Application Request <br />The item for the City Council to consider is the adoption of the Final Alternative Urban Areawide <br />Review (AUAR) Update for The COR (formerly Ramsey Town Center). The purpose of this AUAR <br />Update document is to update the environmental review pursuant to Minnesota Rules. The original <br />AUAR for the study area was adopted by the City in 2003. Pursuant to Minnesota Rules 4410.3610 <br />Subp. 7, for the AUAR to remain valid as the environmental review document for the area, the <br />document needs to be updated every five years until all development in the area has received final <br />approval. Since portions of the study area still remain undeveloped, the AUAR must be updated. <br />The AUAR expired in 2008 without update and this update will extend the AUAR until 2018. <br />The 30-day comment period deadline was June 12, 2013. Comments on the update were received <br />from MNDOT, DNR, Metropolitan Council and the MPCA. Responses to these comments have <br />been prepared and attached to this memo for review. The comments received and the associated <br />responses are part of the public record and the AUAR update. <br />While comments have been received and responses have been prepared, there were no objections <br />to the AUAR update, therefore, the City can move forward by adopting the AUAR update. By <br />adopting the AUAR update, the City acknowledges that any development that proceeds within the <br />AUAR study area will meet the mitigation measures outlined in this document, be within the density <br />analyzed in the AUAR and take into consideration any responses to comments. <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 612.638.0225. <br />Attachments <br />1.
