• <br />Behm's Farm Park Addition <br />February 12, 2001 <br />page 3 <br />1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and <br />provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City <br />Comprehensive Plan. <br />2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the <br />area. <br />The land use and zoning table shows that the proposed rezoning complies with these <br />first two factors. The site and surroundings is guided for single family and park uses. <br />Land immediately surrounding the new lots is already developed with single family <br />homes.

The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained herein. <br />The proposal meets the zoning and platting requirements contained in City <br />ordinances. <br />4.

Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the <br />property. <br />The nine new homes will not cause negative impacts on the existing roads. <br />Staff recommends finding that the project complies with the above factors. <br />MUSA Policies <br />As noted above, most of the site is within the area approved for the use of some MUSA <br />reserve. The lower portion is not. However, only 0.5± acres is outside the approved area. <br />Because this appears to be an oversight of the past, staff feels comfortable with this. In <br />addition, most of the area approved for MUSA will remain as City parkland. <br />The City's MUSA reserve can be allocated within approved areas at the City's discretion. <br />Currently, the City has 29.2 acres in the reserve. This project would need 2.55 acres of <br />MUSA reserve. <br />• Interim MUSA Reserve Criteria: The City has criteria for the allocation of the MUSA <br />reserve. Application of Interim MUSA Reserve shall be subject to the following: <br />
