Oakdale council adopts rezoning and preliminary plat for 9th Street Landing subdivision
Summary
The City of Oakdale approved rezoning of about 6 acres from R2 to R3 and a preliminary plat to create five market-rate single-family lots; approval includes 10 conditions such as conveyance of a wetland outlot to the city, buildout of Upper Ninth Street and a tree preservation plan.
Oakdale’s City Council voted Sept. 23 to rezone roughly six acres at the 9th Street Landing site and approve a preliminary plat that will create five market-rate single-family lots.
Luke, a Community Development staff member, told the council the property — identified by the applicant as immediately east of the Platinum Bank parcel — is currently zoned R2 for low-density single-family homes and contains wetlands and trees. The developer, Prelude Holdings, proposed changing the zoning to R3 to allow 50-foot-wide single-family lots; the existing home on the site would remain, and the proposal is for market-rate units that are not income-restricted.
Staff recommended approval with 10 conditions included in Resolution 2025-87. Among the conditions are execution of a development agreement; approval of site civil plans; satisfaction of park-dedication requirements; conveyance of a wetland and buffer area as an outlot to the city for future ownership and maintenance; construction of a sidewalk along Upper Ninth Street and completion of the full buildout of Upper Ninth Street (which currently terminates partway through the adjacent parcel); submission of an acceptable tree preservation plan; execution of a grading-permit agreement for work prior to final plat; and required permits from outside agencies.
Luke said the developer adjusted the preliminary plat after neighborhood feedback, shifting a 15-foot access corridor to reduce tree removal along the southern boundary and enlarging a drainage and utility easement in the southwest portion of the property to provide a buffer for homes in the Oakrest Ridge subdivision.
The planning commission held a public hearing Aug. 7 and recommended approval. Council members heard staff’s presentation, acknowledged neighbor outreach by the developer and then adopted Ordinance 954 rezoning the property and Resolution 2025-87 approving the preliminary plat by voice votes.
Next steps: the developer must satisfy the conditions in Resolution 2025-87, submit final civil plans, and obtain any required outside permits before final plat approval.
