4 <br />East R-1, Single Family Residential Low Density <br />Sewered Residential <br />South R-1, Single Family Residential Low Density <br />Sewered Residential <br />West R-1, Single Family Residential Low Density <br />Sewered Residential <br /> <br />ANALYSIS <br /> <br />Density and Land Area Calculations <br /> <br />The following chart implements Met Council’s formula for calculating net density. <br /> <br />Gross Area (acres) 1.11 <br />Wetlands & Water Bodies 0.00 <br />Public Parks & Open Space 0.00 <br />Arterial ROW 0.00 <br />Other 0.00 <br />Net Area (acres) 1.11 <br /># of Units 4 <br />Gross Density (units/acre) 3.60 <br />Net Density (units/acre) 3.60 <br /> <br />Per the current 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the lot is guided low density residential <br />development and allows for 1.6 to 3.0 units per net acre. The proposed net density of <br />3.60 units per acre is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The total number of <br />lots will need to be reduced to three (3) to bring the density down to 2.70 upa. This <br />would be similar to the recently approved Jansen Addition at 523 Lois Lane. <br /> <br />Staff understands the previously mentioned Isabell Estates and Golden Acre subdivisions <br />were allowed four (4) lots; however, they were under the 2030 Comprehensive Plan- <br />Land use density requirements of 1.6 to 3.9 units per acres. The current 2040 <br />Comprehensive Plan requires 1.6 to 3.0 units per net acre and that requirement shall be <br />met. A variance is not allowed for comprehensive plan land use densities. A <br />comprehensive plan amendment would also not be allowed because the R-1 zoning <br />district is only applicable to land guided low density residential. Rezoning would not be <br />allowed because it would be an illegal spot zoning.
