Administrator 1 believe that P&Z has substantially addressed items 1-6. We should confIrm that you are satisfIed with the proposed resolution. then continue to resolve the items 7-16 I) Modified 154.023 Site plan review process. I suggest removing the 30 day requirement in (A). Also, the number of copies to submit should change. We do not need sixteen copies. We are bener off with a much smaller number of paper copies in addition to electronic versions. 2) Included. 154.110 Fence side setback. A number of people have objected to the requirement to place a fence two feet from the property line where they cannot get the adjoining property owner to agree to a boundary line fence. We hear: ''this is a waste of two feet of my property." 3) Modified 10 aI/ow decorative fences only in ell front yards. 154.110 Fences in front yards of commercial and industrial uses. Current rules allow 8 foot fences in front yards of commercial-industrial uses. Do you really intend to allow this? 4) Modified language provided. 154.110 Fences in front of residential structures. We may want to refer to front yard rather than front of building. This would clearly indicate that the corner lots may not have a privacy fence in either front side. If this is too restrictive, you may want to limit the long corner side to one-half of the distance from the principal structure to the front property line. 5) Left in place. but will restrict snow fences 10 R-I districts. 154.110 (C) Barbed wire and electric fencing. Allowed in R-I zone. You may want to restrict this to animal holding areas and not allow it to be used as a boundary fence. 6) Modified to require fencing around permanent pools. 154.110 (E) Swimming pool fencing. Required for any pool with water depth over 24 inches. This may be too broad. Ii 154.023 SITE PLAN REVIEW REQUIRED. (A) Review scheduling. For all land use applications or permit applications for commercial or industrial structures, a site plan review is required by the ~Iannin~ an~.

The comprehensive planning process considers the Mure of the community based on characteristics of today. To help facilitate planning efforts it Is Important to understand all factors affecting the city today. The following sections will discuss demographics, facilities, natural resources, housing, water resources and the transportation system. This background Information has served as guide for participants in the planning process. The City of Centerville has seen many changas, espacially In terms of growth, since the adoption of the last Comprehensive Plan. The city's last Comprehensive Plan was officially adopted in 1997. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan now required by the Metropolitan Council focuses on planning for the next 20 years. This plan Is especially Important for Centerville beceuse it will guide the community to full bulld-out. There are very few vacant parcels remaining In the city, and by the next time the Comprehensive Plan Is updated, Centerville may be focusing on infill and redevelopment rather than development on any vacant parcels. This Comprehensive Plan provides a vision and plan for what the fully-built community will look like, and how it will function. Metrooo/itan Council In 1967 the Minnesota Legislature created the Metropolitan Council to plan and coordinate the orderly development of the seven-county metropolitan area. Minnesota law requires every municipality and county within the metropolitan area to prepare and submit a comprehensive plan to the Metropolitan Council that addresses all required components of the 2030 Regional Development Framework. The City's plan must be consistent with the Metropolitan Council's system plans. To assist local governments in this effort, the Metropolitan Council Issues a "Systems Statemenf to each community that describes the specific areas that must be addressed as part of the local comprehensive plan. The City of Centervllle was issued an updated system statement on September 12, 2005 and submitted Its 2030 Comprehensive Plan to the Metropolitan Council In fc:Month, Year>J . The City of Centervllle Is classified by the Metropolitan Council as a "Developing" community (Figure 1). The developing communities are the cities where the most substantial amount of new growth will occur - about 60 percent of new households and 40 percent of new jobs. Developments should be 3 - 5+ units per acre, with higher densities near transportation corridors. The Metropolitan Council requires Centervllle to plan for 20 years of growth and identify post-2030 growlh areas. Centerville also needs to plan for a community-wide transportation system. Connections need to be made between transportation, transit, pedestrian and bicycle facilities and land uses. The city needs to improve transportation connections and Identify trensit opportunities. The City must develop transition strategies to increase density and encourage Infill development. Also the Metropolitan Council requires that developing communities conserve, protect, and enhance natural resources by doing the following: 4 DRAFT Background CIty of Centervllle 2030 Comprehensive Plan FIgure 1 - 2030 Framework JfHOFr~ Planning Areas "~'... ~ r~, Centervllle - "Developing Community" rn o 1:11 .

Centervllle presently has a faster growth rate than the county, Increasing by approximately 155 households per year between 1990 and 2005. The city added 558 households In the 1990s. The Met Council forecast shows that Centerville will be adding an additional 555 households between 2005 and 2030. Although Centervllle saw dramatic growth in the 1990's, It should be noted that the community Is almost fully bullt-out, and as the forecast data shows, growth is likely to slow In the coming years.

