The City of Corcoran updated the Northeast District Plan and Design Guidelines with a planning grant from Hennepin County. Landform staff, City staff and Hennepin County met throughout the process to review expectations, deliverables and specifically the County road street connections.
Landform facilitated an online survey and two open houses to gather feedback from residents and landowners. As a result of the meetings with the County and landowners, we created a new master plan for the Northeast District.
Key elements include:
- Identification of parks, trails and plazas
- A walkable destinations map
- Updated landscaping and screening requirements
- Gateway signage standards
- Architectural standards – styles, placement, massing, height, etc.
- Parking location and design standards
- Utility installation standards
- Strategies for sustainability, resiliency and preservation of natural resources, such as encouraging the use of green infrastructure for stormwater management
