Look to the Future <br />A map of future land use within the analysis <br />area was compiled using information pulled <br />from city comprehensive plans. Land use <br />for each city was summarized into six <br />categories for easier comparison. <br />The resulting map (below) shows a <br />concentration of commercial and mixed <br />use activity along major corridors. Some <br />areas are clearly targeted for mixed <br />use development and are undergoing <br />urbanization. Such areas include the <br />Center of Ramsey (COR) on the north side <br />of US Highways 10/169, central Anoka <br />surrounding the Northstar Commuter Rail <br />Station, the I-94 corridor from Maple Grove <br />to Hwy 101, areas adjacent to Hwy 101 <br />within Hennepin County and large areas in <br />and around central Elk River. <br />ji <br />Future land <br />use analysis <br />Monticello <br />I�e~� <br />L <br />L. <br />Buffalo <br />Legend <br />e <br />Existing River Crossing <br />Metropolitan Planning Organization <br />(MPO) Area <br />City Boundaries <br />Future Land Uses <br />Intensive Development Areas <br />Agriculture / Park / Open Space <br />Low Density Residential <br />Institutional <br />Waterbodies <br />Rivers & Streams <br />Lake <br />The COR (Center of Ramsey) downtown development along US <br />Highways 10/169 and the Ramsey Northstar Commuter Rail Station <br />in Ramsey, MN. <br />Elk River <br />- ISSIPPI-RIVER 1 <br />VA <br />Saint Michael <br />Rockford <br />Greenfield <br />Otsego` <br />Nowthen <br />_Ramsey <br />Maple Grove <br />Image displays three future land use categories for the northwest metro area on both sides of the river. <br />Chaplin <br />0 3 <br />Miles <br />Source: MnGeo, Met Council, and Cities of Anoka, Brooklyn <br />Park, Champlin, Coon Rapids, Dayton, Elk River, Maple Grove, <br />Otsego, Ramsey, & Rogers. <br />Concentration <br />of future <br />development <br />will be along <br />major corridors. <br />Spring <br />Lake <br />Park <br />Fridley <br />Overview and Need Context and Land Use Traffic Analysis <br />Improvement Concepts <br />Next Steps <br />page 5 <br />
