• • Behm's Farm Park Addition page 3 2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area. The land use and zoning table shows that the proposed rezoning complies with these first two factors. The site and surroundings is guided for single family and park uses. Land immediately surrounding the new lots is already developed with single family homes. Most of the current park will remain park The park acts as a buffer for the larger lot, unsewered homes to the west and south. 3. The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained herein. The proposal meets the zoning and platting requirements contained in City ordinances. 4. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the City's service capacity. Existing utilities can handle the nine new lots. 5. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property. The existing roads can easily handle traffic from the nine new homes. Staff recommends finding that the project complies with the above factors. MUSA Policies As noted above, most of the site is within the area approved for the use of some MUSA reserve. The lower portion is not. However, only 0.5± acres is outside the approved area. Because this appears to be an oversight of the past, staff feels comfortable with this. In addition, most of the area approved for MUSA will remain as City parkland. The City's MUSA reserve can be allocated within approved areas at the City's discretion. Currently, the City has 29.2 acres in the reserve. This project would need 2.55 acres of MUSA reserve. Interim MUSA Reserve Criteria: The City has criteria for the allocation of the MUSA reserve. Application of Interim MUSA Reserve shall be subject to the following: 1. An application for MUSA Reserve shall be considered at time of Preliminary Plat approval and allocated at time of Final Plat following completion of a development agreement and posting of financial guarantees. • The request for MUSA is occurring concurrently with preliminary plat application.