Nearly 10% of the ecreage of Centerville (149 acres) is within the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park Reserve, which provides a variety of recreation opportunities, as well as .passlve. natural areas intended for the preservation of wildlife habitat. Metropolitan Council requires that all regional parks have 80% of their land preserved In a natural state. Centerville also has a sidewalk and trail system intended to connect the city's parks and serve as a transportation system. Figure 5 shows the city's existing and planned parks, trails and sidewalks. Centerville's current land use plan also shows areas guided for Mure park land. These areas are generally located near vacant or agricultural land In the city that may in the near Mure develop to residential uses. Planned park and trail systems Include: . A bituminous trail from the eastem boundary to the westem boundary along Main Avenue. Additional sidewalk is also planned along portions of this route. . A bituminous trail along the northern boundary of the city parkland on the western edge of the city from laMotte Drive to Centerville Road. . A park near the developing area east of Dupre Road. . An addition to the park on the westem edge of the city north of Hunters Trail. The comprehensive plan update process will include a review of these planned improvements and any necessary revisions. Realonal Trails and Metrooolltan Council Reaulrements The system statement provided by the Metropolitan Council in preparation for Centerville's Comprehensive Plan update Identifies two regional trails that are planned to pass through Centerville. Both trails have a planned general alignment, and the Metropolitan Council requires that these alignments be acknowledged in the City's updated Comprehensive Plan. The regional trails include: . Central Anoka County Regional Trail. This trail Is an east-west trail that Is located in the central part of the county. In Centerville it will connect Rice Creek Chain of Lakes on the west with the Hardwood Creek Regional Trail In Washington County to the east. . Rica Creek Chain of Lakes - Bald Eagle Regional Trail. This trail will connect Bald Eagle Regional Park with Rice Creek Chain of lekes Regional Park. In Centerville it will run near the right-of-way of Centerville Road and connect to the east-west Anoka County Regional Trail near Main Avenue. Both of these planned trail alignments are shown in Figure 5. The Metropolitan Council also requires the boundary of the Rice Creek Chain of lakes Regional Park to be 18 DRAFT Background City of Cantervflle 2030 Comprehensive Plan Natural Resource Data (MLCCSJ The Minnesota Land Cover Classification System is a tool used by natural resource managers and planners to classify urban areas in terms of land cover instead of land use. These classifications can help decision-makers identify areas that are of high natural resource value, and therefore worth preserving, and areas of lower value, which may be more appropriate for development. Knowing the classification of the land cover can also help identify areas appropriate for stormwater treatment and park land. MLCCS data Is collected and compiled by the Minnesota DNR in cooperation with local, state and federal agencies. Because Centervllle is approaching full build-out, there are fewer decisions left to be made about converting natural areas to urban or developed areas. However, there are a few undeveloped areas, mainly in the northeast and south, which contain forest land which may be valuable to preserve. Figure 4 shows the land cover clesslficatlon for Centerville. 20 DRAFT Background CIty of Centerville 2030 Comprehensive Plan Figura 5 - Parks and Trails Plan 22 DRAFT Background City of Centervl/le 2030 Comprehensive Plan Figure 6 - Permits Issued by Type Building Penn1t8 by Type 160 1<<1 --~------1 60 []Resl_ .

The graph shows a steady decline in residential permits issued since the racen! peak In 2002, and the largest peak on racord In 1998. The racent peak Is almost certainly due In some part to the decline in the housing market that has bean sean throughout the metro area, but also may be attributable to the fact that Centerville Is reaching full bulld-out. Figura 7 below, showing estimated value of permits, shows a similar trend. Permit value stayed relatively steady from 2000 to 2004, and then dropped off dramatically In 2005 and 2006. $18.000.000 $16,000.000 $14,cm,CIOO $12,000.000 $10,000,000 $8,000,000 $8.000.000 $4.000,000 $2.000.000 20 o 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 I1l.dIdIng Permlls Eallm...d V_ $- 1998 1997 1998 1999 20IXl 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 5....- .

Pollee & Fire DeDartments Centerville has two separate joint powers agreements with the Centennial Lakes Police and Fire Departments to provide police and fire services to Its residents. Centervllle also has a fire station located next to City Hali. Both police and fire protection are provided 24 hours a day. Public Works Centervilie's public works department Is responsible for snow and Ice removal and street sweeping on city roads. They are also responsible for maintaining the water, sanitary sewer, stormweter, fire hydrants and parks within the city. Public works Is also responsible for testing and maintaining water supply and maintaining four sanitary sewer lift stations and 18 miles of sewer trunk. Centervllle Is relocating Its public works facilities for the city, and considering the relocation and expansion of Centervllle City Hali. The location and final plans for City Hali Is yet to be determined. The City has purchased a site in the southeast comer of the City for use as a public works facility. 30 1.101'::1'::' DRAFT Background City of CanleNllle 2030 Comprehensive Plan Sanitary Sewer Centervllle Is fully served by existing sewer Infrastructure. Figure 11 shows the existing sanitary sewer system and Figure 10 shows the existing phasing of the MUSA (metropolitan urban service area) boundary. The Metropolitan Council asks that Centervllle verify Its long term needs for sewer services as part of the Comprehensive Plan update. The Metropolitan Council determines needs for new Infrastructure based on historical wastewater flow data and the projected sewered housing and employment data. Table 16 below shows Metropolitan Councils projections for population, households, employment and average annual wastewater flows. Table 16 .

