STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser C. C. MEETING DATE: March 14, 2011 TOPIC: VOTE: BACKGROUND Century Farm North i.

Resolution No. 11 -27 (final plat) 3/5 iii. Ordinance No. 06 -11 (easement vacation) 4/5 The Century Farm North residential development is a planned unit development (PUD) in northwest Lino Lakes that the City approved in 2003. It includes a mix of housing styles: typical single family lots; single family airpark lot with hangars; detached townhomes (individual house lots located within a commonly owned yard lot); and attached townhomes. The preliminary plat for the overall project was approved in 2003. Four final plats have been approved, each including a phase of the overall project. Most of the development has been final platted, but some has not. The phase that was most recently final platted is the 4th Addition. Many of the detached townhome sites there remain unbuilt. The land there is owned by the builder, Sharper Homes. The area of the overall development that is not final platted is owned by the developer: Century Farm North Development. Sharper and Century Farms North Development want to amend several unbuilt lots in the 4th Addn. as well as some of the remaining area of the preliminary plat. They want to convert detached townhome lots to individual single family home lots. This is due to a changing market. This proposal will require an amendment to the preliminary plat, which included the entire Century Farm North development. A PUD is a special zoning district, so amending a PUD is technically a zoning amendment, just like amending a part of the zoning ordinance. The proposed zoning amendment is defined by the new Development Stage Plan /Preliminary Plat. The application also includes a new final plat that would include four Lots already final platted as well as one of the lots in the amended preliminary plat. An existing drainage and utility easement will need to be vacated by the City Council. • This proposal does not add any dwelling units to the number originally approved in 2003. Nor does it change the area of land for each dwelling unit. • • 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. • • Century Farm North, 3/14/11 page 3 Amending PUD Zoning and PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat: Ordinance No. 07 -11 The Century Farm North preliminary plat, approved in 2003, includes the entire development of 249 units, roads, parkland, etc. Each final plat has included a portion of the larger development and has complied with the staging plan. The 4`h Addition was the last final plat to be approved. Block 2 of the 4th Addn. included 42 dwelling units. Some were in multi - family townhome structures, others were individual detached townhomes. A detached townhome is a single family home located on its own parcel, but that parcel includes only the structure and its immediate surrounding land (sidewalk, patio). The surrounding lawn is in a separate lot owned in common by an association consisting of numerous townhome owners. The association maintains the common lot. New Preliminary Plat: The proposal is to amend the original Century Farm North preliminary plat. The amendment includes the following: • Lots 1 -5, Block 2 of the 4th Addn. final plat —the four detached townhome lots and common lot —will become four single family lots with no common lot. • A fifth detached townhome lot in the original preliminary plat will be become a single family lot (and be included in the 5`h Addition final plat). • Eleven detached townhome lots and their common lots in the preliminary plat area to the west will become single family lots, which have not yet been final platted. They will be final platted in the future. The new preliminary plat shows additional detached townhomes as originally approved in 2003. It is possible these could change in the future, but this would require a new approval action by the City. PUD Final Plan/Final Plat, Century Farm North 5th Addition: Resolution No. 11 -27 The final plat is the document that is recorded, thereby actually creating the parcels that are designed by the preliminary plat. The proposed new final plat includes the following: • Lots 1 -5, Block 1, 5th Addition will be created. • A "PARK" parcel will be created and it will be dedicated to the City. This dedicates most of the remaining park and open space land for the overall neighborhood. • Outlot A (of the 5th Addn.) includes a stormwater pond, which has already been constructed, and the area where more dwelling units are planned. • As with any plat, lot line easements are created by the plat. • • Century Farm North, 3/14/11 page 4 Watershed District Permit Status: The Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) permit must be current before the City can approve a final plat. The RCWD reviewed the lot revisions and approved the permit amendment on February 23. Title Review: Title information has been reviewed and approved by the city attorney. This includes a title commitment as well as consents to plat and releases from several lenders. Pond Parcel in 3rd Addition: To the east of Block 2, 4th Addition, there is a stormwater pond that is in Outlot B of the 3rd Addition. This pond parcel should be dedicated to the City. A deed for this parcel has been submitted. Easement Vacation: Ordinance No. 06 -11 An existing drainage and utility easement covers all of existing Lot 5, Block 2 of the 4th Addition. This will not be needed once the lot line easements are created by the new 5th Addn. final plat. The existing easement should be vacated to allow full use of the new lots.

In 2003 the City Council approved a rezoning to create the Century Farm North Planned Unit Development (PUD) with Ordinance No. 12 -03. The ordinance required that development shall conform with plans listed in Resolution 03 -60, which included a preliminary plat that established the lots and housing types for the PUD. 2. The current property owners have requested amending the previously approved plan as shown on a plan titled "Preliminary Plat Amendment ", dated 12 -15 -10 and submitted to the City on December 16, 2010. Because the PUD rezoning ordinance referred specifically to the plans, amending the plans is considered an amendment of the PUD zoning. 3. The amendment includes changing lots from detached townhomes to single family lots. 4. The City Council makes the following findings regarding the application for amending the Century Farm North PUD zoning, based on the factors listed in Section 2, Subd.lE of the Lino Lakes zoning ordinance: 1. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive Plan. The site is guided for low and medium density residential uses, the original approval was consistent with those uses, and the amendment does not change the uses. 2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area. The site is guided for low and medium density residential uses. Existing and anticipated future land uses in the area are considered compatible with the proposed amendment. 3. The proposed use will conform with all performance standards contained in the zoning ordinance and other requirements, as determined by review of the application. • 4. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the City's service capacity. Adequate utilities are currently available on the site, and the proposed amendment will be consistent with the design of the utilities. 5. Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property in conjunction with the public improvements already installed or proposed.
