NEW BUSINESS a. 7:30 Plan Amendment: Crestview Drive, between Mailand Road and Londin Lane Ken Roberts, Associate Planner, presented the staff report for this proposed land use plan amendment from RM, Medium Density Residential to RL, Low Density Residential, for the western 120 feet of the Crestview 4th and future 5th additions (west of Crestview Drive between Mailand Road and Londin Lane). Chairman Axdahl opened the meeting to discussion from the public. Janice Knieff, 425 Crestview Drive, said that she was not opposed to this proposed land use plan amendment and that the garages for the townhouses to the west are a good divider between the townhouses and the single family dwellings. Commissioner Fischer moved the Planning Commission recommend approval of the resolution to amend the land • use plan for the area west of Crestview Drive (between Mailand Road and Londin Lane) from RM, Medium Density Residential to RL, Low Density Residential, on the basis that the property owner is developing the area with single- family homes which are consistent with a RL land use designation. Commissioner Sletten seconded Ayes -- Axdahl, Barrett, Cardinal, Fischer, Gerke, Larson, Sigmundik, Sletten b. 7 :40 Plan Amendment: Walter Street and Frost Avenue Secretary Olson presented the staff report for this proposed land use plan amendment from RM, Medium Density Residential, to RL, Low Density Residential, for the area west of Walter Street and south of Frost Avenue. Chairman Axdahl asked for comments from the public. Jerry Gossin, 1101 Fenton Street, and Frank Silverbauer, 1889 Walter Street, both said they are in favor of only single - family dwellings in this area. • Planning Commission -3- • Minutes 12 -18 -89 Commissioner Cardinal moved the Planning Commission recommend adoption of the resolution to amend the land use plan for the area west of Walter Street and south of Frost Avenue from RM, Medium Density Residential to RL, Low Density Residential, on the basis that the property owner is developing the area with single - family homes which are consistent with an RL land use designation. Commission Sletten seconded Ayes -- Axdahl, Barrett, Cardinal, Fischer, Gerke, Larson, Sigmundik, Sletten c. 7:50 Plan Amendment: Radatz Avenue, West of White Bear Avenue Ken Roberts, Associate Planner, presented the staff report for this proposed land use plan amendment from RM, Medium Density Residential to RL, Low Density Residential, and a rezoning from F, Farm Residential to R -1, Single Dwelling Residential for the area north of Radatz Avenue and west of White Bear Avenue. • A commissioner asked how this property was developed with single- family homes while the zoning remained farm residential. Staff responded that it was developed before 1957. Chairman Axdahl opened the public hearing. Bob Anderson, 89 Wildwood Beach Road, said he is owner of a parcel included in this proposal. Mr. Anderson said his property is now surrounded by commercial development so he cannot sell it for residential development and property taxes on this property are high. Mr. Anderson said he would like this property rezoned commercial so he could develop and sell his property. Mr. Anderson said he was not notified when his property was rezoned residential. In response to a commissioner's question, Secretary Olson said this land use plan amendment and rezoning was initiated in order to eliminate inconsistencies between the land use plan and zoning. Secretary Olson said the land was originally zoned farm residential and the property fronting on Beam Avenue was rezoned to business commercial. Secretary Olson said if a property owner wanted to pursue a land use plan • amendment and rezoning he could file an application and staff will then start the review process. Planning Commission -4- • Minutes 12 -18 -89 • A commissioner questioned whether these lots were originally large, double- frontage lots on Radatz and Beam Avenues and the frontage on Beam Avenue then sold at a later time, which would account for the irregular lot lines. Chairman Axdahl opened the public hearing to the public. The resident of 2183 Maple Lane said he previously lived at 2847 White Bear Avenue, between Radatz and Beam Avenues, and said he was happy to move out of the area because of the commercial development. Marian Luba, 1816 Radatz Avenue, said she is concerned with how this rezoning will affect her property on the south side of Radatz Avenue. As there were no other comments from the public, Chairman Axdahl closed the public hearing. Commissioner Fischer moved the Planning Commission recommend: • 1. Approval of the resolution which amends the land use plan for the area north of Radatz Avenue west of White Bear Avenue from RM, Medium Density Residential to RL, Low Density Residential, on the basis that the area is developed with single - family homes which are consistent with a RL land use designation. 