A portion is within the corporate limits and a portion within the Orderly Annexation Area. The approximate boundaries include: • South of CSAH 2 • East of CR121 • Northwest of Foxmore Hollow Subdivision and the St. Joseph cemetery • North of Walz's Hilltop Acres • East of Interstate 94. Total Acres in District: 443 acres in this District. Number of Acres Platted: 147 have been subdivided, 296 have not been platted. Portion of District `Developed' Number of Acres with Potential Development Considerations: 416 acres have potential considerations for development (shoreland, public water, and cultural resource). Areas of Stability and Areas of Change: Areas of stability and areas of change have been identified within this district. Portions of the district adjacent to CSAH 2 have been identified as areas of change, primarily due to previous development interest as demonstrated concept plan submittals from property owners. A second area of change was identified for lots abutting Minnesota Street in the `downtown' as defined in downtown redevelopment efforts. The majority of the district has been identified as an area of stability. Prominent Features Prominent features within Planning District Four include the College of St. Benedict campus, St. Benedict's Monastery, Lake Sarah, the proposed "Gateway Commons" development, and a large land area determined to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Existing Land Use Existing land uses primarily include agricultural, educational (private), and ecclesiastical uses. Proposed Future Land Use Portions of this district have been identified as `areas of change'. Future investment, public and private, is expected within this district during the scope of this plan. The substantial portion of non - subdivided area within this district has been determined to be eligible for listing within the National Register of Historic Places. A second substantial portion of this district includes area developed by the College of St. Benedict or the St. Benedict's Monastery. The College of St. Benedict has conducted master planning efforts, the results of which are illustrated in Figure 4.1 on the following page. The master planning efforts are acknowledged here but have not been reviewed for consistency with this plan, land use, or subdivision standards. A final portion of this district is guided toward future commercial and /or commercial /high density residential (R -3, R -4) development. The location of this property adjacent to 1 -94 and CSAH 2 make future land use planning extremely important. The city has an excellent opportunity to provide for substantial `gateway' commercial and high density residential development within this portion of this district. Future development patterns will respect the mobility function of 1 -94 and CSAH 2; therefore, the development of future collector streets is imperative. Commercial and /or high value industrial nodes will be afforded excellent access from collector streets. Commercial and mixed commercial high density residential 2008 City of St. Joseph Comprehensive Plan Chapter 4, Page 32 LAND USE development will be clustered around meaningful intersections with collector streets. Nodal development will provide for urban development as cohesive entities capable of creating and sustaining the 'gateway' nature of the interchange. The 'gateway' nature will be defined by inclusion and /or incorporation of public gathering spaces, open space preservation, court- FIGURE 4.1 yards, similar design COLLEGE OF ST. BENEDICT MASTER PLAN principals, and uniform landscaping in future developments. To provide for prudent �- timing and cost - savings, t _ the EDA supports the proactive participation in providing municipal utility services to this area and development of collector streets in conjunction with the county acquisition of right -of -way and actual construction of CSAH 2. This means the city would work with property owners to proactively initiate any improvements however, the city would be reimbursed over -time by development fees. A lengthy corridor study determining the need for an extension of an east - west southern collector street through this district has been the subject of substantial discussion. The study is on -going at this time. The goal of this plan is not to revisit this issue, re -open previous discussion, and /or recite information previously presented; rather, the goal of this plan is to acknowledge activities in the past, embrace current status, and reflect results of previous efforts. .. ...wl�rn•v.. � �cA1Mf11ccORt � �etrc�uu�se�iur+ b.1: c.,o�tK[rrrrl�rrrt�c � >�emavrtu- �cnnwawwrusen � rwlraauau�u.awgvcl _ 1�A17pt7! •— iMOKRtp Rl7fl14AV MtU Ip �. &C*W.r :.aa..rt M64" __ rwromDAaiatnc rrrim 2008 City of St. Joseph Comprehensive Plan Chapter 4, Page 33
