Regular City Council Meeting Monday, June 3, 2019 Page 3 Roll Call Ayes: Wilimus, Laliberte, Groff, Etten, and Roe. Nays: None. Councilmember Laliberte stated there have been several conversations about get- ting this medium housing density into the Community so for that reason she was supportive and appreciates the buffer/transition that is provided. 7. Business Items b. Consider a Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map Change, Official Zoning Map (Rezoning) Change, and a Conditional Use for Increased Site Density for a 60-Unit Affordable Senior Housing Project at 165 Owasso Boulevard, and 3011,3029, and 3033 Rice Street(PF19-004) City Planner Thomas Paschke briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the RCA and related attachments dated June 3, 2019. Mayor Roe clarified a lot of times when projects come forward it is sort of a staged process where the City does the analysis and potential approval of the Comprehensive Land Use Map change for the guidance of the property and then once the Metropolitan Council approves that, that is when the rezoning comes back before the Council for consideration, despite the fact that it might have been heard at the public hearing at the Planning Commission. This process is a little different than that. He asked either staff or the City Attorney elaborate more on how things tie together in the approvals this evening and why the City is doing all of these three items as a single consideration. Mr. Paschke thought the main reason is one has to do with the applicant going through and trying to proceed forward with some funding which is necessary for this project. The other is to tie this project together and seek the Council approval as one combined project. There is the Comp. Plan Amendment, Rezoning and the Conditional Use that then become complete. If it comes to the point where, based on these conditions, the City does not receive the appropriate information or the items necessary to support one of those, staff would not record Resolutions or adopt Ordinances in that point in time, and the project would not move forward. Mayor Roe stated the Zoning Change Ordinance would have been adopted as a City Council but what is the result. Mr. Paschke stated staff would not publish the Ordinance or record the Resolu- tions without the applicant receiving building permit and other approvals first. Mayor Roe clarified that it would seem that if the property is reguided and the Metropolitan Council approves the reguiding of the property, that action is done
