Prilp Lry Issues to Consider
What is the Comprehensive Plan designatioO
The Comprehensive Plan has designated the site as Business Park.
0 What is tile existinu zoviing of the subject site?
The site is zoned 1-2, General Industrial.
What (loes the Business Park zoning allow?
The Business Pall-. district allows office and a limited an -count of warehouse. Limited
retail is allowed if the product is manufactured onsite.
What has St. Lonis Park zoned and guided their part of the building?
St. Louis Park has guided the parcel IG, General Industrial. The parcel is zoned IND,
Industrial.
• Should the site be rezoned from 1-2 to Business Park?
The 1-2 zonim0 , is an industrial zoning. The existing use of this building is an office and
warehouse use. With the proposed LRT to the north it is perceived that this site would have
a higher case than an industrial use. The current uses can remain in the building. The new
zoning will. be triggered either when the site is vacant for a period of one year or the site is
redeveloped.
