Summary Findings I Conclusions and Recommended Next Steps were developed for land use strategies, regional high- ways, minor arterials, and transit. They are outlined below. Land Use-Findings/Conclusions 1. According to best estimates from Coalition cities, approxi- mately 7,900 gross acres will be development or redevel- oped by 2020. Of this, 42% will be developed by 2005; another 33% by 2010; and the balance of 25% by 2020. Generally, development will occur first and most rapidly in northern portion of the Coalition (Blaine) and then in the central and southern portions of the subregion. There are pockets of redevelopment occurring in the central and southern portions of the Coalition and this development tend to be more dense and mixed use in nature. Land Use Comparison of Developed 2. Application of livable community principles generates more jobs and dwelling units than conventional development and Redeveloped Areas strategies. Although both development scenarios have more growth than is currently projected by the Met Council, the e Commercial & 1,799 1,348 1.348 Coalition growth scenario has both more jobs and more Industrial dwelling units than the conventional scenario.

The growth Civic 28 272 266 projections for the conventional and Coalition growth sce- narios respectively represent 9% and 11 % of the regional ROW 420 543 539 growth assumed for 2020. The ratio of jobs to housing !e- 698 596 591 mains much the same in both scenarios. Storm Water 3. The additional growth in the Coalition growth scenario is attributable to the increased number of mixed-use centers and more compact residential subdivisions, which have higher job and housing densities. Also, mixed-use devel- opments are frequently sited in redevelopment locations, which increases densities even more because of the finan- cial need to offset the higher cost of redevelopment. 4. In both scenarios development in NE Blaine and on the TCAAP site generates the greatest majority of new hous- ing in the Coalition (68% in the conventional scenario and 73% in the Coalition growth scenario). . 5. The Coalition growth scenario generates an job increase of 60% over 2000, while the conventional scenario adds 18
