detached single-family development. As a result, the City can focus on the vacant agricultural property <br /> with the Medium Density Residential and if it wishes, could revise the proposed allowed density. <br /> For context,the Watermark development has a net density of 3.40 units/acre. We also surveyed 2040 <br /> Comprehensive Plans of neighboring communities and found the following proposed ranges for medium <br /> density residential: <br /> • Hugo <br /> o Medium 3-6 units per net acre (up to 8 units per net acre with a PUD) <br /> • Lino Lakes <br /> o Medium 4.0 to 5.9 units per acre <br /> • Forest Lake <br /> o Low-Medium: 3 to 6 units per acre <br /> o Medium 6 to 10 units per acre <br /> • Blaine <br /> o Low-Medium: 2.5 to 12 units per acre <br /> o Medium: 6-12 units per acre <br /> • Shoreview <br /> o Medium: 4 to 8 units per acre <br /> • Vadnais Heights <br /> o Medium: 5 to 9 units per acre <br /> Recommendation <br /> Currently, Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission and City Council have a discussion <br /> regarding the medium density residential district and its allowed density range. Staff has provided <br /> proposed revised densities and is supportive of a reduction in the allowed density based on the <br /> following: <br /> 1. Development of the Waterworks site. <br /> 2. Based on the forecast provided by the Metropolitan Council the City is not under any additional <br /> pressure to allow added density. <br /> 3. Comment provided from the City of Lino Lakes regarding adjacent land uses. <br /> 4. Implication for Park Dedication Fees, SAC/WAC, etc. <br /> 5. Review of actual densities for Low Density developments in process in Centerville and Lino <br /> Lakes. <br /> 6. Review of neighboring cities "medium density" ranges. <br /> 7. Centerville's PUD ordinance allows flexibility to permit higher densities than would otherwise be <br /> permitted. <br /> Staff would recommend a revised allowed density ranges as follows: <br /> 45 <br />
