Staff has a strong desire to continue working with the applicant to facilitate the master plan, assemble the <br />required properties, and demolish the required structures. Staff believes this can be accomplished within <br />a timeframe that allows the applicant to maintain their desired construction start date of October 1, 2017, <br />as well as provide for the orderly development of the area, benefiting the community as a whole. <br />Staff has included three action items for the current zone change request, which are described below. <br />1) Deny the current zone change application. This option will provide the city with additional time <br />to facilitate development of the master plan. Implementation of the master plan, which includes <br />shifting the project to the north, still requires rezoning and a land use application could be <br />submitted in July. <br />2) Approve the current zone change application. The current application isolates residential uses <br />between industrial operations, does not create a plan for efficient development of the remaining <br />parcels within the block, extends the timeline for implementation of the quiet zone (potentially <br />costing additional taxpayer dollars), and does not allow for the county preferred location of a <br />replacement for 6`h Street as part of future improvements to Proctor Avenue NW. <br />3) The applicant may extend, in writing, their application to allow further work to be completed on <br />the implementation of the master plan. <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br />Statutory Review Period <br />Per State Statute 15.99 the required 60 -day review period ends on April 28, 2017. The application has <br />been extended to June 27, 2017. <br />Attachments <br />■ Resolution of denial for Item 7.1(A -C) <br />■ Location map <br />■ Applicants narrative <br />■ Ordinance amendment <br />N:\Public Bodies\Agenda Packets\06-19-2017\Final\7.2a sr.docx <br />
