Pheasant Stroll Estates page 2 • The site is guided for Medium Density Residential land use and is within the Stage 1 (pre -2010) growth area. The site is not within the current MUSA. The table above identifies the existing land use and zoning as well as guided land uses for the area. • • The following is a summary of the of the proposal: Gross Site Area 10.0 acres Upland Area 8.2 acres to be confirmed Total Units 28 Gross Density 2.8 units /acre Net Density 3.4 to be confirmed Zoning: A rezoning to R -3 requires that the site be guided for Medium Density, which it is, and which requires 3 -6 units per acre. There is a significant area of wetland on the site, which is to be subtracted from the net area. This would raise the density above the 2.8 u/a because net density uses only upland. The MUSA reserve is allocated based on the amount of upland as well. Growth Management: The City's growth management policy (Ordinance 24 -04) implements growth policies of the comprehensive plan. It establishes limits on the number of new units to be approved as well on the use of MUSA reserve. We have nine lots left for year 2006, which means this project could not be final platted until 2007. We have 82 lots left for 2007. The site is not within the MUSA and would require 8.2 acres. We have 25.5 acres of MUSA reserve available for year 2006 and 6.8 acres for 2007. If the year 2006 acres are not used, they carry over to following years.
