1. On November 1, 2011, the planning commission held a public hearing. 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. The planning commission recommended that the city council

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the city council approved the above
described change for the following reasons:
1. The properties are presently developed with single dwellings which would be compatible with
a land use classification of LDR.

foreseeable future.
3. The single dwelling development of these lots is compatible with abutting residential
development to the east, but they are also compatible land uses to the fire station and office
building to the north and south.
4. The reclassification to LDR would eliminate an inconsistency between the zoning map and
land use plan.
This action is subject to the approval of this land use plan amendment by the Metropolitan
Council.
