| | | | | | | | ACTION REQUESTED:
Adopt the resolution authorizing submittal to the Metropolitan Council the amendment to the 2030 Land Use to re-designate Outlots F and G, COBBLESTONE LAKE COMMERCIAL 3RD ADDITION from “HD” (High Density Residential/12+ units per acre) to “LD” (Low Density Residential/2-6 units per acre) and "P" (Parks and Open Space), in accordance with the COBBLESTONE LAKE SOUTH SHORE 9TH ADDITION preliminary plat.
SUMMARY:
South Shore Development, Inc., has submitted a request for a 2030 Comprehensive Plan Land Use amendment re-designating Outlots F and G , COBBLESTONE LAKE COMMERCIAL 3RD ADDITION from “HD” (Medium Density Residential/12+ units per acre) to “LD” (Low Density Residential/2-6 units per acre) and "P" (Parks and Open Space), rezoning from Planned Development No. 703/zone 6 and 7 to Planned Development no. 703/zone 2A, and the subdivision of the 11.51 acres into 44 single-family residential lots, and two outlots. The project is located at the southeast corner of 157th Street West and Cobblestone Lake Parkway South.
The Planning Commission reviewed the development request on September 16 and October 7, 2015. They recommended approval of the amendments to the 2030 Land Use Map, rezoning, and preliminary plat; subject to conditions presented by staff and amended by the Commission.
Action on the rezoning and subdivision requests shall be withheld by the City Council until the Comprehensive Plan amendments has been approved by the Metropolitan Council. The Comprehensive Plan amendments, rezoning, and preliminary plat will return to the City Council for consideration after the Metropolitan Council’s decision.
BACKGROUND:
In 2008, the City approved the rezoning of Outlot F to "PD-703/zone 6", which allows for a variety of commercial uses including care facilities, and development plans that would allow for the construction of a 214-unit continuum of care facility. Since the approvals, the developer and property owner have not been able to secure necessary financing for the project.
The City also received a $896,000 Livable Communities Development Account (LCDA) grant form the Metropolitan Council that would assist the developer with the acquisition of land for the senior complex and the City with completion of planned park amenities on the west of Cobblestone Lake Park. Development of the site for the single-family residential would result in the forfeiture if the LCDA grant funds.
Outlot G is currently designated for public park purposes. The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments and development will result in a minor alteration of the common boundary line of the two existing outlots. The newly created Outlot B will be dedicated for public park.
BUDGET IMPACT:
As noted above, the proposed single-family development would not be eligible for the $896,000 in LCDA grant funds.
