FUTURE LAND USE MAP COMP PLAN DISCUSSION
The Planning Commission is being asked to review and discuss further revisions to the draft future land
use map and associated table. Staff has made a few smaller revisions made to the map since the last
Commission work session and has also met with representatives from the Met Council to review some of
the City’s initial maps and tables. The included maps and tables include the following:
• An updated Future Land Use Map with the proposed 2030, 2040, and 2050 MUSA Line. All of
the MUSA Line revisions are now included on one map that will form the basis of the land use
chapter.
• A Future Land Use Map with the parcels owned by Flint Hills Resources highlighted. This map is
for review purposes only and is intended to help identify parcels that will not be developed during
the time frame of the Plan.
• A map identifying the land use changes proposed by Staff since the last work session. This map
also incorporates two changes requested by land owners.
• An updated land use table with revised projections for residential units in each of the 10-year
planning periods. Staff is depicting a range of units that will include the Met Council minimum
and City’s projections based on previous development patterns.
The City’s meeting with the Met Council was helpful to understand some of the issues that will be critical
to address in the land use chapter of the plan. Some of the more important discussion topics from this
meeting are as follows:
• The Met Council review of the City’s Comprehensive Plan update will focus on the revisions from
the 2030 plan, and specifically, those changes to the future land use map between the years 2020
and 2040.
• Any land uses that extend beyond 2040 will not be reviewed by the Met Council.
• Any land uses approved with the City’s 2020 Comprehensive Plan (adopted in 2009) will not
county towards the City’s minimum density requirements. Because there are large areas devoted to
low density residential in Rosemount’s plan (with a minimum density of one unit per acre), this
allowance will help the updated plan conform to the 3-5 units per acre minimum density range.
• With the additional medium and high density housing proposed in the 2020-2030 time frame, the
City is able to project a minimum density of at least three units per acre.
• Housing affordability is now based on 8 units per acre (up from 6 units per acre previously).
• The City will need to document that the Plan will be able to accommodate a minimum of 783 units
of affordable housing between 2020 and 2030.
• The City should provide an estimate of downtown housing units, and because staff is
recommending a minimum density of 20 units per acre, these units will count towards the City’s
affordable housing goals. In order to calculate an estimate for an overall number of future
downtown housing units, staff is estimating that up to 20% of the land area in downtown land use
category will be redeveloped for housing in the future.
• With the amount of land guided for HDR – High Density Residential and Downtown Residential
between 2020 and 2030, the City will be able to accommodate its affordable housing targets.
• No new development areas are guided for TR – Transitional Residential land use, and therefore,
any future extension of services into these areas will not count against the City’s minimum density
requirements. The sanitary sewer plan should note that the City plans to serve the TR area in the
future.
• Any property that is owned by Flint Hills has been removed from the City’s residential projections;
however, staff is recommending that all parcels previously guided for non-agricultural uses and
owned by Flint Hills retain their land use designations in case these parcels are ever sold or
developed by Flint Hills (which is highly unlikely).
Another major discussion point with the Met Council concerns the City’s population and household
forecasts. These forecasts are partially based on land capacity, are reviewed every year, and may be
adjusted upwards or downwards based on market conditions, availability of land, road improvements, or
other factors that make land available for development. The forecasts are reviewed every year, and
changes in market trends may lead to revisions in the forecasts. Because Rosemount has a fairly large
supply of undeveloped land, it is difficult to project (with a high degree of accuracy) future household
growth due to the factors listed above that may either accelerate or hinder development.
One final issue that should also be considered by the Planning Commission is the amount of development
that is expected to occur after 2040 in Rosemount. Past plans have made future projections for all of
Rosemount (at full build out), including the UMore property. While these numbers are useful for utility
and transportation planning purposes, any development occurring beyond 2040 will not be directly
reviewed by the Met Council with this update. Again, this information is very critical from the City’s
perspective, but will not be a major focus point for the Met Council.
During the planning process for the Comprehensive Plan update, staff has been approached by land
owners with requests for changes to their future land use designation. Two of these requests were
submitted in writing and are attached for consideration by the Planning Commission. Staff has found
both requests to be reasonable, and therefore has updated the draft future land use map accordingly.
Staff will discuss other implications and observations of the maps and table with the Commission at the
workshop.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is looking for input from the Commissioners concerning the updates listed above. Because the
meeting is a work session, no action is required.
