Elk Elk River Comp ehensive Plan <br />River <br />Relationship between the 2013 Existing Land Use and <br />2004 Land Use Plan <br />The 2013 Comprehensive Plan Update utilizes the 2004 Comprehensive Plan as its <br />foundation and builds off of the amendments that have occurred since then. Although <br />there are some differences in future land use guidance as shown in Figure 5 -2, the 2013 <br />Plan takes all planning efforts (e.g. Mississippi Connections, FAST Study, and several <br />transportation planning efforts) and integrates them into this document for ease of use. <br />Table 5 -A: Summary of Future Land Use - 2040 <br />Existing Land Use <br />Gross <br />Acres* <br />Wetland <br />Acres <br />Net Acres* <br />Net <br />Percent <br />of City <br />Agricultural Research <br />826.41 <br />208.28 <br />618.13 <br />2.7% <br />Commercial Reserve <br />2,651.57 <br />57.49 <br />2,594.07 <br />8.8% <br />Highway Business <br />532.30 <br />32.96 <br />499.34 <br />1.8% <br />FAST <br />986.31 <br />166.49 <br />819.82 <br />3.3% <br />High Density Residential <br />94.47 <br />23.88 <br />70.59 <br />0.3% <br />Landfill <br />132.03 <br />0.75 <br />131.28 <br />0.4% <br />Industrial <br />938.27 <br />81.17 <br />857.10 <br />3.1% <br />Mining <br />2,651.57 <br />57.49 <br />2,594.07 <br />8.8% <br />Mixed Use <br />196.82 <br />2.17 <br />194.65 <br />0.7% <br />Mississippi Connection <br />463.70 <br />5.11 <br />458.59 <br />1.5% <br />Open Space <br />2,560.26 <br />509.81 <br />2,050.46 <br />8.5% <br />PubliclSemi Public <br />577.14 <br />28.18 <br />548.95 <br />1.9% <br />Residential <br />17,265.40 <br />4,030.73 <br />13,234.67 <br />57.1% <br />Water <br />357.38 <br />326.39 <br />30.99 <br />1.2% <br />TOTAL <br />24,702.73 <br />5,530.90 <br />19,171.83 <br />100% <br />Source: WSB & Associates, Inc. <br />Land Use Plan <br />The land use plan provides the <br />framework or "road map" for the <br />growth and development of the City. <br />The land use plan serves as a guide <br />for the character and intensity of <br />development and will be supported <br />by other land use controls and <br />public actions taken pursuant to the <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br />The land use map appears in Figure <br />5 -2: Future Land Use. The Plan builds <br />on the existing community pattern <br />to achieve the desired vision for the <br />future of Elk River. <br />Chapter 5: Land Use / 35 <br />
