On September 9, the City Council requested staff to further evaluate whether the five Mixed Use districts could be simplified and/or combined. � Histo A 6-month development moratorium was approved by the City Council per Ordinance 113-05 on March 16 through September 16 to allow further study of approximately 1,100 acres along the County Highway 42 corridor in Prior Lake. In April and May the staff prepared a RFP and selected an engineer to assist in this study. WSB and the City held an open house for property owners on Tuesday, June 4. A joint meeting was also held on June 17 to allow the city's consultant to provide preliminary conclusions on this corridor to the City Council, Planning Commission and EDA. A final presentation by WSB was given to the City Council at a Work Session on July 22 before submitting its final report to the city. Current Circumstances City staff outlined a process to complete the full review and approval process to include the Planning Commission, City Council and Metropolitan Council:: August 12 ... City Council resolution directing the Planning Com- mission to conduct a public hearing. August 20 ... Letter sent notifying adjacent communities/jurisdic- tions. August 21 ... Legal notice sent to newspaper for public hearing. Sept. 3... Planning Commission holds public hearing. Sept. 9... City Council considers WSB Report and Comprehen- sive Plan amendments; extends the moratorium through December, but removed some parcels from moratorium. Oct. 28 ... City Council reconsiders WSB Report and Compre- hensive Plan amendments with simplified Mixed Use districts. Oct. 31 ... Submit application to the Met Council (assuming all adjacent community responses have been received). Dec. 31 ... 60-day review period by the Met Council ends (unless further extended). City staff and its consultant discussed and debated changing the five pro- posed Mixed Use districts to one (or some number less than five). For ex- ample, one Mixed Use district would have a common land use percentage division as follows: (1) low density residential = 40%; (2) medium density residential = 25%; (3) high density residential = 5%; and (4) commercial = 30%. Because each of the five geographic areas comprising 590 acres is unique in terms of ownership, location/access and land character, staff is proposing that they still remain in the text of the report and Comprehensive Plan. A good reason for retaining the five area descriptions would be the `South Vierling" property of 66 acres at the southeast corner of County High- ways 21 and 42. Rather than this key commercial area supporting 25% me- dium density, 25% high density and 50% commercial as originally proposed, this area would be guided for less commercial and more single family resi- dential. Staff also believes that it received strong support from property owners to achieve the land use percentages for each of the five distinct ar- eas (i.e., Vierling's and SMSC). In order to simplify the proposed land use districts as directed by the council, staff is proposing the following changes: 1. The "Mixed Use" label would be changed to "Planned Use" to differ- entiate the County Highway 42 corridor from other more traditional high density, transit oriented mixed use areas in the Twin Cities. 2. On the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map, only one Planned Use designation (and color) would be shown. 3. In the Comprehensive Plan, text would still identify the expected ap- proximate land use percentages for each of the five areas. They would no longer be identified as individual Mixed Use districts, but rather, subareas under one Planned Use District. 4. When addressing implementation of the Planned Use areas, the city should require that a concept or general development plan must be provided by any developer for each of the five subareas in order to assure that final build-out conforms to the land use percentages. The developer could proceed to develop property using a Planned Unit Development (preferred), or a standard zoning district; either way, a concept or general development plan must first be approved by the city. The first attachment provides an overall summary of the proposed changes to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, including conclusions related to land uses, zoning districts and transportation. Unlike the 2030 Plan, further recognition is being given to land that is owned by SMSC and land that is in some type of public or semi-public use. Those same recognitions will likely carry forth to all of Prior Lake when the city begins the 2040 comprehensive planning process. 2 The second attachment provides the final report by WSB & Associates, which becomes the basis for proposing amendments to the 2030 Compre- hensive Plan. The consultant's analysis demonstrates that a plan amend- ment is warranted due to changes in the community since 2005, including such things as the County Highway 21 connection to CSAH 42, the elimina- tion of previously approved plans such as Summit Preserve, additional land acquisitions by SMSC, and the need to re-examine input from property own- ers and the public due to recent economic changes. The third and fourth attachments identify specific amendments proposed in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. These relate to two sections in the Plan, in- cluding: • Chapter 3. Land Use Element • Chapter 5. Transportation Conclusion Staff will review proposed changes at the council meeting. If the City Coun- cil is now comfortable with these modifications, it should approve the amendments and forward them to the Metropolitan Council for its review and approval. ISSUES: In order to submit any proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments to the Met Council for consideration this year, a decision will be needed by the City Council. Staff has attempted to simplify the previous five Mixed Use dis- !, tricts into one common (Planned Use) district, while at the same time, pre- ' serving the uniqueness of each area. FINANCIAL By reducing the overall amount of land use designated for Commercial and IMPACT: Business Park, the city may receive less in future property taxes. On the other hand, the property may develop more quickly if the re-guiding more accurately reflects the short and long term market needs and city desires. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Motion and a second to adopt the 2013 County Highway 42 Study Land Use and Transportation Plan, approve amendments to the 2030 Com- prehensive Plan for immediate submission to the Metropolitan Council. 2. Motion and a second to deny adopting the study, approving the amend- � ments, and/or extending the moratorium. 3. Motion and second to table action and request staff to provide additional information as directed by the Council. RECOMMENDED Staff recommends Alternative #1 MOTION: ATTACHMENTS: 1.