If Centervllle plans a total wastewater flow in excess of the Met Council's forecasts, the assumptions will be analyzed by the Met Council for their potential adverse effects on the capacity or operation of the metropolitan system. In addition, the Met Council's Regional Devalopment Framework sets overell minimum residential density standard of 3 to 5 units per acre In developed and daveloplng araas where urban service Is located or planned. The average minimum standard of 3 units per acre Is Important to the efficient use of regional systems, including wastewater system investments. If the city plans urban development at overall densities that are substantially lower than Identified for your community In the Council's Growth Management Strategy Section of the Systems Information Statement will also be analyzed by the Met Council for their potential adverse effects on the cost of providing metropolitan sewer service. The Metropolitan Council has completed a review of the current Information In the city's existing comprehensive plan and has determined that the following Information Is needed to update the sewer element of the city's comprehensive plan/local sewer policy plan: . A sewer map showing the city's existing service area and proposed trunk sewer system through 2030 and ultimate sewer service area. .

This existing Information will be used as a starting point for the transportation element of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. In addition, Washington County will complete limited traffic modeling for their comprehensive planning that will be available for the city to use. Roadwav System Figure 13 identifies roadways In the City of Centervllle, Including their jurisdiction and "functional classification." These roadways are under the jurisdiction of different levels of government, Including Anoke County and the City of Centerville. Limited eccass roadways that carry larger volumes of traffic at higher speeds tend to be under the jurisdiction of the State of Minnesota (e.g.. Interstates, U.S. Highways. and State Trunk Highways). Roads that carry mostly local traffic are under the jurisdiction and ara the responsibility of the City. Anoka County has jurisdiction of roads that carry intermediate levels of traffic end which provide connections among communities in the County. County roedways Include those that receive direct aid from the State of Minnesota, which are called County State Aid Highways (CSAHs), and general County Roads. Roadways In the City are described by their functional classifications In the sections that follow. 36 '08/2/27 DRAFT Background City of Centervl//e 2030 Comprehensive Plan Planned Transoortatlon ImDrovements A number of transportation Improvements ara currently In various stages of planning.

Staae Bidding Planning Planning Bidding *3-Lane refers to a two lane roadway with a center turn lane as depicted below. CSAH 14 Reconstruction One of the current transportation projects most Important to Centervllle Is the County State Aid Highway 14 reconstructlon. At the time of this report, the county Is bidding for the reconstructlon of CSAH 14 between 1-35W and 1-35E. The project will j-- upgrade the current - two-lane, undMded road to a "3-Lane" with some medians. A "3-Lane" rafers to a two lane highway dMded by a center, common left turn lane running the length of the project. Between 1-35E and 21st Ave. (CSAH 54), there Is a center median which restricts left turns onto or off of the county highway. At the Intersectlon of 20th Ave. and CSAH 14, the median allows westbound CSAH 14 traffic to turn left onto 20th Ave., but does not allow northbound 20th Ave. treffic to turn left onto CSAH14. This Is depicted on the Transportation System map as a "3/4 movement Intersectlon". The City has constructed a "Backage Road" connectlon between 20th and 21 st. In part, to offset the affects of these new turning restrictlons. ;: ','-(1" J. j. "4' ~ 1.1'-(1" z,g_,..J,.", .

Centerville is currently over 80% developed and by 2020 will likely approach or reach full build out. While the focus of the previous Comprehensive Plan was to guide and manage growth to occur In a contiguous and efficient manner, this plan will focus on the appropriate land uses for the small amount of remaining vacant land, some emerging opportunities for redevelopment. Growth Assumptions/Land Availability It is estimated there are currently 270 acres of vacant or agricultural land In Centervllle. This includes land Inside and outside of the MUSA. Future development In CentervUle will be limited to a few key areas of the City, which were the focus of the Planning Commission and City Council during the plan update process. These areas Included: commercial and Industrial land near the City's eastern border, agricultural and vacant land near the northern and southern borders, and redevelopment areas near the downtown and the lakes. Figure 8 shows the actually use of the land In Centervllle today, regardless of planned land use. This map Identifies vacant land. and provides a basis for future planning.

