Redevelopment - City of Crystal

educed in size because much of the rest of the previously-identified area has either been redeveloped
for assisted living or townhouses, or has been acquired by the city for park land. Area #20‟s current uses
are three single family houses and one vacant EDA lot. It is guided for medium density residential as a
way of making it feasible for a private developer to acquire the properties and redevelop the area
without financial assistance.
Area #21 - Excess MnDOT property from the Highway 100 project. This area is a slight
enlargement of a potential redevelopment area in the current Comprehensive Plan. The property consists
of parcels on both sides of the freeway. If all parcels are redeveloped as guided, the estimated yield
would be:
• 6 single family houses on scattered site lots
• South of 32 nd Avenue, 12 units of low density townhomes on a new private drive, or 8 single family
houses on a new public street
• Between 32 nd Avenue and the Crystal Care Center, up to 12 units of medium density housing
• At the northwest quadrant of the 36 th Avenue interchange, a small neighborhood commercial site
• At the southeast quadrant of the 36 th Avenue interchange, a landlocked general commercial site
accessible only through the Cub Foods property
Area #22 - 36 th & Noble. This small area is anchored by former supermarket that has been converted
into a thrift store with some smaller tenants. The redevelopment potential is based on the amount of land
relative to the existing building on the former supermarket site, and is dependent on what happens with
the current uses over the long term. If it is redeveloped, it would probably be a difficult site for most
retailers but might support some. The most feasible redevelopment might involve medium or high
density residential above small-scale ground floor retail/office.
