The <br />City Council reviewed the request on December 11, 2001 and denied the comprehensive plan <br />amendment request. During the meeting, some of the council members indicated a willingness <br />to review a comprehensive plan amendment request for medium density residential uses. <br />Subsequently, Edina Development, Inc. has submitted an application for a comprehensive plan <br />amendment to change the land use designation on the subject property from commercial and <br />single family residential to medium density residential. The comprehensive plan amendment, <br />coupled with their rezoning request, would allow the applicant to construct a townhouse <br />development.