Table 20 56 DRAFT Land Uss City of Centervlfle 2030 Comprehensive Plsn Residential Uses A primary concern for the City regarding residential uses is to protect and enhance the existing housing stock and to allow new residential developments that contain low, medium and high density housing as appropriate. The residential areas currently served by utilities consist primarily of low density single family detached housing. Existing available land for residential development is either contiguous with areas presently served by pUblic utilities, or is within areas guided for redevelopment such as the Downtown Area. It Is assumed that public utilities will be extended to new residential development as appropriate and in a contiguous manner. The Future Land Use Plan (Figure 15) Includes four land use categories for residential uses: low, medium and high density residential, and mixed use. These land use categories are described below. Low Density Residential: These areas are composed of detached, single-family homes. The density will average three to five units per acre without taking into account wetlands, right of way and other undevelopable land. Medium Density Residential: These areas are composed of a mixture of detached and atteched single-family units. The density will average five units per ecre. When developments take place through PUD or over larger land areas, higher density portions should be concentrated near major transportation corridors or neighboring areas of hlgh- density development. High Density Residential: These areas are composed of primarily attached units in multi-story structures. The density will be twelve units pre acre and greater. CBD/Mlxed-Use: These areas are composed of both residential and commercial uses, usually in a vertlcel mixture (ground-floor retail with residential above). The density wliI be eight units per acre and above. These areas provide buildings that are close to the street, with particular focus on providing a pedestrian-friendly environment. The Downtown Master Plan contains detailed plans and design guidelines for these areas. The areas proposed for residential growth during the planning period include medium density development in the southern portion of the City on what is currently some of the last remaining agricultural land, low density development east of Mill Road and north of Revoir Street, and high density and mixed use development at various locations in the City including the downtown redevelopment area. Commercial Uses The Future Land Use Plan identifies appropriate locations for commercial uses and Mure development opportunities. There Is one land use category for commercial development (other than the CBD/Mixed Use category previously described). The City will encourage clustering of commercial development, as opposed to strip developments, in an effort to minimize highway access concerns, to strengthen the viability and marketability of co-Iocated services and to minimize the Impacts on the natural environment of the City. The existing commercial areas will continue to develop in the City, with continued expansion of the current commercial area west of CSAH 21 and County Road 54, north 58 DRAFT Land Use City of Centervl/le 2030 Comprehensive Plan convenient access and parking. Site buffering, landscaping and design criteria will also be evaluated. Downtown Master Plan & Development Guidelines The Downtown Area Master Plan & Development Guidelines propose recommendations that will reinforce and guide public/private Investment in a manner that will strengthen the viability of the area and recommend Downtown Centerville as a community destination of the highest quality. The Master Plan is Intended to guide the form and character of development within downtown for the next twenty years. Beginning In the summer of 2005, and approved by the City Council In January of 2006, the master plan Includes a set of design guidelines and zoning amendments. The purpose of the Master Plan & Development Guidelines Is to establish an appropriate framework for future redevelopment of downtown as a vibrant Mixed-Use destination, to Incorporate: . An overall vision for redevelopment of the area, Including the pattern, form and character of new development and open space In the Interest of creating a cohesive Traditional Mixed-Use Downtown Mixed-Use neighborhood and downtown area. . A framework of transportation improvements needed to support the redevelopment of the area and to create appropriate levels of parking as well as vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian access to the downtown. . 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 treffic, provide a safe pedestrian environment and provide guidelines for buildings that respected the pedestrian scale and encouraged walkabllity. The Metropolitan Council currently classifies Centervllle as a 'Developing Community". The Downtown Master Plan specifically addresses some of the reqUirements that the Met Council asks Developing Communities to fulfill. These include: . Planning for and guiding Infill development, redevelopment, and adaptive reuse of structures to diversify housing, connect housing to jobs, and Integrate new development Into existing neighborhoods. . Increasing Ilfecycle and affordable housing opportunities. Employment According to the Metropolitan Council, the City had 363 jobs in 2000. According to the MnPro Community Profile, most of the major employers In Centervllle can be classified as servlca sector jobs, Including food servica, gasoline stations and grocary stores. Infrasource and Northern Forest Products are the two major employers In the City that do not fall into that category. Further employment opportunities are anticipated to include retail, manufacturing, servica 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.

In addition to the total amount of units it is important to understand housing tenure and amount of owner and rental occupancy. Data from the 2000 Census finds that the community has a 66.2% owner-occupied and 33.8% rental occupied housing mix. Each new household added to a city requires an additional housing unit and results In Increasing residential land uses. Centervllla presently has a faster growth rata than tha county, increasing by approximately 155 households per year between 1990 and 2005. The city added 558 households in the 1990s. The Met Council forecast shows that Centerville will be adding an additional 555 households between 2005 and 2030. Since the City has determined that it is Important to exceed a population of 5,000. the City has adopted land use policies that will Increase the population after full build-out.

