Planning Staff Report — Preserve at Prairie Dunes Case Nos. CP2022-031 July 25, 2022 Page 2 of 3 Background On May 18, 2022, the City Council approved a Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) as part of the overall approvals for the Preserve at Prairie Dunes development.

The Metropolitan Council is required to review and approve all CPA requests. City staff has worked with the Met Council staff to determine what kind of approvals are needed for the proposed amendment since it is minor amendment. In discussions with our Met Council Sector Representative, it was determined that the approval could be administrative and would not require adjacent community review or full Metropolitan Council approval. During the Met Council's review, they determined that the proposed amendment does not meet the City's Medium Density Residential minimum density of five units per acre when administrating the Met Council's density calculations standards. The Met Council determined the density of the Preserve at Prairie Dunes to be 4.1 units per acre. Met Council then requested the City to re - guide the area from Medium Density Residential to Low Density Residential (Attachment A), which allows for densities of 2-4 units per acre.
