This is the update of the city's comprehensive land use plan required of all metro area cities every ten years. By approving this plan, the city council reestablished the long-range land use guide for the city. State law requires that the city now revise our zoning map and zoning ordinance controls to be in conformance with the newly approved land use classifications throughout the city. The city has nine months (by October 25,2010) to make all necessary zoning map and zoning ordinance changes to coincide with the land use policies and land use maps in the approved 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Proposal One such rezoning would be for the westerly half of the undeveloped property located southwest of the intersection of White Bear Avenue and County Road C between the Regal Car Wash and the former Super America Fuel Station. The reason for this rezoning is to bring the zoning of this property into conformance with the C (commercial) comprehensive land use plan designation specified in the city's updated comprehensive land use plan. This property has two zonings, one of which is not consistent with the land use plan. These zonings are F (farm residential) and BC (business commercial). The F zoning of the west half of the property must be changed to BC to be consistent with the comprehensive land use plan. The easterly half of the site is currently zoned BC (business commercial) which is equivalent to the C (commercial) land use designation. Therefore, only the F zoning must be changed to the BC zoning. Please refer to the attached maps. Request Rezone the above property from F to BC. BACKGROUND On December 9, 2009, the Metropolitan Council gave final approval to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. On January 25, 2010, the city council adopted the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. DISCUSSION Statutory Requirement Section 473.865 subdivision 3 of the Minnesota State Statutes requires that cities amend their official zoning controls within nine months of their adopting their revised comprehensive land use plan, As stated above, the city council has until October 25, 2010 to amend all applicable zoning maps and zoning ordinances. Why the Proposed Revision to Business Commercial? During the city council's review of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan update, staff reviewed the zoning map looking for inconsistencies with the comprehensive plan and this site was identified, The 2030 Comprehensive Plan guides this entire site as commercial and the zoning for the entire parcel needs to match this designation. Property Tax Impact Property owners have asked what would happen to their property taxes if their zoning changed. The Ramsey County Tax Assessor's office stated that: "Zoning has no affect on property tax. Tax classifications are based on the current use of the property, not on the zoning. The tax classification, along with the market value is used to calculate taxes. If the current use is continued, the tax classification will not change. So, zoning changes will not affect taxes." Conclusion State statute requires that the city revise the zoning map to BC to match the adopted commercial classification on the comprehensive plan. Therefore, staff is recommending the city council revise the zoning map accordingly, RECOMMENDATION Approve the rezoning of the westerly half of the undeveloped property located southwest of the intersection of White Bear Avenue and County Road C between the Regal Car Wash and the former Super America Fuel Station, from F (farm residential) to BC (business commercial). This rezoning is based on Minnesota Statute 473.865 subdivision 3, requiring the city to bring the zoning of these properties into conformance with the adopted comprehensive land use plan classification.