In 1995 prior to the locel comprehensive plan updates prepared for the period of 1998 and 2008 the Metropolitan Council created the Livable Communities Act (LCA). The goal of this program was to stimulate construction of affordable housing within the seven-county metropolitan region. Metro area communities were asked to participate voluntarily and Centervllle has been a participant since Its Inception. Once they choose to participate, communities negotiate Ilfe-cycle housing goals with the Metropolitan Council. Various grant programs were established to assist locel govemment in meeting their goals. Centervllle's goals for the period of 1996-2010 are shown In Table 27. Table 27 - Uvable Communities Act Goal DIstribution Years 1996-2000 Multiple Family/Affordable 60/7 Senior Housing/Affordable 16/16 Single Family/Affordable 125/45 Additional Non-Single Family 30 Source: CItv of Centerville Housing Action Plan 2001-2005 70/7 0/0 125/30 30 2006-2010 60/7 14/14 125/22 20 Since 1996 47 affordable rental units and 130 owner-occupied homes have been constructed in Centerville. Rental units are affordable to households eamlng 50% or less of the regional median Income. Owner-occupied units are affordable to households eamlng 80% or less of the regional median Income. These rates match the Metropolitan Council's definition of affordabillty. which stipulate that units are affordable If a household does not spend more than 30 percent of Its income on housing expenses. The Twin Cities metropolitan area median income is $54.304. 80 percent of this amount Is $43,443 Is, which translates Into a $201,800 owner-occupied home. 2020 LeA Goals As mentioned above the benchmerk and goals expire in 2010. As part of the 2030 Regional Development Framework, the Metropolitan Council estimates that approximately 50,000 additional affordable housing units will be needed in the region during the planning period of 2011-2020. The Metropolitan Council will be working with communities to adopt new agreements in 2011 for the next ten year cycle. In order to do this the Metropolitan Council conducted the study "Determining Affordable Housing Need In the Twin Cities 2011-2020". With this new plan the Metropolitan Council has changed their definition of affordable housing from of 80% of area median Income to 60% of area median income. The study then described an allocation method to all communities within the region based on the following four criteria: . Household Growth Potential .

IDRAFT Land Use City of Centervllle 2030 Comprehensive Plan Residential Uses A primary concern for the City regarding residential uses is to protect and enhance the existing housing stock and to allow new residential developments that contain low, medium and high density housing as appropriate. The residential areas currentiy served by utilities consist primarily of low density single family detached housing. Existing available land for residential development Is either contiguous with areas presentiy served by public utilities. or is within areas guided for redevelopment such as the Downtown Area. It is assumed that public utilities will be extended to new residential development as appropriate and In a contiguous manner. The Future Land Use Plan (Figure 15) includes four land use cetegorles for residential uses: low, medium and high density residential, and mixed use. These land use cetegorles are described below. Low Density Residential: These arees are composed of detached, single-family homes. The density will average three to five units per ecre wlthout taking into account wetlands, right of way and other undevelopable land. Medium Density Residential: These areas are composed of a mixture of detached and attached single-family units. The density will average five units per acre. When developments take place through PUD or over larger land areas, higher density portions should be concentrated near major transportation corridors or neighboring areas of hlgh- density development. High Density Residential: These areas are composed of primarily attached units in multi-story structures. The density will be twelve units pre acre and greater. CBD/Mlxed-Use: These areas are composed of both residential and commercial uses, usually In a verticel mixture (ground-floor retail wlth residential above). The density will be eight units per acre and above. These areas provide buildings that are close to the street, with particular focus on providing a pedestrian-friendly environment. The Downtown Master Plan contains detailed plans and design guidelines for these areas. The areas proposed for residential growth during the planning period include medium density development in the southem portion of the City on what is currentiy some of the last remaining agricultural land, low density development east of Mill Road and north of Revoir Street. and high density and mixed use development at various locations In the City Including the downtown redevelopment area. Commercial Uses The Future Land Use Plan Identifies appropriate locations for commercial uses and Mure development opportunities. There Is one land use category for commercial development (other than the CBD/Mlxed Use category previously described). The City will encourage clustering of commercial development. as opposed to strip developments. In an effort to minimize highway access concerns, to strengthen the viability and marketability of co-located services and to minimize the Impacts on the natural environment of the City.

Downtown Master Plan & Development Guidelines The Downtown Area Master Plan & Development Guidelines propose recommendations that will reinforce and guide public/private Investment In a manner that will strengthen the viability of the area and recommend Downtown Centervllle as a community destination of the highest quality. The Master Plan 15 intended to guide the form and character of development within downtown for the next twanty years. Beginning In the summer of 2005, and approved by the City Council in January of 2006. the master plan includes a set of design guidelines and zoning amendments. The purpose of the Master Plan & Development Guidelines Is to establish an appropriate framework for future redevelopment of downtown as a vibrant Mixed-Use destination. to Incorporate: . An overall vision for redevelopment of the area, Including the pattem, form and character of new development and open space in the Interest of creating a cohesive Traditional Mixed-Use Downtown Mixed-Use neighborhood and downtown area. . A framework of transportation Improvements needed to support the redevelopment of the area and to create appropriate levels of parking as well as vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian access to the downtown. . 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 Integreted efforts to calm traffic, provide a safe pedestrian environment and provide guidelines for buildings that respected the pedestrian scale and encouraged walkablllty. The Metropolitan Council currently classifies Centervllle as a "Developing Community". The Downtown Master Plan specifically addresses some of the requirements that the Met Council asks Developing Communities to fulfill. These Include: . Planning for and guiding Infill development, redevelopment, and adaptive reuse of structures to diversify housing, connect housing to jobs. and Integrata new development into existing neighborhoods. . Increasing Ilfecycle and affordable housing opportunities. Employment According to the Metropolitan Council, the City had 363 jobs in 2000. According to the MnPro Community Profile, most of the major employers in Centerville can be classified as service sector jobs, Including food service. gasoline stations and grocery stores. Infrasource and Northern Forest Products are the two major employers In the City that do not fall into that category. Further employment opportunities are anticipated to include retail, 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.

