Comprehensive Plan - Extension for Metropolitan Council Review / CITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 25, 1999 AGENDA ITEM: Comprehensive Plan AGENDA SECTION: PREPARED BY: Dan Rogness, Community Development Director AGENDA NO: J�. �� ATTACHMENTS: Met Council Summary APPROVED BY: � City staff inet with staff of the Metropolitan Council on Wednesday,August 18,to discuss the staff report on the city's proposed 2020 Comprehensive Plan. This meeting was held prior to the Met Council's Growth Policy Committee meeting, which included Rosemount's plan as an informational item on the agenda. City staff indicated that the City Council had given preliminary support to the idea of changing approximately 600 net acres (east of Hwy. 3 and north of County 38) from Rural Residential to Urban Residential or Agriculture. Met Council staff suggested that we consider designating that area as"Urban Reserve", which would not require it to be included in our normal MUSA phasing plan. In other words,this designation allows the city to further evaluate this area in relationship to the timing of municipal services while keeping it restrictive to development(1 dwelling unit per 40 acres, similar to our AG District). In order for this change to occur,the city must hold another public hearing and take official action by the City Council. Once approved,then the Met Council will review and approve the (revised) 2020 Comprehensive Plan for Rosemount. Giving both parties some cushion, staff is suggesting that the City Council grant another extension to the Met Council to November 15, 1999. RECOMMENDED ACTION: MOTION to Approve an Extension to the Metropolitan Council to Review and Approve Rosemount's 2020 Comprehensive Plan to November 15, 1999.

Proposed Action/Motion None, information for discussion purposes only. issue(s) • Is Rosemount's plan consistent with Council forecasts and the Regional Growth Strategy? • Does Rosemount's 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update contain a substantial departure from the metropolitan system plan for wastewater services? • Should the Council require Rosemount to modify its plan? Overview and Funding In 1997,the Council approved a major expansion of Rosemount's MtJSA,adequate to accommodate growth in the city to 2010. Rosemount's 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update proposes to accept 1,600 fewer households than the Council forecasts through 2010 and 3,000 fewer households by 2020. The city's urban area is substantially constrained by the University of Minnesota and Koch Refinery,each of whom own more than 3,000 acres of land in the city and appeaz interested in continued agricultural use of their lands. However,northeast of the urbanizing part of Rosemount there are more than 1,300 acres of land that are mostly in agricultural use at the present time and could be placed in urban reserve,which would be consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy. Instead,the city proposes to change the land use to permanent rural and allow rural residential development on lots as small as 5 acres. Such action would have the effect of eliminating possible future urbanization of the area,the only large area of potential urban land available in the community in the foreseeable future,as well as contributing to sprawl in this subregional area by forcing market demand into other,more tvral communities. . � � - . 0 Infrastructure::adequate existing highway capacities;plan makes inefficient use of existing wastewater treatment& interceptor capacities as proposed 0 Quality of life: plan proposes large-lot estates in an area that could be urbanized; Regional Growth Strategy suggests need to reserve the available land for more compact growth where regional infrastructure is already available;expansion of MUSA in heary industrial area near Koch Refinery to serve existing and future heavy industry will help reduce chances of pollution H Communication/constituency building: Would contribute to sprawl as proposed 0 Alignment: Critical Area/MNRRA plan previously approved;linkages to Dakota County park plan to provide continuous trail alon the Mississi i / � � � � � \ � !
