Title
Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA) Boundary [Minnesota]
Description
This dataset delineates the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA) boundary as legally described in the State Register, volume 43. The MRCCA is a land corridor along the Mississippi River in the seven-county metro area in which special land use regulations guide development activity. The corridor extends 72 miles along the Mississippi River from the cities of Ramsey and Dayton in the north to the City of Hastings and Ravenna Township in the south. It includes 54,000 acres of land along both sides of the river. The State of Minnesota created the corridor and land use regulations in 1976. Local governments administer the regulations through their local plans and zoning ordinances. The MRCCA is home to a full range of residential neighborhoods and parks, as well as river-related commerce, industry, and transportation. Though the MRCCA has been extensively developed, many intact and remnant natural areas remain, including bluffs, islands, floodplains, wetlands, riparian zones, and native aquatic and terrestrial flora and fauna. , This data was created to be a stand-alone MRCCA boundary. The MRRCA boundary data represents the legal description published in the State Register, volume 43., This data is current as of October 2018 and is rarely changed.
