(over which the City has sole jurisdiction); and the other ordinance pertaining to the portion of the site located outside of the City limits. Only the latter ordinance would be subject to the County’s eventual approval. On November 16, the council passed motions directing staff to provide the two ordinances. Attached to this AIS are the two ordinances. Attachment A pertains to the portion of the River Ridge site that is within the City limits. Attachment B pertains to the portion of the site that is located outside the City limits. The passage of these two ordinances has the same substantive effect as the council’s November 9 action. In addition to motions that would approve the two ordinances as Attachments A and B, a third motion is provided that would address the possibility that the County Board further delay or not approve the changes in Plan designation that the City has approved. This third motion would provide that the portion of the site currently located outside the City limits would automatically be designated Low Density Residential if annexed to the City. All three motions recommended by the City Manager are supported by the property owner. RELATED CITY POLICIES The proposal must be consistent with the Metro Plan, applicable refinement plans and the Statewide Planning Goals. COUNCIL OPTIONS The City Council may consider the following options: 1.Adopt the ordinances included as Attachments A and B. 2.Adopt the ordinance as Attachment A with the proposed amendment, and adopt the ordinance as Attachment B. 3.Readopt the original ordinance included as Attachment C. CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION The City Manager recommends Option 2: Adopt the ordinance as Attachment A with the proposed amendment and adopt the ordinance as Attachment B. SUGGESTED MOTIONS 1. I move to adopt Council Bill 5017 an ordinance returning those portions of the River Ridge site that are inside the City limits to the low density residential designation contained in Attachment A.
