CMP amendment The entire property has been zoned B-1 since ^ least 1967, |xrhaps earlier. To rezone the eas; pioperty would require changing the land use designation to rcsidential. Tlie 62 unit building on the 4 acre site would provide 15.5 units'acre of senior housing units at a variety of unit sizes and reniul rates. Ilic proposed Rl’UD zoning district would be the appropriate zoning district to pnivide die units/acre density requested. Section 10.33. Subdivision 5(E) in the proposed R1»UD district would allow the City ofOrono to provide inceniis cs to encourage projects which are consistent with housing goals. “Incentives may include modification of density and floor area ratio requiremcnb for developments providing lifecycle housing and low and moderate cost housing.’ The City has tlie ability to ensure the housing need, for lifecxclc housing, is met. The RPUD district would rely heavily on the CMP designation for housing density and the ahility of the developer to meet the housing needs of the community. The office use would not require a CMP amendment as the underlying land u.se designation is for commercial use. The property is proposed as a 2.7 acre site. The use of the property as officc/clinic would be pemiittcd under the B-6 di.strict should the Council approve an amendment to the pennitted uses in the B-6 district to permit clinic uses. Platting Process This review is at the preliminar>’ plat/general concept stage. A complete rc\ iew of the preliminary plat will require review and approval of the proposed site plans. 1 he plat would result in two lots. Lot I (west property) = 116,832 s.f. or + 2.7 acres Lot 2 (cast property) = 173,871 s.f. ori 4.0 acres The preliminary plat review falls under the standard platting procedures as established in the Subdivision Ordinance, but would not be approved until sometime after the City and Developer have entered into a financing and development agreement. Additional requirements may be imposed by the City on non-residential subdivisions to protect adjacent rcsidential areas front potential nuisance from a proposed conimcrcial/office development including for provisions lor a permanently landscaped buffer strip if necessary. Additional special requirements ma\ be imposed to protect the rcsidential areas surrounding the development. The developer has propo.scd to plat the senior housing project as condominiums. Each unit would hav e a separate legal description and ta.x statement. Under this type of plat the units wxjuld be owned by a non-profit agency and rented to the occupants under the agreements established for the building. Surrounding Land Use The subject parcel was platted as Outlet F. Sugarwoods the parcel immediately south of the Sugarw oods neighborhood. The only buffer between the residential use in Sugarwwxls is a 40* wide platted outlet that is owned by the Sugarwoods homeowners association. Restrictions were placed on each lot within the Sugarwtx>ds neighborhood that prohibits removal of trees greater than 2" in diameter within the rear setback for those lots located closest to the proposed development. The property is located on Highway 12 and the City of Long Lake is located south of Highway 12. Two lots that arc located west of the project are developed as the Orono Shopping Center and Conoco gas station. Orono Aflitaf. LLC 2060 W a> rju Boulo ltd •2640/V264I
