2018 Visioning Update FinalThe City of Albertville previously undertook a Visioning Study as
Comprehensive Planning Process. The City periodically reviews th Vision
Study to be sure that it accurately reflect the goals of the City an
Council. The key issues and priorities are reexamined and reevaluated to see
whether they have been effectively addressed or to identify on -going work
that still requires attention.
This update includes an examination of the long-range land use plan to
determine if any changes are needed to reflect current market conditions,
development inquiries or local land use needs. The current plan established
in 1996 and amended in 2008, 2012, 2014 establishes land use patterns that
recognizes that Albertville serves extraterritorial areas beyond its boundaries
due to freeway interchanges within the city. In examining the Vision Study,
Staff has identify the land use patterns of the adjoining communities to aid in
the review of the Albertville Vision Plan.

Because of the presence of two 1-94 access points, Albertville is in a position to serve
as a commercial hub for its own residents as well as for portions of surrounding
communities such as Saint Michael and Otsego. Capitalizing on commuters who travel
through Albertville is an opportunity for the city to consider.
• The extraterritorial areas expand Albertville's market reach.
• The development of these extraterritorial areas impact Albertville's land use
planning.
• Albertville has business intercept advantages towards commercially serving the
extraterritorial area due to traffic patterns and commuter convenience.
• The following maps identify the extraterritorial areas in which commuters live, who
likely will use CR 19, 1-94, or CR 37 to travel between work and home.
• This section outlines the extraterritorial areas of impact, and also provides a
forecast for new housing assets for Albertville based on the Proposed Land Use
map from the 2030 Comprehensive Plan.

Consideration of the larger planning areas raises the following questions for
the Council.
• With the limited amount of vacant land in the city does the current
proposed land use plan represent the Council's vision for the community?
• Is the council open to land use changes? Converting guided commercial
land to alternative land uses?
• What is the Council's position on medium and high density multiple family
housing as a future land use?
