Review Concept Plan for Zeolite/Bunker Townhomes; Case of Lennar

Lennar (the "Applicant") has sent in a potential concept plan for townhomes in The COR District northeast of the Northstar Marketplace north of Sunwood Drive. The site is approximately 31 acres and is owned by the City of Ramsey. The Subject Property's PID is 28-32-25-22-0058.

The intent of this case is as follows:

• Does the EDA want Staff to get this project to the finish line? If so, Staff will chart a course with future cases on exactly how to get there?
• Are there any red flags in the concept plan?
• Are there questions the Planning Commission wants answered with any future official application?

No notification required at this stage.

The property is question in approximately 31 acres and is owned by the City of Ramsey. The site is zoned COR, a mixed use (mix of uses) type of district. The northern half of the project is generally consistent with the recent revisioning exercise for The COR. The southern half was anticipated as more of a retail use. Staff is seeking broad guidance on how to move forward.

This is more of a land use/zoning exercise at this point. There is not a formal purchase offer. The Developer is seeking feedback on the layout and use. However, since this is land owned by the City, real estate transactions are traditionally reviewed by the EDA. Therefore, Staff is updating the EDA early in the process to ensure alignment between EDA and Planning Commission.

Staff is handling this portion of the review as part of normal duties.

Provide the applicant high-level feedback on the use and whether or not to move forward with an official application and request for a Purchase Agreement. The Planning Commission was supportive of this development north of Sunwood Drive as presented, but was not supportive of medium density/townhomes south of Sunwood Drive.

Provide the applicant high-level feedback on the use and whether or not to move forward with an official application and request for Purchase Agreement.
