Dunbar, President <br />Dunbar Development Corporation <br />5000 Glenwood Avenue, Suite 200 <br />Minneapolis, MN 55422-5146 <br />Re: Proposed development at Brown Road/US 12 <br />Dear Mr. Dunbar: <br />As we discussed on Monday, your proposal for senior housing and an office building on the Rebers <br />site poses a number of planning challenges for tlie City, in terms of requiring the creation of a new <br />zoning district and performance standards. This is not in and of itself a problem, but the schedule <br />necessary to arrive at final project approvals prior to the end of the year may be difficult. <br />Your proposal will require the following applications: <br />1.A request for an amendment of the zoning chapter to create a new zoning district to allow <br />the proposed senior housing use. City staff will draft an amendment that creates a new <br />zoning district with performance standards to accomplish this intended use. For the moment <br />for discussion purposes we will name this potential district "MFSR" (Multi-Family Senior <br />Residential). However, we are also contemplating a single new PUD district that allows both <br />office and certain multi-family residential as permitted uses. <br />2.A request for rczoning of the property. <br />3.A request for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the guide plan for this area <br />from strictly commercial to allowing multi-family residential under specified circumstances, <br />as a conditional use and most likely as a PUD/PRD. <br />4. <br />5. <br />A request for subdivision (platting) of the site into two separate tax parcels (and to eliminate <br />the current Outlot status of the property). <br />A request for conditional use permit to develop the entire site as a PUD/PRD with MFSR <br />as the underlying district for the residential portion and B-6 Highway Commvrcial District <br />as the underlying district for the office portion. <br />Telephone (952) 249-4600 • Fax (952) 249-4616 <br />www.ci.orono.mn.us
