7 <br />The 2040 Comprehensive Plan density requirements are more restrictive and shall be <br />applied. <br /> <br />Staff Comments: <br /> <br />1. The applicant’s submittal does not appear to subtract out the 4.1 acres of <br />commercial development. <br />2. Wetland buffers will also need to be subtracted which will change net density. <br />3. Net acreage will be re-calculated based on post-development during the <br />preliminary plat process. <br />4. A Density Map that coincides with the Density Chart shall be created that clearly <br />shows what areas are being netted out from the gross. <br />5. Does this project meet the housing goals to justify allowing for the 15 units per <br />acre Signature Gateway bonus? <br />a. Should the density bonus be required as affordable housing? <br /> <br />Growth Management Strategy <br /> <br />Page 3-17 of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan details the City’s Growth Management <br />Strategy. The strategy works in conjunction with the City’s utility staging plan. <br /> <br />The City will plan to accommodate an annual average of 230 units per year over each 5- <br />year phasing period not to exceed 345 units in any one year. From 2010 to 2023, the <br />City’s average annual number of units is 118. This is less the allowed 230 unit annual <br />allocation. <br /> <br />With existing projects underway the project may need to be phased over multiple years <br />to meeting growth management requirements. <br /> <br />Current Zoning and Land Use <br /> <br />Current Zoning R, Rural <br />Current Land Use Agricultural <br />Future Land Use per <br />2040 Comp Plan <br />Medium Density, High Density, and <br />Signature Gateway <br />Utility Staging Area Stage 1A (2018-2025) <br />Stage 1B (2025-2030) <br /> <br />Rezoning <br /> <br />The property is currently zoned R, Rural.
