April 6, 2021 Centerville Planning & Zoning Commission Page 3 of 10 RE: Belleville Landing Apartments – Land Use Plan Amendment, Rezoning, PUD/CUP, Site Plan Review REQUESTS Land Use Plan Amendment The City’s current Land Use Plan guides this lot and the entire Rehbein parcel as Commercial, as st illustrated below. The land uses in Lino Lakes, east across 21Avenue (Commercial) and to the north (Mixed Residential) are also shown for context.The request is to guide the Belleville lot as High Density Residential (HDR), the same as the Willow Glen townhomes to the west. The Centerville Future Land Use Plan is illustrated on the next page, with the Belleville site shown HDR,as requested.The siteis adjacent to other higher density residential uses and a transit stop. It st is close to commercial uses and to I-35E, with easy access on 21Avenue. It is not adjacent to other Centerville single family neighborhoods and separatedfrom the Lino Lakes single family homes to the north by a large pond. The Belleville site may be the best location in the City for apartments. Comprehensive plan goals call for a mix of housing types. The plan summarizes existing housing types in the City in Table 10 to the right. Only 8% of the City’s housing is multi-family of 5 units or more. The proposed Belleville apartments would fill this needwith a high quality project. The Land Use Plan designates HDR as 12-25 units/acre. The proposed Belleville Landing project is 103 units on 5.3 acres, or 19.4 units/acre, meeting this density range. A letter narrative from the applicants discusses other issues in favor of the use, citing its location, the kind of residents expected (professionals, empty nesters, others wanting high quality apartment living) the building design, and amenities to be included.
