REZONING -- 17TH - 20TH A VENUES
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends the following motion. Move to approve Resolution 95-30 approving
Ordinance 95-760 that will rezone the area between 17th and 20th Avenues. south of
Mainstreet. north of County Road 3. from R-2. Low Density Multiple Family to R-1-B.
Single Family High Density for first reading.
At the Zoning and Planning meeting Mr. Hutchison moved and Mr, Gullickson seconded a
motion to approve Resolution RZ95-9 recommending approval of Ordinance 95-760 that will
rezone the area between 17th and 20th Avenues from R-2, Low Density Multiple Family, to
R-1-B, Single Family High Density. The motion carried unanimously.
Overview,
In an effort to reduce the number of potential multi~family units within the City, the Planning
Commission has previously undertaken a process of amending the Comprehensive Plan to
reflect new goals for the City regarding multi-family sites. One of the goals in the Strategic
Plan for Economic Development details for Staff to review the potential multi-family sites and
recommend changes, In conjunction with this process, the Planning Commission has also
reviewed several sites in the City that are either zoned or guided for multi-family to determine
. if a change is appropriate.
One of the areas identified previously by the Staff and the Zoning and Planning Commission to
be changed is the residential area between 17th Avenue and 20th Avenue, south of Main street.
This property is currently zoned R-2, Medium Density Multiple Family. The majority of the
uses are single family homes. The Comprehensive Plan designates 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,

. Primarv Issues to Consider.
0 How is the area currently zoned?
The zoning of the property is R-2, Medium Density Multiple Family. This zoning would
allow two-family dwellings, two-four family dwellings, and townhomes. Approximately 223
units could be added with a medium density residential zoning.
0 What has the Comprehensive Plan designated the subject site?
The Comprehensive Plan has designated the site as Low Density Residential, which basically
corresponds to the existing land uses in the area,
0 What types of uses are in this area?
This area consists of mostly single family homes. There is one two-family home in the area.
This two family home would become non-conforming.
0 What notification has the neighborhood received?
The area to be rezoned and all parcels within 350 feet of the area to be rezoned were notified
of the proposed rezoning and of the public hearing at the April 25 Zoning and Planning
. meeting. A public hearing notice was also published in the paper.
0 What has the Planning Commission previously recommended for the site?
In a previous discussion of the area, the Planning Commission recommended that the site be
rezoned to R-I-A, Single and Two-Family High Density.
0 Why is the Staff recommending a change?
The Staff is recommending a rezoning to R-I-B. The residents in the area expressed a
concern that the R-I-A zoning would allow single-family homes in the area to be converted to
two-family homes. The Staff reviewed the area and detenruned that with the size of the lots in
this area, an R-I-B zoning would keep most of the existing lots conforming.
The staff is recommending amending the Zoning Ordinance in order to maintain the single and
two-family homes in the area. The Comprehensive Plan has designated this area as low
density residential. The Strategic Plan has also recommended that various multi-family sites
be reviewed within the City and that amendments be made to the Comprehensive Plan and
Zoning Ordinance to preserve the single-family homes within Hopkins.
0 What is the impact of this change?
. All the existing single-family homes in the area will become conforming to the new zoning.
The one two-family home will become a non-conforming use. The two-family home will be
able to remain, but if it is destroyed 50 percent or more, any new building must conform to the
permitted uses within the R-I-B zoning district. A single-family home could be constructed.

. 0 What occurred at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Staff reviewed the proposed rezoning and the reasons for the rezoning. Staff noted that this
area is a single family area and now will be zoned as a single family area. Two residents from
the area appeared before the commission. The residents asked various questions regarding the
rezorung.
Alternatives
1. Approve the zoning amendment. By approving the zoning amendment, the subject area
will be rezoned to a single family area and the single family area will be preserved.
2. Deny the zoning amendment. By denying the zoning amendment, the subject area will not
be rezoned and the area could be developed into a multifamily area in the future. If the
City Council considers this option, findings of fact will have to be stated that support the
alternative.
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further information is
needed, the item should be continued.
