5. Subsequent to the Planning Commission meeting, the applicant has indicated that they are unwillinq to reduce the number of uni ts on the site any further for economic reasons unless major incentives are offered by the City (see letter) . The conditions recommended by the Planning Commission would require the reduction in the number of dwelling units on the site. 6. The City Council continued consideration of this matter until July 13, 1992 to allow staff to discuss alternatives with the applicant. 7. Discussions have occurred but the applicant has indicated that they cannot reduce the density without significant financial assistance from the City. Alternatives: 1. Deny approval of the proposed rezoning based on the finding that the proposal would be detrimental to the general health, public safety, and welfare. Specific findings of fact should be outlined to support this decision. 2. Approve the project with appropriate conditions based on the finding that the proposal would be consistent with the City's comprehensive plan and would not be detrimental to the general health, public safety, and welfare. Staff Recommendation: 1. Based on the fact that the developers have stated that they would not be willing to reduce the density on the site in order to meet the Planning Commission's special condi tions without substantial City inducement, the Heritage Development of Minnesota Inc. request for rezoning from R-1 to PUD at 725 w.
