FILE 20-0471
WHEREAS, Beth Hustad of Trek Development Inc. ("fihe applicanfi") has requested approval to
rezone 27.31 acres legally described as follows:
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request at a duly called Public Hearing
and recommends denial, and;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CORCORAN, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does deny the request for a rezoning,
based on the following findings:
1. The planned unit development is in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed
pre -development net density is 5.3 units per acre. The property should be within the 8-10
units per acre expected in the Mixed Residential land use classification.
2. The planned development of a 102-unit senior living cooperative, 20 single family
residential villa lots, a 127987 square foot child care and early education facility and a
20,781 square foot assisted living and memory care facility is consistent with the intent
of the RMF-2 district and the Comprehensive Plan goals to provide a variety of housing
options. However, the applicant is seeking extensive flexibility from the Zoning
Ordinance standards which results in an overcrowding of the site, due to taller buildings,
increased impervious surface coverage and reduced setbacks.
3. The development is in conflict with other applicable provisions of the zoning ordinance,
the developer is seeking a large number of PUD flexibilities as discussed in the staff
report. The benefits to the PUD do not balance with the PUD flexibilities being granted
and the overall project is not of higher quality than what would be allowed through
normal zoning standards.
4. The planned development is feasible without dependence upon any othersubsequent
phase. The project could be completed in a single phase.
5. The planned development will not create an excessive burden on parks, schools, streets
and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the planned
development. The developer is providing public trails and sidewalks along with some
private trails. The development includes the construction of all public infrastructure
needed to serve this site at the developer's expense.
6. The planned development is a mixed residential development developed and such use
is not, in and of itself, inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan but with the given

magnitude of the proposed buildings and the proximity to adjacent residential uses, it will
have an undue and adverse impact on the reasonable enjoyment of the neighboring
properties.
7. While the uses provided within the development are desirable for the community, the
overall site design and quality of the development do not create a project that is superior
to what could be achieved through adherence to the primary zoning regulations.
Additionally, it has not been sufficiently demonstrated how the aesthetics of the site have
been substantially enhanced to justify departure from the primary zoning regulations.
FURTHER, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CORCORAN, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does deny the request for a pre
plat based on the finding that the minimum lot size and side yard setback requirements
