Comprehensive Plan which is currently being reviewed by the Metropolitan Council. City Staff have coordinated a number of public workshops on this project dating back to 2017 allowing for a number of opportunities for interested members of the public to provide their input and shape the project. The City Council was supportive of an "L Shaped" rezoning, with the larger, 80-foot wide lots along the eastern and southern boundaries. The Applicant submitted a revised sketch plan that showed larger, 80-foot wide lots along only the eastern boundary. The Planning Commission and Staff are not supportive of this alternative and has written the case in favor of the L shaped rezoning as was previously discussed with the City Council, members of the public, and Planning Commission through a multi -years engagement process. Staff feels this is a reasonable compromise and provides a transition from existing lots to Capstone's Riverstone neighborhood. The City received input from members of the public throughout this process, and in late 2019 were generally supportive of the rezoning, with the larger lots abutting existing single family homes and the smaller lots nearer to Riverstone. Alternatives Alternative 1 - Introduce Ordinance #20-06 Rezoning portions of the Subject Property from R-1 Residential (MUSA) District to R-1 Residential (Detached Villa) District previously directed by the City Council in 2019. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the City's Future Land Use guidance for the parcel as shown in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan is currently being reviewed by the Metropolitan Council. Rezoning would be contingent upon final adoption of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan by the City Council. The Planning Commission and Staff are supportive of Alternative 1. Alternative 2 - Do not introduce Ordinance #20-06 Rezoning the Subject Property from R-1 Residential (MUSA) to R-1 Detached Villa as shown in the previously submitted sketch plan. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the City's Future Land Use Map City's 2040 Future Land Use Map. This scenario would require an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan. Funding Source: All costs associated with this request are the responsibility of the Applicant. Recommendation: The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council adopt Ordinance #20-06 approving the requested Zoning Amendment of Part of Subject Property from R-1 Residential (MUSA) District to R-1 Residential (Detached Villa) as reflected in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Action: Motion to introduce Ordinance #20-06 approving the requested Zoning Amendment of part of Subject Property from R-1 Residential (MUSA) District to R-1 Residential (Detached Villa) District.
