6. The proposed site is currently zoned Rural Residential. The 1979 <br />Future Land Use designation was for General Rural Use prior to 1990, <br />with Highway Commercial after 1990. The 1986 Future Land Use <br />designation is Agricultural. The project is located outside of the <br />Metropolitan Urban Services Area. <br />7. The applicant has requested rezoning to "mixed use/unique purpose <br />Planned Unit Development". The first stage of a Planned Unit <br />Development review is the Concept Plan. The City may not review or <br />act upon the rezoning, subdivision or related requests before concept <br />plan approval is given. <br />8. Stages II and III are anticipated to contain buildings and uses <br />intended to serve freeway traffic rather than local residents or <br />communities. <br />9. A staff review dated February 2, 1987 of the project's consistency <br />with the 1986 Comprehensive Plan of Lake Elmo and a staff review dated <br />March 16, 1987 of the project's consistency with the 1979 <br />Comprehensive Plan of Lake Elmo, both of which are incorporated herein <br />by reference, indicate that the Erickson Planned Unit Development is a <br />freeway oriented, urban scale development that is not consistent with <br />the 1979 Comprehensive Plan nor the 1986 Comprehensive Plan, nor the <br />goals or policies of either of these Plans. <br />10. At a meeting held on February 9, 1987, the Lake Elmo Planning <br />Commission recommended on a 9-0 vote, that the Lake Elmo City Council <br />deny this Planned Unit Development application. <br />11. The Metropolitan Council has expressed in a letter dated March 10, <br />1987 concerns that the Erickson Planned Unit Development proposal <br />would be inconsistent with its 1986 Metropolitan Development and <br />Investment Framework in that non-residential development in the rural <br />service area is appropriate only in rural centers (such as the old <br />village area), and that the Metropolitan Council would give a negative <br />review to an amendment to allow a non-residential development in Lake <br />Elmo's rural service area if it were outside the old village. <br />Now, therefore, be it resolved that for the above findings of <br />fact, the Lake Elmo City Council finds the Erickson Planned Unit <br />Development to be inconsistent with the City's 1979 and 1986 <br />Comprehensive Plan and is therefore denied. <br />Adopted the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo this 17th day <br />of March , 1987. <br />Arlyn Chr st, Mayor <br />
