The proposal is to amend the 2020 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map from the current C-BO (Business Office Park) designation to the R-HD (High Density Residential) designation on approximately 20 acres of land. This property is presently zoned A (Agricultural) and is designated as C-BO (Business Office Park) on the 2020 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. At this time, the applicant is considering developing this property in conjunction with the property to the west, which is designated as R-HD (High Density Residential) on the 2020 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. In order to ensure the designation and zoning of this property is consistent with the adjacent property, the applicant is requesting an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. If the amendment is approved, the applicant will file an application for a rezoning on this site. The Planning Commission considered this proposal at a public hearing on June 26, 2000. The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the proposed Land Use Plan Amendment. A copy of the draft minutes of the June 26, 2000 meeting are attached to this report. f:11rrent Circumstances: The total site consists of approximately 25 acres. The site generally drains to the wetland at the southeast comer of the site. A portion of the site also drains to the wetland to the west. 162b'8<fAg,'g<e~~JR1I)\'B2~~~?~8~~t)gke. Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph, (612) 447-4230 / Falffltt2) 447-4245 fir-; EQ\ 'AL OPPORTl:\JTY E:VIPl.oYER This property has been cropland for several years, although there are some existing trees located in the northeast comer of the site. The site is subject to the provisions of the State Wetland Conservation Act. A specific delineation will be required as part of the development application. Access to this property is presently from McKenna Road off of CSAH 42. As part of the development of this parcel and the property to the west, McKenna Road will be relocated to the west and either a private or public road will be extended to serve this site. The property may also maintain some access from CSAH 42, depending on Scott County approval. Sewer and water services must be extended from the existing services located in CSAH 42 to serve this site. Sewer service presently stops at McKenna Road. Water service must be extended from the Pike Lake Trail intersection or from the CSAH 21 and Carriage Hills Parkway intersection. The extension of this service is planned as part of the CSAH 42 improvement project. This property is currently outside of the MUSA boundary. However, this property is consistent with the criteria for the extension of MUSA as listed in the 2020 Comprehensive Plan (see attached). To the north and west of this property is agricultural land, currently zoned A and designated for Low to Medium Density Residential uses. To the south is the Jeffers property, presently zoned R-l and C-5, and designated as R-L/MD and C-BO. To the east is a single family dwelling on 15 acres, zoned A and designated as C-BO. The Issues: The applicant is proposing to develop this property in conjunction with the property to the west, for a total development of approximately 60 acres. According to the attached letter, the proposed development is a religious/spiritual community, consisting of religious worship, senior housing, community recreation and social space, education, daycare and a conference center. The property to the west is currently designated as R-HD (High Density Residential). This request is consistent with that designation. . The proposed R-HD designation is consistent with the stated goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan in that it offers a variety of housing and it provides for open space and the preservation of the natural elements of the site, and with the City's Livable Community Goal to provide affordable and life-cycle housing. The question here is whether the supply of land planned for future commercial and office park uses should be reduced. There are several large tracts of undeveloped land located both north and south of CSAH 42 planned for commercial and office park. The elimination of this area will not significantly reduce that supply. Furthermore, unless this I: \OOti les\OOcompam\OO-040\00040cc.doc Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT: ALTERNATIVES: RECOMMENDED MOTION: REVIEWED BY: tract of land is developed in conjunction with the land to the east, the access to this site is more conducive to the R-HD designation than to the C-BO designation. Finally, the terrain of this site lends itself better to a residential or mixed use development. Conclusion: The Comprehensive Plan amendment to the R-HD designation is consistent with the stated goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan in that it offers a variety of housing types and provides for open space and the preservation of the natural elements of the site. The R-HDdesignation is also consistent with the City's Livable Community goal to provide affordable and life-cycle housing. The Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of this request. Budget Impact: There is no direct budget impact involved in this request. Approval of this request may facilitate the development of this property, and increase the City tax base. The City Council has three alternatives: 1. Adopt Resolution OO-XX approving the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the R-HD designation as recommended by the Planning Commission. 2. Direct the staff to prepare a resolution with findings of fact denying the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the R-HD designation. 3. Continue the review for specific information or reasons per City Council discussion. Alternative #1. A motion and second to adopt Resolution OO-XX approving the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to designate this property as R-HD is required.

The current land use designation for this parcel is "urban high density" west of McKenna Road and "business office park" east of McKenna Road. Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church requests that the parcel of land east of McKenna Road be changed to urban high density. This change would designate the entire parcel of land described in the legal description as urban high density. The proposed use of this land is for the development of a religious/spiritual community. The components of the development would be religious worship, senior housing, community recreation and social space, education, daycare (child and senior), and conferencing. The proposed reconstruction of County Road 42 will modify the current McKenna Road intersection to a right-in and right-out for westbound traffic only. The limited access would make the proposed business office park land use east of McKenna difficult to access. The remaining business office park land use area east of this parcel will have frontage on and access to the proposed northerly extension of Highway 21. The City's intent of business office park land use on three of the four comers of the County Road 42 and Highway 21 intersection is maintained with our proposal. The proposed change in land use creates a consistent land use for the parcel described herein and provides for a transitional zoning between the existing urban low density and the business office park.

Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church has filed an application for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the property located on the north side of CSAH 42 and east and west of McKenna Road, about 1/8 mile west of CSAH 21. The proposal is to amend the 2020 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map from the current C-BO (Business Office Park) designation to the R-HD (High Density Residential) designation on approximately 20 acres of land.

Rye Comments from the public: Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church, Senior Pastor Steye Jlqschig,introduced Shepherd's Path Development Chief Financial Officer KerrnitMahlum and Steve Erickson with BWBR Architects. Mr. Erickson pointed out theistaffreport was consistent with all the discussions of the appIic~tand City. The priJ.nary reason for the request is based on the functions envisioned for the site... lIe felt they were more consistent with the high density residential uses. Ericksoiiexplained the concept project. The first phase would be a worship facility. Th~()ther components would be elderly housing, perhaps a social recreatiopa1 area and retreat center. They intend to use the DNR wetland as a focu~..for the property where tl1e buildings would surround the wetland area. The first phase (church facility) would start in approximately one year. Criego commented on the parking and the elderly housing. Pastor H~chig explaiped one option 'Yould be to sell the present site and move everything over to then~w property or maintain the two sites. Those decisions would be maqeiIl the next six months by the congregation. September of 2002 would be the moving target date. Erickson distributed the/concept brochures to the Commissioners. Paul Oberg, the ~~ecutor of the estate of Robert Jeffers, stated he supported staffs recommendation and hoped to develop their land in a complementary way to Shepherd of the Lake. Bill Rudnicki, Tribal Administrator for the Shakopee Sioux Community, stated they will oppose the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. One concern is for spot zoning. It was their understanding County Road 21 will develop to the north. Under the current zoning, the area has a business office designation. This area is a major intersection and it is important to retain the present zoning designation. Their other concern is with the realignment of McKenna Road that currently serves their residential area with 60 homes.
