Frenchman Place 5th Addition <br />Page 5 <br /> c. Parks and Open Space; <br /> <br />This development is in Neighborhood Park Service Area 4 which <br />includes Lions Volunteer Park, Heritage Ponds Park, and Frog Hollow. <br />The surrounding properties are a mix of commercial and higher density <br />residential. The need for a park in the area was raised by residents in the <br />Victor Gardens townhouses when Rosemary Apartments were <br />constructed north of the proposed apartments. The applicant is proposing <br />an approximately 2 acre public park with the development. <br /> <br /> d. Capital Improvement Program (CIP). <br /> <br />There are no public streets in the proposed project. In addition, the <br />developer would be responsible for the full cost of the infrastructure <br />improvements needed to serve the property. No impacts will be made to <br />the CIP with this project. The park dedication of land and trunk fees will <br />be paid with the project. <br /> <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, and it more than one quarter mile from an adjacent jurisdiction <br />(besides Washington County), 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 Washington County for review and comment. Staff received <br />comments from Washington County and the project will be required to comply with the letter. <br /> <br />It is in staff’s opinion that the proposed land use changes meets the criteria necessary to approve <br />the comprehensive plan amendment. <br /> <br />Rezoning <br /> <br />The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from General Business (C-2) to Medium <br />Density Multiple Family Residential (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. The requested amendment is in compliance with the city’s comprehensive plan <br />
