EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR DISCUSSION
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
DATE: February 9, 2000
AGENDA ITEM:
Moratorium on Residential Development
AGENDA NO.
PREPARED BY:
Rick Pearson, City Planner
ATTACHMENTS:
Ordinance No. XXIA
On February 23, 1999, an interim ordinance was adopted which placed a moratorium on
preliminary and final plats, rezonings and PUDs for new residential developments. The reason
for the moratorium was based upon the ongoing process of updating the Comprehensive Guide
Plan. Land that was the subject of pending and potential development was anticipated to have
new land use policies. As well, there were housing issues which needed to be resolved in order
to provide direction for future projects involving attached or other types of higher density
housing.
With the Met Council acceptance of the Rosemount 2020 Comprehensive Plan, these issues have
been resolved. Therefore, staff requests the Council consider an item on the next available City
Council meeting agenda to repeal the interim ordinance. With Council concurrence, an agenda
item will be placed upon the February 15, 2000 meeting agenda under old business to repeal
Ordinance No. XXIA
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
No action is requested at this time.
COUNCIL ACTION:
CITY OF ROSEMOUNT
ORDINANCE NO. XXIA
AN ORDINANCE FOR PROTECTING THE PLANNING PROCESS AND THE
HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE RESIDENTS
OF THE CITY, PLACING A MORATORIUM ON
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OF ROSEMOUNT
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMOUNT ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Background.
1.01. Minnesota Statutes, Section 473.864, subd. 2 requires the city to review and, if necessary,
amend its comprehensive plan and official controls by December 31, 1998.
1.02. The city's comprehensive plan has not been updated since 1993.
1.03. As required by law the city is and will be reviewing, updating and amending its
comprehensive plan and official controls. The city's draft 2020 Comprehensive Plan includes
substantive changes from the current plan regarding housing development. The city cannot adopt its
2020 Plan until it has received and considered the formal review comments of the Metropolitan
Council.
1.04. The city council has determined that an area of the city which is commonly known as the
Kelley Trust property, is an area of approximately 520 acres which requires special care in
development because, among other reasons: it is under single ownership and currently undeveloped
and therefore represents a unique opportunity to accomplish the city's land use planning objectives
through a unified, integrated land use design; it is comprised in rolling topography with scenic vistas,
wetlands and oak savannah forests which should be protected and preserved by development which
'is compatible with such natural amenities; and it is sufficiently large that its development and the
density of its development will have a substantial effect on the overall residential development of
the city, the mix of housing types available in the city and public utilities and services.
1.05. As of December 31, 1998, the city's housing mix was 77% single family residential and 23%
multi- family units. The city's policy is to have a mix of 75% single family and 25% multi- family
between 1995 and 2020. As of December 31, 1998, the' city has an inventory of undeveloped lots for
930 residential units, 48% of which are single family units and 52% multi - family.
1.06. The council has not yet determined what amendments to its comprehensive plan and official
controls can best assure that future residential development will be an appropriate mix of single and
multi- family units and that the various types of residential housing are developed in appropriate
areas of the city.
ORDINANCE NO. XXI.4
1.07. In connection with consideration of a proposal for development of the Kelley Trust property
and an application for planned unit development concept approval, and with consideration of
amendments to the city's comprehensive plan, the city council has reviewed the existing and
potential development in the city. As a result of that process, the council has determined that current
land use controls do not adequately address the various land use concerns described above.
1.08. Therefore the council has determined that there is a need for further studies and hearings to
be conducted as part of the state mandated comprehensive plan review process so that the city may
adopt such amendments to its comprehensive plan and zoning code as are deemed necessary or
expedient to ensure protection of the public, health, safety and welfare. The council has directed that
such studies be undertaken and that such hearings be conducted and completed.
1.09. Due to the pendency of an application for concept approval for a planned unit development
which may not be consistent with future amendments to the comprehensive plan and official controls
and the potential for other such development, the council has determined that there is a need for an
interim ordinance to be adopted pursuant to Minnesota Statues, Section 462.355, Subd. 4, for the
purpose of protecting the planning process and the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the
city, and ensuring that the city and its citizens retain the benefits of, and the protection sought to be
afforded by , the city's comprehensive plan and zoning ordinances until the study process is
complete and any modifications to the city's comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance become
effective.
Section 2. Properties Subject to Moratorium.
2.01. Properties subject to the provisions of Section 3.01 of this ordinance include all properties
in the city with the zoning designations RL, R -1, R -3, R -3 and R -4.
2.02. Properties subject to the provisions of Section 3.02 of this ordinance include all properties
in the city.
Section 3. Prohibition.

properties described in paragraph 2.01 may be developed, or redeveloped and no site plan
approvals, rezonings, preliminary or final plattings or replattings, planned unit development, land
divisions or consolidations, or building permits for residential development will be considered,
approved or granted by the city.
3.02. Except as provided in Section 4, during the period this interim ordinance is in effect, no
rezonings to any zoning classification (except for RR) allowing residential development will be
considered, approved or granted by the city for any property in the city, and no building permits for
residential development will be issued for any property zoned BP -4 in the city.
Section 4. Exception.
4.01. Section 3.01 of this ordinance shall not apply to:
a) developments or redevelopments which have secured all necessary approvals
other than building permits;
-+,.
ORDINANCE NO. XXIA
b) issuance of building permits for projects which do not require site plan

d) consideration of concept planned unit development proposals received before

proposals; provided, however, that the. applicant state its understanding that it is at
risk that official controls adopted at a later date will not allow development of the
planned unit development as proposed; that no final planned unit development
approval shall be granted and no platting based on such planned unit development
will be considered during the term of this interim ordinance; and that the
development of properties which are the subject of such planned unit development
proposals must conform to all requirement of official controls adopted prior to the
expiration of this interim ordinance except to the extent any nonconformity is
explicitly authorized therein.
Section 5. Effect on Pending Applications.
5.01. All applications subject to this moratorium which are pending or which are received during
the time ordinance is in effect shall be deemed to be denied for purposes of Minnesota Statues,
Section 15.99. The City Administrator shall cause notification of such denial to be given to all
applications stating the adoption of this ordinance as the reason therefor. Fees paid in connection
with such applications shall be returned or refunded to the applicant.
Section 6. Effective and Termination Dates.
6.01. This ordinance shall be effective on the date following its publication.
