�r �1 <br /> \J4/4 ITEM 6. 13 . <br /> it of MEMORANDUM 4:) <br /> Y <br /> River TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL <br /> FROM: STEVEN B. ACH, CITY PLANNER^A7',..-- <br /> DATE: APRIL 18, 1994 <br /> SUBJECT: REQUEST TO INITIATE A COMPRE- <br /> HENSIVE LAND USE PLAN AMEND. <br /> /a, )10. <br /> ISSUE <br /> Consider a request for the City to initiate a Comprehensive Land Use Plan <br /> Amendment. <br /> LOCATION <br /> North of Meadowvale Road, just east of McChesney Industrial Park. <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> • Location Map, Zoning Map, Land Use Plan Map <br /> OVERVIEW <br /> Last week's staff was presented with an issue by a resident who has a single <br /> family home that is currently zoned I-1 (Light Industrial). Under the present <br /> zoning, the home would be classified as a legal non-conforming use. Under <br /> this circumstance, it makes selling the home rather difficult because <br /> prospective buyers do not appreciate conditions relative to a non-conforming <br /> structure. Furthermore, a lending institution may have reservations <br /> granting a loan for similar reasons. <br /> The resident is requesting a rezoning of the property to R3 (Townhouse/ <br /> Multi Family Residential). This rezoning would allow the single family <br /> house as a permitted use and be consistent with the R3 zoning immediately <br /> to the east. <br /> In addition to the rezoning, a comprehensive land use plan amendment is <br /> needed due to the uncertainty of the actual land use designation (see <br /> attached land use plan map) and coincide with the zoning boundary. In order <br /> • to assist in processing the resident's request and be able to make the April <br /> 26, 1994, Planning Commission meeting, staff has begun the process to <br /> P.O. Box 490 • 13065 Orono Parkway • Elk River, MN 55330 • (612) 441-7420 • Fax: (612) 441-7425 <br />
