Hugo Estates Apartments and Manufactured Home Community Expansion Page 6 <br />6. Consideration of the impact of the proposed amendment upon current and future <br />special assessments and utility area charges, future property tax assessments or <br />other fiscal impacts upon the City of Hugo. <br /> <br />The development would generate sufficient utility hookup funds and property taxes <br />to cover the demand on City services. <br /> <br />There is a requirement for adjacent jurisdiction review for comprehensive plan amendments. <br />Staff has discussed the comprehensive plan amendment with the City’s Sector Representative <br />from the Met Council. Since the property is less than 40 acres, does not change the growth <br />forecasts or TAZ allocations, is less than 100 units, and it more than one quarter mile from an <br />adjacent jurisdiction (besides MnDOT), and the City is its own LGU for stormwater, the adjacent <br />jurisdictional review can be waived. <br /> <br />Staff did provide the plans to MnDOT for review and comment. Staff received comments from <br />MnDOT and the project will be required to comply with the letter, get all permits required from <br />MnDOT, and will be responsible for the full cost of the infrastructure improvements needed to <br />serve the property. <br /> <br />It is in staff’s opinion that the proposed land use changes meet the criteria necessary to approve <br />the comprehensive plan amendment. <br /> <br />Rezoning <br /> <br />The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from Low Density Multiple Family <br />Residential (R-4) and General Industrial (I-3) to Medium Density Multiple Family Residential <br />(R-5). <br /> <br />Staff has analyzed this rezoning based on the four criteria in the City ordinance under Section <br />90-40, Zoning Amendments: <br /> <br />1.
