Centerville2040 Comprehensive Plan A set of design standards to guide the architectural quality of new development within the downtown area. The master plan was also coordinated with the plans for the redesign and expansion of County State Aid Highway 14 (Main Street). The master plan integrated efforts to calm traffic, provide a safe pedestrian environment and provide guidelines for buildings that respected the pedestrian scale and encouraged walkability. It is anticipated that following the adoption of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan that the City will revisit the Downtown Master Plan to updated it based on market feasibility. While the master plan will evolve the basis of the downtown vision as a mixed use development will remain. E MPLOYMENT According to the Metropolitan Council, the City had 430 jobs in 2016. According to the MN DEED Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, most of the major employers in Centerville can be classified as education and health services, leisure and hospitality, construction and trade, or transportation and utility. Innovative Tools & Technologies, Inc, North Metro Millwork, and John Hart, USA are examples of businesses in the City’s existing industrial park. Further employment opportunities are anticipated to include manufacturing, service, and office positions. Forecasting employment involves numerous criteria. The level of retail development may follow the extent of residential activity. The amount of retail development in adjacent communities will also impact the potential in Centerville. Industrial uses vary dramatically in terms of jobs per acre or floor area. The size of the industrial area suggests that larger, employment-intensive industries would be the exception in Centerville. According to the Metropolitan Council local forecast, Employment is estimated to increase from 430 to 590 jobs by the year 2040. This equates to 80 jobs for each ten year growth stage. Currently, the City has approximately 48 acres of land guided for commercial and 12 acres of land guided as industrial. Using the current employment figure of 430 jobs as of 2016 within the community we can estimate that Centerville has roughly 7.2 jobs per developed commercial or industrial acre. Between 2020 and 2040, Centerville hopes that the remaining 51 acres of land guided for commercial and 67 acres of vacant land guided industrial will develop consistent with the Future Land Use Plan. This would bring total acres of commercial land to 99 acres and industrial land to 79 acres. Page 46
