LA -4 areas will have the greatest potential for transit service. These areas should also have good pedestrian access to complement the transit services. LA -4 neighborhoods should have easy access to jobs, shopping opportunities and open spaces, such as major parks or natural areas.

Types of Development: Development Location Criteria: Two-family dwellings Multiple -family dwellings (townhomes and apartments) Churches, schools and private recreational facilities Abuts or has reasonably direct access to arterials Near large parks or permanent open space (city park, community playfield, special use park, school recreation facility, conservation area, etc.) Near neighborhood shopping facilities Close proximity to jobs Desirable Facilities: Neighborhood parks, school parks or mini parks within 1/2 mile walking distance of the neighborhood Trail system connecting the area to other services and facilities, including parks, schools, churches and shopping areas Transit within ''/z mile walking distance of the neighborhood Page 3 rp) City of Plymouth Adding Quality to Life SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING April 7, 2015 Agenda Number: To: Dave Callister, City Manager From: Barbara Thomson, Planning Manager Date: April 2, 2015 Item: Use of Nature Canyon Park for a Concrete Batch Plant The general contractor for the upgrade of 1-494 has requested use of Nature Canyon Park to establish a concrete batch plant. Nature Canyon Park is zoned P-1, public institutional. The P-1 district allows essential services as a permitted use (refer to attached excerpt). The zoning ordinance defines essential services (refer to attachment) to include a variety of transmission, distribution, collection, supply or disposal systems operated by private or public utilities. The definition does not include uses such as a concrete batch plant. I have also attached the zoning ordinance definition of heavy industry. A concrete batch plant would be covered by that definition. The zoning ordinance only allows heavy industry in the 1-3, heavy industrial district (refer to attachments). Attachments: Definition of Essential Services Permitted Uses in the P-1 District Definition of Heavy Industry Permitted Uses in the 1-3 District Page 1 Essential Services: The erection, construction, alteration or maintenance by private or public utilities, or municipal departments of underground or overhead telephone, gas, electrical, steam, hot water, waste, or water transmission, distribution, collection, supply or disposal systems, including poles, wires, mains, drains, sewers, pipes, conduits, cables, fire alarm boxes, police call boxes, traffic signals, hydrants and other similar equipment and accessories in connection therewith for the furnishing of adequate service by such private or public utilities or municipal departments.

The update will focus on the potential development of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor on Highway 55. The Scope of the study is high-level at this time — intended to provide basic context and comparative scoping between a number of potential BRT corridors within the metro area for use in advocacy efforts with the Minnesota Legislature. At this time, neither the Metropolitan Council nor MnDOT has identified funding to complete any BRT project. The study determined that the Highway 55 Corridor was the lowest alternative of the top five in the study. That said, there are some components of the Highway 55 Corridor that may make the project rise in prominence, which will be discussed further by the Metropolitan Council. The most prominent benefit of this corridor is reverse commute potential. Because the study was deliberately high-level, there are a number of unresolved or unaddressed questions. Planning and Land Use The Metropolitan Council's Housing and Transportation Plans have indicated a desire for higher densities around transitways. If the Metropolitan Council selected the Highway 55 Corridor for BRT, would the City be required to reguide property along the corridor to encourage this type of development? Operation of the Plymouth Metrolink Who is the intended user of BRT in Plymouth? How is the intended user underserved today? What assurances does the City have that express service will not be impacted by BRT? If express service is adversely impacted by BRT, what measures can be taken to ensure Plymouth Metrolink's continued relevance as a service provider? If BRT uses City facilities (primarily Station 73), how does BRT affect Plymouth Metrolink's market share of riders? The study calls for 15 and 30 minute headways. Who will be responsible for providing the necessary circulator services to compliment the headways? Capital Investment If BRT is extended through Highway 55, who is responsible for land acquisitions for stations, site redevelopment, and on-going maintenance costs? The eventual build -out of a BRT line along Highway 55 will require a significant investment in pedestrian features. What is the general scope necessary to accommodate BRT station siting? Who funds these improvements? Advocacy If the primary users are non -Plymouth residents (reverse commuters), what is the City's role in corridor advocacy and funding? What is the importance of reverse community to Plymouth's businesses and their continued growth. Initial scoping plans call for a station on the western edge of the city to accommodate, in part, riders from Medina. What is Medina's role in advocating and funding these system enhancements?
