A RESOLUTION DENYING FINDINGS OF FACT FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE
TEXT OF TITLE IX (SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE) AND TITLE X (ZONING ORDINANCE) OF
THE CORCORAN CITY CODE TO ALLOW URBAN CONSERVATION SUBDIVISIONS
(CITY FILE 21-011)
WHEREAS, the City Council has initiated an amendment to create an urban conservation
subdivision to incentivize developers to preserve open space in the Metropolitan Urban Service
Area (MUSA); and
WHEREAS, the City Council discussed the option at a developer roundtable on August 26,
2021 to gather input from the development community; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request at a duly called Public Hearing,
and,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CORCORAN, MINNESOTA, that it does approve an amendment to Title IX (Subdivision
Ordinance) and Title X (Zoning Ordinance) of the City Code, based on the following findings:
1. The proposed amendment would be consistent with State law and the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
2. The subdivision process is similar to the Open Space And Preservation (OS&P) Plat
process that the City adopted to preserve open space in rural areas.
3. The amendment provides an alternative to the Planned Unit Development process.
4. The amendment would allow development to meet the City's density goals in the
Comprehensive Plan.
5. The amendment provides developers with added flexibility in designing plats and
incentives to voluntarily protect, preserve, enhance or restore open space and natural
resources on their property.
6. The amendment includes conditions to ensure that the development would be
compatible with adjacent uses.
