Council tables Legacy Woods final plat after Metropolitan Council flags A3 zoning inconsistency
Summary
The council voted to table the Legacy Woods final plat and any rezoning tied to the city's A3 district after Metropolitan Council staff told city planners the A3 district may be inconsistent with the comprehensive plan; staff will pursue a meeting with Met Council and legal counsel to clarify requirements and timelines.
City staff asked the council to table the final plat for Legacy Woods, a 10‑lot single‑family proposal on North Diamond Lake Road, after the Metropolitan Council expressed that the city’s A3 zoning district may be inconsistent with Dayton’s comprehensive plan under regional policy (MUSA/Met Council system statements).
Staff said the Met Council’s correspondence argues the A3 district as drafted requires a comp‑plan amendment; the city intends to draft a letter to Met Council staff, request a meeting that includes the city’s legal counsel, and push for a timely response because statutory review clocks constrain the council’s ability to act. Council members asked for hard internal deadlines — planning commission in August and a follow‑up to council as soon as practicable — while acknowledging ultimate decisions about consistency rest with the Met Council.
The council voted to table the Legacy Woods item to allow staff and legal counsel to pursue clarification with Met Council staff and to return with recommended next steps and a clearer timeline.
