At their Januaryr 24, 2023, work session, the Commission had an in-depth discussion Yegarding the changes and, along with some additional changes, recommended moving forward `vith a review byT Council. Land Use Amendments While preparing for this land use and zoning amendment process, staff identified several areas of the approved Land Use Map that require updates as theyT `vere incorrectl�T assigned on the 2021 land use plan. These errors, along with otheY pYoposed changes, aYe described on the attached exhibit ritled "Land Use Map (PYoposed)". Changes to note are as follows: ■ The Neighborhood Commercial node at Count�r Road 13 and Viking Blvd. increased in size. ■ Bowling alley site (north of Orono Park) is proposed to change from Traditional Single FamilyT Residential to Mixed Residential. ■ Guardian ringels on Main Street is proposed to change from MultifamilyT to Neighborhood Commercial. ■ The area west of the train station is proposed to change from Neighborhood Commercial to Business Park. ■ The land south of Hwyr 10/169 and east of Kelleyr Farm is proposed to change from Traditional Single Famil�T Residential to HighwayT Business. ■ The southeast portion of the cityT proposed to change from Traditional Single FamilyT Residential to Rural Residential. ■ An area east of Cargill changed from Rural Residential to Agricultural. ■ All ERX land previouslyT approved under a CUP is proposed to be High`vayT Business. ■ Removed the Utilities & Railroad land use and identified those as Public/Semi-Public Additionally, considering the urban service expansion study that the cityT and ERMU completed and recently accepted, the Commission discussed the areas proposed for utilityT expansion. Based on the financial limitations and to avoid leapfrog development, the Commission recommended removing the NW utilityT expansion areas west of the great northern trail. This would include the area that was recently reviewed by Council for a new residential subdivision. Ordinance Amendments and Zone Changes The Comprehensive Plan also points towards the creation of a new or significantlyT changed residential zoning districts. It is Yecommended to combine the R-1b, R-1c, and R-1d districts into one zoning district The difference between these three districts are minor lot size and setback changes. The proposed amendment, creating the R2 Traditional Single-Family Residential district, combines these three districts and utilizes their smallest lot size and setbacks thus minimizing legal non-conforming parcels to those that may e�st todayT. The to`vnhouse district (R3) is proposed to no longer be recognized as an independent zoning district To`vnhouse uses will be absorbed into the newlyT proposed RZ and R3 districts. The current R3 performance standards will continue to be referenced for future townhouse developments. Existing properties developed prior to the adoption of this proposed amendment would be allo`ved to continue with their previouslyT established peYfoYmance standards. Staff has drafted oY modified language foY fouY Yesidential zoning districts as outlined: 1. R1 Rural Residential Drafted to reflect our current R-1a district which has a 2'/2 acre minimum lot size without cit�T services. 2. R2 Traditional Single-Family Residential Drafted to reflect and combine our current R1b-d, R2a-b, & R3 districts urban service parcels. Per the Comprehensive Plan, this district also encourages a gentle increase in densityT byT allo`ving redevelopment in