2. Approval of the resolution to rezone the property along the north side of Radatz Avenue west of White Bear Avenue from F, Farm Residential to R- 1, Single - Dwelling Residential, based on the findings required by ordinance and that R -1, Single - Family Dwelling Residential zoning is consistent with the current development of the property. Commissioner Sletten seconded Ayes -- Axdahl, Barrett, Cardinal, Fischer, Gerke, Larson, Sigmundik, Sletten • Planning Commission -5- . Minutes 12 -18 -89 d. 8:00 Plan Amendment: Radatz Avenue, East of White Bear Avenue Ken Roberts, Associate Planner, presented the staff report for this requested land use plan amendment and rezonings and answered questions of the commission. The hearing was opened for comments from the public. Elmer Birkland, 2015 Radatz Avenue, asked if there would be a road built in the area proposed for R -2 zoning. Staff said there are no plans to build a road in this area, but this proposed action would not prohibit a road from being built in the future. Staff said this property is for sale at this time. Bruce Fisher, 2836 White Bear Avenue, said the long - range zoning for his property should be business commercial. Mr. Fisher asked what the tax ramifications for LBC zoning would be. Staff said the taxes may be reassessed and referred Mr. Fisher to Ramsey County Tax Department for that information. Mr. Fisher said he would rather have the zoning remain as • it is presently. Bill Mikiska, 2003 Radatz Avenue, asked if there would be any buffer zoning between residential and commercial properties. Staff said typically the City attempts to include a buffer zone between residential and commercial properties, but in this instance it is not feasible because of the 4 -acre commercial parcel on the southeast corner of White Bear and Beam Avenues. Mr. Mikiska said there is presently a buffer between commercial and residential properties, which is the north side of Radatz Avenue, and it should not be changed. Mr. Mikiska said he is concerned that property taxes may increase. Mr. Fisher again addressed the Commission and asked if the land use plan could be amended and the zoning remain farm residential as it is presently. A commissioner responded that according to state law, once the land use plan is amended the land must be rezoned within nine months. Commissioner Fischer moved the Planning Commission recommend: • 4 Planning Commission - 6 - • Minutes 12 -18 -89 1. Approval of the resolution which amends the land use plan for portions of the area near Radatz Avenue east of White Bear Avenue from RM, Medium Density Residential to RL, Low Density Residential, on the basis that: a. The properties in question are developed with or expect to develop with single- family homes which are consistent with a RL land use designation. b. There is no reason to believe that these properties will develop into medium density residential in future. 2. Approval of the resolution to rezone some of the properties near Radatz Avenue east of White Bear Avenue from F, Farm Residential to R -1, Single - dwelling Residential, based on the findings required by ordinance and that R -1, Single- • dwelling Residential zoning is consistent with the current development of the property. This also applies to the rezone of the property at 2836 White Bear Avenue from F, Farm Residential to R- 1, Single - dwelling Residential. 3. Approval of the resolution to rezone the property along the south side of Beam Avenue (west of 2030 and 2032 Beam Avenue) from F, Farm Residential to R -2, Double - dwelling Residential, based on the findings required by ordinance and that the R -2, Double - dwelling Residential zoning is consistent with the RM, Medium Density Residential land use designation for the property.

