VI. Land Use <br /> <br />The last quarterly report included information about the City of Anoka's plans for <br />Transit Oriented Development (TOD) near the Anoka Station. The City continues <br />to acquire property in the station area, especially current commercial and industrial <br />property, as it becomes available to assemble a large parcel of interest to potential <br />developers. <br /> <br />Also, the last quarterly report contained some infonuation on two efforts looking at <br />future development around, and community connections to, the Multi-modal station <br />serving the Northstar Corridor commuter rail and the Hiawatha Corridor LRT. <br />Hennepin County Transit and Community Works has just released the final <br />Downtown Minneapolis Multi-Modal Station Area Master Plan. The City of <br />Minneapolis has held both of its planned public meetings for the Downtown <br />East/North Loop Master Plan. A draft report will be prepared in the near future. <br /> <br />The City of Rice considered two methods of preparing for commuter rail in their <br />city: a development moratorium in the station area and a TOD overlay ordinance. <br />The City Council chose and passed the TOD overlay ordinance on March 4, 2002, <br />and passed it on to their Planning Commission. The Planning Commission has set a <br />hearing for the ordinance. <br /> <br />VII.
