NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS INC. PLANNING REPORT TO: FROM: Little Canada Mayor and City Council Little Canada Planning Commission Anne Bronken /David Licht DATE: 17 March 1983 RE: Little Canada - Schrier Planned Unit Development Concept Plan MAR 31 1983 CITY OF LITTLE CANADA FILE NO: 758.09 - 83.09 BACKGROUND A concept plan has been submitted for the development of an 18 acre site front- ing on County Road C and adjacent to Round Lake (see Site Location Map, attached). The proposal includes varying types of residential units (see Exhibit B, attached). The property is zoned R -1, Single Family, and R -3, High Density Residential (see Exhibit C, attached). It is surrounded by the following zoning and land uses: North East South West Zoning Land Use R -1 Round Lake R -1 Vacant R -1 Vacant and Single Family Residential R -1 Single Family Residential The purpose of the following report is to determine the general acceptability of the proposal concept, and to comment on items requiring further considera- tion if the concept is developed. ISSUES AND ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan. In the text of the Comprehensive Plan regarding Planning District 16, in which the subject site is located, the appropriateness of the high density residential zoning is questioned. It goes on to state that low to medium density using the PUD method may be more appropriate in this area, but that the area should be studied further. The zoning plan proposed by the Comprehensive Plan suggests that the site develop under a PUD zoning designation (rather than a PUD conditional use permit). Zoning. The single family homes are a permitted use in the R -1 District. The proposed two family structure is a conditinal use requiring a permit. 4820 minnetonka boulevard, suite 420 minneapolis, mn 55416 612/925-9420
