3 <br /> <br />Density calculations for the purpose of meeting Met Council and the City’s 2040 <br />Comprehensive Plan requirements are based on net acres. The entire development’s net <br />acreage is 3.01 acres. The required density range would be 2.56 to 4.19 units per net acre <br />which equates to 7.70 to 12.6 housing units. <br /> <br />The applicant is proposing 9 housing units (8 new housing units plus 1 existing house). <br />This equates to 2.99 units per net acre (9 units/3.01 acres = 2.99 upa). This is consistent <br />with the density range. <br /> <br />Staff Comment: <br /> <br />1. Additional wetland buffers and arterial road right-of-way dedication will affect <br />the net acres and net density. <br /> <br />Rezoning <br /> <br />The property is currently zoned R, Rural and is guided for both medium and low density <br />residential land use. Per the City’s zoning ordinance, land that is guided medium density <br />can be zoned R-2 or R-3. Low density residential can be zoned R-1, Single Family <br />Residential, R-1X, Single Family Executive Residential or R-2, Two Family Residential. <br /> <br />The property may also be rezoned to PUD, Planned Unit Development. <br /> <br />Staff Comment: <br /> <br />1. The applicant would need to provide additional public benefit in order to be <br />considered for PUD zoning. Examples could be wetland restoration, additional <br />wetland buffers, higher architectural & building standards etc. <br /> <br />Zoning and Land Use <br /> <br />Current Zoning R, Rural <br />Current Land Use Rural Residential <br />Future Land Use per <br />2040 Comp Plan <br />Low Density Residential (1.6 to 3.0 upa) <br />Medium Density Residential (4.0 to 6.0 upa) <br />Utility Staging Area Stage 1A (2018-2025) <br /> <br />Zoning Requirements and Standards <br /> <br />R-1 Single Family zoning would be proposed for the 2.5 acre east portion of the site. The <br />existing single family lot is 165 ft wide which lends itself to possible R-1 subdivision of <br />80 ft wide lots vs R-1X that requires 90 ft wide lots. The 2.5 acre lot exceeds R-1 lot size <br />(10,800 sf) and lot width (80ft) requirements. <br /> <br />R-3, Medium Density Residential zoning would be proposed for the 1.5 acre west portion <br />of the site. The R-3 zoning district allows two family dwellings and townhomes up to 8