The property identification number identifying the affected property is: PIN 11-29-22-22-0041 WHEREAS, On January 25, 2010, the city council adopted the 2030 Comprehensive Plan that reclassified the land use plan for the above referenced properties to Commercial. WHEREAS, Section 473.865 subdivision 3 of the Minnesota State Statutes requires that cities amend their official zoning map within nine months of their adopting their revised comprehensive land use plan to match the new land use classification. WHEREAS, the history of this change is as follows: 1. On May 18, 2010, the planning commission held a public hearing to consider this rezoning. The city staff published a hearing notice in the Maplewood Review and sent notices to the surrounding property owners. The planning commission gave everyone at the hearing a chance to speak and present written statements prior to their recommendation. 2. On , 2010, the city council discussed the proposed zoning map change. They considered reports and recommendations from the planning commission and city staff. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the city council the above- described change in the zoning map based on Minnesota Statute 473.865 subdivision 3, requiring the city to bring the zoning of this property into conformance with the adopted comprehensive land use plan classification, The Maplewood City Council approved this resolution on ,2010. MEMORANDUM LOCATION: VOTE REQUIRED: DATE: James Antonen, City Manager Michael Martin, AICP, Planner DuWayne Konewko, Community Development and Parks Director Rezoning of the Vacant Property South of lower Afton Road and west of the Fire Station 4 from F (farm residential) to R3 (multi-family residential) South of Lower Afton Road Simple Majority Required for Approval May 11, 2010 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION On January 25, 2010, the city council adopted the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. This is the update of the city's comprehensive land use plan required of all metro area cities every ten years. By approving this plan, the city council reestablished the long-range land use guide for the city. State law requires that the city now revise our zoning map and zoning ordinance controls to be in conformance with the newly approved land use classifications throughout the city. The city has nine months (by October 25,2010) to make all necessary zoning map and zoning ordinance changes to coincide with the land use policies and land use maps in the approved 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Proposal One such rezoning would be for the undeveloped property located on the south side of Lower Afton Road, north of Connemara Condominiums. The reason for this rezoning is to bring the zoning of this property into conformance with the MDR (Medium Density Residential) comprehensive land use plan designation specified in the city's comprehensive land use plan. This property is currently zoned F (farm residence district), The F zoning must be changed to R3 (multiple dwelling residential) to be consistent with the medium density residential comprehensive land use plan designation. The R3 zoning classification is equivalent to MDR land use plan designation. Please refer to the attached maps. This request is not associated with any proposed development. While the land is vacant, staff has had no recent discussions with anybody regarding potential development of this site. This rezoning request is solely based on the city's efforts to ensure all zoning matches the comprehensive plan, as required by state statute. Request Rezone the above property from F to R3. BACKGROUND On December 9, 2009, the Metropolitan Council gave final approval to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. On January 25, 2010, the city council adopted the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. DISCUSSION Statutory Requirement Section 473.865 subdivision 3 of the Minnesota State Statutes requires that cities amend their official zoning controls within nine months of their adopting their revised comprehensive land use plan. As stated above, the city council has until October 25, 2010 to amend all applicable zoning maps and zoning ordinances. Why the Proposed Revision to Multiple Dwelling? During the city council's review of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan update, staff reviewed the zoning map looking for inconsistencies with the comprehensive plan and this site was identified. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan guides this entire site as MDR and the zoning needs to match this designation. The undeveloped area has been guided as medium density or its equivalent by the comprehensive plan for many years prior to the recent update. This rezoning is a result of the efforts by staff and the planning commission to ensure zoning matches the comprehensive plan throughout the city. This request is not associated with any development proposals. Property Tax Impact Property owners have asked what would happen to their property taxes if their zoning changed. The Ramsey County Tax Assessor's office stated that: "Zoning has no affect on property tax. Tax classifications are based on the current use of the property, not on the zoning. The tax classification, along with the market value is used to calculate taxes. If the current use is continued, the tax classification will not change, So, zoning changes will not affect taxes." Conclusion State statute requires that the city revise the zoning map to R3 to match the adopted MDR classification on the comprehensive plan. Therefore, staff is recommending the city council revise the zoning map accordingly, RECOMMENDATION Approve the rezoning of the undeveloped property located on the south side of Lower Afton Road, north of Connemara Condominiums, from F (farm residential) to R3 (multiple dwelling residential). This rezoning is based on Minnesota Statute 473.865 subdivision 3, requiring the city to bring the zoning of these properties into conformance with the adopted comprehensive land use plan classification.

MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: James Antonen, City Manager Michael Martin, AICP, Planner DuWayne Konewko, Community Development and Parks Director Reconsideration of the Rezoning of the Lots Fronting on Dorland Road, Heights Avenue and Overlook Circle from R1 (single dwelling residential) to R-1 R (rural conservation dwelling district) South of Carver Avenue, west of 1-494 Simple Majority Required for Approval May 11, 2010 TO: FROM: LOCATION: VOTE REQUIRED: DATE: INTRODUCTION At its May 10, 2010 meeting, the city council tabled the rezoning of the lots fronting on Dorland Road, Heights Avenue and Overlook Circle. The city council did not agree with the recommendation to rezone these single-family home sites to RE 30 (residential estate). The city council directed staff to bring this rezoning back to the planning commission for their information and comment and then back to the council on June 14, 2010 to rezone the properties R-1 R (rural conservation dwelling district). On January 25,2010, the city council adopted the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. This is the update of the city's comprehensive land use plan required of all metro area cities every ten years. By approving this plan, the city council reestablished the long-range land use guide for the city. State law requires that the city now revise our zoning map and zoning ordinance controls to be in conformance with the newly approved land use classifications throughout the city. Proposal This rezoning would be for the 25 single dwellings located along Dorland Road, Heights Avenue and Overlook Circle from R1 (single dwelling) to R-1 R (rural conservation dwelling district). Refer to the maps. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan has guided these 25 parcels as rural low density residential. Because of this guide, the city now needs to rezone all 25 parcels to a zoning district that is consistent with the comprehensive plan. The city council wants to use the R-1 R district for these homes so that they are consistent with other residentially zoned properties nearby. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan's rural low density residential designation and the R-1 R zoning district are consistent with one another. All legal lots today will continue to be legal lots under the R-1 R zoning district. Request Rezone the above described properties from R1 to R-1 R. BACKGROUND On December 9, 2009, the Metropolitan Council gave final approval to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. On January 25, 2010, the city council adopted the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. April 20, 2010: The planning commission recommended approval of the rezoning of these properties from R1 to RE 30. May 10, 2010: The city council tabled the rezoning and directed staff to bring the matter back on June 14, 2010 in order to rezone the properties to R-1 R. DISCUSSION Statutory Requirement Section 473.865 subdivision 3 of the Minnesota State Statutes requires that cities amend their official zoning controls within nine months of adopting the revised comprehensive land use plan. As stated above, the city council has until October 25, 2010 to amend all applicable zoning maps and zoning ordinances, Property Tax Impact Residents have asked what would happen to their property taxes if their zoning changed. The Ramsey County Tax Assessor's office stated that: "Zoning has no affect on property tax. Tax classifications are based on the current use of the property, not on the zoning. The tax classification, along with the market value is used to calculate taxes. If the current use is continued, the tax classification will not change. So, zoning changes will not affect taxes." Conclusion State statute requires that the city revise the zoning map to match the newly adopted rural low density residential classification on the comprehensive plan. Rezoning these properties to R-1 R would satisfy this requirement. Therefore, staff is recommending the city council revise the zoning map accordingly. RECOMMENDATION Approve the rezoning of the single family dwellings fronting Dorland Road, Heights Avenue and Overlook Circle from R1 (single dwelling) to R-1 R (rural conservation dwelling district). This rezoning is based on Minnesota Statute 473.865 subdivision 3, which requires the city to bring the zoning of these properties into conformance with the adopted comprehensive land use plan classification. 2 REFERENCE SITE DESCRIPTION Site Size: 25 parcels ranging from 0.27 acres to 0,52 acres in size Existing Uses: Single-family dwellings SURROUNDING LAND USES North: Single dwellings South: Creek County Open Space East: Single dwellings and vacant land West: Single dwellings and Fish Creek County Open Space PLANNING Land Use Plan Designation: Rural Low Density Residential Zoning: R1-existing; R-1R-proposed p:Compplanlzoning follow-up to 2030 Planlrezoning to R1R_Dorland_ PC_051810 Attachments: 1.

