This section discusses density requirements for the community. The <br /> proposed text amendment language is provided below. The language has been vetted by <br /> Metropolitan Council and they support the proposed language. <br /> "Land guided for High Density south of Highway 96 and 10 density may be increased by up to <br /> 100% through the use of the Planned Unit Development(PUD)process if the intent is to meet the <br /> goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
