B- STONEBAY MARKETPLACE NARRATIVE Community Management Plan Amendment We are requesting an amendment to the Community Management Plan to allow retail uses on this 3.69*acre parcel. The property is currently vacant, but was recently platted as OuL'c* A Stonebay The applicant Is now proposing to provide a mix of retail, service and office uses at this location. The commercial uses would complete this intersectcn, which has ratal commercial uses at the other three quadrants and would provide neiohborhocd convenience commerdal uses for the community. The property was recently reviewed as part of the City's recent Ccmmcnity Management Plan update. The City has indicated a desire f:r office uses on th.e comnierclal portion of this site and has suggested that this proper:/ be developed in a yNay that does not compete with the retail uses in downtown Long Lake. Our ana^ys:s shows that the area would not support the amount of office the City planned for the sit«- however, some retail commercial could be provided to serve this neighborhood and provide retail uses that are not planned or available In Long Lake. V/e are proposing to limit the commercial uses In StoneBay to this outlet. No addition retail is planned w^'-Jn the StoneBay development. The mix of residential homes approved in StoneBay and the proposed commercial land uses would allow for the creation of a truly walkable community that would be an asset the aty^o^Long Lake^"^ complement the existing and planned development in We respectfully r^uest approval of an amendment to the Corr.rr,unity Management Plan to allow retail uses in this area when approved as part of a PUD based on the finding that amendment would comply with the spirit and intent of e.e City's Community Marwgement Plan, would aflow development of this vacant site, would provide limited retail to serve the neighborhood and would allow development of the mixed use StoneBay development as originally proposed. Rezoning CurrenUy. the property is zoned Single Family Rural Residential (RH-1B) This zonLna IS not consistent with City s Comprehensive Plan. We are requesting approval of a rezoning to Highway Commercial District (B-6) with a PUD overlay district as requir*^d by the original StoneBay development approvals. This rezoning would be consistent t with the existing land use p'an and the requested land use guide plan amendment The v..- • rezonirig would also be consistent with the Section 10.52 of the Zoning Ordinance which identifies the requirements for rezoning in the Highway 12 Corridor Study Area ^ \ Specifically: ' ' I ^ : 650 BUTLER NORTH BO'LCi.NG 5?0 ciRST AVENUE NORTH MN.NEAPOi S.