The Maplewood City Council this resolution on ,2010, 4 MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: LOCATION: DATE: James Antonen, City Manager Tom Ekstrand, Senior Planner DuWayne Konewko, Community Development and Parks Director Feed Products North-Informal Review 1300 McKnight Road May 12, 2010 TO: FROM: INTRODUCTION Request/Project Description John Fallin, owner of Feed Products North, is requesting that the planning commission review a multi-family development concept for his property at 1300 McKnight Road. Mr. Fallin would appreciate the planning commission's comments regarding his development concept. Does the planning commission feel that multi-family development is suited for this property? What are their concerns? Their land use preference? Any recommendations? Would TIF (tax increment financing) be considered? This development layout includes Mr. Fallin's undeveloped property west of Lakewood Drive (2.19 acres) as well as the major portion of his property currently developed with his warehousing and distribution business (30.35 acres). The development, as shown on the site plan, would have 195 multi-family units as follows: . Six 12-unit carriage homes . Three 1 O-unit carriage homes . Five 8-unit carriage homes . One 7-unit carriage home . Six 6-unit carriage homes . One 4-unit carriage home . Two 3-unit carriage homes Total-195 units Zoning and Land Use The applicant's property is currently zoned and planned for M1 (light manufacturing). To redevelop this property with 195 multi-family units would require that the applicant request the high density residential land use plan designation. High density residential (HDR) would allow a density range of 10.1 to 25 units per net acre. For comparison, medium density residential would allow 6.1 to 10 units per net acre. "Net acreage" is the lot area minus the undevelopable land covered by wetlands, wetland buffers or right-of-way. According to Mr. Fallin's drawing, there would be 16 net acres available for development. Density Calculations Medium Densitv Residential 10 (units per net acre) x 16 (acres) = 160 units Hiqh Densitv Residential 25 (units per net acre) x 16 (acres) = 400 units Medium density would not meet the applicant's proposed density of 195 units. The maximum number of units within the high density residential range would easily allow the proposed 195 units. The attached plan, of course, is conceptual. Other factors affect the number of units such as providing required setbacks, setting aside an area for a possible tot lot, landscaping amenities, tree preservation requirements, storm water pond requirements, etc. Background Mr. Fallin previously worked with Melinda Coleman, former community development director/assistant city manager, on this development concept. Refer to Mr. Fallin's cover letter and the attached memo from Ms. Coleman. At that time, Mr. Fallin was also considering requesting TIF (tax increment financing) to assist the development. Mr, Fallin would still like to pursue TIF to help finance the development. Please refer to the memo from Krass Monroe, PA Application Materials Required At this time, the required applications that staff can envision which Mr. Fallin would need to submit are: . Land use plan amendment from M1 to HDR . Rezoning from M1 to R3 (multiple dwelling residential). An option to rezoning would be to apply for a CUP (conditional use permit) for a PUD, (planned unit development) however, the land use plan change must still take place. . Design approval by the community design review board . TIF application . Variances? The need for any variance is undetermined at this time. 2 Other information required for review: . Traffic analysis report . Wetland delineation report . Noise impact analysis, perhaps, due to the train activity on the RR tracks . Complete civil engineering drawings with erosion control and storm water calculations . TIF reformat to demonstrate the need for assistance CONCLUSION Please review the attached materials and give Mr. Fallin your comments on his proposed development concept when the planning commission meets on May 18. p:sec24-29\Feed Products Development Concept Review 5 10 Attachments: 1.

The surronding area is zoned R-l, R-2, R-3 and PUD, F operates under many approved CUP's because of our proximity to residential homes. In July of 2005, city staff introduced a memo (attached) to the city council summarizing a neighborhood survey for the potential long term and best use of the FPS property. The unerlining concept was to stabilze the nieghborhood, improve the the landscape of the community and rnake the property more conforming to the surronding area, Feed Products North, Inc, is in support of this concept and would like the Planning Commission to embark on a long term strategy to find the best and highest use for this nonconforming property, To do so we would like the City of Maplewood to consider all tools available to assiting this community stabilization project, Attached are more documents depicting prior proposed concept plans and potential tax increment funds available assist the redevelopment, Consideration should be given to the city property and preserve adjacent to our facility which are land locked by our property, I look forward to discussing the opportunity of improving our community by redevelopment of a propertry that is non conforming, Kindest regards, ;yet~~.
