Cyphers Logistic Park AUAR 21 March 2022 Residential and is zoned Rural Area Development (RAD) and Public Facilities on the approximately 7.4 acres of land that includes the City’s public work facilities. Scenario 4 assumes the continuation of this land use pattern and would permit the development of the existing agricultural land into approximately 10 r ural residential lots. If development occurs consistent with Scenario 4, the City will require the extension of municipal water to these properties due to the known PFAS groundwater contamination in the area. Scenario 4 is not desirable due to the costs associated with the infrastructure needed to develop the area north of 34th Street N , but it is consistent with the adopted comprehensive plan. c. Identify measures incorporated into the proposed project to mitigate any potential incompatibility as discussed in Item 9b above. As mentioned in Item 9b, Scenarios 1, 2, and 3 include a residential buffer along the northern and eastern perimeter of the study area north of 34th Street N to transition between residential and Business Park uses. Development of this area will be required to demonstrate appropriate transitions between the uses , includ ing where and how roadways are connected throughout the AUAR s tudy area, where open space, vegetation, and stormwater management features can be used to protect existing neighborhoods from the more intense development patterns contemplated in Scenarios 1, 2, and 3. Additionally, given the known PFAS groundwater contamination in the area , it is important for any new development to be hooked up to and served by municipal water. To serve this area efficiently and cost-effectively, a more intense and urbanized development pattern will help to mitigate the significant costs associated with the infrastructure. Re-guiding and rezoning the AUAR s tudy area is another mitigative strategy as it will require public hearings and other formal land use applications that will provide opportunities for neighbors to express their concerns, and for the City and potential developers to respond to potential adverse impacts.
