Thomas Austin, hereinafter referred to as "Applicant", has properly applied to rezone certain property from B-1 Business to R-1 Rural Residential. That the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing pursuant to Section 9.03.03 of the City Code on August 6, 1996 and that said public heating was properly advertised and that the minutes of said public heating are hereby incorporated by reference. 3. That the property proposed to be rezoned is legally described as follows: The easterly 158.00 feet of Government Lot 4, Section 19, Township 32, Range 25, Anoka County, Minnesota ("the Subject Property"). 4. That the total area of the Subject Property to be rezoned is approximately 4.7 acres in size. o That the adjacent parcels to the east and west and the parcels on the north side of T.H. gl0 are zoned B-1 Business. That the Subject Property is in the Critical River Corridor and there is a pre-existing dwelling on the Subject Property that is not in conformance with the established structure setbacks from the Mississippi River. That the Applicant desires to demolish the existing dwelling and construct a new dwelling on the Subject Property that will be in conformance with the regulations of the Mississippi Critical River Corridor. o That the 1980 Comprehensive Plan indicates that the existing zoning on the property was B-1 Business, that the existing use was residential, and that the proposed zoning map of 1990 should convert the Subject Property and the adjacent parcels to the east and west to R- i Rural Residential. That history bears out that there is not a demand for commercial uses in the area of the Subject Property and a rezoning to R-1 Rural Residential will allow the continuance of a reasonable use of the property. 10. That the proposed zoning amendment will not substantially adversely impair the use or market value of any surrounding property. 11. That the proposed zoning amendment will not change the essential character of the area.
