6.02: Public Hearing: Consider Request for Sketch Plan, Zoning Amendment, and Comprehensive Plan Amendment Related to a Proposed Second School Campus for PACT Charter School on the Property Located at 7633 161st Avenue NW (Project No. 22-107); Case of PACT Charter School Public Hearing Chairperson Bauer explained how he and Commissioner VanScoy are involved in the Church of Saint Katharine Drexel, which owns the subject property, and therefore both will be abstaining from this discussion and vote. Commissioner Gengler called the public hearing to order at 7:19 p.m. Presentation Senior Planner Anderson presented the staff report stating that a sketch plan is intended to provide the Planning Commission an opportunity to review a proposal and provide initial feedback to the applicant before development of more detailed engineering plans which can be very costly. No formal action is required on the sketch plan. If the Planning Commission is supportive of PACT establishing a new school campus on the subject property, then it should recommend that the City Council adopt Resolution #22-050 and Ordinance #22-15. The former would approve a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and direct staff to formally submit an application to the Metropolitan Council to reguide the western 18 acres of the subject property to Public/Institutional. The latter would rezone the western 18 acres to Public/Quasi-Public and be subject to the Comprehensive Plan Amendment approval. Commissioner Walker asked the residential lot sizes along 161st to the north of the subject property. Senior Planner Anderson replied that those lots range from about one acre to a few acres in size. He stated that east of Variolite Street there are properties roughly one quarter acre in size that are zoned for 80 foot lots with sewer and water. He stated that the lots to the north and south are still larger lots on private septic. Commissioner Walker stated that he believes 161st is scheduled to be resurfaced in 2023 or 2024. He noted that the road would require upgrades in order to support a school and asked who would be responsible for those costs. Senior Planner Anderson replied that the developer would be responsible for any road improvements needed to support the development. Commissioner Walker asked how the existing residents would be buffered from this use and sports activity on the property. Senior Planner Anderson stated that will come with further plan development, should that step of the process be reached. He noted that there is concern from neighboring property owners related
