4 Stantec 2335 Highway 36 West, St. Paul MN 55113 Memorandum DATE: July 12, 2017 TO: Centerville City Council FROM: Phil Carlson, AICP, Stantec, Senior Planner; and Mark Statz, P.E., City Engineer RE: Peltier Estates - Rezoning and Preliminary Plat lflhrodu IIa� � & Sur"rur"fTaly all� �ddIa� �s Todd Christianson has applied for a rezoning and preliminary plat for Peltier Estates, fronting 20th Avenue in the NE corner of the City. Summary information and recommendations are as follows, which are detailed later in this memorandum. 1) Requests. Two requests are being considered - a rezoning and a preliminary plat. Although applied for together, the requests should be acted on separately - at separate meetings if the Council wishes. An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is not needed. 2) Rezoning. I recommend approval of the rezoning to R -2A High Density Single -Family Residential from R-1 /Rural Residential. 3) Comp Plan. The City's Comprehensive Plan guides the property for Low/Medium Density Residential. The R -2A zoning district is clearly a low density residential district. Basic planning policy and practice is that the zoning should follow the comprehensive plan and this request accomplishes that. 4) 60 -Day Rule -Rezoning. Per State statute, the rezoning application must be acted on within 60 days of the date of application, June 2, 2017. That deadline expires August 1, 2017. If the Council does not act on the request tonight it could: a. Continue the item to a City Council meeting before August 1 for a decision. b. Continue the item and instruct staff to inform the applicant in writing that the City is extending the deadline an additional 60 days as allowed under State statute because the Council wishes to have more time to discuss and decide the issue. c. I recommend extending the deadline so that the Council can act at a later date. ua ° ign W11,1h c orni°yluurilhliin rni ir1
