REZONING/COMPREHENSIVE PLAN CHANGE -- ALLIANT TECH
PARKING LOTS AND PART OF THE ABM SITE
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends the following motion: Move to approve Resolution 95-52 approving an
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan for the Alliant Tech parking lots from Medium Density
Residential to Low Density Residential and the north 175 feet of the ABM site from Industrial
to Low Density Residential and Ordinance 95-770 that will rezone the north 175 feet of the
ABM site.
At the Zoning and Planning meeting, Mr. Hutchison moved and Mr. Gullickson seconded a
motion to approve Resolution RZ95-] 6, recommending approval of a Comprehensive Plan
amendment and a rezoning. 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 detennine
if a change is appropriate.
The north ] 75 feet of the ABM site is currently zoned R-2 and guided in the Comprehensive
Plan as Industrial. Also, some of the Alliant Tech parking area that is zoned for low density
residential is guided in the Comprehensive Plan as Medium Density Residential. Staff is
recommending that, based on the Comprehensive Plan and zoning, these areas be changed to
Single Family Residential (R-1-C).
Primary Issues to Consider.
o How is the area currently zoned?
o What has the Comprehensive Plan designated the subject area?
o What types of uses are in this area?
o What notification has the neighborhood received?
o What has the Planning Conunission previously recommended for the site?
o What is the Staff recommendation?
o What is the impact of this change?
o What occurred at the Zoning and Planning meeting?

Primary Issues to Consider.
o What is the zoning of the property?
The zoning of the parking lots for Alliant Tech is R-I-C, Single Family Residential, and
R-I-A, Single and Two-Family High Density Residential. The North 175 feet of the ABM
site is zoned R-2, Low Density Multiple Family.
o What has the Comprehensive Plan designated the subject site?
The Comprehensive Plan has designated the Alliant Tech parking lots as Medium Density
Residential. The ABM site is designated as Industrial.
o What types of uses are in this area?
This area is a mixture of industrial uses, single and two-family homes.
o What notification has the neighborhood received?
All property owners within 350 feet of the sites were notified of the proposed rezoning and
the amendments to the Comprehensive Plan.
.
o
What has the Planning Commission recommended for the sites?
The Planning Commission, in a previous discussion, has recommended that the
Comprehensive Plan designation is changed from Medium Density Residential to Low Density
Residential for both sites. With the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, the zoning district
and the Comprehensive Plan designation will be the same.
o What is the Staff recommendation?
Staff is recommending that the north 175 feet of the ABM site is rezoned from R-2 to R-I-C,
and the Comprehensive Plan amended from Industrial to Low Density Residential. Staff
would also recommend that the Comprehensive Plan designation is changed for the Alliant
Tech parking lots from Medium Density Residential to Low Density Residential.
o What is the impact of this change?
The north 175 feet of the ABM site is currently zoned for a residential use. The rezoning to
R-1-C will only have an impact if the site is redeveloped in the future. The zoning ordinance
allows parking lots permitted in a residential district for a business that abuts a residential
district The Comprehensive Plan change will make the Comprehensive Plan and the zoning
consistent for this site.
e
o
What occurred at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Staff reviewed the proposed rezoning and Comprehensive Plan amendment. At the public
hearing Vince Schreier appeared before the Commission. Mr. Schreier spoke in favor of the
rezoning of the ABM site.

Alternatives

Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezoning, the subject property will have the

Plan amendment and rezoning, the subject property will remain the same.
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further information is
needed, the item should be continued.
