RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING DISTRIBUTION OF AN ALTERNATIVE URBAN
AREAWIDE REVIEW FOR THE LAUNCH PARK STUDY AREA
Proposed Action
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Adoption of a resolution authorizing the
distribution of an Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) for the Launch Park study area.
Overview
The City of Lakeville is the Responsible Government Unit (RGU) for the review and distribution of the
Launch Park Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR). The Launch Park study area is located on
approximately 190 acres south of Co. Rd 70 and east of Cedar Avenue. The AUAR will fulfill the
environmental review requirement for development provided that the density of the development
proposed is in conformance with the density reviewed in the AUAR and the mitigation measures outlined
in the AUAR are implemented.
A Draft AUAR has been completed. It evaluates the environmental impacts associated with two possible
development scenarios. These scenarios are in conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and
include:
Scenario 1: 1,900,000 sf of office/warehouse.
Scenario 2: 2,200,000 sf of office/warehouse and would require a gas line to be
relocated to maximize development.
The required environmental review process requires the Draft AUAR be submitted for a 30-day agency
and public comment period. Following the public comment period, the AUAR will be revised based on
the comments and submitted for a second, 10-day comment period. If no objections are filed, the final
AUAR will be submitted to Council for adoption. Staff recommends City Council authorize the
distribution of the Launch Park AUAR.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Why is this environmental review required? Based on the potential magnitude of development in
this area, environmental review pursuant to Minnesota Rules 4410 is required.
