<br />DRAFT <br /> <br />Background <br />City of Cantervflle <br />2030 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br />Natural Resource Data (MLCCSJ <br /> <br />The Minnesota Land Cover Classification System is a tool used by natural resource <br />managers and planners to classify urban areas in terms of land cover instead of land <br />use. These classifications can help decision-makers identify areas that are of high <br />natural resource value, and therefore worth preserving, and areas of lower value, which <br />may be more appropriate for development. Knowing the classification of the land cover <br />can also help identify areas appropriate for stormwater treatment and park land. <br />MLCCS data Is collected and compiled by the Minnesota DNR in cooperation with local, <br />state and federal agencies. <br /> <br />Because Centervllle is approaching full build-out, there are fewer decisions left to be <br />made about converting natural areas to urban or developed areas. However, there are a <br />few undeveloped areas, mainly in the northeast and south, which contain forest land <br />which may be valuable to preserve. Figure 4 shows the land cover clesslficatlon for <br />Centerville. <br /> <br />20 <br />