ADJOURNMENT • Meeting adjourned at 9:29 p.m. 111 MEMORANDUM TO: City Manager FROM Ken Roberts, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Land Use Plan Amendments and Rezonings LOCATION: West of Highway 61, between Highway 36 and County Road C APPLICANT: City of Maplewood DATE: December 28, 1989 SUMMARY INTRODUCTION The City p. PThe °land useeplancshowsshow the City expects to map- T regulates how property can be currently used. The City to develop in the future. The zoning Council has requested a study of each area where the zoning map and land use plan do not agree. The area being studied in this report is west of Highway 61, between County Road C and Highway 36. The existing and proposed land use plans are shown on pages 10 and 11. The changes are as follows: 1. A land use plan amendment from RM, medium density residential to BW, business warehouse for the existing M -1, light manufacturing zone southwest of County Road C and Highway 61. 2. A land use plan amendment from RM, medium density residential, LSC, limited service commercial and RL, low density residential to BW, business warehouse for the area south and southwest of the Town and Country Manufactured Home Park. The existing and proposed zoning maps are shown on pages 12 and 13. The changes are as follows: 1. A rezoning from F, farm residential and BC, business commercial to M-1, liihtthanufacturingtffor the west one -half of the Maple Leaf 2. A rezoning from F to property, west of the drive to F, farm 3.

A rezoning from M-1 to for the easterly half of the Town and Country Manufactured H park. BACKGROUND The City Council considered a similar study to this in 1985, but tabled action for further study. CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL Plan Amendments Plan amendments require no specific findings for approval. Any amendment, however, should be consistent with the City's land use goals; and policies. Rezonings Section 36 -485 of the City Code requires the following findings to approve a rezoning: 1. The proposed change is consistent with the spirit, purpose and intent of the zoning code. 2. The proposed change will not substantially injure or detract from the use of neighboring property or from the character of the neighborhood, and that the use of the property adjacent to the area included in the proposed change or plan is adequately safeguarded. 3. The proposed change will serve the best interests and conveniences of the community, where applicable, and the public welfare. 4. The proposed change would have no negative effect upon the logical, efficient, and economical extension of public services and facilities, such as public water, sewers, police and fire protection and schools. DISCUSSION This area has developed with an interspersing of commercial, industrial and residential uses. The recommended changes as outlined below attempt to balance the highest and best use of these properties with a use that is compatible with the surrounding properties and in a manner consistent with the City's development policies. The recommended changes are explained as follows: Plan Amendment and rezoning southwest of Highway 61 and County Road C There are two problems to resolve here. The Highway Department property between Highway 61 and the frontage road is zoned M -1, but has no land use plan designation. A BW designation would be the most similar land use plan classification to the existing M -1 zoning. 2 The property on the west side of the frontage road is currently planned for RM use, but is zoned M -1. Staff is recommending This area has s been zoned 1 since W the 1950's. tItthasMexcellent� visibility nd been z and access for commercial use with it's proximity to Highway 61. The rear portion of single-dwelling.

They by conditonal ublic hearing, zone. The conditional use permit requires a p notification of property owners and City Council approval. Plan Amendment for the area south of the Town and Country Manufactured Home Park Staff is recommending that the area currently zoned M -1 be amended on the land use plan with a BW classification. This area limit currently planned RM, residential medium density an do LSC, im il service commercial. This area appears uses due to its proximity to Highways 36 and 61 and because of the existing commercial lThe with a BWS business long-standing M -1 zoning which i s most consistent warehousing land use designation. Rezoning of the westerly half of the Maple Leaf Theater property The westerly part of the drive -in property is currently planned for RL, residential low density (single - dwelling homes) a nd ndR residential medium density (multiple dwellngs), b utnt a sl since zoned for BC, business