2 <br />value was being gained, open space, 50ft lot widths and lot size, and garage size. Council <br />asked for locations of other developments the applicant has done. <br /> <br />At the September 6, 2022 Work Session, the City Council reviewed the 21 unit concept <br />plan again. Staff had no additional comments from the July Planning & Zoning Board <br />staff report or the August 1, 2022 Work Session staff report. Staff’s concern regarding <br />road alignment and vehicle turning movements still had not been addressed. Council <br />comments included density and providing minimum PUD flexibility. <br /> <br />At the October 3, 2022 Work Session, the City Council reviewed a 17 unit concept plan <br />dated September 25, 2022. The plan included an HOA courtyard area with community <br />gardens. In general Council supported the revised plan; however, roadway radius and size <br />was still a concern. Staff’s concern regarding road alignment and vehicle turning <br />movements still had not been addressed. <br /> <br />After the October Work Session, staff and applicant met to discuss the road alignment <br />issues. The applicant has submitted two (2) revised concept plans that have appropriate <br />road alignments. Unfortunately, these plans do not meet density requirements, include a <br />private drive cul de sac, and lose the centrally located courtyard amenity. PUD flexibility <br />would still be needed for lot sizes, lot widths, side setbacks, and architectural standards. <br /> <br />The applicant is requesting the density requirement be lowered. This requires a formal <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the Land Use Plan and City and Met Council <br />approval. <br /> <br />Staff is asking the Planning & Zoning Board and Council if there is support for the <br />following before the applicant submits a formal land use application for a comprehensive <br />plan amendment and PUD Preliminary Plan/Preliminary Plat: <br /> <br />1. Rezoning to PUD, Planned Unit Development <br />2. Amending the Comprehensive Plan to lower the density <br /> <br />At the February 8, 2023 Planning & Zoning Board meeting, the Board reviewed a 15 unit <br />concept plan dated January 23, 2023. The Board supported the PUD rezoning and <br />Comprehensive Plan amendment to lower the density to Low Density Mixed Residential <br />(3.0-4.0 units per net acre). <br /> <br />Rezoning to PUD, Planned Unit Development <br /> <br />When the first PUD Concept Plan was submitted in June 2022, the property was zoned R- <br />1, Single Family Residential. With the recent zoning ordinance amendment that went <br />into effect on January 5, 2023, the property is now zoned R-3, Medium Density <br />Residential to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan-Land Use guidance of medium <br />density residential. The property would need to be rezoned to PUD, Planned Unit <br />Development in order to allow for a variety of lot sizes, lot widths, and architectural <br />standards as proposed in the concept plan.
