6. The type of density transition, as required by Section 9.20.05 Subd. 3.c of City Code, that will be utilized as part of the land use shall be identified and approved by the City Council. Staff Response: The adjacent land uses to the north and east are low density residential; the property to the south is owned by the City, zoned R -2 Medium Density Residential and is undeveloped; T.H. #47 borders the property on the west. No density transitioning is required according to City Code. 7. No urban development, other than cluster subdivisions as allowed by Section 9.20.11 of City Code, will be considered north of Trott Brook until the completion of the Comprehensive Plan Update. Staff Response: The property is located south of Trott Brook in the urban service area. The preliminary plat was reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council on July 10, 2006. The determination was that development of the property with low, rather than medium, density residential was preferable given existing development in the area. Recommendation: The Planning Commission and City Staff recommend approval of the request for a land use change. Council Action: Motion by Councilmember and seconded by Councilmember to adopt Resolution #06 -08 -_ , contingent upon preliminary plat approval, declaring findings of fact and approving the request to amend the Comprehensive Plan and designate the future land use of Outlot B, Amber Ridge as Low Density Residential; further, to direct City Staff to forward the necessary documentation to Metropolitan Council.