commercial and F, i 1958. Continuing to plan for single - dwelling homes onthis ysiteue would be unrealistic, considering the existing use, p p and commercial zoning. A study done for the property owner in 1985 (see pages 15 and 16) proposes that the property be rezoned to M -1. The current zoning is BC, business commercial. The neighborhood to the west is concerned with the impact of any development on their properties. Almost ca led used a h wt hist ory d pofocmplaintsefrom residential owners in the has ca a or P area. The advantage of the M -1 zone to the neighbors is that any uevelopd zon done requirees ar a conditional City Council. z requirs opportunity for This would involve a public hearing and an opp y elate neighborhood involvement. BW would then be the most appropriate land use classification. Plan amendment and rezoning - Gervais Avenue, west of the drive -in Staff is recommending that the north and south sides of Gervais 411 3 Avenue, west of the drive -in, be designated BW as well. They are planned for RL, low density residential now. The zoning, however, is R -1, single- dwelling on the north and M -1, light manufacturing on the south. To keep the zoning consistent with the proposed plan classification, the parcels north of Gervais Avenue should be zoned M -1 as well. There are two reasons for these changes. The first is that Gervais Avenue has been proposed in the past to be relocated slightly to the north and extended to the future southerly extension of Forest Avenue. This will make it a commercial access for trucks coming and going from the businesses on Gervais Avenue. This would lead to complaints from future single - dwelling owners on the north side of Gervais Avenue. The second reason is that one of the City's land use policies is to try and keep similar uses fronting each other on the same side of the street. Changes in land use should occur along rear or side lot lines. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Approve the resolution on page 17 which amends the land use plan for the existing M -1 zone, southwest of County Road C and Highway 61, as shown on the map on page 11 of the staff report, from RM, medium density residential to BW, business warehouse on the basis that: a. This area has been zoned for M -1 uses since the 1950's. b. This area has excellent visibility and access for commercial use. c. The owner prefers the BW to the RM designation. 2. Approve the resolution on page 18 which amends the land use plan for the area south and southwesterly of the Town and Country Manufactured Home Park from RM, medium density residential, LSC, limited service commercial and RL, low density residential to BW, business warehouse, as shown on the map on page 11 of the staff report, on the basis that: a. This area is better suited to commercial uses than to residential uses due to its proximity to Highway 36 and Highway 61 and the existing commercial development. b. The BW designation is consistent with the long standing M -1 and BC zoning in the area. c. The BW designation is better suited to the property north and south of Gervais Avenue, because when Gervais Avenue is extended it will be a commercial street and similar land uses should front each other on the same street. 3. Approve the resolution on page 19 to rezone the westerly half of the Maple Leaf drive -in theater property, 1055 and 1041 Gervais Avenue from BC, business commercial and F, farm residential to M -1, light manufacturing based on the findings required by 4 ordinance and that: a. It would be consistent with the proposed BW designation on the land use plan. b. property is owned by the same owner as the drive-in commercially The F zoned y too the south and can be more easily drive -in property that site. c. The drive -in property has been zoned and used commercially for many years. half Approve the resolution on page 21 to rezone the westerly of north of the Town and Country Manufactured Home of Park property R park from R -1, single dwelling 3 of r�hen Sta�ftreportarbasedlonnthel, as shown on the map on page 1 findings required by ordinance. • 5 • CITIZEN COMMENTS feet for owners within 350 2 were 56 property the i r e p lies mailed surv eys to the this proposected• Staff mail ants regarding t , 4 objecte their cow 2 had n o cowmen in f th al access; r esident ial M -1 zoning n ingle - In_ business and t Avenue; of Demon into us The Separation osed to de- de of put o 1. cul- be f o re it can am str ®n ood• probable a hearing on our am stork requir residential fatally le family�ontAv e a few questions/ Blau uss _ 962 have of this proposal but 2• I am in favor of including the "BM"? co ncerns allowe in uses are „ W „? a .

