1) (CITY FILE 20-017)
WHEREAS, U.S. Home Corporation (dba Lennar) ("the applicant") has requested approval to
rezone 273.57 acres legally described as follows:
See Attachment A
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request at a duly called Public Hearing
and recommends approval, and;
WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted an ordinance rezoning the affected parcels from Urban
Reserve (UR) to Planned Unit Development (PUD);
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CORCRAN, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does support the request of U.S. Home
O
Corporation for the reclassification of the property, based on the following findings and
conditions:
1. The planned unifi development is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. The
proposed pre -development net density is 2.85 units per acre, when the post -
development area is calculated
expected in the Low Density Re
we expect it will be within the 3-5 units per acre
sidential land use classification. The plan incorporates
the trail, park and street connections anticipated within the site and preserves significant
portions of the existing nafiural resources on site.
2. The planned development of 549 homes is consistent with the intent of the RSF-3 and
RME-1 districts and the Comprehensive Plan goals to provide a variety of housing
options.. The applicant is requesting approval of PUD zoning for design flexibility to allow
for modification to the architectural standards, provide a mix of lot sizes and reduced
setbacks for this neighborhood at a density consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. 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 and off -site street improvements, a new neighborhood park
and trunk infrastructure improvements that will serve a larger development area.
4. The planned development is feasible without dependence upon any other subsequent
phase. The project has an 8-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

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 consistent with the City's
Comprehensive Plan and a new City park. 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 residential neighborhood developed consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and, therefore, will not have an undue and adverse impact on the
reasonable enjoyment of the neighborhood property.
7. The quality of the site design proposed by the PUD shall enhance the aesthetics of the
site, install and provide streets, utilities and public facilities that may not otherwise be
installed 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, a park and quality architecture.
