North Dayton Development AUAR <br />Project Description The proposed North Dayton Development project would entail <br />the development of approximately 560 acres within the City of Dayton, MN. The land in question is <br />generally located north of North Diamond Lake Road, south of Dayton River Road, east of the Daytona <br />Golf Club, and west of Oxbow Lane and the adjacent farmstead. The site currently consists primarily of <br />open farm fields, homesteads, wooded areas and wetlands. Complete development of the site would <br />result in multi -phased development consisting primarily of single family residential surrounding a core <br />of commercial development. The development density is expected to average approximately 3 units per <br />acre, with 1,500 to 1,700 single-family residential homes and a small commercial node consisting of <br />neighborhood retail. City of Dayton's 2030 Future Land Use plan has a higher density than the preferred <br />land use designation proposed by the developer. As outlined in the table below, the single (preferred) <br />scenario studied by this AUAR is less impactful than the City's 2030 Land Use designation. <br />2030 Future Land Use Designation <br />(2040 Full Build) <br />Single Family 954 units <br />Preferred Land Use Designation <br />(2040 Full Build) <br />Single Family 1,342 units <br />Multifamily Housing 745 units Multifamily Housing 267 units <br />Commercial 168.6 KSF Commercial 58.2 KSF <br />By State statute, this level of development requires a mandatory environmental review, so a Scoping <br />Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was completed in late 2017, and this Alternative Urban <br />Areawide Review (AUAR) was subsequently prepared in accordance with the findings of that <br />document. The EAW Scoping process and comment period did not identify additional scenarios for <br />study. <br />Copies of the AUAR have been distributed to agencies listed on the most current Minnesota <br />Environmental Quality Board distribution list. The AUAR may be accessed by anyone electronically on <br />the City of Dayton's website; and copies are available for review at City Hall and the Minneapolis <br />Branch of the Hennepin County Public Library (300 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis). <br />RGU City of Dayton <br />Contact Person Tina Goodroad, AICP <br />12260 S Diamond Lake Road <br />Dayton, MN 55327 <br />Phone: 763.421.3487 <br />Email: t2oodroad@citvofdavtommn.com <br />b.