Metropolitan Council forecasts estimates, April 1, 2005. This table shows that there are approximately 1,295 eXisting housing units In the City according to the Metropolitan Council. The City's Inventory total as of January 2008 Is 1,352 units. In addition to the total amount of units It Is Important to understand housing tenure and amount of owner and rental occupancy. Data from the 2000 Census finds thet the community has a 66.2% owner-occupied and 33.8% rental occupied housing mix. Each new household added to a city requires an additional housing unit and results In Increasing residential land uses. Centervllle presently has a faster growth rate than the county, Increasing by approximately 155 households per year between 1990 and 2005. The city added 558 households in the 1990s. The Met Council forecast shows that Centervllle will be edding an additional 555 households betwaen 2005 and 2030. Since the City has determined that It Is Important to exceed a population of 5,000, the City has adopted land use policies that will Increase the population after full bulld-out. The forecasts for household and population figures based on these new land uses are shown In Table 22 below. The ratio of persons per household In Centervllle Is expected to decline by 2030 due to an aging population and the larger general demographic trend of 64 [DRAFT Parks and Trails City of Centervllle 2030 Comprehensive Plan . Encourage and accept land gifts and forfeitures In areas with potential recreational development opportunities or to provide open green space. . Coordinate regional trail development potential with Anoka County and adjacent communities. There are currently six Improved City parks along with several other open spaces owned by the City as displayed on Figure 5, Parks and Trails Plan. Laurie laMotte Park is locetad southwest of tha old central business district, along the western edge of the City. The park contains a hockey rink, a pleasure skating rink, soccer fields. softball diamonds, and park building. This Is the largest City park at approximately 19.8 acres and Is the primary facility for organized recreation activities In the City. Tracie Joy McBride Park, a neighborhood park, is approximately 4.2 acres, and is loceted at the north end of Shed Avenue. Royal Meadows Park, loceted between Shad Avenue and West Robin Lane, Is another neighborhood park with approximately four acres. Acorn Creek Park, which was recently dedlceted by the City, Is located at 74th Street, and Is three acres in size. Eagle Park Is another small neighborhood park containing a tennis court and playground equipment. The most recent addition to the park system Is Hidden Spring Park; a small park on Centervllle Lake. It features a picnic shelter, charcoal grills, benches, grevel trails several interpretive signs and a unique water feeture which incorporates a natural artesian well. Two small parks have not been developed at this time: Mill Road Park and Cedar Street Park. As the City Is reaching full development the park plan is likewise fairiy established. New residential development will stili occur within the southeast comer of the City and northern portion. These areas will likely see new neighborhood scale parks to meet the needs of these new residents. Prior to development occurring in these areas, the City will work with developers to identify the specific locations best suited to providing the public amenities and recreational facilities needed to serve these areas. Ideally, all residential development should be within a half mile of either a neighborhood or community park. The City's subdivision regulations require the dedication of park land or cash In lieu of land In conjunction with the subdivision of all lands. As indicated above, the City will identify specific sites for needed parks before these areas are developed. When plats are submitted for land containing proposed park sites, the City will require dedication of the sites as a condition of plat approval. If site requirements are greater than the dedication of a particular subdMslon, the City may locate parks where multiple dedications may occur or use dedication funds to acquire additional land. Identified corridors In the City's plan for bicycle/pedestrian trails will also ba dedicated as part of the City's park land dedication requirements. The dedication of land should be based upon net developable land. Wetlands and other unbulldable land may be included in a land dedication, but only In excess or in addition to the minimum developable land requirement. In other subdivisions, the developers will be required to make payments in lieu of land dedication. The City will not accept the dedication of park land in developments where parks are not needed. 76 ""/~, " DRAFT Parks and Trails City of Centervl/le 2030 Comprehanslve Plan .

