RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE FINAL ALTERNATIVE URBAN AREAWIDE
REVIEW FOR THE LAUNCH PARK STUDY AREA
Proposed Action
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Adoption of a resolution approving the Final
Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) for the Launch Park Study Area.
Overview
Launch Properties is proposing to develop 190 acres of vacant land located east of Cedar Avenue and south
of County Road 70 known at Launch Park. Launch Park is an industrial park type development that will
consist of warehouse, distribution, and manufacturing type businesses. Because of the overall size of the
proposed development, the State of Minnesota requires a review of the environmental impact of the
proposed development and the associated infrastructure. The City Council authorized the preparation of
the AUAR on June 4, 2018.
Launch Properties retained the firm of Kimley Horn to prepare the draft AUAR. The draft AUAR was
reviewed by City staff and the City’s consultant and distributed to the required review agencies for a 30-day
comment period. Kimley Horn prepared revisions to the AUAR responses based on the comments received
and the AUAR was distributed for the second 10-day comment and objection period. Based on the
comments received, adequate mitigation measures have been incorporated into the AUAR for the proposed
Launch Park development.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution authorizing the adoption of the Final Launch Park Alternative
Urban Areawide Review dated October, 2018.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Have the environmental issues associated with the proposed Launch Park development been
addressed in the final AUAR document? Issues that were identified have been addressed in the
proposed mitigation measures contained in the AUAR document.
