• • Century Farm North, 3/14/11 page 2 ANALYSIS Land Use, Density, Zoning The 2002 Comprehensive Plan is still in effect until the new 2030 plan is adopted by the City Council. The table below identifies the existing land uses, guided land uses, and zoning. Location Existing Land Use Guided Land Use Existing Zoning Site partially platted, unbuilt Medium Density Resid. PUD (mixed resid.) North sod farm Rural Rural South single family resid. Medium Density Resid. PUD (mixed resid.) East multi - family resid. Medium Density Resid. PUD (mixed resid.) West rural residential Medium Density Resid., Rural, and City of Blaine PUD (mixed resid.) and Rural The following is a summary of the of the acreages of proposal: Previous 4th Addn. units (Lots 1 -5, Block 2) 0.79 acres Previous 4`h Addn. Outlot A 10.81 acres Previous 4th Addn. Outlot B + 5.53 acres Gross Site Area for amendments 17.13 acres Outlot B will become dedicated parkland Total dwelling units in amendment area 26 (no change from 2003 approval) The Medium Density land use category allows for 3 -6 units per acre. The complete Century Farm North project approved in 2003 includes a total of 249 dwelling units upon 64 net acres of land, resulting in a net density of 3.89 units per acre. The units are not evenly distributed across the site: there are 123 single detached units and 126 units in multiple -unit structures. The proposed amendments to the PUD will not change the number of dwelling units in the amendment area (26), so the proposal is consistent with the land use approved in 2003. The site was rezoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) in 2003. The approving ordinance required that development shall conform with the approved plans, which included a preliminary plat that established the lots and housing types for the PUD. Because the 2003 PUD rezoning ordinance referred specifically to the plans, amending the plans is considered an amendment of the PUD zoning. However, the zoning of the site will remain PUD. Growth Management Policy: The 2003 approval included a staging plan. The total of 249 units were broken down into an annual number of units that could be final platted in years 2003 -2007. Since we now are beyond year 2007, the remaining units can be final platted at any time. No additional units would be added with the current proposal.
