<br />. A map titled" Trend Development 1999-2020" was also produced to graphically depict where these <br />development projects would potentially take place. <br /> <br />Projected Growth of Trend Employment: <br />. A table was then created which calculated employment in the City over the twenty year period. <br />The 1997 MN Dept of Economic Security figure was used as the base for the employment number. <br />To this base was added the number of employees associated with a build out of current or <br />proposed 1999 projects. The total number of projected employment was calculated by multiplying <br />the area of the parcels by the number of employees with a certain percentage of building coverage <br />for the Future Land Use assigned to a parcel. This total amount was then divided equally by <br />twenty and added cumulatively to each year from 2000-2020. <br />For example: <br />Business /Retail. equivalent to future land use designation of B (Business) <br />400 sq. it per employee with 30% building coverage <br />Office - equivalent to future land use designation of B (Business) <br />248 sq. it per employee with 100% building coverage. <br />(note that Business/retail and Office land use categories are each given an equal split of the vacant <br />developable land designated with Future land Use of B) <br />Light industrial/flex - equivalent to future land use designation of I (Industrial) <br />450 sq. it per employee with 30% building coverage <br />. The table provides a breakdown of the projected employment by F AZ and by the type of <br />commercial/industrial land use. <br /> <br />. The map titled" Trend Development 1999-2020" graphically depicts where these development <br />projects would potentially take place. <br /> <br />2. Concentrated Development <br /> <br />. City staff reviewed the City Existing Land Use Map for reference and identified what types of <br />redevelopments may be undertaken over the next 20 years. There was no distinction made for <br />land which is currently used and land which is vacant and developable. <br />. Each redevelopment site was identified as being either an office, light industrial/flex or a retail <br />project. In addition, the following data was assigned to each site: <br />a) estimate of the current number of jobs where there is currently activity at a site <br />b) estimated year for development at a site. <br />. Concentrated Development was examined in two parts as above in the Trend Scenario; First, the <br />projected growth in residential units from 2000-2020, and secondly, the projected growth of <br />employment over the same time period. In both cases, the underlying Future Land Use assigned to <br />each parcel of vacant developable land was used to formulate the number ofresidential units that <br />each parcel could support or the number of new jobs. <br />. Each parcel in the GIS base was placed into one of three Fiscal Analysis Zones (F AZ) as in the <br />Trend Scenario operation. <br /> <br />Projected Growth of Concentrated Residential Units: <br />. A table was created which calculated the number of units in the City over the twenty year period. <br />The process used for the Concentrated Development Scenario was identical to that used for the <br /> <br />3 <br />
