This small area plan is an opportunity to guide the future of the Lincoln and Londonderry area. The project's primary objective is to develop a comprehensive vision that will serve as a guiding framework for future development and infrastructure decisions within the targeted area near Lincoln Drive and Londonderry Road. This Case for Action video provides an overview of the project, existing conditions, and opportunities to enhance the area, which have been identified during the first round of engagement.



Draft Plan Now Available

The draft of the Lincoln and Londonderry Small Area Plan is now available for review and public comment. The plan may be accessed under the "Documents" section on this page. The plan focuses recommendations on six community priorities (in no particular order):

  1. Character of Housing and Development
  2. Economic Development and Local Business
  3. Community Gathering Spaces
  4. Green Space and Environmental Stewardship
  5. Getting Around Safely
  6. Community Involvement and Visionary Planning

The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on March 12 to consider recommending to the City Council that the Plan be submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review as an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan. The City Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing on April 16 and take action on this item on May 6. All meetings will start at 7pm and take place in the Council Chambers at City Hall (4801 West 50th Street). Minor changes to the Comprehensive Plan document are required to be consistent with this small area plan for Lincoln and Londonderry.

    Apologies for this.  We noticed this as well and were unable to fix it within the survey tool; however, on the project page, we have posted a link under "Documents" to a PDF called "Workshop #2 Photo Survey Reference".  You can use this document to zoom in on the images. Hope that helps. Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Why re-development? What’s needed?

    JMH777 asked 11 months ago

    Apologies for the delayed response.  I did not see your question.  

    Redevelopment is driven primarily by market forces.   Property owners may choose to sell their property and the new owner may desire to use the property in a way that is different than it is being used today.  Having a plan helps the city respond to those requests from land owners.  The plan itself does not cause redevelopment to occur.  By doing this plan, we may hear from the community that there is a strong desire for more neighborhood businesses, like a bakery or small restaurant.  This type of feedback might result in a recommendation to rezone certain property that would allow for those types of uses.
