1. A comprehensive plan amendment would be required to re -guide the urban reserve lot <br />to low density residential. <br />2. The comprehensive plan amendment would need to demonstrate that overall City wide <br />density meets the minimum 3.0 units per acre. <br />Per the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the site is in Planning District 3. There are no specific <br />planning goals or issues that need to be addressed for this site. <br />Density <br />The following chart is a preliminary density analysis using Met Council's density formula: <br />Gross Area (acres) <br />59.32 <br />Wetlands & Water Bodies <br />(28.06) <br />Public Parks & Open Space <br />0.00 <br />Arterial ROW <br />(2.14) <br />Other (Utility Transmission Easement) <br />0.00 <br />Other (Wetland Buffer Area) <br />(5.78) <br />Net Area (acres) <br />23.34 <br /># of Units <br />58 <br />Gross Density (units/acre) <br />0.98 <br />Net Density (units/acre) <br />2.49 <br />As noted above, the site consists of two (2) land use designations, low density residential and <br />urban reserve. A comprehensive plan amendment would be required to change the urban <br />reserve lot to low density. This density analysis is based on the assumption the plan is amended <br />to low density which is consistent with the full build -land use plan. Low density residential <br />development requires 1.6 to 3.0 units per acres. The proposed development would be 2.49 <br />units per acre which is consistent with land use and density requirements. <br />Growth Management Strategy <br />
