CASE # / <br /> <br /> REQUEST TO REZONE CERTAIN PROPERTY <br /> FROM R-1 RURAL RESIDENTIAL TO R-1 URBAN RESIDENTIAL; <br /> CASE OF REILEY ESTATES PARTNERSHIP, INC. <br /> By: Community Dev. Director Sylvia Frolik <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Reilley Estates Partnership is requesting a rezoning of property proposed to be platted into single <br />family urban residential lots. <br /> <br />The following items are enclosed for your information: <br /> <br /> 1. Site location map <br /> 2. General development plan <br /> 3. Proposed Findings of Fact <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />State statute requires notification of the public hearing to owners of property within 350 feet of <br />the subject property. Staff sent hearing notices to owners of property in excess of the 350 foot <br />requirement. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The property is approximately 75 acres in size. The ComPrehensive Plan amendment initiated <br />by Ramsey in 1993 and approved by Metro Council in 1995 placed the subject property in the <br />Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) for residential development with urban services. The <br />adjacent parcels to the north, east and west and on the south side of 153rd Avenue N.W. are also <br />in the MUSA and zoned rural residential. The surrounding properties were developed prior to <br />being included in the MUSA and consist of the larger, rural lots served by on-site well and <br />septic. <br /> <br />The current Comprehensive Plan targets this area for residential development with urban <br />services. The Applicant has provided a general development plan documenting their intent to <br />develop the property with single family urban lots. Approval of the rezoning would be based on <br />the Comprehensive Plan and the Applicant's intent to develop the property with single family <br />residential lots. The plat design including lot sizes, density, tree preservation, street layouts, <br />grading and drainage plans, sewer/water/storm sewer plans, etc. are all subject to the current <br />regulations for the R-1 Urban Residential District and Chapter 14 of the City Charter. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission opened the public hearing on June 6, 2000. Residents and Planning <br />Commissioners raised questions which required legal expertise. The Planning Commission <br /> <br /> <br />