P1= Low Density Residential (RL) - "This classification is primarily designated for a variety of single_dwellimumhomes. A nn c double dwelling may be allowed 14 people is per net acre" (page 18 -29). • 7 • Medium Density Residential (RM) - "This classification is designated for such housing types as single - family houses on small lots, two - family homes, townhouses, and mobile homes. The maximum population density is 22 people per net acre" (page 18 -30). Limited Service Commercial Centers (LSC) - Limited Service Centers are defined as those providing specialized commercial services on a neighborhood scale, limited as to quantity, location or function, and planned in a quality environment. The community must restrict these centers because of the effect on surrounding properties, yet provide convenience to the citizens with high standards of safety, amenities and aesthetics (p. 18 -17). The limited service commercial center classification refers to commercial facilities on a neighborhood scale. Heavy industrial uses, department stores, motels, auto accessory stores, etc., would be prohibited. Other land uses of a medium intensity nature, such as gas sales with no vehicle repair or maintenance and no more than two fuel pumps on a single island to serve up to four vehicles at one time, may be permitted subject to meeting certain performance standards as defined in the zoning code {p. 18 -31). Business Warehouse (BW) - "Industrial uses found in this classification include government and public utility buildings and structures, storage and warehousing facilities, wholesale business • and office establishments, cartage and express facilities, radio and television stations and other industrial uses of a lower - intensity nature" (p. 18 -31). Existing zoning: F, Farm Residential which allows single - family dwellings, general farming, commercial greenhouses and nurseries. Livestock raising, manufactured home parks and golf courses are permitted with a conditional use permit; R -1, Single Dwelling Residential which allows single - family dwellings, public parks and home occupations. Golf courses and the storage of commercial vehicles are permitted with a conditional use permit; BC, Business and Commercial which allows a wide variety of uses including hotels and motels, retail stores, restaurants, offices, banks, automobile sales lots, and theaters. Places of amusement or recreation, storage yards, used car lots and metal storage buildings are permitted with a conditional use permit; and M -1, Light Manufacturing which allows the permitted uses of the BC district (if not planned LSC or RM), wholesale businesses, custom manufacturing shops, contractors shops, places of amusement, laboratories, offices and warehouses. A conditional use permit is required for used car lots, storage yards, permitted uses of the BC district (if planned LSC or RM) and any building or exterior use conducted within 350 feet of a residential district. 8 " Proposed zoning: F, farm residential and M -1, light manufacturing • Policy criteria from the plan: - make both:theoland should as necessary, to compatible. - Page 18 -5: Renewal, replacement and redevelopment of substandard and /or incompatible development shall be accomplished ithe p lanufor public action - Page 18 -5: Transitions between distinctly differing types of land uses shall be accomplished in an orderly fashion which does not create a negative impact on adjoining developments. - Page 18 -5: Whenever possible, changes in types of land use shall occur along rear property lines so that similar uses front on the same street . . • Public 'Works 1. south will untryumanufactur required manufactured west and park. s 2.

County Road B Minneapolis, MN 55109 Dear Geoff: I Thank you for meeting with me to discuss the William Dunn property. As I indicated to you, I have acquired the William Dunn property. I also own the property to the south and to the west of it identified on your zoning map as "Mobile Nome Park ". I plan to attend the meeting set for January 4, 1990, at the Hazelwood Fire Station. If for some reason I am not able to attend the meeting, I would appreciate it if you would confirm my discussion with you. • With respect to the Dunn property, I would appreciate consideration of M1 zoning for the portion to the east of the dotted line on the zoning map. With respect to the remainder of the property to the west of the dotted line and the Mobile Nome Park, I would appreciate consideration for a farm zoning. With respect to the land use plan, I would appreciate consideration for the land to the east of the dotted line on the zoning map as business warehouse and for the property to the west and for the Mobile Home Park I would appreciate consideration for Rm, which I understand stands for medium density. By using the approach that we discussed, the Mobile Home Park will be consis..eilt wlth your present zoning which I believe provides tor manufactured housing in a farm zoning upon application for a conditional use permit. I realize that the words that I am using are words of art and with that in mind, I would appreciate your comments if I have used any of the words incorrectly or different from what we have discussed. Thank you for your consideration. Very truly ours, 11 r�: 'wil , eefer WJK:llk f III Attachment 5 14 .. . one roveland Terrace 612 377.3536 Minneanolis Minnesota 55403 Dahlgren, Shardlow, and Uban /incorporated DATE: . 