Development of the site is made more challenging by access issues, environmental protection efforts, and density requirements established by the Metropolitan Council. The City is currently working with a consulting firm to rewrite its planned-unit development ordinance and to articulate a set of public values to guide negotiations with developers who seek to develop under this ordinance. A graduate student in urban and regional planning provided an analysis of various development alternatives for the Lake Minnetonka site using CommunityViz to help the city visualize the results of emphasizing certain public values over others on this parcel.enCommunity Growth Options (U-CGO)Community Growth Planning Assistance Center (CGPAC)CommunityVizDevelopment ScenariosGeographic Information Systems (GIS)Land UseLocal GovernmentsPlanningReport
