The property is <br />currently vacant. <br />Discussion: <br />The project requires approvals for; (1) Zoning Map Amendment; (2) Preliminary/Final Plat; (3) <br />Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a Planned Unit Development (PUD); and (4) Development <br />Review. <br />The City Council reviewed a concept plan' at its August 1, 2022 Work Session, providing a <br />consensus to the developer to proceed with an application. <br />The project includes a "ghost plat" to include a Phase II 130-unit apartment east of Phase I. <br />Phase II would require the acquisition of three homes to the east, none of which are for sale. <br />The intent of the ghost plat is to demonstrate how a Phase II would be compatible with Phase I. <br />There is no timetable as to when (if ever) Phase II will be developed. <br />As a Planned Unit Development (PUD), the project may deviate from the minimum requirements <br />of the City Code. Proposed deviations include: <br />1. Density is increased, from 50 units, to 140 units (e.g. increased from 1 unit per 2,500 sq ft <br />lot area, to 1 unit per 890 sq ft lot area). The Comprehensive Plan guides PUD's within a <br />Mixed Use area for a density of 15-50 units per acre. The project proposes 49 units per <br />acre. <br />2. Usable Open Space is reduced, from 625 sq ft per unit, to per unit. <br />3. Overstory Trees are reduced, from 31 to 19 trees. <br />4. Building Setback along Woodale Drive is reduced from 30' to 21'. Along Mounds View <br />Boulevard, the maximum setback is increased from 5' to 21'. <br />1 Mounds View City Code §160.318(B) (General Concept Plan) <br />i lie rvaounus view vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
