Memo to Planning Commission <br /> LUA 96-1, ZC 96-11, P 96-1 and CU 96-1 Page 3 <br /> <br />Land Use Plan Amendrnent/Rezonin~i <br /> <br />As part of the Comprehensive Plan update, the Steering Committee and City <br />Council amended the land use plan map to reflect a highway commercial land <br />use up to 197th Avenue. This commercial land use extended 850 feet east of <br />US Highway 169 from Sax Foods to 197th Avenue. <br /> <br />The proposed commercial planned unit development is slightly more than the <br />850 feet directly behind (east) the Menards site, however, less than the 850 <br />feet both north and south of Menards. Therefore, the Comprehensive Plan <br />amendment is an adjustment to the land use plan map to be consistent with <br />the proposed development. <br /> <br />The rezoning from Rle (single family residential) to PUD (planned unit <br />development) is consistent with the Hillside Crossing I development <br />immediately to the south. Furthermore, the rezoning is consistent with the <br />identified land use designation of HB (highway business). <br /> <br />Preliminar~ Plat <br /> <br />As mentioned earlier, the prehminary plat involves approximately 29 acres of <br />land to be subdivided into two commercial lots and two outlots that will <br />eventually be replatted to accommodate future development considerations. <br />The plat includes the extension of Evans Street north along Highway 169 <br />serving as a frontage road for the commercial development between 193rd <br />Avenue and 197th Avenue. Also, 196th Avenue provides access to the <br />Hillside Estates residential development lying immediately east of the <br />proposed project. At the northern portion of the plat, right-of-way for <br />necessary road improvements to 197th Avenue and Evans Street is also <br />included. (Please refer to Terry Maurer's memo regarding these road <br />improvements.) <br /> <br />As mentioned on the previous page, the lot sizes in this development range <br />from 2.7 acres up to 11.3 acres. All of the lots exceed the minimum lot size in <br />a PUD project which is .8 acres. <br /> <br />Park Dedication, <br /> <br />The Park and Recreation Commission has recommended a 75 foot wide park <br />corridor along the northern portion of the plat. The Park and Recreation <br />Commission plans on a quahty trail corridor along this portion of the plat, <br />eventually connecting with the corridors in Hillside Estates residential <br />development. In addition to the park corridor, the remaining park dedication <br /> <br />s:\planning\pc\hilsid2.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
