By: Principal Planner, Patrick Trudgeon Background: Edina Development, Inc. has submitted an application to rezone certain property located on the northwest comer of Hwy. 47 and 153ra Ave. from R-1 Residential, B-1 Business, and B-2 Business to Multiple Residential. The rezoning would allow the applicant to build a townhouse development. The following items are enclosed for your information: a) Site Location Map b) Copy of zoning map of surrounding area c) General Development Plan d) Letter from Herman and Judi Danholz and Ken and Sharon Niles, property owners, regarding rezoning request. e) Proposed Findings of Fact Notification: Property owners located within 700 feet were notified of the proposed rezoning. State law requires that the City notify property owners within 350 feet be notified. Observations: Edina Development has entered into a purchase agreement with property owners Herman and Judi Danholz and Ken and Sharon Niles. Edina Development is requesting the City rezone approximately 25 acres from R-1 Residential, B-1 Business, and B-2 Business to Multiple Residential. Property to the north is zoned R-1 Residential, to the south the zoning is both B-i, Business and R-l, Single Family. To the east and west the adjacent properties are zoned B-1 and B-2 Business. Over the years, the subject property has consistently shown up in City comprehensive plans as a place for commercial uses. The current Comprehensive Plan (1995) identifies this area for commercial and low density residential. The March 2001 Draft Comprehensive Plan shows the subject property being Places to Shop. A Comprehensive Plan amendment is required since the March 2001 Draft Comprehensive Plan has not been adopted by City Council. Final approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendment will need Ramsey City Council approval.
