RESOLUTION 9475 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION APPROVING A TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WHEREAS, the 2040 Comprehensive Plan (the Plan) was adopted on September 13, 2021. Figure 2-2 (Future Land Use) and Table 2-3 (Density within Redevelopment areas) identifies 84 net acres guided for "Mixed Use", intended (not required) to include a 60%/40% residential/commercial component. The residential component of Mixed Use is intended to include a density of 15 to 30 units per net acre; and, WHEREAS, the proposed The Villas of Mounds View (former Skyline Motel), 4889 Old Highway 8, is within an area designated Mixed Use, and planned to include 120-units of affordable senior housing. Its residential component includes a density of 31 units per acre; and, WHEREAS, the City Council discussed Mixed Use density at its August 2, 2021 Work Session, providing a consensus to allow 15 — 50 dwelling units per acre. The higher density is intended to allow flexibility for future mixed use projects beyond the proposed Villas of Mounds View project. The Planning Commission discussed density at its September 15, 2021 meeting, continuing action until a Public Hearing could be conducted; and, WHEREAS, in compliance with MN Statute §462.355, Subd 2 and Subd 3, the Planning Commission (planning agency) conducted a Public Hearing on October 6, 2021. A Public Hearing Notice was published by the Pioneer Press (alternate official newspaper) on September 20, 2021. No testimony was provided during the Public Hearing. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the text amendment (Resolution 1138-21); and, WHEREAS, the Plan intends redevelopment within areas planned for Mixed Use (Figure 2-2) to occur as a Planned Unit Development (PUD). The Mounds View Municipal Code § 160.316(F) states; "The exact density allowable [as a PUD] shall be determined by standards agreed upon between the applicant and the city. " Therefore, the Comprehensive Plan text amendment will not require any amendment to the Municipal Code; and, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, in consideration of the Staff Report and the Planning Commission's recommendation, the Mounds View City Council approves a Text Amendment to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, increasing allowable density from 15-30 units per acre, to 15-50 units per acre, in areas designated "Mixed Use" (Figure 2-2 and Table 2-3), and any related text within the Plan; and,
