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.

. 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.
