Because the March 2001 draft Comprehensive Plan has not been adopted by the City Council, approval of the requested rezoning will have to be conditioned on an amendment to the current Comprehensive Plan to expand the MUSA boundary to include the subject property. The request for a comprehensive plan amendment for an expansion of the MUSA boundary is also on tonight's Council agenda for a decision. The Planning Commission met on September 10, 2001 and conducted a public hearing regarding the proposed rezoning. There were no written comments submitted to the City and there was one resident present at the hearing that opposed the rezoning. Another resident wanted to be sure that future access was planned to the north. Recommendation: The Planning Commission recommended that City Council approve the rezoning request. If City Council approves of the comprehensive plan amendment and the rezoning, Staff is recommending adoption of the findings of fact and introducing the ordinance to rezone the property tonight.: The rezoning ordinance, will be submitted to City Council for final, adoption if and when the Metropolitan Council has approved the request for the MUSA expansion.
