1b. Minnewashta CreekPC DATE: June 19, 2012 CC DATE: July 23, 2012 REVIEW DEADLINE: NA CASE #: 2012 -04 -4 BY: REG lb PROPOSED MOTION: The Planning Commission recommends City Council approve the attached ordinance rezoning the Planned Unit Development — Residential to incorporate the development standards for Minnewashta Creek and adopt the attached Findings of Fact and Recommendation. CITY OF CHANHASSEN SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The City is requesting an amendment to the Planned Unit Development — Residential (PUD -R) zoning on the property to incorporate the unique development standards for the project as well as referencing the Residential Low and Medium Density District (RLM) in the zoning ordinance. The City references an underlying standard zoning district to address issues that are not covered within the specific PUD -R zoning of the property. LOCATION: Minnewashta Creek First Addition, Minnewashta Creek Second Addition, Minnewashta Creek Third Addition, and Minnewashta Creek Hill APPLICANT: City of Chanhassen 7700 Market Boulevard P. O. Box 147 Chanhassen, MN 55317 (952) 227 -1100 PRESENT ZONING: Planned Unit Development — Residential (PUD -R) MINNEWASHTA CREEK S RESIDENTIAL PUD b 3 m� m ood C42P D 2020 LAND USE PLAN: Residential Low Density (net density 1.2 — 4 units per acre) ACREAGE: 18 acres DENSITY: net: 2.55 units per acre LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION - MAKING: The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving rezonings, PUDs and amendments to PUDs because the City is acting in its legislative or policy - making capacity. A rezoning or PUD, and amendment thereto, must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS Except as modified by the specific Planned Unit Development — Residential ordinance, the property shall comply with the requirements of the City of Chanhassen City Code. Planning Commission Minnewashta Creek PUD Amendment & Rezoning June 19, 2012 Page 2 of 5 BACKGROUND The City approved a development contract as the regulating document for this development. The final development includes single - family homes. On May 5, 1976, the plat of Minnewashta Creek First Addition was filed with Carver County. It created three (3) lots and two (2) outlots. Lot 1, Block 1 contained a single - family home. Lots 1 and 2, Block 2, were created for single - family homes. Outlot A was reserved for future subdivision and Outlot B was created to act as a beachlot. On April 26, 1979, the plat of Minnewashta Creek Second Addition was filed with Carver County. This subdivision re- platted Outlot A, Minnewashta Creek First Addition into 36 lots to house single - family homes. The lot areas ranged from 12,665 square feet to 38,850 square feet with an average lot size of 18,899 square feet. On May 28, 1982, the plat of Minnewashta Creek Third Addition was filed with Carver County. This subdivision re- platted the most westerly six lots of the Minnewashta Creek Second Addition into twelve (12) twin -home lots. Two of these lots were consolidated and contain a single - family home. This subdivision reduced the average lot size for Minnewashta Creek Second Addition from 18,899 square feet to 16,594 square feet. On November 28, 2005, the City approved a three -lot subdivision with a variance for the use of a private street, re- platting Lot 1, Block 1, Minnewashta Creek First Addition. REZONING The City is requesting to rezone approximately 18 acres to Planned Unit Development - Residential (PUD -R) to incorporate the unique development standards and referencing the Residential Low and Medium Density District (RLM). The project consists of 36 single - family attached units, 10 twin -home units and a recreational beachlot. The review criteria are taken from the intent section of the PUD Ordinance. Section 20 -501. Intent Planned unit developments offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of most normal zoning district standards. The use of the PUD in this instance is to a mix of attached and detached housing units. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility, the City has the expectation that the development plan will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than would have been the case with the other more standard zoning districts. The proposed development provides a compatible development with the surrounding development. Planning Commission Minnewashta Creek PUD Amendment & Rezoning June 19, 2012 Page 3 of 5 The proposed amendment and rezoning assist in the furtherance of the following land use goals of the City of Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan: • Development will be encouraged within the MUSA line. • The plan should seek to establish sufficient land to provide a full range of housing opportunities. • The city will seek opportunities to provide transitions between different uses of different types. • Development should be phased in accordance with the ability of the city to provide services. The proposed amendment and rezoning assist in the furtherance of the following housing goals of the City of Chanhassen Comprehensive Plan: • A balanced housing supply with housing available for people of all income levels. • A variety of housing types for people in all stages of the life - cycle. • Housing development that respects the natural environment of the community while striving to accommodate the need for a variety of housing types and costs. Staff is proposing the following development standards regulating the development of the property: Minnewashta Creek First Addition, Minnewashta Creek Second Addition, Minnewashta Creek Third Addition, and Minnewashta Creek Hill Zoning Standards: a. Intent The purpose of this zone is to create a PUD for single - family houses. The use of the PUD zone is to allow for more flexible design standards while creating a higher quality and more sensitive proposal. The PUD requires that the development demonstrate a higher quality of architectural standards and site design. Except as modified by the Minnewashta Creek First Addition, Minnewashta Creek Second Addition, Minnewashta Creek Third Addition, and Minnewashta Creek Hill PUD ordinance, the development shall comply with the requirements of the Residential Low and Medium Density District (RLM). b. Permitted Uses The permitted uses in this zone shall be single - family attached or detached residential development and their ancillary uses. The attached single - family units shall be limited to Planning Commission Minnewashta Creek PUD Amendment & Rezoning June 19, 2012 Page 4 of 5 Minnewashta Creek Third Addition. If there is a question as to whether or not a use meets the definition, the Planning Director shall make that interpretation. The beachlot located on Outlot B, Minnewashta Creek First Addition as specified in the Conditional Use Permit approved in 1979 and Non - Conforming Use Permit 92 -1 is an accessory use. C.
