Mixed Use UpdateCITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR DISCUSSION, COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING DATE: October 10, 2001 AGENDA ITEM: Mixed Use Update PREPARED BY: Rick Pearson, City Planner - '- ATTACHMENTS: (2) DSU Land Use Concepts and (3) Staff generated Land use / Intersection alternatives; Draft Mixed Use Industrial District SUMMARY Work is proceeding on the TH 52 / TH 55 / CSAH 42 Interchange Partnership Project which will result in a recommendation concerning the final disposition of realigning TH 55 with Th 52 and CSAH 42. As part of the study, a new intersection design will be included for TH 52 and CSAH 42. To date, Staff has participated in the various work sessions discussing the pros and cons of eight different scenarios concerning TH 55 and as many alternatives to the design of the TH 52 / CSAH 42 intersection. Part of the process is bringing other stakeholders into the loop and convincing them that the realignment is a good idea, namely, Ninninger Township and Hastings. Consequently, the pace of the process is very slow, counter to the Council's expectations. One of the key influences to land use planning in this area is access, which is influenced by intersection design. John Shardlow has assembled two land use alternatives based upon the existing "diamond" intersection, and a "folded diamond ". For the sake of discussion, Staff has assembled three additional land use alternatives based upon the most recent Council direction relative to the Industrial Mixed -use land use language that is in development. Given the widely divergent scenarios, Staff would suggest deferring the discussion until the Interchange Partnership Project recommendation is adopted, thus resolving the access and circulation issues. The mining moratorium is due to expire in December. It may be extended, or allowed to expire. Staff feels that minor adjustments to the mineral extraction standards could be prepared to coincide with the end of the moratorium based upon Council direction.

Purpose and Intent: The purpose of the Mixed Use District is to provide an area where commercial, office and industrial uses can be built in a mutually beneficial manner. This area is located on property peripheral to an intersection of principal arterial highways, and is intended to encourage the development of highway oriented commercial businesses and light industrial uses. Within this district it is desirable to protect areas adjacent to the highway from visual obstruction, smoke, dust, vibration, heat, glare, odor and other objectionable influence. Therefore commercial uses, dependent on thoroughfare travel, will be encouraged to develop on land adjacent to the highway, while property not directly adjacent to the highway will be reserved for more intense industrial uses. The area designated as IM District shall be further divided into three (3) districts. IM -1: The purpose of this district is to provide areas for commercial uses that are compatible with highway locations, and are dependant on thoroughfare travel. This district is located near highway interchanges, and provides for the establishment of office buildings, and commercial establishments such as highway oriented retail and wholesale and service uses. Uses are dependant on high visibility, higher standards and are incompatible with general industrial uses. IM -2: This district is intended to serve as a transition between highway commercial and light industrial uses, thus uses allowed in this district shall be limited to those areas which can compatibly exist adjacent to commercial and industrial uses. Located along roads leading to highway interchanges, this district provides for the establishment of custom manufacturing, offices and laboratory research and development. IM -3: The purpose of this district is to provide areas appropriate for low- intensity industrial uses, including light manufacturing, warehousing and distribution, and laboratory research and development. To protect these areas from the disruption and competition of space, this area is located on property not directly adjacent to highways or highway interchanges. This is a transition zone between highway commercial uses and general industrial uses. B. Permitted Uses: The following uses are permitted uses in the IM District. 1. IM -1 a. Automotive Sales and Service, provided the sales and service are enclosed within a building. b. Boat Sales and Service. C. Building Centers. d. Gasoline Stations, subject to standards of 6.XX.C.3 e.
