A RESOLUTION ORDERING AN ALTERNATIVE URBAN AREAWIDE REVIEW (AUAR) FOR THE
GLADSTONE AREA REDEVELOPMENT PLAN LOCATED IN THE CITY OF MAPLEWOOD
WHEREAS, in December of 2004, the City of Maplewood initiated a redevelopment planning
process for the Gladstone area generally defined as the area along Frost Avenue between US Highway
61 and Hazelwood Street N and the area along English Street between Ripley Avenue and the
Gateway Trail further described in the attached Exhibit A; and,
WHEREAS, the City has an approved Comprehensive Plan that establishes future land use
patterns in the Gladstone area consisting of open space, single and double dwelling residential, light

demonstrate signs of obsolescence, inefficient land use and site layout, dilapidation and deterioration
and other signs of a need for revitalization; and,
WHEREAS, the City is aware of a number of properties within the project area that are likely to
redevelop in the near future and the desired development patterns are not likely to be consistent with
the current Comprehensive Plan; and,
WHEREAS, the master planning effort is intended to result in a plan that establishes a vision
and future land use plan to guide redevelopment efforts on an areawide basis as opposed to reacting to
individual redevelopment proposals; and,
WHEREAS, the master planning effort has resulted in a concept that explores higher density
housing development on redeveloped parcels within the project area and limited neighborhood
commercial uses; and,
WHEREAS, the development concept is supported by a range of public improvements to area
park and open space systems, roadway improvements, streetscape enhancements, burial of overhead
utility lines, and stormwater management systems; and,
WHEREAS, an environmental review is necessary to evaluate the cumulative impacts of
potential development within the Gladstone Area on the neighborhood and the community; and
WHEREAS, an Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) is a substitute form of
environmental review that replaces an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) or Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) as provided for in Minnesota Rules Chapter 4410.3600 and is a more
City Council 08-08-OS 12
appropriate form of environmental review that evaluates cumulative impacts resulting from multiple re-
development projects spread over a larger area; and,
WHEREAS, the City of Maplewood is the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) assigned the
responsibility of conducting the AUAR; and,
WHEREAS, Minnesota Rule 4410.3610 (AUAR Process) Subpart 3 requires an "order for
review" to define the review area boundaries and the "anticipated nature, location and intensity" of
projected future development; and,
WHEREAS, over the last two years the City has conducted a number of public meetings to
discuss and evaluate various redevelopment concepts as presented by private developers,
neighborhood groups and interested landowners; and,
WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Plan and the Master Plan will serve as the basis for the
development of the AUAR.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the City Council of the City of Maplewood, County of
Ramsey, State of Minnesota, adopts this Order for Review authorizing utilization of an Alternative
Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) pursuant to Minnesota Rules 4410.3610 for the purpose of conducting
an environmental review and analysis of redevelopment impacts in the Gladstone Area.
