The Fairhill land use plan was approved on April 21, 2008 by the Farmington City Council. Planned Unit Development (PUD) A revised land use plan was approved on April 21, 2008 and is shown on the 2030 Comprehensive Plan (Exhibit B). The zoning of the property is proposed as a Planned Unit Development (PUD). The current 2030 Comprehensive Plan (Exhibit D) shows the Fairhillland uses that were originally approved on June 16, 2006. As stated above, the revised land use plan for Fairhill was approved on April 21, 2008. On that date, the 2006 Fairhillland uses (Exhibit D) shown on the current 2030 Comprehensive Plan were in the midst of being reviewed by the Metropolitan Council and adjacent jurisdictions. It was determined by staff to wait until the time when the Official Zoning Map was being proposed for amendments that the 2008 Fairhillland uses would be included on the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as shown on Exhibit B. Therefore, the revised 2008 land uses are in effect. During the review of the current zoning map, staff determined that there were additional areas that needed to be updated that were not noticed for this meeting. Therefore, staff is proposing that the Planning Commission continue this public hearing to the October 13,2009 meeting in order to ensure that all properties are correctly noticed for amending the zoning map. RECOMMENDATION City staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the information and continue the public hearing to the October 13, 2009 Planning Commission meeting.

During the 2030 Comprehensive Plan process, staff determined that the Medium-High Density Residential be eliminated from the plan because the properties that were identified as Medium-High Density Residential were minimal and staff wanted a more definitive line between medium and high densities in residential areas (Exhibit A). The current zoning district density ranges are shown below: R-l (Low-Density) 1.0 to 3.5 units per acre R-2 (Low/Medium-Density) 2.5 to 5.5 units per acre R-3 (Medium-Density) 5.5 to 8.5 units per acre R-4 (Medium-High Density) 8.5 to 14.0 units per acre 14.0 + units er acre At the October 13, 2009 Planning Commission meeting, staff will propose the following zoning district densities that correspond to the approved 2030 Comprehensive Plan land use densities: R-l (Low-Density) 1.0 to 3.5 units per acre R-2 (Low/Medium-Density) 3.5 to 6.0 units per acre R-3 (Medium-Density) 6.0 to 12.0 units per acre 12.0 + units er acre Since the zoning district densities will not be reviewed by the Planning Commission until its October 13, 2009 meeting, staff will be requesting that this item be continued to that meeting. ACTION REOUESTED Staff recommends that this public hearing be continued to the October 13, 2009 Planning Commission meeting. Respectfully Submitted, ~ Lee Smick, City Planner AICP, CNU-Accredited 6t.

Fax 651.280.6899 www.ci.farmington.mn.us TO: Planning Commission FROM: Tony Wippler, Assistant City Planner '6 Add Section 10-5-20 concerning the Mixed Use Commercial/Residential Zoning District (MUCR) SUBJECT: DATE: September 9,2009 INTRODUCTION / DISCUSSION The City is in the process of amending the Official Zoning Map to be in compliance with the approved 2030 Comprehensive Plan. The amendment will include zoning the property commonly known as "Fairhill" to a PUD status. With any property zoned PUD there needs to be an underlying zoning designation whether it be R-l (Low Density Residential), R-3 (Medium Density Residential) or any other district outlined in the zoning code. Fairhill is unique in that it possesses 29 acres of land at the intersection of TH 3 and 195th Street that is comprehensively guided Mixed Use (Commercial/Residential). The existing zoning code does not have a current district that staff feels fully meets the Developer's intent of this land use area. Attached, for Planning Commission consideration, is a draft of the proposed zoning code Section 10-5-20 Mixed Use Commercial/Residential District. The bulk requirements in the proposed section adhere to what was approved with the PUD Agreement that was executed in 2008. The developer has been and will continue to be involved in the creation of this particular zoning code. Staff will be asking to continue this public hearing to the regular meeting on October 13,2009 as it is anticipated that the zoning map amendments will be tabled until this meeting date to ensure all properties proposed to be rezoned have been properly noticed. RECOMMENDATION City staff recommends that the Planning Commission review and comment on the proposed section addition and continue the public hearing to October 13,2009.
