To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jason Lindahl, City Planner
Date: May 18, 2021
Subject: 11524 Excelsior Boulevard – Second Reading of Ordinance 2021-1168
Establishing the Zoning Classification as B-3, General Business District
Proposed Action
Staff recommends the City Council approve the following motion:
• Move to adopt Resolution 2021-028 approving the second reading of Ordinance 2021-1168
establishing the zoning classification for the property located at 11524 Excelsior Boulevard
(PID 23-117-22-44-0160) as B-3, General Business District
Overview
This application was initiated by staff as a “housekeeping” item to assign future land use and zoning
classifications to property annexed from Minnetonka into Hopkins. This annexation was approved
by Minnetonka, Hopkins and the State of Minnesota Office of Administrative Hearings in June
2020. The subject property is located at 11524 Excelsior Boulevard or the northwest quadrant of
Excelsior Boulevard and Shady Oak Road. Based on the findings detailed in City Council Report
2021-047, both the Planning & Zoning Commission and staff recommend the subject property be
assigned a zoning classification of B-3, General Business.
The City Council approved the first reading of this rezoning ordinance and a comprehensive plan
amendment to establish a future land use category for the subject property on May 4, 2021. Prior to
that action, the Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing to review these items and
recommended approval by the City Council on April 27, 2021.
Should the City Council approve the second reading of this ordinance, the subject property will be
assigned a zoning classification of B-3, General Business District subject to approval of the
comprehensive plan amendment by the Metropolitan Council.
