Community Management Plan Conformity; CMP Amendment <br /> 1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File#LA21-000014 <br /> 2. The Property is currently zoned RR-1B One Family Rural Residential Zoning District, <br /> requiring a minimum residential lot size of 2.0 acres. The property consists of <br /> approximately 3.69 acres exclusive of existing road right-of-ways. <br /> 3. The proposed use of the Property for residential development at a density of 10 units per <br /> acre is inconsistent with the Orono 2018-2040 CMP guiding of the Property for residential <br /> development at a density of 20-25 units per acre. The Developer has applied for an <br /> amendment of the CMP to reguide the Property to allow development at a density of 10 <br /> units per acre. <br /> 4. The proposed development is directly adjacent to Wayzata Blvd, and it was determined <br /> that higher density residential development would not be appropriate given area uses and <br /> the desire to spread out high density uses through-out the community and not concentrate <br /> them in small areas. <br /> 5. The City Council has reviewed the development proposal with regards to the CMP and <br /> finds that it meets a number of goals for housing as established within the Housing element <br /> of the CMP,including: <br /> • Provides opportunities for a mix of housing types, locations, and cost ranges <br /> which will meet the needs and provide adequate housing for a broader range of <br /> ages, family groups, lifestyle needs and levels of income to the greatest extent <br /> practical. <br /> • Provides housing types and residential densities consistent with environmental <br /> and land use plans and with the availability of public services and facilities. <br /> • Extends the character of the Stonebay neighborhood with attached family <br /> densities <br /> B. Rezoning from RR-1B to RPUD <br /> 6. The Property is located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and is <br /> intended to be developed using municipal sewer and water.
