SUMMARY
Staff is seeking Council direction regarding the mixed use industrial area designated by the
Comprehensive Plan for the US 52 and CSAH 42 intersection area. Staff has anticipated that this
area will combine industrial with somewhat higher performance expectations (than General
Industrial) with commercial uses that draw from high traffic volumes, but are not dependant on
adjacent residential development.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Intended for discussion and direction only.
COUNCIL ACTION:
2020 Comprehensive Plan Update
The employment forecast shows an increase of 4,555 new jobs between 1995
and 2020 for an average of 180 per year. Assuming that two- thirds (2/3) of the
new jobs are related to industrial businesses, then 120 new jobs per year
translates into 3.0 million square feet of industrial space (at 10 jobs per 10,000
I square feet). This further translates into a land area need of approximately 12 -15
acres per year, or 300.375 acres during the 25 -year planning period. This
forecast should be increased, however, since businesses in eastern Rosemount
are expected to be larger land users (e.g., truck terminals and heavy industries).
Therefore, a multiplier of 2.0 should be used, resulting in a forecast range of 600-
I 750 acres of industrial need from 1995 -2020.
3.5.4 Land Use Categories
The industrial land uses are divided into three general categories, including
! General Industrial (GI), Business Park (BP), and Industrial Mixed (IM). Each
category is intended to address the industrial needs of varied locations within
Rosemount. Figures 3.5 -B through 3.5 -C present maps of industrial areas. The
! industrial land uses are further defined as follows:
General Industrial (GI). This category is intended to allow a wide range
i of industrial uses, including those that rely on outside storage and heavy
equipment operations. These land uses are more typical of those
I currently found in the eastern "Pine Bend" area with the predominant use
being Koch Refining. Only one area of GI is provided west of Akron
i Avenue, which is located along the north side of 160 Street directly east
of Highway 3. Approximately 810 net acres would be available for new
development within MUSA.
L
Business Park (BP). This category is intended to allow a more narrow
range of industrial uses, including those that may include corporate offices
' and /or high technology operations. Higher standards of site and building
design are part of this district. One predominant area of BP is provided
south of Highway 42, north of 160 Street (future Highway 46), west of
Biscayne Avenue, and east of Highway 3. Two other smaller areas
include property along both sides of 145 Street west of Biscayne Avenue
and the former Brockway Glass buildings. Approximately 300 net acres
would be available in this area for new development, all within MUSA:
Industrial Mixed (IM). This category is intended to allow a mix of general
industrial uses and highway oriented commercial uses. This new land use
designation is proposed for an area to the north and to the southeast of
the Highway 42/52 intersection. Rosemount supports this designation in
anticipation of a major reconstruction of that intersection by 2005, which
would allow safer on and off access points. Approximately 290 net acres
would be available in this area for new development, all within the MUSA.
