Jim Niirman - Re: Comprehensive Plan Amendment <br />James P. Uttley, AICP, Sr. Planner <br />Planning and Growth Management Dept. <br />Metropolitan Council <br />230 East Fifth Street <br />St. Paul, MN 55101 -1626 <br />651 - 602 -1361 <br />FAX 651 - 602 -1674 <br />jim.uttley @metc.state.mn.us <br />»> Sandra Pinel 06/29/01 04:16PM »> <br />Jim. I have forwarded your question to Jim Uttley, our expert and the one on duty, as I am out next week. <br />His number is 651 6021361. Hopefully, he can answer you. My understanding is yes, the amendment <br />has to come in. If it is consistent with the proposed plan and has not system impact the review would <br />likely be quick, on the Council's consent agenda. Regarding zoning change that would be inconsistent <br />with the plan, I believe the city could be legally liable to citizens or adj. property owners, but I will let Jim <br />handle that. <br />»> "Patrick trudgeon" < ptrudgeon @ci.ramsey.mn.us> 06/29/01 01:49PM »> <br />Sandra, <br />I have been asked to forward a couple of questions regarding comprehensive plan amendments to you. <br />First a little background. Royal Oaks Realty is trying to develop an 86 acre parcel with 73 single family <br />homes, 152 townhomes, and an 82 -unit senior apartment building. The current zoning of the land is B1 <br />Business and R1 Single Family Residential. The 1995 Comprehensive Plan (the one in effect) calls for <br />the land to be business and residential. <br />In order for the land to be developed, the parcel would need a rezoning (to P.U.D. in this case) and <br />comprehensive plan amendment among other approvals. Our questions are as follows: <br />1) Is a comprehensive plan amendment necessary when we change the zoning that is a different type of <br />land use than shown in the comp plan? <br />2) What happens if we don't amend the comp plan and the City rezones the property anyway? <br />3) Can you describe in writing what the procedure is for minor comprhensive plan amendments (Is a super <br />majority needed for City approval of the amendment ?) <br />Thanks in advance for answering these questions. The answers will help us give accurate information to <br />our council. <br />Pat <br />Patrick Trudgeon <br />Principal Planner <br />City of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd. <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br />(763) 427 -1410 (office) <br />(763) 427 -5543 (fax) <br />ptrudgeon @ci.ramsey.mn.us <br />Page 2 <br />
