Plat <br />The proposed plat of Davis Farms 2nd Addition is proposed to turn these three existing parcels into two lots. By <br />incorporating the area southwest of the ditch into the Hunt's southern parcel in the plat, the possibility of a <br />landlocked parcel is eliminated. <br />Conditional Use Permit Amendment <br />Like in 2017, GVG is proposing a site plan that shows the extent of future greenhouses. It is anticipated that the <br />additional area will take several years before it is filled with greenhouses. The applicant has indicated that the <br />business is not expected to generate additional employees with the expansion and that their delivery trucks have <br />become more efficient, so traffic is not expected to be noticeably increased with the expansion. <br />Funding Source: <br />All costs associated with the application is the responsibility of the applicant. <br />Recommendation: <br />At its meeting on July 28, 2022, the Planning Commission recommended (6-1) to approve the proposal. Concerns <br />about noise and traffic were discussed along with different options for guiding/zoning the Green Valley Greenhouse <br />property. <br />Action: <br />Three motions are required at this time: <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #22-173 approving a Comprehensive Plan amendment re -guiding lands between Low <br />Density Residential and Medium Density Residential southeast of Green Valley Road NW and Nowthen Blvd. <br />NW., subject to review by the Metropolitan Council. <br />Motion to introduce ordinance #22-24 rezoning lands between R-1 MUSA-80 and R-2 southeast of Green Valley <br />Road NW and Nowthen Blvd. NW. <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #22-174 approving a Conditional Use Permit amendment for the expansion of a <br />commercial greenhouse at 6530 Green Valley Road NW., subject to approval of a Comprehensive Plan amendment <br />and rezoning. <br />The motion for final plat approval will be brought forward with the easement vacation resolution on August 26 <br />along with the second reading of the rezoning ordinance. The hearing for the easement vacation was noticed for the <br />meeting on 8/26. <br />Attachments <br />Location Map <br />Narrative <br />Sketch Plan/CUP Site Plan <br />Existing CUP <br />Davis Farms 2nd Addition Final Plat <br />Land Use Application <br />Zoning/Land Use Exhibits <br />Draft Comp Plan Resolution #22-173 <br />Draft CUP Resolution #22-174 <br />Draft Rezoning Ordinance #22-24 <br />
