RESOLUTION NO. 2018-47
1. Approval of the rezoning in contingent upon Metropolitan Council review of the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment approved by the City on April 26, 2018.
2. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and
provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan,
including public facilities and capital improvement plans. Rezoning to a PUD will allow
the property to be developed while maintaining the natural features of the site.
3. The proposed action meets the purpose and intent of this Ordinance or, in the case of a
map amendment, it meets the purpose and intent of the individual district and of the
PUD District, which allows the City to grant flexibility for setbacks, lot size and other
elements of the Zoning Ordinance in exchange for a higher quality development.
4. There is adequate infrastructure available to serve the proposed action. Future public
improvements are planned and the developer will be responsible for paying for
improvements in accordance with development agreement.
5. There is an adequate buffer or transition provided between potentially incompatible
districts. The surrounding districts are compatible with the single-family development.
Furthermore, landscaping planned around the perimeter of the site will provide additional
buffering.
6. The development is not in conflict with other applicable provisions of the zoning
ordinance, except that PUD flexibility is requested as noted in the staff report. In
exchange for this flexibility, the developer will provide both internal infrastructure needed
to support their development, roadway improvements on Stieg Road, and trunk
infrastructure improvements that will serve a larger development area and well as
increased amenities and better neighborhood design than might be expected in a
standard subdivision.
7. The planned development is feasible without dependence upon any other subsequent
phase. The project has a 4- to 5-year phasing plan and development is contingent upon
completion of trunk infrastructure improvements and water service. The initial phase will
include the construction of the primary project infrastructure, roadway improvements on
County Road 101 and other key public infrastructure improvement.
8. The quality of the site design proposed by the PUD shall substantially enhance the
aesthetics of the site, install and provide more efficient use of streets, utilities and public
facilities than may otherwise be expected and create public benefit that is greater than
would otherwise be achieved due to the construction and financing of all related
infrastructure improvements. The development will meet the City's density goals while
preserving high quality natural resources, providing trails, amenities and high-quality
architecture.
