Item No: Meeting Date: Type of Business City Administrator Review 08A Nov 28, 2022 Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Jon Sevald, Community Development Director Item Title/Subject: i. PUBLIC HEARING: First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance No. 998, Amending the Official Zoning Map for 2310 Mounds View Boulevard, from R-1 Single Family Residential to PUD Planned Unit Development. ROLL CALL VOTE ii. PUBLIC HEARING Resolution 9653 Approving the Preliminary Plat of "WOODALE APARTMENTS". ROLL CALL VOTE iii. PUBLIC HEARING Resolution 9654 Approving the PUD of "WOODALE APARTMENTS", and Development Review. ROLL CALL VOTE Introduction: Reuter Walton (developer) is proposing "Woodale Apartments", a 140-unit apartment building to be located at 2310 Mounds View Boulevard, east of Bel Rae Senior Living. The property is currently vacant. At the November 14, 2022 City Council meeting, the Council tabled action on the First Reading & Introduction of Ordinance 998 (rezoning), to allow consideration by all councilmembers (Councilmember Bergeron was absent). Staff is recommending that the City Council conduct Public Hearings for all items, and table action on items ii, and iii, until December 12th. This will allow approval/denial of the project to happen sequentially (rezoning has to be acted on first, before other items). Additionally, revised plans were submitted on November 22nd, which Staff has not had adequate time to review, prior to Council packets being assembled. Discussion: The project includes a "ghost plat" to include a Phase II 130-unit apartment east of Phase I. Phase II would require the acquisition of three homes to the east, none of which are for sale. The intent of the ghost plat is to demonstrate how a Phase II would be compatible with Phase I. There is no timetable as to when (if ever) Phase II will be developed. As a Planned Unit Development (PUD), the project may deviate from the minimum requirements of the City Code. Proposed deviations include: 1. Density is increased, from 50 units, to 140 units (e.g. increased from 1 unit per 2,500 sq ft lot area, to 1 unit per 890 sq ft lot area). The Comprehensive Plan guides PUD's within a Mixed Use area for a density of 15-50 units per acre. The project proposes 49 units per acre. The Mounds View Vision A Thriving Desirable Community
