forecasted growth Council policy requires some measure of employment -bearing land use intensity. The City provides impervious surface and building coverage rates in table 5.4. The Council requires 2 02 0, 2030, and 2040 forecasts assigned transport analysis zones, or portions of TAZs within the city boundaries. This is found in table 6.4; TAZ allocations summarize to the city total. Chapter 7 includes a discussion of sewer -serviced forecast and an accompanying table (table 7.5) consistent with the CaunciI's System Statement. Advisory Commenis Employment in Gem Lake has not grown as was previously projected; local employers have reduced their employment. Council staff advise that the City could request a lower employment forecast with afuture amendment, if desired. The forecast of sewer -serviced households and employment ( Plan table 7.5) shows 110 households, 280 population, and worksites with 150 employees remain outside of the wastewater system (and utilizing SSTS) throughautthe forecast period. The sewer -serviced forecast can be adjusted in a future amendment if the City expects more households to transition to public sewer service. Thrive MSP 2040 and Land Use Reviewer: Jake Reilly, CD — Local Planning Assistance (651-602-1822) The Plan is consistent with Thrive MSP 2040 (Thrive) and its land use policies. The Plan acknowledges the Thrive community designation of Suburban (Figure 2). Thrive describes Suburban communities as those that experienced their primary era of development during the 1980s and early 19 90 s as Baby Boomers formed families and entered their prune earning years. Suburban communities are expected to plan for forecasted population and household growth at overall average densities of at least five units per acre, and target opportunities for mare intensive development near regional transit investments at densities and in a manner articulated in the TPP. Plans are also required to identify areas for redevelopment, particularly areas that are well -served by transportation options and nearby amenities and that contribute to better proximity between jobs and housing. The existing pattern of development in Gem Lake is one of primarily single-family homes, nearly 90-percent of which are owner -occupied. A small portion of the City known as " Hof fman's Corner" located in and around the U.S. Highway 61 /County Road E intersection is the business center of the City. The City envisions this area in the Pian for redevelopment as a mixed -use area with an approximately 50150 residentiallcomrnercial mix, in four mixed -use land use categories, as shown on Table 2.
