CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 05/12/2020 Submitted For: Chloe McGuire Brigl, Community Development By: Eric Maass, Community Development Information 7. 3. Title: Consider Multiple Requests related to the Preserve at Northfork (Project #19-147): Case of BK Land Development 1. Motion to adopt Ordinance #20-02 Approving Zoning Amendment from Planned Unit Development (PUD) to R-1 Residential (MUSA) District and R-2 Residential (Detached Villa) District 2. Motion to adopt Resolution #20-055 Approving Preliminary Plat Purpose/Background: The purpose of this case is to review an application from BK Land Development (the "Applicant") for Rezoning and Preliminary Plat approval for the development known as Preserve at Northfork. The proposed development would be on the site generally known as PID 19-32-25-41-0004, which is south of Alpine Drive and west of Puma Street and the Riverstone (Capstone) Development Project (the "Subject Property"). The Applicant has proposed 61 villa style lots (50 foot wide, R-2 Residential (Detached Villa) District) and 29 single family lots (80 foot wide lots, R-1 Residential (MUSA) District) for a total of 90 lots. This is a reduction in 6 lots from the sketch plan that was previously reviewed by the City at time of Sketch Plan Review. The Applicant eliminated 6 single family 80 foot wide lots to accommodate an additional stormwater pond adjacent to Alpine Drive. Approximately 12.2 acres will be dedicated to the villas, approximately 9.2 acres will be dedicated to the single family lots and approximately 7 acres dedicated as outlots for stormwater management. The property is currently zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) and the proposal will require a rezoning to R-1 Residential (MUSA) District and R-2 Residential (Detached Villa) District. Notification: The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the preliminary plat at its meeting on May 7, 2020. Notice of that public hearing was sent via Standard US Mail to Property Owners within 700 feet of the Subject Property, as reflected by Anoka County Property Records. Additionally, public notifications for sketch plan and rezoning requests have been sent regarding this project via Standard US Mail to Property Owners within 700 feet of the Subject Property, as reflected by Anoka County Property Records. Observations/Alternatives: Land Use (Comprehensive Plan) and Zoning As part of the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan, a dual designation is proposed on this parcel. Generally speaking, the eastern half of the property is proposed to be guided as Medium Density Residential (4-7 units per acre) and the western half of the property is proposed to be guided as Low Density Residential (3-4 units per acre). This proposal requires a Zoning Amendment from Planned Unit Development (PUD) to R-1 Residential (MUSA) District and R-2 Residential (Detached Villa) District. The Planning Commission held a public hearing for the rezoning on December 5, 2019, as well as a workshop prior to the meeting. Minutes from the meeting are attached. Neighbors were generally supportive of the rezoning, and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