7 March 1985 TO: Randy Johnson, City of Maplewood FROM: C. John Uban, ASIA RE: Mapleleaf Theatre Property We have studied the Mapleleaf Theatre property and surrounding area to determine for Jerry Herringer the land use potential for the property. 1. Today the area is a conglomerate of varied uses organized along a single located frontage road. The quality is very mixed, and opportunity for good quality uses to fill in the voids is quite • minimal. 2. The transitions of uses between residential and industrial is nonexistent. The .prime residential areas lie westerly of Cypress Street. Any residential east of Cypress will have to absorb the impact of changing land uses. 3. The ownership pattern in the area severely limits the potential for significant redevelopment. An HRA or the City directly, through a redevelopment district, needs to consolidate land for new development. Rather than promoting strip development along the frontage road, an interior road tsystem nd serving a along new the highway would promote the most theatre property rational and desired development. L.. The theatre property should be zoned to M1, Light Industrial, to match adjacent properties and assist in unifying the land uses in the area. To form a transitional use between the industrial (M1), the trailer court, and the westerly R -1, a portion of the Herringer land should be rezoned to R -3 using Cypress Street as access to County road C. 5. The M1 Zoning District should be restructured to allow the new office /warehouse uses being used in the emerging high-tech parks. Flexibility with good design creates a most successful development. 6. We believe the theatre property, along with others, has an excellent • potential of redeveloping into a quality business park. We strongly urge the City to consider public involvement in assembling and constructing public roads. 15 Attachment 6 atyN -T -• ROAD-- —'" 1�" v�sr -, ire •„ ,: t .•; •� . 4. a . . . - l ..

Attachment 10 • 21 • MEMORANDUM TO: City Manager FROM: Thomas Ekstrand, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Radatz Avenue Street Vacation LOCATION: North of 2806 Maplewood Drive (ABRA) APPLICANT: Highway 61 Partners DATE: December 28, 1989 . SUMMARY INTRODUCTION The applicant is requesting that the Radatz Avenue right -of -way north of ABRA Auto Body be vacated. Reason For The Request ABRA is proposing to expand their parking lot 64 feet to the east, thereby, increasing their impervious surface area coverage on the site to 62 %. Impervious surface area is the area covered by the building and parking lot. The City's shoreland ordinance limits the impervious surface area to 60 %. The vacation of the adjacent Radatz Avenue right -of -way would increase ABRA's site size enough to permit their parking lot expansion while still complying with the shoreland ordinance. ABRA's impervious surface area, with the added site area, would be 56 %. • The City Council has directed Staff to vacate all street and alley rights -of way that are not needed for street or alley development. BACKGROUND The Community Design Review Board approved ABRA on December 27, 1988. A parking shortage was realized after opening, even though there was enough parking to meet code requirements. Overflow parking has been occurring on the undeveloped Radatz Avenue right -of -way north of ABRA, along the Highway 61 frontage road and within drive aisles on the site. CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL Chapter 412.851 of the state statutes requires that "Council may, by resolution, vacate any street . . . if it appears to be in the public interest to do so . . ." DISCUSSION There is no reason to retain this remaining portion of Radatz Avenue, especially since the majority of this roadway has already been vacated. This vacation would also benefit ABRA by allowing them to increase their parking lot area without the need for a variance. RECOMMENDATION northiof the basislth Radatz Avenue that: 1. This right -of -way is not needed for utility or roadway purposes, 2. The majority of Radatz Avenue to the east has already been vacated, 3. The vacation would allow the expansion of the parking lot at 2806 Maplewood Drive without the need for a variance. • • 2 h • CITIZEN COMMENTS Staff mailed surveys to the five property owners within 350 feet for their comments regarding ABRA's proposed parking lot expansion. One survey was returned which was in favor. REFERENCE Site Description The Radatz Avenue right -of -way is undeveloped and is not needed for existing or proposed utility placement or traffic flow. Surrounding Land Uses Radatz Avenue is bordered by ABRA and undeveloped KSTP property. Past Actions 09- 09 -64: The City Council vacated undeveloped Radatz Avenue from English Street to Fitch Street. 10- 24 -88: The City Council vacated English Street right -of -way from Radatz Avenue to Kohlman Avenue.

