CR 95-24 Rezoning Adjacent to Westside Business Park \ y 0 " Co ..,. m ..y '" . February 2, 1995 o p to( \ ~ Council Report 95-24 REZONING - AREA ADJACENT TO WESTSIDE BUSINESS PARK Proposed Action. Staff recommends the following motion: Move to approve Resolution 95-7 approving Ordinance 95-756, rezoning the area adiacent to Westside Business Park for first reading. At the January 31, 1995, Zoning and Planning meeting, Mr. Hutchison moved and Mr. Gullickson seconded a motion to approve Resolution RZ95-2, recommending approval of Ordinance 95-756, rezoning the area adjacent to Westside Business Park. The motion carried unanimously. Overview. In an effort to reduce the number of potential multi-family units within the City, the Planning Commission has undertaken a process of amending the Comprehensive Plan to reflect new goals for the City regarding multi-family sites. Also one of the goals in the Strategic Plan for Economic Development was to review the potential multi-family sites and to recommend changes. In conjunction with this process, the Planning Commission has recently reviewed several sites in the City which are either zoned or guided for multi-family to determine if a change is appropriate. . One of the areas that was identified by the Zoning and Planning Commission to be rezoned is the area east of Westside Business Park. This property is currently zoned R-3, Medium Density Multiple Family. The surrounding land use is basically single family. The Comprehensive Plan has designated this area as Low Density Residential. Staff is proposing amending the zoning for this property to R-I-B, Single Family High Density. This change will allow the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance to be in agreement as relates to the future reuse of this property.

Primary Issues to Consider. 0 What has the Comprehensive Planlzoning of the property? The Comprehensive Plan has designated the subject area as low density residential. A rezoning to R-I-B will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation. The subject area is zoned R-3, Medium Density Multiple Family. An R-3 zoning district allows two to four-family homes, townhomes, and multiple dwellings. The area abutting the R-3 area is zoned R~l-B. 0 What types of uses are in tbis area? There are single and two-family homes in the area. All of the eleven single family homes will become a permitted use in an R-I-B district. The two two-family homes will become legal non-conforming. This will allow the owner to upgrade and maintain their structures but not allow them to rebuild with the same use should the building be substantially destroyed. 0 What is the recommendation of the Planning Commission? In its review last year of multi-family sites, the Planning Commission recommended that this area be rezoned from R-3 to R-I-B. The homes in this area are consistent with the homes abutting the area to the east, which is zoned R-I-B. The rezoning will be consistent with the . area. 0 Why is Staff recommending a change? Staff is recommending amending the Zoning Ordinance to reflect the existing land use and to ensure that the single and two-family homes in the area are retained in accordance with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan has designated this area as Low Density Residential. The Strategic Plan has also recommended that various multi-family sites are reviewed within the City and that amendments are made to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance to preserve the single family homes within Hopkins. 0 What is the impact of the rezoning? The impact of the rezoning will be that the subject area cannot be converted to a multi-family area in the future. All the single family homes will become conforming uses and the two-family homes will become legal non-conforming. 0 What notification has been provided to the property owners in the area? Property owners of the subject property were notified, as were property owners within 350 . feet of the subject area. The owners of the two-family homes were notified a second time to inform them that their homes would become legal non-conforming. -- CR95-24 Page 3 . 0 What happened at the Zoning and Planning meeting? At the January 31,1995, Zoning and Planning meeting, Staff reviewed the proposed rezoning with the Commission. Staff noted that the R-I-B zoning district was the zoning on the east side of the subject area. There was no public input received from the audience. Alternatives. 1. Approve the rezoning. By approving the rezoning, the subject property will be rezoned. 2. Deny the rezoning. By denying the rezoning, the subject property will not be rezoned and the area could be developed into a multi-family development in the future. 3. Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further information is needed, the item should be continued. . . .~ ./ 1'.1111I'10, I .. ~.
