Internal circulation for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles is a priority for the Downtown Lakes Mixed Use Area. Consideration should be given to eliminating Auditors Road as a through street to improve the pedestrian environment, though some type of appropriate circulation should be maintained through the site to support any commercial tenants. Developing plazas, streetscape, and/or other public amenities that connect uses to the harbor, Dakota Rail Trail, and the Village Center is important.

Mixed Use Area: eden SHORELINE DR CYPRESS LN EDEN RD HIDDENVALE LN MAYWOOD RD As in previous Comprehensive Plans, Eden is identified as a mixed use area to recognize the existing land use pattern and to provide flexibility for redevelopment. To better reflect changing demographic and market trends, however, it is anticipated with this plan that the area will transition from a predominantly commercial area to a predominantly residential area over time. Commercial that does remain is anticipated to be located along the major transportation corridors of Shoreline Drive and Wilshire Boulevard Residential development should transition in density and intensity, with the most dense, multifamily uses, along Shoreline Drive. As you move away from Shoreline Drive, townhomes become the predominant use, with the potential for even single family homes adjacent to Shirley Hills Elementary.

Mixed Use Area: Promenade MARION LN AUDITORS RD SHORELINE BLVD COMMERCE BLVD Located along Lost Lake and Lake Langdon, the Promenade offers a beautiful setting for all types of land uses. The area is guided mixed use to provide use and site development flexibility in recognition of the narrowness of the properties and the likely impacts from wetlands and floodplain. While some commercial will remain in the district, it is anticipated that redevelopment will likely be more residential, including single family detached, townhomes and multifamily. BARTLETT BLVD As the connector between Downtown and Surfside Park, the Promenade should support visitors and residents who travel through the area on foot or bicycle. Streetscape should include elements like sidewalks/trails, lighting and benches. It is also important that building orientations allow views to the lakes.

The area has historically been a neighborhood commercial node that offered retail, services, and employment. Given market trends, it is anticipated that over time commercial services may seek to cluster around the intersection of Shoreline and Commerce rather than on community edges like in East Gateway. To provide flexibility for property owners, East Gateway is being guided mixed use so medium density residential products such as townhomes can be incorporated in future developments.

in Developing Mixed Use Development Character All Mixed Use areas within Mound will be encouraged to incorporate elements which create character and support a pedestrian-oriented environment. While each Mixed Use area is distinct, there are common elements that are important to consider. The City will explore, as a follow-up to the Comprehensive Plan, identify how these design elements could be addressed through guidelines and/or regulations. Building Placement and Linkages Along major corridors buildings should be placed close to the street with adjacent buildings having similar setbacks. Residential structures with individual entries should be setback from roadways to provide for a front yard area. A minimum amount of street frontage along major corridors should be occupied by building facades to provide a frame to the street and minimize long stretches of parking. Street-facing entries are encouraged along major roadways and should be architecturally prominent and accessible from the street. Rear entries should be well-defined if there is rear-yard parking. Plazas and pockets of connected open space should be created to provide informal gathering areas. Pedestrian connections should be made to Dakota Rail Trail, Andrews Sisters Trail, Surfside Park, the transit ramp, and the Village Center. Views and connections through developments to the lakes and to the downtown core should be preserved. Building Design Multi-story buildings are encouraged to support redevelopment and to allow for additional for open space. Heights are generally expected to be multiple stories along major roadway corridors. Buildings with floors more than 3 stories should have upper stories step back from the street to provide an improved pedestrian experience on the sidewalk. Buildings should step down in height adjacent to residential neighborhoods and the lakefront. Long facades should be divided into smaller increments by architectural elements, including variation in building materials, shift in facade depth, etc. Multi story buildings should have ground floor elements that appeal to the pedestrian like awnings, windows, etc. Commercial and mixed use buildings should be built similarly close to the street Public plazas and pockets of open spaces should be linked through sidewalks/trails Facade articulation through multiple materials and setbacks creates visual interest Residential structures with individual entries should be setback from major roadways Entries should be architecturally predominant with accesses along major streets Higher floors have greater setbacks, decreasing bulk Ground floor elements like awning, and windows important for multi-story buildings
Facades have windows and doors at pedestrian level Bulkheads and other accents should include brick or stone Pedestrian and cyclist connections to features of the center city Landscaping within and around development makes for pleasant movement throughout Pitched roofs with dormers and cupolas replicate Mound s historical character Building Materials and Roofs Street facing facades should include wood lap siding A minimum amount of the building facade along the major roadway should be windows and doors. Wood lap siding, or comprarable products, should be used. Bulkheads may have wood, brick, stone, or precast products Roofs recommended to have architecturally interesting compound hip and gable roofs with dormers, cupolas, etc. Public areas have the opportunity for multiple functions Parking and Landscaping Parking should be screened and interior to the site Where possible, parking should be located to the rear or side of buildings rather than in front. Shared parking is encouraged between complementary land uses Structured parking with entrances on side streets encouraged Interconnected circulation within sites or blocks encouraged Screening with hedges, low walls, or decorative fencing should be used to separate parking and service areas from streets. Minimize large expanses of parking through use of parking islands and creating smaller, scattered parking
