Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission discussed the development plan with the <br />Applicant. If the area proposed to be developed with townhomes is not rezoned to medium <br />density residential, it would be eligible for development with 4 single family homes. The <br />proposed development plan identii]¢d 6 townhome units. The subject area also serves as an <br />entrance to a 202 townhome project area and on that basis, a majority of the Planning <br />Commissioners felt that town_homes would be more compatible with the area. As a compromise <br />between the residents desire for a low density development on the subject property and the <br />Commission's desire for a development compatible with Alpine Acres townhome project, the <br />developer and Planning Commission a~eed that the subject area would be restricted to 4 <br />town_home units. The developer has submitted a revised preliminary plat reducing the number of <br />townhome units on the property from 6 to 4. : <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request for a rezoning to R-2 Medium <br />Density Residential with a 4 unit restriction. <br /> <br />The City Council tabled action on the rezoning request at their June 10, 2003 meeting. The City <br />Council wanted to discuss the preliminary plat of Alpine Acres and Alpine Acres 2n~ Addition at <br />a work session prior to taking action on the rezoning request. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #03-06- _ adopting Findings of Fact # relating to a request to ' <br />rezone the proposed plat of Alpine A~res 2nd Addition from R~I Single Family Residential to R-2 <br />Medium Density Residential <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember and seconded by Councilmember <br />to introduce Ordinance #03-__ to rezone the subject property from R-1 Single Family <br />Residential to R-2 Medium Density Residential, based on the findings of facts, and contingent <br />upon City Council and Metropolitan Council approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, <br />and the developer receiving preliminary plat and site plan approval for Alpine Acres 2n~ Addition <br />with a maximum of 4 units. <br /> <br />-or- <br /> <br />Motion to direct City Staff to draft findings of fact for consideration to support denial of the <br />request for rezoning. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />Principal Planner <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />Copies to: <br />City Administrator <br />City Attorney <br /> <br />CC: 6/10/03 <br /> <br />-216- <br /> <br /> <br />
