<br />Development in areas guided Mixed Use must comply with the following <br />performance standards: <br /> <br />1. The land use and site design must be sensitive to the surrounding land uses <br />in the area, including but not limited to building height, exterior composition, <br />landscaping, and site access. <br /> <br />2. The road network within new development shall promote the safe and <br />convenient traffic movement. The project design must incorporate access <br />management design elements for access to arterial and collector roadways. <br /> <br />3. Municipal water and sanitary sewer service must be available. <br /> <br />4. All development shall address environmental concems with regard to site <br />planning, landscaping, impervious surfacing, open space, and storm water <br />management. Stormwater management must incorporate methods to protect <br />and improve water quality such as infiltration, buffering of water bodies, and <br />other natural methods whenever feasible. <br /> <br />5. Commercial site designs shall emphasize pedestrian accessibility, <br />connections to residential neighborhoods, shared parking, and green space <br />to create a customer friendly environment and promote a high level of <br />interaction among local businesses and between businesses and residents. <br /> <br />6. Architectural and site standards shall be applied to establish aesthetically <br />pleasing, high quality buildings and streetscapes. <br /> <br />West Side of 1-35E <br /> <br />A 370-acre development site is located ~ mile north of Main St., between 1-35E <br />and CSAH 21 (20th Ave.). This site is to be developed with commercial and <br />residential uses. The concept plan for the development includes 500,000 to <br />600,000 square feet of commercial space on 55 to 70 acres of the site. A variety <br />of single family and multi-family residential development will include <br />approximately 1200 dwelling units. The net residential density is to be <br />approximately 4.5 units per acre, when including all land not within the <br />commercial area. While these are the approximate use parameters, the specifics <br />of the development are to be part of a master plan using a planned unit <br />development approach. <br /> <br />In the northeast comer of the site, a triangle is formed by 1-35E, a pipeline, and <br />the property boundary. This area could be designed to accommodate an office <br />campus type use, which could be a suitable land use along the freeway. This <br />would reduce the amount of residential land noted above and increase the <br />commercial land. Such flexibility is appropriate to accommodate what will be <br />determined as the best use of the triangle area. <br /> <br />September 2005 <br /> <br />18 <br />
