CITY OF ORONO MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: May 10, 2021 <br />TO: Mayor Walsh, City Council <br />FROM: Jeremy Barnhart, AICP, Community Development Director <br />RE: Density Tiers <br /> <br /> <br />In April, the City Council provided additional guidance with respect to desired changes to the <br />Comprehensive Plan, introducing additional land use categories that provide densities between <br />existing densities. <br /> <br />One option is to introduce two new land use categories, one with density 15-20, and the other 8- <br />9.99. Without expanding the MUSA, or increasing density elsewhere, we maintain adequate <br />levels of density, growth opportunity, and affordable housing: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The attached table shows the impacted properties, including Dumas, Eisinger Flats, and 2060 <br />Wayzata (the apartment proposal reviewed last month), and many potential redevelopment <br />parcels in Navarre. <br /> <br />If supported staff recommends the Council direct staff to initiate a formal amendment, to be <br />reviewed by the Planning Commission, Council, and ultimately, the Met Council. <br /> <br />2021-2030 2031-2040 2021-2030 2031-2040 <br />590 272 269 437 <br />225 340 225 340 <br />365 -68 43.61 96.93 <br />Density (Units/ acres) <br />Total units <br />Required # units <br />Difference <br />Provided <br />Required (Table 3B-6, as amended) <br />Difference <br />Growth <br />Affordable Housing (acres guided for 8 units or <br />more) <br />Current (up to Amend <br />#5)Comp Plan Change Dashboard <br />154 <br />605 <br />63.39 <br />602.07 <br />154 <br />448.07 <br />3.70 3.03 <br />With adjustments as <br />noted <br />63.39 <br />759
