Planning Case MU2017-001 April 5, 2017 Page 4 Summary MWF Properties is requesting; (1) to rezone two properties to R-4 High Density Residential; and (2) a Conditional Use Permit for a Multiple-Family Dwelling in an R-4 district. The proposed apartment building will include 60-units of affordable workforce housing. MWF Properties will be requesting financial assistance from the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (competitive grant), and from the City EDA. If financial assistance is obtained, MWF will then apply for a Major Subdivision to combine the four lots into one lot, and will apply for a Development Review for the project. The Development Review will include specific plans for the location and appearance of the facility. A Public Hearing for the Zoning Map Amendment and Conditional Use Permit will be held by the City Council at a later date. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the Zoning Map Amendment, and Conditional Use Permit contingent upon complying with the conditions in Resolution 1067-17 and Resolution 1068-17. The Planning Commission is requested to consider the following options: 1. Resolution 1067-17, recommending approval of the Zoning Map Amendment; and Resolution 1068-17, recommending approval of the Conditional Use Permit, are attached if the Commission chooses this action. 2. The Planning Commission may choose to deny either of the resolutions. If the Commission chooses this option, Staff would need to be directed to draft a resolution of denial with findings of fact appropriate to support the denial. 3. Table the request. If additional information is needed before a decision can be rendered or if more discussion is needed, the Commission can simply move to table the request until such information has been provided. Because of the 60-day requirements (Deadline: June, 19, 2017) the Commission would need to act upon the request as soon as reasonably possible to avoid an inadvertent approval.
