In conjunction with the preliminary plat, a Comprehensive Plan amendment re- guiding the property included in the preliminary plat to Corridor Mixed Use, a Zoning Map amendment rezoning the property to M-1, Mixed Use I-35 Corridor District, and a conditional use permit to allow townhouses and multiple principal buildings on a lot in the M-1 District and a reduction in the required floor area for multiple family dwellings was also considered.

At their April 4, 2022 meeting, the City Council tabled action on the preliminary plat, Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map amendments, and conditional use permit and referred the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map amendments back to the Planning Commission for consideration of re-guiding and rezoning only the portion of the preliminary plat located north of the delineated wetlands within Outlots A and B. Pursuant to State Statute, staff has extended the applications for the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map amendments and the conditional use permit an additional 60 days, until June 7, 2022, to allow this reconsideration to occur. Findings of fact for approval of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map amendments for only that portion of the Authentix Lakeville preliminary plat located north of the delineated wetlands within Outlots A and B are attached for your consideration. The findings include an exhibit which depicts the specific area on the preliminary plat currently being considered for the amendments. I also attached the site plan showing the portion of the project located north of the delineated wetlands for your reference. 1 CITY OF LAKEVILLE DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA AUTHENTIX LAKEVILLE APPROVAL OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS FINDINGS OF FACT AND RECOMMENDATION The Lakeville Planning Commission met at its regularly scheduled meeting on March 3, 2022 to consider the applications of Continental 564 Fund, LLC for an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use guided by the 2040 Land Use Plan and for an amendment to the Zoning Map to rezone property located north of 210th Street (CSAH 70) and west of Keokuk Avenue. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map amendments on a 5-2 vote. At their April 4, 2022 meeting, the City Council tabled action on the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map amendments and referred the applications back to the Planning Commission for consideration of amending only that portion of the Authentix preliminary plat located north of the delineated wetland located on the subject property within Outlots A and B, Authentix Lakeville. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The subject property is guided for Commercial and High Density Residential land uses by the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The applicant has applied for an amendment to the 2040 Land Use Plan to change the guided land use to Corridor Mixed Use. 2. The subject site is zoned C-3, General Commercial District and RH-2, Multiple Family Residential District. The applicant has applied for an amendment to the Zoning Map to change the zoning of the property to M-1, Mixed Use I-35 Corridor District. 3. The description of the property is that portion Lot 1, Block 1, Authentix Lakeville located north of Outlots A and B (see Exhibit A). 4. The Implementation chapter of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and Section 11-3-3.E of the City of Lakeville Zoning Ordinance provides that the Planning Commission shall consider possible effects of the proposed amendment. Its judgment shall be based upon, but not limited to, the following factors: a. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive Plan. 2 Finding: The 2040 Land Use Plan envisions the long-term development of the community encouraging a balanced variety of development types while preventing an oversupply of any one land use. Areas within the I-35 corridor have been guided for CMU uses to provide housing opportunities adjacent to planned nodes of commercial development that are also in proximity to existing or future transit facilities. The proposed development is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan for economic development, attainable housing, and a desirable land use transition and the following goals and policies:  Amend established land use designations and related zoning classifications that reflect Lakeville’s long-term interest only when such action is consistent with the goals and policies of the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan. (p. 36)  Analyze all development proposals on an individual basis from a physical, economic, and social standpoint to determine the most appropriate uses within Lakeville. (p. 37)  Locate multiple family housing with adequate access to major roadways and around areas targeted for business and industrial development to provide market and labor support. (p. 40) b. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area. Finding: The subject site is at the west edge of the commercial land uses surrounding the I-35/CSAH 70 interchange. Introduction of housing in this location, particularly attainable housing, would provide both market and employment support for businesses in the area as well as industrial uses farther to the east along CSAH 70. The subject site is also within ¼ mile of the existing City Park and Pool facility located on the east side of I-35, north of CSAH 70. c. The proposed use conforms to all performance standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance and the City Code. Finding: The proposed development complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and City Code. d. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the City’s service capacity. Finding: The subject site is within the MUSA and the proposed use can be accommodated within the City’s existing public service capacity. e. Traffic generated by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property. 3 Finding: The subject site is accessed by 210th Street (CSAH 70) designated as a Future Principal Arterial street and Keokuk Avenue and 207th Street designated as Major Collector streets by the 2040 Transportation Plan, which have adequate capacity to accommodate traffic generated by the proposed use. 5. The report dated 24 February 2022 prepared by The Planning Company LLC (TPC) and the memorandum dated 14 April 2022 prepared by Planning Director Daryl Morey are incorporated herein. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve amendments to the Comprehensive Plan 2040 Land Use Plan and Zoning Map based upon the foregoing information, findings, and the considerations outlined in the Planning Report dated 24 February 2022 prepared by The Planning Company LLC and the memorandum dated 14 April 2022 prepared by Planning Director Daryl Morey.
