Adopt Ordinance #15-09 Approving Zoning Amendment for Ridgepoint Located at 6080 Highway 10 NW; Case of Village Bank

The purpose of this case is to consider adopting Ordinance #15-09 to give final approval of the Zoning Amendment for Ridgepoint. This request was originally introduced as Ordinance #14-13. However, given the amount of time that has passed since said Ordinance was introduced, the request was re-introduced as Ordinance #15-09 on May 12, 2015. The ordinance is now eligible for adoption. Final Plat has already been approved.

The site is located on the easternmost border of the City, adjacent to the City of Anoka.

Staff attempted to notify all Property Owners within 700 feet of the Subject Property via Standard US Mail of the Public Hearing held by the Planning Commission. A Public Hearing Notification was also published in the Anoka County UnionHerald.

The Applicant is requesting to develop a currently undeveloped portion of the Subject Property as seven (7) single family lots, with the extension of Rivlyn Drive. Generally speaking, the request complies with the minimum standards of the R-1 Residential (MUSA) District. The proposed plat meets minimum bulk standards of the zoning and subdivision code. Future building permits must comply with the remainder of the requirements of the R-1 Residential (MUSA) District.

Alternatives

Alternative #1: Adopt the Ordinance. This alternative will have several outcomes, most notably the elimination of one local road alternative of the Highway 10 Access Planning Study. This is the recommendation of the Planning Commission. The Ordinance was already introduced by the City Council on May 12.

Alternative #2: Do not adopt the Ordinance. As the Plat has been approved by the City Council contingent upon this Ordinance, and the Ordinance has been introduced, Staff does not recommend this option.

All costs associated with processing the Application are the responsibility of the Applicant.

The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the Zoning Amendment.

Motion to waive the City Charter requirement to read the Ordinance aloud and to adopt Ordinance #15-09 approving the Zoning Amendment for Ridgepoint.
