CR 98-108 Comprehenisive Plan Amendment- Hennepin County SiteJuly 1, 1998
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends the following motion: Move to approve Resolution 98 -42, approving a
Comprehensive Plan amendment for the Hennepin County Public Works site.
At the March Zoning and Planning meeting, Mr. Schumacher moved and Ms. Boen seconded
a motion to approve Resolution RZ98 -2, recommending approval of a Comprehensive Plan
amendment for the Hennepin County Public Works site with the additional condition that the
amendment is not submitted to the Metropolitan Council until the development agreement is
signed. The motion was approved unanimously.
Overview.
The Hennepin County Public Works site is currently designated Business Park and Medium
Density Residential in the Comprehensive Plan. The southwest part of the site is designated
Medium Density Residential, and the majority of the site is designated Industrial.
In order for the SuperValu project to proceed, the Comprehensive Plan needs to be amended.
The proposed designation is Industrial.
Because amending the Comprehensive Plan requires Metropolitan Council approval, which
takes several months, the process is being initiated at this time.
Primary Issues to Consider.
• What is the property zoned?
• How has the Comprehensive Plan designated the subject site?
• What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Supporting Documents.
• Analysis of Issues
• Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map
• Resolution 98 -42

Primary Issues to Consider.
What is the zoning of the property?
The site is zoned I -2, General Industrial.
How has the Comprehensive Plan designated the subject site?
The Comprehensive Plan has designated the site a Business Park and Medium Density
Residential. With the proposed change to Industrial, the Comprehensive Plan and zoning
will be the same.
What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Ms. Anderson reviewed the reasons for the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Schumacher was concerned that if SuperValu did not proceed with the development, the
site would be changed to industrial. The Commission added a condition that the amendment
would not be submitted to the Metropolitan Council until the development agreement is
signed. No one spoke at the public hearing regarding this item.
Alternatives.
1. Approve the Comprehensive Plan amendment. By approving the Comprehensive Plan
amendment, the Hennepin County site will be designated as Industrial in the
Comprehensive Plan.
2. Deny the Comprehensive Plan amendment. By denying the Comprehensive Plan
amendment, the Hennepin County site will remain as Business Park and Medium Density
Residential in the Comprehensive Plan. If the City Council considers this alternative,
findings will have to be identified that support this alternative.
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further information is
needed, the item should be continued.
