Council discussion is sought regarding the following components of the Rosemount
Comprehensive Plan:
A. Affordable Housing. The comp plan calls for the city to implement its affordable
housing goals by continuing to participate in the Dakota County HRA cluster. The
comp plan calls for the Dakota Co. Community Development Agency (CDA) to
continue to be the main provider of housing programs in Rosemount. It also calls for
more multi - family housing to be built in Rosemount. The 2020 land use plan map in
the comp plan shows areas where multi- family housing could be built and estimates
the land area at 180 acres. To implement this component of the comp plan, the City
will have to work closely with the Dakota Co. CDA to identify specific areas for
multi- family housing.
B. Commercial. The comp plan forecasts a demand for 350,000 to 1,000,000 square
feet of additional commercial space in Rosemount by the year 2020. The plan sets
out 7 primary objectives for accommodating this demand in a managed way; they fall
under the headings of identity, commercial and civic center, linkages, redevelopment,
appearance, streetscape and surrounding uses. Some of the actions that must betaken
in order to meet these objectives include tying all the commercial areas together with
a new streetscape, redeveloping underutilized properties or non - conforming uses and
setting new design standards to enhance the commercial area's appearance and
identity. Implementation of the plan is underway with the Highway 3 streetscape
proposal now under consideration. It is important that the city continue to move
forward to set new design standards, because that action is relatively inexpensive, it is
largely under the control of the City and it must be in place before the next round of
substantial commercial development and redevelopment occurs.

C. Mixed Uses. The comp plan identifies over 900 acres of land in the vicinity of the
intersection of Co. Rd. 42 and US Highway. 52 as industrial/mixed use. The plan
calls for a new zoning district to be created for this area, and for the elimination of the
out -dated Industrial Park (IP) zoning district. The plan calls for the industrial/mixed
use area to compromise heavy industry, light industry, and some highway commercial
development. The provision of city water to this area will be a major implementation
step.
D. Pre - Zoning. To implement the 2020 land use plan map in the comp plan, the City
should completely revise its zoning map. By doing so the City can pre -zone
significant areas for future development. This zoning map revision should be
completed by the end of the year.
E. Downtown Redevelopment. The comp plan provides a detailed analysis of the
redevelopment potential for downtown Rosemount. It calls for the Port Authority to
use tax increment financing (TIF) and other resources to redevelop sites on a project -
by- project basis in cooperation with private interests. As Rosemount's population
grows, the market for downtown business projects will grow. The City and Port
Authority must monitor the market closely so that they neither underestimate it nor do
projects prematurely.
F. Parking Lot Uses. The comp plan does not devote a great deal of attention to
parking lot uses. The total available parking downtown is considered to be more than
adequate; however, there are site - specific parking issues and challenges downtown.
G. Mining. Rosemount contains within its borders several areas with significant sand
and gravel deposits. While these are not identified in the 2020 comprehensive plan,
the City expects to continue to have considerable mining activity well into the
planning period (to 2020). It is crucial to the redevelopment of mined areas that the
City plan for uses, services and access well before the mining activity concludes. The
current work with a consultant on this issue is needed and timely.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR DISCUSSION
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING DATE: June 12, 2000
AGENDA ITEM: Rosemount 2020 Comprehensive, Plan
Implementation
PREPARED BY: Thomas Burt, City Administrator;
Rick Pearson, City Planner
ATTACHMENTS: Map, Comp Plan excerpt
Now that the Comprehensive Plan has been adopted, the next step is implementation. The
attached excerpt from the plan text lists the various components of the plan that require attention.
There are several different arenas of activity that are all part of the process:
1. Rezoning land in conformance with the land use designation of the plan.
2. Amending the zoning ordinance to create new zoning districts or modify existing districts as
needed based upon the new policies.
3. Cooperating with other agencies concerning specific development, housing, infrastructure
and transportation related issues. For example, Met Council for sewer treatment capacity,
Dakota County and MnDOT for transportation; HRA and Housing for Humanity for housing
issues.
4. The city will also focus internally as capital improvement plans and work programs are
assembled which will reflect new policies.
Given all of the objectives, staff recognizes the need to prioritize and focus efforts to accomplish
the goals in a timely manner. Three immediate needs are apparent:
1. Continue the zoning ordinance "overhaul" process starting with the Commercial
Districts.
2. Create the "Mined -use Industrial District" for the Highway 521CSAH 42 corridors.
3. Rezone land in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan with the focus on land
that has the most anticipated pressure for development.
Balancing the demands of these priorities with development related applications influences the
timing of the completion of various components of the comp plan implementation. Work will be
initiated as soon as possible with the objective of completion of these components in the fall.
Spring and summer are usually the busiest times of the year based upon the demands of the
construction season and development cycles in general. Fall is normally the optimum time to
resume and complete work plan objectives as development pressure usually dissipates.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Intended for discussion only.

management process via an implementation plan. The implementation plan will
involve modifications of city controls and policies, especially zoning amendments,
including both ordinance amendments and rezonings.
Additional studies go beyond the scope of the Comprehensive Plan, but will
influence aspects of the plan such as the Commercial Center revitalization plan,
ongoing and future transportation studies and occasional initiatives generated
externally by various applicants.
The Comprehensive Plan also has an amendment process to consider changes
to the plan as a result of new ideas, strategies, or relevant development
initiatives.

completed within one year of the Plan's official adoption. Major amendments will
include:
1. Zoning Map. Change all Agriculture areas guided for Rural Residential;
change all Agriculture areas guided for Urban Residential; change all
Agriculture areas guided for Business Park; and, change all Agriculture
areas guided for General Industrial or Industrial/Mixed Use.
2. Zoning Ordinance. Add new districts for "Industrial /Mixed Use" and
"Agriculture Research "; eliminate the outdated Industrial Park (IP) district,
and amend existing zoning districts as a required update process.
A listing and description of all zoning districts with each corresponding land use
category is provided as follows:

5.1.5 Implementation Plan Components — Housing
The following strategies are provided in order that Rosemount meets or exceeds
its housing goals as identified in Section 2.3.3. (Goals) and Section 3.3
(Housing):
1. Maintain the city's partnership within the Dakota County cluster for the
Metropolitan Livable Communities Act (LCA).
2. Evaluate the city's housing goals related to LCA based upon the adopted
comprehensive plan and further research on local affordable housing
conditions/needs.
3. Limit multi- family housing units between 1995 -2020 to no more than 25
percent of all units.
4. Distribute affordable housing units throughout the MUSA with some
targeting for multi - family units (i.e., new collector /arterial roadways and
commercial areas).
5. Maintain rural residential areas on conforming lots as an important
housing choice and land use character in Rosemount.
6. Initiate new housing improvement programs that encourage reinvestment
in older homes, which preserves affordable housing opportunities.
7. Allow apartments in single family homes under a conditional use permit
process as another approach for affordable housing opportunities.
8. Support new rental housing opportunities in order to maintain 20 percent
of all housing as renter occupied.
9. Strengthen the downtown commercial area with additional high- density
housing development at targeted locations.
10. Support mixed use developments within areas designated as commercial
in order to provide housing, employment and shopping connections within
compact areas.
