NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA that it should and hereby does deny
amendments to the Comprehensive Plan to re -guide 12 parcels to LA -R2 and two parcels to P -I
based upon the following findings:
I . The City recently re -guided the parcels to LA -RT as part of the City's 2009
Comprehensive Plan Update. That recent re -guiding provides reasonable use of the property.
2. Portions of the parcels are heavily wooded and have extensive topographic relief.
The proposed re -guiding to LA -R2 would not only allow single family homes, but also two-
family homes and townhomes at a density of up to four (4) units per acre. Because of the
physical constraints, this density is unreasonable at this time and could result in extensive
environmental damage.
2
I
. No actual development of the property is currently proposed. The application to
re -guide the property is premature.
