From: Nancy Anderson
Re: Comprehensive Plan sites to consider
1. This area is a residential area consisting of single and two family dwellings.
The current zoning is R -2. The Comprehensive Plan suggests R -1 -A, B. This
area consists of smaller lots, it may be logical to change to R -1 -A, B.
2. Site of Fina Gas Station and.Bakers Square. The current zoning is I -2. The
Comprehensive Plan suggests R- 4:`- tecommendati.on - it would be more logical
to keep the current zoning of I -2 as property abuts Blake Road.
3. Site of William H. McCoy Petroleum Fuels Inc. The Comprehensive Plan suggests
B -2, 3. Recommendation the current zoning of I -2 probably should be kept
I -2 to prevent spot zoning.
4. This area in a parking lot for Honeywell, currently it is zoned R -1 -C. The
Comprehensive Plan suggests a change to B -2, 3. There are no other Business
areas around this.site if Honeywell leaves at some future date, area would be
• used for homes.
5. This area is a residential area with single family dwellings, 2 family dwellings
and 2 -4 family dwellings. The current zoning is R -2. The.Comprehensive Plan
suggests R -1 A, B. Recommendation - this area contains many multiple family
dwellings and should remain R -2 district which is allowed.
6. The site of Rapid Oil Change currently zoned B -3. The Comprehensive Plan
suggests a change to R -1 -A, B. Recommendation - this area is a good business
location on Blake & Excelsior and should remain B -3.
7. Site of Chapel View currently zoned R -4. The Comprehensive Plan suggests a
change to R -1 -A, B. Recommendation - remain R -4 as the present use is multiple
residential.
8. A residential area zoned R -4. The Comprehensive Plan suggests R -2, 3. Recom-
mendation - remain R -4 there is currently no other R -2, 3 district in the area.
Rezoning this small area could be considered spot zoning. Also, with the present
downtown redevelopment plan higher density surrounding the CBD is logical.
9. Site of Hopkins Village Apartments, currently zoned B -3. The Comprehensive Plan
suggests a change to R -4. Recommendation - is to leave as B -3 as abuts Excelsior
Avenue and majority of uses presently commercial and residential is allowed in
this zoning district.
• 10. Site of Minnetonka Mills and Rainbow Sign, currently zoned I -1. The Comprehensive
Plan suggests.a change to B -2. Recommendation leave as I -1 as expansion of the
B -2 CBD zoning in this area would be inappropriate.

district would not be suitable for this area.

THE CURRENT ZONING DISTRICTS
THE STUDY
This is a comparison of the current zoning districts within
the boundries of the City of Hopkins and the land use
planning map presented in the 1990 Comprehensive Plan.
This comparison presents the deviations from the 1990
Comprehensive Plan. The areas that are a departure from the
Comprehensive Plan appear to be relatively minor, with the
exception being the Southwest portions.
The identification of the recreation and open areas, in the
Comprehensive Plan, are not included within the current
zoning arrangement. The recreation and open areas are
currently either zoned residential or business.
Most of the discrepancies found are within the residential
districts. The deviations are simply a change in the zoning

THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN /LAND USE GOALS
The Comprehensive Plan's land use goals were intended to
refine the basic structures and provide additional
indications of goals for the future. This comparison is
presented to supplement the following goals that are the
specific proposals for guiding the community's land use
growth and maintenance to the year 1990. The format of the
following section is identification of specific city land
use goals by topic as presented in the 1990 Comprehensive
Plan.
General Goals
To maximize the choice of lifestyle opportunities and build
a community with ample choice of housing accommodations, job
opportunities, goals and services and leisure time
activities.
Provide a positive attitude toward the community's future
which will perpetrate renewal and maintenance of the city's
real estate.
To develop a community structure which may be conveniently
governed and serviced and is free of land use conflict.
Residential Land Use
To establish and maintain the solid tradition of home
ownership within the City of Hopkins with the emphasis on
achieving this goal with single family, two family,
townhouse condos and zero lotline type of structures.
Industrial Land Use
To continue the development of an industrial land use base
which provides employment to residents, augments the
commercial economy and is an economically stabilizing
influence on the community.
Industrial land use within the city will be an attractive
part of the cityscape and will be developed and operated as
desirable neighbors.
