• STAFF ORIGINATOR: C. C. MEETING DATE: TOPIC: AGENDA ITEM 7 D Jeff Smyser January 12, 2004 Resolution 04 -01 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Conditional Use Permit/Planned Unit Development and Development Stage Plan: Marshan Townhomes 2nd Addition Hokanson Development, Inc. VOTE: 4/5 on comprehensive plan amendment 3/5 on CUP/PUD /preliminary plat BACKGROUND Hokanson Development has submitted a request for a comprehensive plan amendment, a residential planned unit development/conditional use permit, and development stage plan (preliminary plat). The subject site is four acres of property at the northeast corner of Lake Drive and Aqua Lane, adjacent to the existing Marshan Lake Condominiums. The request is to change the land use category from Medium Density Residential to High Density Residential, and to plat the site as a planned unit development (PUD). A residential PUD requires only a conditional use permit under the 2003 ordinance, rather than a rezoning as before. This is the same site discussed previously when a comprehensive plan amendment was considered. The P & Z recommended denial of that application in August. The City Council then discussed it at a work session on October 22nd and indicated that they would not support it. The applicant subsequently withdrew that application. A question did arise at the work session about whether or not a PUD could accommodate a higher density than the Medium Density category allows (3 -6 units /acre). The PUD requirements are in Section 2, Subd. 10 of the zoning ordinance. The ordinance requires that a PUD comply with the density in the comprehensive plan. ANALYSIS The following is a summary of the of the proposal: Gross Site Area 4.05 Upland Area 4.05 Total Units 46 acres Gross Density 11.36 units /acre acres Net Density 11.36 units /acre
