Review of UMore AUAR Scenarios 9 RGSENAOLINTTIT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PLANNING COMMISSION Planning Commission Meeting Date: March 27, 2012 AGENDA ITEM: UMore AUAR Scenarios AGENDA SECTION: New Business PREPARED BY: Eric Zweber, Senior Planner AGENDA NO. r1 a ATTACHMENTS: Land Use Concept 1; Land Use Concept 2; APPROVED BY: Land Use Concept 3 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Provide comments on the Scenarios for the City Council Consideration. ISSUE The City of Rosemount, Empire Township, and the University of Minnesota are cooperating on an alternative urban areawide review (AUAR) for the 5,000 acre UMore Park. The first step in the AUAR process is developing the various land use scenarios that will be evaluated. Three scenarios have been developed and the Planning Commission is being asked to review them and provide any comments that the City Council should consider. DISCUSSION The City of Rosemount, Empire Township, and the University is conducting an AUAR for UMore Park. UMore Park covers 5,000 acres, with the 3,000 acres located north of CSAH 46 located within Rosemount and the 2,000 acres located south of CSAH 46 located within Empire Township. The City is the responsible government unit (RGU) for the AUAR. To begin the AUAR process, three generalized land use concepts (scenarios) have been developed by the UMore's planning consultant Hoisington Koegler, Inc. (HKgi). City staff, the Township's planning consultant, and UMore staff have been involved in scenario development. The three scenarios are based (in varying degrees) on the UMore Concept Master Plan prepared by Design Workshop in January 2009 which planned for a community of approximately 30,000 people. The City has never taken any formal action on the Concept Master Plan. The first scenario, Land Use Concept 1, is the most similar to the Concept Master Plan. Concept 1 includes four different residential land uses: low density, low- medium density, medium density, and high density. The low, medium, and high density residential land uses exist in our Comprehensive Plan, while the low- medium density district is new. Low density is typically single family homes, medium density is typically townhomes, and high density is normal apartments or multiple story condominiums. The low- medium density district is intended for small lot single family, duplexes, or quads. Scenario Concept 2 has identical land uses as Concept 1 and therefore the maps are the same. The difference between Concept 1 and Concept 2 is that Concept 1 develops at the maximum residential density allowed in each residential land use category, while Concept 2 projects development at a more historic residential density, consistent with what is currently experienced in the City. Land Use Concept 3 adds more business park and light industrial in place of some of the residential. Concept 3 also anticipates residential development at the maximum residential density allowed. The purpose of Concept 1 and Concept 3 is to project more development than the traditional and determine what the impacts on City infrastructure would be. Additionally, through the AUAR process it is beneficial to define the "higher end" of acceptable development to ascertain development impacts and necessary mitigation measures. If the maximum development is defined future development must fall below that upper boundary. If future development is greater than that reviewed by the AUAR, an amendment to the AUAR would need to occur which is a costly and timely process. On the other hand, staff does not want to project development that is too intense creating adverse impacts on the environment and prompting extensive mitigation measures to be undertaken. Concept 2 will generate demand more consistent with current development patterns and demand on the future infrastructure system. This benchmarking can also be used as the basis for future decision making as to what is the appropriate level of development for UMore and what is the appropriate infrastructure system required.

The dates of the meetings and the actual schedule of events have not been determined at this time. City staff is coordinating with Empire Township for an April 10 review of the scenarios. City staff wants to ensure that Empire and the University are comfortable with the three development scenarios prior to commencement of AUAR work. RECOMMENDATION Staff is requesting that the Planning Commission review the three scenarios. Any comments provided will be forwarded to the City Council to consider when they are asked to approve the scenarios and initiate the AUAR. 2 0 BISCAYNE AVE 4, t 1 0. 1.) o r •co I<\ 0 O.,. ):21 i■ 73 ii CEIE 1 iir =Ea d 1 11 c?
