Project Overview
The City of Burnsville recently completed the Center Village Redevelopment Vision in 2019, which was a study to identify redevelopment opportunities and create a plan for the Burnsville Center Village Area. Following the completion Redevelopment Vision, the City conducted a traffic study in 2020 to understand the transportation improvements needed to support the redevelopment of the Burnsville Center area. This study included analysis on the most congested corridor in the area, County Road 42. As a next step, the City is now preparing an Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) to understand the environmental implications of a future redevelopment of the Burnsville Center area. This step creates the opportunity to anticipate and manage impacts before projects are built and any future development proposals that are in full conformance with the AUAR and mitigation plan will not need to conduct their own environmental reviews.
The AUAR study area encompasses 426 acres, including 77 existing tax parcels located north and south of County Road 42 between County Road 5 and I-35W. The development scenario to be evaluated in the AUAR is described in Table 1 and is based on the proposed land uses from the 2019 Center Village Redevelopment Vision Plan.
