Rezoning-Southwest Corner of Cityr
August 13, 1985
Case No: 85 -40
Location: Southwest Corner of City
Subject: Rezoning
The proposed rezoning is for two parcels described as follows:
(A) The West one -half of the Southwest Quarter of the Southwest
Quarter of Section 25, Township 117, Range 22 from R -6 Resi-
dential to B -1 Business (Southwest 20 acres - owner Berglund
and Johnson)
(8) T=he West ore h alf of the Northwest Quarter of the Southwest
- Quarter of Section 25, Township 117, Range 22, lying south
of the northerly 600 feet (Southerly portion of the former
City landfill property).
Parcel 'A' is presently zoned R -6 Medium Density Residential. The zoning
change proposed for this site is B -1 Business. This would allow for office develop-
ment similar to what is being built to the south in the Opus development.
Parcel 'A' site is designated as business /industrial in the 1990 Compre-
hensive Plan. It was changed from a residential use in 1982. This change was en-
acted by the Planning and Zoning Commission because there was a concern that the
present street system and recreation facilities in this part of the City could not
adequately serve the future residential densities possible.
The surrounding uses are both Commercial and Residential. The Opus de-
velopment is located adjacent to the site in Minnetonka. A fairly large scale resi-
dential development is presently being completed directly to the south. The Beachside
Townhouses are located to the west. The former Hopkins Landfill is to the north.
Parcel 'B' is also zoned R -6. It is proposed that this property be changed
to I -1 Industrial which would be a continuation of the industrial zoning to the north.
Such a use would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation. Because of
soil conditions, this site has very limited uses, with industrial being the most logi-
cal.
