CITY OF RAMSEY LAND USE APPLICATION <br />TECHNICAL REVIEW FILE <br />DATE <br />DECEMBER 21, 2017 <br />PROJECT <br />ADDRESS <br />16961 NOWTHEN BLVD <br />PROJECT. TITLE <br />RAMSEY ELEMENTARY <br />ESCROW # <br />DEPARTMENT: <br />Community Development: Planning Division (Zoning Code) <br />TECHNICAL <br />REVIEWER: <br />Name: Eric Maass, Consultant Planner <br />Phone: 763-576-4306 <br />Email: EMaass@wsbeng.com <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Zoning Amendment, and Site Plan <br />We offer the following comments regarding your land use application. Staff is supportive of the <br />proposed comprehensive plan amendment, zoning amendment, and site plan, subject to corrections <br />to plans identified within this report and final review for compliance with future steps. <br />Comprehensive Plan <br />Action Item: Comprehensive Plan Amendment required to change areas of Loan Density Residential to <br />Public. <br />Staff is supportive of the requested comprehensive plan amendment to reguide the subject <br />property from Low Density Residential to Public. The adjacent properties are guided Low <br />Density Residential and Rural Developing. The use of the property as a public use, more <br />specifically a school, would seem complimentary to the existing adjacent land uses. <br />Zoning Amendment <br />Action Item: Zoning Amendment required to change areas from R-1 Residential (MUSA) to Public / <br />Quasi Public. <br />Staff is supportive of the requested zoning amendment that would rezone the subject property <br />from R-1 Residential (MUSA) to Public/Quasi Public. The adjacent properties are zoned R-1 <br />Residential (MUSA) and R-1 Residential (Rural Developing). The zoning of Public/Quasi <br />Public would seem compatible to the existing adjacent land uses. In addition the City's zoning <br />ordinance permits for additional buffering between the two uses if deemed necessary. <br />Site Plan <br />Action Item: Site Plan approval for new Elementary School. <br />
