Adelaide Landing Residential Development EAW, Hugo January 31, 2017 temperature and growing season, acceptable acidity or alkalinity, acceptable salt and sodium content and few or no rocks." No prime farmland is found on the site. Farmlands of statewide importance include those that are nearly prime farmland and that economically produce high yields of crops when treated and managed according to acceptable farming methods. Some may produce as high a yield as prime farmlands if conditions are favorable. In some states, additional farmlands of statewide importance may include tracts of land that have been designated for agriculture by state law. ii. Plans. Describe planned land use as identified in comprehensive plan (if available) and any other applicable plan for land use, water, or resources management by a local, regional, state, or federal agency. The City of Hugo Comprehensive Plan (March 15, 2010) maps the projected 2030 land use (zoning) of the proposed project area for low density residential (LDR) development. The LDR identifies residential land uses developed between 2 units per net acre to 3 units per net acre (up to 4 units per net acre with a PUD). The primary use planned for this area is single-family detached home and some two family homes. The Project area is within the proposed 2030 Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA) and is expected to develop within the timeframe of the comprehensive plan. The Hugo Zoning Map (revised February 1, 2016; Exhibit 5) indicates that the project area falls within Single Family Detached Residential (R-3), and is intended to be the primary single family zoning district for future residential developments. The City zoning district regulation permits single-family residential housing at a density of one unit per 10,400 square feet (4.16 units/acre) and twin homes at a density of one unit per 15,000 square feet (2.9 units/acre) within the R-3 zoning district. The proposed project will have an overall net density of 2.4 units per acre. Therefore, the number of dwelling units proposed within the project is consistent with anticipated level of density guided for and contemplated in the City of Hugo Comprehensive Land Use Plan (2010). The Metropolitan Council has adopted the 2030 Regional Development Framework to ensure orderly, economic development of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area in relation to regional infrastructure for transportation, water resources, and regional parks and open space. In 1996, the Council established a Metropolitan Regional Blueprint, which serves as the framework for development for the Twin Cities seven -county area. Only land designated by the Metropolitan Council as being within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) can receive city sewer service. A full range of public utilities and facilities shall be available to the project area. The Hugo Comprehensive Plan must address not only local issues but also be consistent with regional benchmarks included as part of the 2030 Regional Development Framework for population, household and employment growth, transportation, housing and natural resources. The 2030 Regional Development Framework designated the City of Hugo as a Developing Community. This designation is based on the location of Hugo at the periphery of developed areas of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area with land available for new urban development through 2030. Designation as a Developing Community means that the growth that has occurred in Hugo starting around 1976 will continue through the year 2030 (2010 Comprehensive Land Use Plan).
