Metrc'politan Disposal System facilities serving the redevelopment site have <br />adequate capacity for the proposed flow. <br /> <br />Item 25 -Nearby Resour~es (Jan Youngquist, 651-602-1029) <br /> <br />The EA W Jdentifies the two planned regional trails that will be located in or near <br />the project area-the CentI1al Anoka County Regional Trail and the Rice Creek <br />Chain of Lakes-Bald Eagle Regional Trail. The Central Anoka County Regional <br />Trail will be located on the south side ofCSAH 14/Main Street and will be built <br />in conjunction with the pet1ding road reconstruction project. The EA W states that <br />the Rice Creek Chain of L$.es-Bald Eagle Regional Trail will run along <br />Centerville Road to connect to the Central Anoka County Regional Trail. The <br />planned regional trail is proposed to follow Goiffon Road instead of Centerville <br />Road, hOWi~ver. This proposed alignment will route the trail near the project area, <br />not thrOUgll the center of the redevelopment. <br /> <br />Item 27 - Permits and Approvals Required <br /> <br />The EA W ;orrectly ipdicates the proposed redevelopment is consistent with the <br />City's comprehensive plan and downtown master plan and states that the purpose <br />ofthe projoct is to revitalize a struggling downtown business district and to add <br />new and affordable housin~ stock to the City. This appears consistent with Jhe <br />Council's Housing policy. The proposed addition of374 housing units over the <br />next five y,~ars will afford the community an opportunity to achieve its Livable <br />Community negotiated housing goals through 2010. It will also allow the <br />community the opportunity to address its share of the region's affordable housing <br />need of 80 units during the 2011-2020 time period. (Linda Milashius, 651-602- <br />1541 ) <br /> <br />, <br />However, job growth likely to result from the redevelopment could push <br />employment levels above 1jhe Council's 2030 employment forecast for the City <br />unless it strictly replaces ekisting jobs, i.e. no net increase. Centerville has had <br />179 net job growth from 2~OO to 2006, is above the 2010 Council forecast, and is <br />only 128 jClbs short of the 2030 forecast. The City is encouraged to re-evaluate its <br />employment growth and fdrecasts for purposes of its 2008 comprehensive plan <br />update and to discuss its expectations with Council research staff.
