FILE #22-000015 <br />April 18, 2022 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br />Application materials provided by the applicant refine the actual development area, and show <br />7.95 acres in the low density area, and 7.76 acres in the high density area. This adjustment <br />yields 179 units for the area, and drops the calculated density to 3.05. <br /> <br />The proposal, with 180 units on 15.91 net residential acres results in a Calculated Density of <br />3.058. This is important because the city’s density, affordable house, and housing unit goals are <br />still met, even with slightly lower densities. <br /> <br />Zoning. The project is anticipated to be developed under the RPUD zoning district. The RPUD <br />district was developed to accommodate these types of development, and the Council may grant <br />flexibility from the standards outlined. The RPUD ordinance does require a 250’ setback from <br />the OHWL of Lake Classen (974). The nearest principle structure is approximately 290 feet from <br />the OHW, and the nearest accessory building is approximately 220 feet. A variance may be <br />required after these distances are verified. The analysis below outlines the standards and <br />flexibilities requested. <br /> <br /> <br />Applicable Regulations: <br />Chapter 78, Division 11, RPUD Residential Planned Unit Development District <br /> 78-627 (a) Concept Plan Review <br />Chapter 82, Article III, Plat approval Process <br /> <br />Section Standard Conforming? <br />1 (1) Minimum area: 5 acres or certain <br />exceptions… <br />The property to be platted is 30.5 acres. <br />Conforming <br />2 Uses. Multifamily residential uses are permitted. <br />Conforming <br />3 Sewer availability Conforming <br />4 Density. Each development in the <br />RPUD district shall have a density <br />within the range specified in the <br />comprehensive plan for the specific <br />site. <br />The shifting of the densities will require <br />comprehensive plan amendment, with no <br />impact to the Met Councils requirements. <br />5 Incentives. The city may utilize <br />incentives to encourage the <br />construction of projects which are <br />consistent with the city's housing goals. <br />None requested. <br />6 Floor Ratio, up to 1.0 To be verified, appears to be well less than 0.5. <br />7a Setbacks. Setbacks are 50’ to Wayzata <br />Blvd, 501’ to Highway 12, 35’ to the <br />sides. Drive lanes 20’ from exterior <br />property lines. <br />The plans reflect a setback of 50 feet for a <br />principal structure (off of Wayzata Blvd) and 30 <br />feet for the accessory garages (off of Wayzata <br />and Highway 12. Flexibility is requested. <br />7b Height, stories, roof style No calculation have been done, but the <br />conceptual buildings appear to be 2 or 2.5 <br />stories. They are expected to comply.