Highway and Road Plan Functional Classification 80 uu"", DRAFT Transportation City of Cantervllle 2030 Comprehensive Plen Need to ExDend Facilities The City will experience growth In two major areas. The first Is In the small sections of undeveloped land within the City. These development areas do not represent large enough amounts of potential trefflc to tax the local and regional transportation systems. The City also plans to redevelop Its downtown area. This redevelopment proposal was large enough to trigger an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW). The conclusion of the EAW, with regard to transportation Issues, was that the local and regional roadway system could handle the Increased densities In the downtown area with minor modiflcetlons In the Immediate area, such as the addition of tum lanes, etc. It also concluded that the redevelopment was not the primary causa of the need for these Improvements, but rether that It was regional growth. Growth projections are In line with those shown In the System Statement. Potential Safety Issues The City does not anticipate any specific safety Issues within Its jurisdictional roadway system as a result of growth. Policies regarding access management, geometric daslgn and signage anforced by the City on Its existing and planned roadways help maintain a safe local transportation system. A number of sidewalk and trail projects are In the planning or construction phasa In an effort to Increase pedestrian safety. A curb and trail along the aast side of Mill Road will allow separation of pedestrians from this higher volume local roadway. Improvements In the Downtown area are slated to meet the same goal. Tha City has applied for funding through the Safe Routas to School program for the Installation of a grade-saparated pedestrian crossing of CSAH 14 near Clearwater Creek. Access Manaaemenl The City understands that access management for state and county roadways Is under thalr respective jurisdictions. Both MNDOT and Anoka County have their own access managemant policies applicable to each of their roadway systems, raspectlvely. The City maintains Its own policies on access to its local roadway network. These policies are similar to those of the Anoka County and the Stata of Minnesota but ara more appropriately fonned for a local municipal roadway system. Bike and Pedestrian Plan The City maintains pollclas which support the daslgn of safe and afflclent trails throughout the City along existing and developing roadways as well as through off-road corridors. A map of the City's existing and proposed trails is shown in Figure 5. More detailed goals and policies regarding trails can be found In the Parks and Trells section of this plan. The planned redevelopment of the downtown area will have a distinct pedestrian friendly feel, accomplished through streetscaping elements such as boulevard trees, decorative concrete sidewalks and Intersection treatments, on-street parking, decorative pedestrian lighting and other landscape amenities. 82 ua/~/~1 DRAFT Transportation City of Centervllle 2030 Comprehensive Plan electronic Interference.

