AMENDMENTS TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends the following motion: Move to ap�rove Resolution RZ95-21
recommending approval of changes to the Comprehensive Plan re arding residential housin�
Overview.
In conjunction with discussions as part of preparation of the Economic Development Strategic
Plan, there was a concern regarding the number of new multi-family developments that can be
constructed within the City. One of the goals and action steps in the Strategic Plan was to
specifically review the multi-family housing sites and deternune if changes to the Zoning
Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan are appropriate.
The first step was to amend the Comprehensive Plan to reflect the new goals and objectives of
the residential policies within the City; this was completed last year. Then various sites were
rezoned and the Comprehensive Plan land use map amended. Now, the language in the
� Comprehensive Plan needs to be amended to reflect the new land use objectives for the
various sites.
Primarv Issues to Consider.
o What sections need to be removed, amended or added in the Comprehensive
Plan?
o What are the next steps?

Primary Issues to Consider.
o What sections need be removed, amended or added in the Comprehensive Plan?
The following are sections that need be removed, amended, or added in the Comprehensive
Plan to reflect the new direction of the City:
LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Page 23
The Hopkins Land Use Plan is illustrated by Figure 3 and includes only minor changes from
the present pattern of development, as outlined below. The principal thrust of the Land Use
Plan is not to make wholesale change in the pattern of development but, rather, to achieve
better quality site planning and use the land in a way that reflects its very limited availability
and good access. The policies enunciated on the following pages follow that intention.

On the fringes of downtown between First Street North and Excelsior Boulevard,
single-family and two-family housing, this area will be

PFIYSICAL PLAN
Page 45
The Downtown Hopkins Land Use Plan is illustrated by Figure 6. Downtown Hopkins is
planned to continue its tight-knit pattern of commercial development along either side of
Mainstreet e�ending down to (and in some locations) across Excelsior Boulevard.
Commercial activity is targeted in the vicinity of(but not limited to) the four-block-long core
from 8th to 12th Avenues. ?��� nn„1 hieh �,lrrn��+•� �.o;.�:��. �T«,�n�����,,�

Thus, the plan envisions that the present pattern of commercial, residential, and public land
use would be continued with only a few exceptions as follows.

HOUSING REDEVELOPMENT
Page 70
There are certain locations in the community where it has become appropriate to allow and
encourage housing redevelopment, and examples are listed below. In these locations, the City
has indicated its land use intentions through the Land Use Plan and the Zoning Ordinance and
� Map. The City will allow the private market to respond to those local controls and will, on a
case-by-case basis, consider financial participation in housing redevelopment projects when
that is the only means of achieving needed and demonstrable public benefits consistent with
this Comprehensive Plan.
Examples of locations for redevelopment to attached housing follow.
