Memo to Mayor and City Council/ZC00-2/LU00-2 <br />March 20, 2000 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />The applicant is requesting to change the land use designation of the subject <br />property from CC (Community Commercial) and LI (Light Industrial) to HB <br />(Highway Business) and the zoning from BP (Business Park) to C3 (Highway <br />Commercial). The area under consideration is about 19.5 acres. The property <br />is located on the south side of Highway 10, west of the Sherburne County <br />Government Center. <br /> <br />The property owners have petitioned the City to extend Business Center <br />Drive and municipal utilities across their property. Other improvements in <br />the area include realigning Waco Street and signalizing the Waco <br />Street/Highway 10 intersection. Realigning Waco Street to the east will <br />create Parcel 1. The extension of Business Center Drive to Waco Street will <br />create Parcel 2 (refer to attached survey). <br /> <br />The subject property is currently part of 125 acres owned by the applicant. <br />The subject property will be split into three parcels because of the road <br />alignments. Parcel I is 3.17 acres and is located at the southwest corner of <br />Waco Street and Highway 10. Parcel 2 is 12.98 acres and is located east of <br />Waco Street between Business Center Drive and Highway 10. Parcel 3 is 3.54 <br />acres and is located south of Business Center Drive abutting the west side of <br />the Sherburne County Government Center. <br /> <br />The property to the south of Business Center Drive, with the exception of <br />Parcel 3, will remain zoned Business Park. The property to the east, which <br />contains the Sherburne County Government Center, is zoned Business Park. <br />The property on the north side of Highway 10 is zoned residential, and the <br />property to the west of Waco Street is also zoned residential. <br /> <br />The applicant is not requesting plat approval at this time. With the exception <br />of the south line of Parcel 3, the property lines shown on the survey represent <br />existing property lines and the center lines of the proposed roads. The <br />applicant will be before the Council at a future date for preliminary plat <br />approval. <br /> <br />Consistency with Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br />The Comprehensive Plan identified the intersection of Waco Street and <br />Highway 10 as a future commercial node because of accessibility and <br />visibility. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the subject property as CC <br />(Community Commercial). <br /> <br />Community commercial land uses, as discussed in the Comprehensive Plan, <br />are intended to serve the surrounding neighborhood and should be located at <br />the intersection of collector streets. Highway commercial land uses are <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING\SCOTT\ZC002CC.DOC <br /> <br /> <br />
