ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS TO AGENDA PRESENTATIONS, PROCLAMATIONS, & ACKNOWLEDGMENTS PUBLIC COMMENT CONSENT AGENDA PUBLIC HEARINGS UNFINISHED BUSINESS NEW BUSINESS 9.a. Canada Circle City of Rosemount Comprehensive Plan Amendment Request for Properties at Canada Circle Senior Planner Klatt provided an overview of the Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment which will facilitate future development of the Canada Circle property. Due to the fact that Comprehensive Plan Updates are 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. Klatt informed Council that several cities have expressed their concern regarding the July 1, 2018 deadline and Klatt is indicating staff will be requesting an extension of this deadline. Staff is being proactive and recommending amendments to the Comprehensive Guide Plan now for development sites that could be impacted by the delay. Once Council approves any amendments, 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. Staff is currently reviewing three specific amendments that have been brought before the council this evening in order to fully review and take the time to discuss each item. Klatt discussed in further detail the first of the three amendments; the Canada Circle property and changing its designation 6.b. ROSEMOUNT CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING PROCEEDINGS April 16, 2018 from RC-Regional Commercial to BP-Business Park along State Highway 3 just south of County Road 42. The area is a combination of land owned by the City and the City’s Port Authority. Currently, the land is designated for light industrial-type building. The Council is being asked to reguide the entire site to Business Park. The Business Park land use designation is most consistent with the intended use of the future purchaser. Motion by Weisensel Second by DeBettignies Motion to Approve Resolution amending the 2030 Rosemount Comprehensive Plan to change the future land use designation of the Canada Circle properties from RC-Regional Commercial to BP-Business Park. Ayes: 5. Nays: 0. 9.b. McMenomy City of Rosemount Comprehensive Plan Amendment Request for Properties North of 160th Street and East of Chippendale Avenue Senior Planner Klatt provided an overview of the second of the three Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendments. The property being discussed for this item is the McMenomy Property north of 160th Street and East of Chippendale Avenue. Currently the land is designated for NC-Neighborhood Commercial and staff is proposing it be changed to HDR-High Density Residential based on the changes in the area i.e. relocation of State Highway 3 and per the property owners preference to make the area more marketable. This land designation change would set this site up to allow for proposals for an apartment or other high density developments. Motion by Weisensel Second by Freske 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. Ayes: 5. Nays: 0. 9.c. Opus and UMore Business Park City of Rosemount Comprehensive Plan Amendment Request for UMore Business Park – Opus and General UMore Parcels. Senior Planner Klatt provided an overview of the final Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment. The final property being discussed for this item is the Opus Site and UMore Site located east of Dakota County Technical College and Audrey Avenue, west of Vic’s Crane, and north of 152nd Street East approximately 600 acres. Currently the land is designated for AGR – Agricultural Research and staff is proposing it be changed to BP – Business Park. One reason for this proposed change is the City’s draft 2040 land use plan calls for Business Park development over large portions of the UMore property east of DCTC. This amendment would support the potential sale and development of this property before the 2040 plan is adopted. ROSEMOUNT CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING PROCEEDINGS April 16, 2018 Motion by Weisensel Second by Nelson Motion to adopt a resolution approving an amendment to the 2030 Rosemount Comprehensive Plan to change the future land use designation of approximately 160 acres in the northeast portion of the UMore property from AGR – Agricultural Research to BP – Business Park and to further expand the MUSA to include the subject property (Opus). Ayes: 5. Nays: 0. Motion by Weisensel Second by DeBettignies Motion to adopt a resolution approving an amendment to the 2030 Rosemount Comprehensive Plan to change the future land use designation of approximately 314 acres of the UMore property immediately east of the Dakota County Technical College and north of 152nd Street East from AGR – Agricultural Research to BP – Business Park and to further expand the MUSA to include the subject property (UMore).
