This dataset corrects mapping errors in the MRCCA boundary used in the MRCCA Districts dataset. The boundary used in the MRCCA Districts dataset did not always accurately follow section lines and road centerlines existing at the time of designation. The MRCCA Districts dataset will be updated with the updated MRCCA boundary after LGU feedback is received and the MRCCA boundary dataset is finalized. </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN /><SPAN /><SPAN><SPAN>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. </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN /><SPAN /><SPAN><SPAN>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. </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN /><SPAN /><SPAN><SPAN>Rules regulating the MRCCA were published on December 27, 2016 and became effective January 4, 2017. The rules establish six districts, each with dimensional standards for river and bluff setbacks, and building height. </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Purpose: This data was created to be a stand-alone MRCCA boundary and to replace the outer boundary used in the 6/28/17 “MRCCA Districts” dataset. The boundary used in this dataset contained mapping errors, it did not always accurately follow section lines and road centerlines existing at the time of designation. The MRRCA boundary data corrects these errors and thus better represents the legal description published in the State Register, volume 3, pages 1681 to 1691.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Time Period of Content Date: 07/24/2018</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Currentness Reference: This data is current as of July 24, 2018 and is rarely changed. </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Progress: Complete</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Maintenance and Update Frequency: None Planned</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Spatial Extent of Data: Twin Cities Metro Region – Mississippi River from Crow River to confluence with St. Croix River.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Bounding Coordinates: 459006.3</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN /><SPAN><SPAN>521210.4</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN /><SPAN><SPAN>5010695.4</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN /><SPAN><SPAN>4945014.7</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Place Keywords: Mississippi River, Twin Cities Metro Area</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Theme Keywords: Hydrography, Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area, MRCCA, boundary</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Theme Keyword Thesaurus: River, critical area, scenic resources, water resources.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Access Constraints: None</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Use Constraints: The delineated boundary lines are intended to follow the legally described boundary as published in the State Register, volume 3, pages 1681 to 1691. </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Contact Person Information: Kathleen Metzker, Land Use Hydrologist</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN /><SPAN><SPAN>Minnesota DNR - Ecological and Water Resources</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN /><SPAN><SPAN>500 Lafayette Rd</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN /><SPAN><SPAN>Saint Paul, MN 55155</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN /><SPAN><SPAN>Phone: 651-259-5694</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN /><SPAN><SPAN>Email: </SPAN></SPAN><A href="mailto:Kathleen.Metzker@state.mn.us"><SPAN><SPAN>Kathleen.Metzker@state.mn.us</SPAN></SPAN></A></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Browse Graphic: None available </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Associated Data Sets: MRCCA Districts</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-weight:bold;font-size:24ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Section 2: Data Quality </SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-size:16ptmargin:7 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Attribute Accuracy: The legal description was mapped by a team of DNR surveyors, GIS professionals and program managers who concurrently reviewed the legal description (as published in the State Register, volume 3, pages 1681 to 1691) and data attributes multiple times.
