CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 1F STAFF ORIGINATOR:Katie Larsen MEETING DATE:September 9, 2013 TOPIC:Consideration of Resolution No. 13-95 Extension of Time for Moon Marsh VOTE REQUIRED:3/5 INTRODUCTION In 2007 the City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit and Planned Unit Development (PUD) Development Stage Plan for the Moon Marsh project with Resolution No. 07-142.The site has not been developed, but the owner is still interested in pursuing the project. BACKGROUND The Zoning Ordinance requires that aPUD Development Stage Planbe followed by the PUD Final Plan application within twelve months under the zoning ordinance. Likewise, a final plat must be submitted within one year of the preliminary plat approval under the subdivision regulations. For a conditional use permit (CUP), construction must begin within one year of approval. The project did not meet these deadlines due to the widespread slowdown in development in the region, and the City has granted several extensions. The current submittal deadline for the PUD Final Plan/Final Plat is October1, 2013and the recommendation is to extend itto April 1, 2014. The Moon Marsh site includes a high value natural resource area. Permanent open space is to be created within the site that willbe placed in a permanent conservation easement.The preservation of open space on this site will be a step in the implementation of the City’s larger greenway vision, a foundation of the Comprehensive Plan. RECOMMENDATION Approve Resolution No. 13-95granting an extension of time for submittal of the PUD Final Plan/Final Plat and for construction to begin under the Conditional Use Permitfor Moon Marsh.
