McMenomy City of Rosemount Comprehensive Plan Amendment Request for Properties North of 160th Street and East of Chippendale Avenue EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Council Regular Meeting: April 16, 2017 AGENDA ITEM: McMenomy City of Rosemount Comprehensive Plan Amendment Request for Properties North of 160th Street and East of Chippendale Avenue AGENDA SECTION: New Business PREPARED BY: Anthony Nemcek, Planner AGENDA NO. 9.b. ATTACHMENTS: Resolution, Site Location Map, Comp Plan Amendment Map APPROVED BY: LJM RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to adopt a resolution approving an amendment to the 2030 Rosemount Comprehensive Plan to change the future land use designation of the three parcels located north of 160th Street and East of Chippendale Avenue from NC- Neighborhood Commercial to HDR-High Density Residential. SUMMARY The City Council is being asked to approve a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment to facilitate future development of the subject parcel. Generally, staff does not encourage processing Comprehensive Plan Amendments separate from a specific project coming before the City. In other words, the City typically provides the appropriate land use designation and rezoning at the time of project site plan approval. However, due to the required Comprehensive Plan Updates required by the end of 2018 to the Metropolitan Council, the Met Council has indicated they would not accept any Comprehensive Plan Amendments after July 1, 2018. This timeline could mean that projects would not get approval for 6 to 9 months, which is not desirable from the City’s standpoint. Several properties are being brought before the Council for reguiding now, with the intention that the project and necessary rezoning would be brought to the City for further review and approval when necessary. The proposed action will allow the City to move projects forward when they are ready without an arbitrary delay in processing. Several communities have contacted the Metropolitan Council about the July 1, 2018 deadline, indicating this could have a detrimental effect on city development. They are taking testimony about the issue and there is some indication that the policy might be modified. However, staff would prefer moving forward on the reguiding now, in the event that no policy change is made. As the Council may be aware, after the City approves the amendment, surrounding governmental agencies have 60 days to comment and then the application is forwarded to the Metropolitan Council for approval. A comprehensive plan amendment cannot be put into effect until the Metropolitan Council grants approval. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION The Rosemount Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 10th to receive public comment on the proposed reguiding of the subject parcels. No comments regarding this item were received from the public at the Planning Commission meeting. The Commission did ask staff about the potential traffic impacts caused by a potential high-density residential development. Staff responded that any proposed development on the site would undergo a site plan review that includes a review of the plans by the City’s Engineering department, including a review of traffic circulation into and within the site. The Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. 2 BACKGROUND Applicant: City of Rosemount Location: North of 160th Street and East of Chippendale Avenue Size: 2.63 Acres Existing Comp Plan Designation: NC-Neighborhood Commercial Proposed Comp Plan Designation: HDR-High Density Residential Existing Zoning: AG-Agriculture Proposed Zoning No Change Proposed The site under consideration (three separate parcels) was created as part of the Geronime Pond Subdivision and rerouting of Chippendale Avenue away from the railroad crossing at 160th Street. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT The applicant has requested a reguiding based on conversations that have taken place between staff and the property owner. In 2008, when the 2030 Comprehensive Plan was adopted, the site’s land use designation was changed from Low Density Residential and Agriculture to Neighborhood Commercial. The reguiding to commercial was in response to the owners request and the market at the time. Within the past year, during the update to the Comprehensive Plan, the property owner had met with staff to discuss reguiding the site back to a residential use. Initially, conversations with the property owner had indicated his desire to construct a medium density project on the site. More recently, the property owner has indicated that the site is well-situated for a higher-density stand-alone residential development as opposed to an attached single-family development. His request is to have the site guided to allow a higher density residential project. Guiding the site as HDR-High Density Residential fits with the goals of the City to disperse high density residential throughout the community and to locate high density residential with access to the collector and arterial street network. From a site standpoint, the property is very isolated from the surrounding developments, given its location next to a Business Park (mini storage) use, County Road 46, and Chippendale Ave. The change from neighborhood commercial to high density residential will also not require modifications to the transportation, water supply, or sanitary sewer sections of the Comprehensive Plan because of the small size of this site. In addition, the City has approved amendments to decrease the overall density within the plan over the last several years. The proposed amendment will help the City maintain its minimum density requirements on a City-wide basis. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Because a HDR-High Density Residential land use designation for this site is in line with the housing goals established by the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, the Planning Commission and staff are recommending approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to reguide the site from NC- Neighborhood Commercial to HDR-High Density Residential. Changing the designation from commercial to a higher density residential use had been previously discussed with the Planning Commission and Council in Comp Plan workshop discussions.
