Overview The newly approved Comprehensive Plan has designated the sites around the three LRT stations within the City differently than currently zoned. Areas around the proposed LRT stations have been guided Mixed Use. The Mixed Use ordinance was recently adopted by the City Council. The City will now go through a process to rezone these sites. One site is the Hopkins Cold Storage site located at 325 Blake Road. The existing use of a warehouse can remain. The impact will be that there can be no expansion of the existing use. This rezoning is a process to prepare various parcels within ^ the City for future redevelopment. Primarv Issues to Consider • What is the Comprehensive Plan designation? • What is the existing zoning of the subject site? • What does the Mixed Use zoning allow? • Should the site be rezoned from I-2 to Mixed Use? • What has happened since this item was continued from the September meeting? Supporting Documents • Analysis of Issues • Mixed Use Ordinance • Resolution RZ11-11 • Ordinance 11-1034 Nancy S. Anderson, AICP Planner � Financial Impact: $ N/A Budgeted: Y/N Source: Related Docuinents (CIP, ERP, etc.): Notes: i� �� ZN 11-6 Page 2 ^ Primarv Issues to Consider • What is the Comprehensive Plan designation? The Comprehensive Plan has designated the site as Mixed Use. • What is the existing zoning of the subject site`.' The site is zoned I-2, General Industrial. • What does the Mixed Use zoning allow? The Mixed Use zoning district allows commercial and residential uses. • Should the site be rezoned from I-2 to Mixed Use? The I-2 zoning is an industrial zoning. The LRT station will be on the west side of Blake Road, and it seems logical that any redevelopment that will happen around this station be redeveloped for a higher use than an industrial use. Comprehensive Plan has designated the site as Mixed Use. --� • What has happened since this item was continued from the September meeting? Since the August meeting, the Minnehaha Watershed District has executed a purchase agreement for 325 Blake Road. The site is approximately 17 acres. The Watershed District will retain approximately 3 to 5 acres for creek restoration and will sell the remaining property for redevelopment. Any redevelopment will have to comply with the permitted uses in the mixed use zoning district. Alternatives 1. Recommend approval of the rezoning. By recommending approval of the rezoning, the City Council will consider a recommendation of approval. 2. Recommend denial of the rezoning. By recommending denial of the rezoning, the City Council will consider a recommendation of denial. If the Planning Commission considers this alternative, findings will have to be identified that support this alternative. 3. Continue for further information. If the Planning Commission indicates that further information is needed, the item should be continued. --� �-r aRnd Cll'�J.�.1[tiC21��.1QCC[0� �T�7�7 �71 � l 31� I 1 ri a. � uzid asil P�'I-Z'b ainSig I � pue11�M �r ��e�ss2uisng i pao��iey � as�i Pa;qV`I �;`� }� �euoi�naiisu�/.i�qn,� � �ea�2wwo�� i �-U C� � � U U I W �ie�l � �eguepisaa�(lisua�y6iH � �yed � �egu?pisaa.4;isu24 wnip2N� _ � a�edg ued�� pgu3pisaa��isuaa Mo� -- � — _----- - rs�no�}�o� s�ao�ed � j � ! �eu,snP'�I a tiepuno �;r� j ,__- � i _ 9 _ _- � i 1 uage7S 1211 Pasodad � �� 69� •..�,�; - 1j �� J`�: �_ � uip � `� _ � � ; � i ~ i �� , �^ � � � � I � ,,� ::. �> - — '� L.:S�. _" i -------� - - � � � "� � �� ,s�� ,� �� . � � � j� �� I ^�� I ��,'�' j r� , f�� `� � . � . --} �:� ri � _i -�� _ I { L.�v'_�'_ � _. �� //� N ! � i �� -- j �f:. �- � •�, ,;�,`'T--�-' -� i i __ - ' ' � - I._�� I � � ;� + ,�� _ �"� — � - l � I � � � -,� � �) �� ( ( � � �_ � ��: _ � �� ..� � �., � � , � � - � � ; �� -- � , - , - , , �� .�. , , , � �;�►► �.} �. � .,,._.�.....��_ ; .. _ __ : _ _.r.;._- L ` , • � __ ___ -. _ i � � � ',OD p0i 5 9I9�L 'Ir�O.L P'cr'� 69l �`� I I :-�i, � �_CST �SS=_t .11t�y _��,_� - � �"�,�:f�5 $S-�:l percP�_�1 i _.... .. . �. ...; -.;^.
