City Council Meeting November 19, 2024 Page 2 PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: Overall Plat Summary: Gross Site Area - Total 14.143 acres Wetland Area 0.0 acres Arterial ROW 0.0 acres Lot 1, Block 1 10.8 acres Lot 2, Block 1 1.9 acres ROW 1.4 acres Net Site Area - Total 14.143 acres Proposed Units 190 Net Density 13.43 units/acre The calculation of net density in this case does not allow for netting out any area of the parcel and is therefore the ratio of proposed units to total site area. City staff reached out to the Met Council on this net density interpretation and found it is consistent with the Metropolitan Council’s policy for calculating net density. Comprehensive Plan and Density: The proposed project contains both multifamily and commercial land uses. This is consistent with those allowed in the Mixed-Use Commercial (MU- C) future land use category. The proposed density, 13.43 units/acre is within the allowed range of 10-15 units per acre. It is noted that the density breakdown presented in this report is different than prior staff reports on this project. The project has the same number of units (190), configuration of lots, and area (14.143 acres) as was previously approved by the City. However, the net development density has been calculated differently. The City previously used only the area of Lot 1 plus the ROW dedication for the purposes of net density calculation (12.197 net acres or 15.58 units per acre). However, for the purposes of calculating density, city staff have confirmed with the met council that the City can use the entire project’s area. Because Lot 2 is not residential, but part of the same plat and phase, the project is compliant with the Comprehensive Plan’s maximum of 15 units per acre for this property. Final Plat Conformance The revised final plat is modified to conform with previous conditions of approval and is consistent with the City’s preliminary plat and PUD approval. A review of the conditions of approval from the Preliminary Plat and PUD are provided in this report. PUD Background: The City review process back in 2022 included a Preliminary PUD request and review of the plans at the Planning Commission (with an associated public hearing) on 5/23/22, and again on 6/13/22. A preliminary plat and PUD were approved by Council on 8/16/22. Despite the City Council Final Plat and PUD approval that took place on 11/1/22 (a resolution was adopted, with no changes documented in meeting minutes, which approved the
