City Council Meeting <br />January 2, 2024 Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br />The residential land use shown on the development master plan will be developed in a future phase. <br />Those lots are shown on the preliminary plat to be outlots which will be platted when market <br />conditions allow per the Applicant’s narrative. <br />Site Data. <br />Site area could vary slightly based on requirements for Right Of Way from Washington County, <br />or the City of Lake Elmo. Right of Way within the development is counted within the <br />Residential (VMDR) area for the purposes of calculating density. <br /> <br />Total Site Area 23.19 acres <br />Right-of-Way (R/W) 3.88 acres <br />Commercial (C) Area 7.0 acres <br />Residential (VMDR) area 16.19 acres <br />Wetlands None identified on site <br /> <br />Land Use(s): A high level review of the requests against adopted City plans and policies is <br />below. A review of the site against applicable subdivision and zoning design and performance <br />standards also follows. <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment <br />The City’s future land use map guides the subject property for Village Medium Density <br />Residential (VMDR) and Commercial (C). The Applicant is proposing land uses which are <br />consistent with those categories. Presently, a total of 17.67 acres are guided for Village Medium <br />Density Residential (VMDR), and a total of 6.46 acres are currently guided for Commercial (C). <br />As proposed, the Applicant’s request would result in a VMDR area of 16.19 acres, and a <br />Commercial area of 7.0 acres. The minor changes in the land area between the future land use <br />categories are due mostly to public right-of-way dedication and .54 acres being converted from <br />VMDR to C. <br />The proposal keeps the same approximate areas of the property guided for the same future land <br />uses. As such, the Comp Plan Amendment will reflect the built conditions of the property which <br />are consistent with the community’s vision and development goals. <br />Staff note that the development density of the VMDR area will be a minimum of 2.5 dwelling <br />units per acre and maximum of 8 dwelling units per acre. With no known undevelopable areas, <br />the net acreage of the VMDR area will be 16.19 acres. This will result in a minimum of 40 <br />dwelling units and a maximum of 130 dwelling units. The concept plan shows 96 residential <br />units, which is within the allowable density range for this site. Density will ultimately be <br />reviewed for conformance at the time the VMDR area outlots are developed. <br />Rezoning
