CASE <br /> <br />By: <br /> <br /> REQUEST FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT <br /> SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 10 <br /> CASE OF CITY OF RAMSEY <br />Patrick Trudgeon, AICP; Assistant Community Development Director <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The 2001 Comprehensive Plan shows the property south of Highway 10, west of the wayside rest <br />area as Low Density Residential. Staff brought forward an amendment this past spring to change <br />the property's zoning from business to residential to conform to the approved Comprehensive <br />Plan. Property owners of the affected parcels raised concerns regarding having the land <br />designation changed solely to residential. After several City Council work sessions and <br />discussions with the Planning Commission, City Staff is bringing forth a Comprehensive Plan <br />Amendment to change the land use from Low Density Residential to Mixed Use, which woUld <br />allow for a mixture of residential and commercial uses. <br /> <br />The following items are 'enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />a) Site Location Map <br />b) Exhibit showing properties subject to Comprehensive Plan Amendment <br />c) Planning Commission Meeting Minutes dated August 7, 2003 <br />d) City Council Minutes dated August 26, 2003 <br />e) City Council Work Session Minutes dated October 7, 2003 <br />f) Draft Planning Commission Meeting Minutes dated November 6, 2003 <br />g) Adopted MU-PUD Zoning District <br />h) Proposed Resolution approving the request and authorizing submittal to Metropolitan <br /> Council <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />State law requires that the City notify property owners within 350 feet be notified. Staff <br />attempted to notify property owners within 700 feet of the subject property. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />At the May 1st, 2003 Planning Commission meeting, City Staff brought forward the rezoning of <br />properties along Hwy. 10 to comply with the Comprehensive Plan. During the Public Hearing, <br />the property owners brought forward their concerns regarding changing their property to R-1 <br />Residential zoning, suggesting that business was a better use of the Highway 10 property. The <br />Planning Commission tabled action on the rezoning and directed staff to forward the matter to <br />the City Council for its consideration. <br /> <br /> <br />
