QUESTION ONE SHALL THE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF ADOPTION OF THE FOLLOWING: RAMSEY BE AMENDED BY THE Section 14.2 Community Development Standards. Expansion of the MUSA enables residential development at a significantly higher density. The following community development standards have been written to mitigate the impact high density residential development may have on existing lower density neighborhoods thereby protecting their value and quality of life. These standards apply to all residential development receiving final plat approval after January 1, 1997. 14.2.1 Residential Real Property Density. All residential lots platted within the MUSA after January 1, 1997, ("Subject Property") shall provide that the number of residential platted lots per acre ("Density") of all residential lots platted within the Subject Property that share a common border(s) with residential lots platted prior to the Subject Property ("Existing Property") shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Density of the Existing Property immediately adjoining the Subject Property at their respective common border(s) or (ii) one (1) residential platted lot for every one (1) acre of Subject Property. And shall further provide that all residential lots platted within the Subject Property that are within 1,000 feet of a common border(s) with Existing Property shall be subject to a graduated density plan approved by the city. 14.2.2 Traffic Generation Analysis. Residential real property platted within the MUSA after January I, t997, shall be subject to a traffic generation analysis which shall be provided by the developer of the Subject Property. The city shall review this analysis for the purpose of making a traffic impact determination. In the event the city's traffic impact determination establishes that the proposed development of the Subject Property will significantly increase the existing traffic flow through Existing Property which is destined for the county and/or Minnesota highway system the city of Ramsey shall limit the platted Density of the Subject Property to that of the adjacent Existing Property.
