TO
RESOLUTION NO. 2022-038
The Comprehensive Plan Amendment language identified in red font is as follows:
Furthermore, the remaining vacant residential land that is south of Highway 96 and 10 is
guided for development that could be built at a density of an average of five residential
units per acre. Land guided for High Density east of Interstate 35W, south of County
State Aid Highway 96, west of-US-Trffnk Mighiswy Snelling Avenue North and north of
interstate 694 density may be increased by up to 100%through the use of the Planned
Unit Development (PUD)process if the intent is to meet the goals of the Comprehensive
Plan. The City Code includes PUD regulations that allow for a higher quality and
compatible development of property by encouraging reasonable flexibility from
applicable standards, including at higher densities than would be allowed under the
underlying zoning district and/or guided land use designation. The City has utilized
PUDs and PUD Overlays for many residential and commercial developments, which is a
trend that is likely to continue into the future given the limited size and amount of land
available for new development and potential redevelopment east of Interstate 35W, south
of County State Aid Highway 96, west of US Trunk High way 10 Snelling Avenue North
and north of interstate 694.