DRAFT Water Rescources City of Centerville 2030 Comprehensive Plan Surface Water Management Plan The City updated its Surface Water Management Plan in October of 2004. The plan was an update of a previous plan completed in 1997. The City lies within the Jurisdictional boundaries of the Rice Creek Watershed DIstrict. Since the time of this update, severel new or modified requirements have arisen. A summary of the changes to the SWMP submitted with this Comprehensive Plan follows: 2007 New Information The 2004 Centerville Surface Water Menagement Plan (SWMP) Information is stili generally current and should be followed until a new SWMP is prepared pending completion of the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) Water Management Plan (WMP) updates and as required by Minnesota state statute. The majority of the 2030 Met Council Water Resources Managemant Policy Pian requirements for Local Surface Water Management Plan elements are covered in the existing 2004 SWMP. However, a few specific 2008 Issues have baan discovered as a part of this SWMP Amendment process for the 2008 Comprehensive Plan update required by the Met Council. Specifically, the following revisions and additions to the 2004 SWMP should be noted. This list references directly the 2030 Met Council Water Resources Management Policy Plan LSWMP elements. 1. Water resources management related agreements - Centervllle falls entirely within RCWD. This organization is In the process of updating their WMP and rules. The rules are scheduled to be accepted by mid-February of 2008. Completion of the watershed management organization WMP will necessitate an update to the 2004 SWMP. The focus of the RCWD updates are primarily on infiltration. Saction 5.7, page 16 of the City's SWMP discusses the Intent of tha City of Centerville to .continue to support and coordinate with the RCWD on all water resource management issues, and It recognizes the role of the RCWD to continue to administer all water resource permitting and regulation responsibilities". Therefore through reference to the RCWD WMP and rules the City shows its continued commitment to the goal of nondegradatlon and improving water quality for all Its residents. The Minnesota Stormwater Manual, Metropolitan Council's Minnesota Urban Small Sites BMP Manual and RCWD WMP should be referenced for additional alternatives. 2. Integration of SWPPP poliCies and goals - Centervllle Is a Phase II NPDES MS4 permit community and therefore needs to integrate Its SWPPP with the 92 DRAFT Water Rescources City of Centervllfe 2030 Comprehef15ive Plan needed for 1,469 lakes. rivers and streams in the state. Impaired weters within the City of Centervllle include: Clearwater Creek, Centervllle Lake and Peltier Lake. RCWD is In the process of completing a TMDL study for Centervllle Lake. The City emphasizes that it is preparing for TMDL implementation by updating its official controls and continuing to refer to RCWD for administration of water resource permitting and regulation as detailed in the SWMP. It Is the City's intention to work with whoever is the preparer of the TMDL to develop approprlate loadings for the designated water bodies, implament the findings and develop funding strategies once the study Is completed. Clean Water Act Assessments Description: A number of water bodies within the City of Centervllle are listed In the state impaired waters list. Waters that do not currently meet their designated use due to the Impact of a particular pollutant or stressor are placed on this list of Impaired waters otherwise known as the 303(d) list. At some point a strategy would be developed that would lead to attainment of the appliceble water quality standard. The process of developing this strategy Is commonly known as the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) process and Involves the following phases: 1. Assessment and listing 2. TMDL study 3. Implementation plan development 4. Implementation 5. Monitoring of the effectiveness of Implementation efforts Recommendetlon: Responsibility for Implementing the requirements of the federal Clean Water Act falls to the U.S. Envlronmantal Protection Agency (USEPA). In Minnesota the USEPA delegates much of the program responsibility to the state Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Information on the MPCA progrem can be obtained at the following web address: htto:llwww.oca.state.mn.us/water/lmdl/index.hlml. The following Is an excerpt from the MPCA website descrlbing the program and Its need: The Clean Water Act requires states to publish, every two years, an updated list of streams and lakas that are not meeting their designated usas because of excess pollutants. The list, known as the 303(d) list, Is based on violations of water quality standards and is organized by river basin. Environmantal organizations and citizen groups have sued the EPA because states have not made adequate progress to meet Section 303(d) requirements. The EPA has been sued for various reasons. Over the past 10 years, lawsuits have been filed in 42 states and the District of Columbia. Of those, 22 have been successful. There Is currently no such lawsuit In Minnesota. However, beyond the federal requirements, there are many reasons for us to move forward with the development of TMDLs. Foremost is the need to clean up our rlvers, streams and lakes to maximize their contributions to the state's economy and quality of life and to protect them as a resource for Mure generations. 94 DRAFT Water RescOUrc8S CIty of CentelV/lle 2030 Comprehensive Plan Table 30 - MPCA Impalnnent designation thresholds for detennlnlng use support for lakes Ecorealons North Central Hardwood Forest Western Com Belt Plains Impairment Not Listed Review Listed Not Listed Review Listed Designation ranoe ranoe TP ( gill <40 40 - 45 >45 < 70 70-90 > 90 Chlorophyll - <15 N/A >18 <24 N/A >32 ( oILI Secchl disk > 1.2 N/A < 1.1 > 1.0 N/A <0.7 transparencY (m) To be listed on the 303(d) Impaired waters list, by the MPCA, In-lake monitoring data must show that TP and either Chlorophyll - a or Secchi depth were violated. If data show a lake is not meeting the support criteria for anyone of the variables, It may be placed on a review list. The MPCA uses a weight of evidence approach to determine If a lake will be listed as Impaired (MPCA 2005). To be de-listed, the lakes must achieve these criteria. However, there Is provision for goal-setting flexibility. The listing criteria may not be realistically achievable for some lakes, and therefore an altemative goal may be proposed on a site specifiC basis. Additionally, the MPCA has acknowledged that shallow lakes should not be assessed with the same criteria as deep lakes. Shallow lakes are different then deep lakes due to differences in ecological characteristics and Intemel nutrient cycling. The MPCA has deflned shallow lakes es having a maximum depth less than 15 feet, or having greater than BO% surface area as littoral (less than 15 feet deep) surface area. Table 31 shows MPCA's proposed numerical standards for shallow lakes. As of spring 2007, these criteria were scheduled to be reviewed and Included in Minnesota Rule by January 200B.

Evaluate the feasibility of establishing housing and economic development Initiatives at the City level, such as tax Increment financing, or contrecting with the Anoka County HRA for similar services. Economic Development In 2007, Centerville formed and Economic Development Authority (EDA) with all the associated powers and responsibilities including taxing authority. The EDA will work on economic development Issues within the City. Centervllle is also part of the Twin City Community Capital Fund. The Fund is designed to leverage millions of dollars in Revolving Loan Funds (RLFs) and other economic development funds owned and managed by metro area local govemments and development financing organizations. By pooling resources, TCCCF members have the advantage of offering much larger loans than would be possible with limited local resources, greater gap-lending flexibility for financing local development projects, and significantly lower loan r1sk-a1l with the support and servicas of a professional fund manager and experienced loan officars at no cost to Fund members. Plan Amendment Process The Comprehensive Plan is intendad to ba general and flexible; however, formal amendments to the Plan will be required when land use elements, development staging or growth policies are revised. Periodically, the City should undartake a formal review of the plan to determine If amendments are needed to address changing factors or events In the community. While a plan amendment can be initiated at any time, the City should carefully consider the Implications of the proposed changas before their adoption. When considering amendments to this plan, the City will use the following procedure: 1. Amendments may be Initiated by land owners, land developers, the Planning and Zoning Commission or the City Council. 2.
