City of Mounds View Staff Report May 9, 1997 Page 2 Steps Used in Planned Unit Development Zoning In Mounds View, planned unit developments go through three steps: Review/Approval/Public Hearing ■ General Concept Plan (see Section 1120.04 Subd. 2) PC,CC (PH-yes) e Development Plan (see Section 1120.04 Subd. 3) PC,CC (PH-yes) ■ Final Plan (see Section 1120.04 Subd. 4) Administrative This application is at the general concept plan stage. The purpose is for the applicant to submit a plan to the City showing the applicant's basic intent and the general nature of the entire development without incurring substantial cost. The concept plan serves as the basis for the public hearing so that the proposal may be publicly considered at an early stage. The following elements of the proposed general concept plan represent the immediately significant elements which the City shall review and for which a decision shall be rendered: • overall maximum PUD density range • general location of major streets and pedestrianways • general location and extent of public and common open space s general location of residential and nonresidential land uses with approximate type and intensities of development • staging and time schedule for development ■ other special criteria for development Discussion: The discussion section of this report is divided into two main parts: #1: evaluation of the rezoning request #2 analysis of the general concept plan The Mounds View Zoning Code includes five criteria to be considered in evaluating a rezoning request. These are discussed in Section#1 below. In addition, two neighborhood meetings were held prior to the filing of this application. Residents attending these meetings raised a number of issues which they felt were important to be researched and addressed. These are discussed in Section#2. #1: Evaluation of Rezoning Request Comprehensive Plan (1)Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan The proposal is inconsistent with the current Comprehensive Plan designation on this site. Section 1120.02 Subd. 2 on Planned Unit Developments requires that a proposed PUD be consistent with the adopted Comprehensive Plan. If the proposed amendment to the Comp Plan is approved,the proposal would be consistent. The Comprehensive Plan amendment is discussed in a separate report. It is staff's view that the proposed designation is more appropriate for this site, if it is the City's desire to develop the commercial potential of the 11111 Highway 10 corridor and add to its tax base, and that adequate measures have been taken to provide the necessary buffer to the adjacent single family neighborhood.
