Request by Akron 42, LLC. for a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment and a Major Amendment to the Prestwick Place Planned Unit Development Senior Planner Nemcek discussed the request from the owner of the land north of County Road 42 on either side of Akron Avenue is requesting a Major Amendment to the Prestwick Place Planned Unit Development that was approved in 2007 and also proposing a Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment to change the designated land use of a portion of the western parcel from CC- ROSEMOUNT CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING PROCEEDINGS AUGUST 16, 2022 Community Commercial to HDR-High Density Residential. The proposed amendment would remove the two parcels from the scope of Commercial Area Guidelines contained within the 2007 Prestwick Place Planned Unit Development Agreement and essentially create a blank slate for the two parcels. The second component of the applicant’s request, the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment, would allow for residential development in the northern portion of the western parcel, while maintaining the CC-Community Commercial land use designation for the southern eleven acres of the site. Mr. Nemcek noted this request is consistent with the County Road 42 Commercial Vision that was developed in 2021 and would help attract commercial development at the crucial intersection of County Road 42 and Akron Avenue. The Planning Commission felt that the amount of residential development that is occurring in the vicinity was enough to support the amount of land designated for commercial development, and that without a project tied to the change in the land use designation the commission voted unanimously to recommend denial of the request to amend the Comprehensive Land Use Designation. However, the Commission did vote unanimously to recommend approval of the Major Amendment to the Prestwick Place Planned Unit Development. Councilmember Freske’s concern is that there is no application at this time and questioned the total number of acreage available for commercial at the Akron/County road 42 quaderant. The applicant stated only a concept has been received at this time. Councilmember Block confirmed the guidance change this evening would only be for the the norther portion of county road 42 and confirmed the developer would still have to present plans for any potential residential housing the developer is considering. Councilmember Block is in support of the current changes proposed this evening, but noted she will not support any additional residential in this area in the future as she has received feedback from residents regarding opposing additional residential housing. Councilmember Weisensel questioned how much of the site is buildable; due to an easement, the proposal for residential is further south to accomdate the easement. The applicant, Melissa Duce of Lennar, was present and discussed the vision for the area. Items noted; the vision is consistant with Council’s strategic goals, Rosemount still needs to increase residential growth in order to have successful commercial in the area and there is still 40 acres left for commercial at this area. Councilmember Essler expressed support for the applicant based on the previous studies completed with Perkins & Will for this area and the market will dictate what will work in this area. Mayor Droste opened up the floor at 7:50 p.m. for public comments as members of the public were present. ROSEMOUNT CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING PROCEEDINGS AUGUST 16, 2022 Brad Garms 14262 Ailsebury Court Mr. Garms expressed his concern for the proposed high density for minimal commercial development and the concern for residents to have less commercial opportunity in the future. Nick Labelle 14260 Ailsebury Court Mr. Labelle expressed his concern for residents not being able to spend money in Rosemount and the need for additional commercial uses.

The preliminary plat provides one large parcel to accommodate the athletic facility and several smaller outlots that will contain future development and stormwater management. The applicant was present to answer operational questions, noting; the current cost of construction has significantly increased in the last 18 months, however Life Time makes a commitment to open 12 new facilities each year, given the current market he believes starting next spring or fall may make the most sense.
