Associate Planner Geisler stated it was an attempt to compromise with his concerns and his neighbors concerns.

Case #4 Request for Comprehensive Plan Amendment; Case of City of Ramsey Presentation Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon advised that the Ramsey City Council approved several amendments to the 2001 Ramsey Comprehensive Plan in February, 2002. One of the amendments changed the land use designation for properties that are located south of Highway 10 from Places to Shop and Low Density Residential to Places to Work. At the May 1, 2003 Planning Commission meeting, City Staff brought forward the rezoning of these properties to the new Employment District in compliance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan. He explained that at the May 1, 2003 Public Hearing, several residents of Rivlyn Avenue brought forward their concerns regarding the zoning change of their property to an Employment Zoning designation since among other things, it would make their single - family homes non - conforming uses. He stated the Planning Commission tabled action to the June 5, 2003 Planning Commission meeting while staff re- notified the neighborhood about the pending action. He indicated at the June meeting, the residents presented a petition opposing the rezoning and requested that the City bring forward a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change their single - family homes back to the Low Density Residential designation.
