OVERVIEW
Alatus, LLC on behalf of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) owner of
325 Blake Road, requested a Planned Unit Development (PUD) amendment and
rezoning; four PUD site plan approvals – respectively for Sites B, C, D, and the
townhomes; and preliminary and final plat approvals for the townhome site. The land
use requests are necessary to facilitate revisions and modifications to the applicant’s
plans for the next phases of redevelopment of 325 Blake Road.
At their February 13, 2024, meeting the City Council approved a first reading of
Ordinance 2024-1206 rezoning the property. Additionally, the City Council approved
Resolutions approving the amendment to the PUD, the requested site plan approvals,
and the requested subdivision. Prior to that action, the Planning & Zoning Commission
held a public hearing to review these items and recommended approval by the City
Council on January 23, 2024.
Should the City Council approve the second reading of this ordinance, the City Attorney
will prepare an amendment to the PUD Agreement to be executed by the Mayor and
City Manager. The PUD Agreement, together with the PUD rezoning ordinance, and
PUD site plans finalize the land use approvals for these components of the
redevelopment project.