Adopted this day of , 1990. 7 Attachment 4 • MEMORANDUM TO: City Manager FROM: Ken Roberts, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Land Use Plan Amendment and Rezoning LOCATION: McMenemy Street, South of MnDot Property APPLICANT: City of Maplewood DATE: December 27, 1989 SUMMARY INTRODUCTION The City is proposing a land use plan amendment from RM, medium density residential to RL, low density residential and a rezoning from F, farm residential to R -1, single dwelling residential for the area south of the MnDot property along the west side of McMenemy Street. This is shown on the maps on pages 4 and 5. BACKGROUND On November 16, 1989, the City Council initiated a study by staff of properties which have zoning and land use designations that are inconsistent. The zoning designation for a property defines the current • development rights for the site while the land use plan designation is the City's expected future use of the property. CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL Plan Amendment Plan amendments require no specific findings for approval. Any amendment, however, should be consistent with the City's land use goals and policies. Rezoning Section 36 -485 of the City Code requires the following findings to approve a rezoning: 1. The proposed change is consistent with the spirit, purpose and intent of the zoning code. 2. The proposed change will not substantially injure or detract from the use of neighboring property or from the character of the neighborhood, and that the use of the property adjacent to the area included in the proposed change or plan is adequately safeguarded. 3. The proposed change will serve the best interests and conveniences of the community, where applicable, and the public welfare. • 4. The proposed change would have no negative effect upon the logical, efficient, and economical extension of public services and facilities, such as public water, sewers, police and fire protection and schools. DISCUSSION The current designation for this area on the City's Land Use Plan is not consistent with the existing or probable future use of the land. This area is developed with single - family homes on one -half to one -acre lots. The potential for multiple dwellings on this land seems unlikely, given the number of parcels involved and the preference by those who replied to our survey to maintain the existing use. The Plan should be amended to RL, residential low density, which is the designation for larger lot, single - family homes. The rezoning from F, farm residential to R -1, single - dwelling residential would eliminate the potential for agricultural uses that may be a nuisance in a residential area. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Approve the resolution on page 6 which amends the land use plan for the area south of the MnDot property and west of McMenemy Street from RM, medium density residential to RL, low density residential on the basis that the City does not anticipate any • change in the current use of this area for single - dwelling homes. 2. Approve the resolution on page 7 to rezone the area south of the MnDot property and west of McMenemy Street from F, farm residential to R -1, single- dwelling residential based on the findings required by ordinance. • • CITIZEN COMMENTS Staff mailed surveys to the 27 property owners within 350 feet for their comments regarding this proposal. All 13 replies were in favor. REFERENCE Site Description Area: 208,000 square feet (4.78 acres) Existing land use: 5 single- family dwellings Surrounding Land Uses North: MnDot equipment yard property (zoned M -1) East: McMenemy Street and single - family homes South: Larpenteur East apartments (zoned R -3) West: I -35E Planning Low Density Residential (RL) - "This classification is primaril • designated for a variety of single - dwelling homes. An occasional double dwelling may be allowed. The maximum population density is 14 people per net acre" (page 18 -29). Medium Density Residential (RM) - "This classification is designated for such housing types as single - family houses on small lots, two - family homes, townhouses, and mobile homes. The maximum population density is 22 people per net acre" (page 18 -30). Existing zoning: F, Farm Residential which allows single - family dwellings, general farming, commercial greenhouses and nurseries. Livestock raising, manufactured home parks and golf courses are permitted with a conditional use permit. Proposed zoning: R -1, Single Dwelling Residential which allows single - family dwellings, public parks and home occupations. Golf courses and the storage of commercial vehicles are permitted with a conditional use permit. Attachments 1. Parkside Neighborhood Land Use Map 2. Property Line /Zoning Map 3.
