Fairgrounds Rezoning <br />March 28, 1995 <br />• ANALYSIS <br />Page 3 <br />Currently, the property has a land use designation of HR and MR and a <br />zoning of R3. This would allow an individual to develop this property with a <br />high density multi-family proposal and would only be required to meet the <br />standards set forth in the R3 requirements. <br />It is no longer the intent of the City to have this property developed as <br />outlined in the R3 zoning requirements. Sherburne County has not <br />expressed interest to sell the property or to develop the property in the near <br />future, but that does not prohibit development of this particular parcel. <br />In order for a rezoning of a parcel of property to be approved, two items must <br />be discovered: <br />1) There has been an error in the determination of the current zoning <br />designation. <br />2) The times and conditions have changed to warrant a new zoning <br />designation. <br />The reason to bring this rezoning and land use amendment application <br />forward at this time is threefold: <br />- To implement the business park concept discussed in the 1990 Focus <br />Area Study and adopted by the City Council. <br />- Amend the land use map to be consistent with the property <br />boundaries. <br />- Establish appropriate zoning designations within the western area in <br />anticipation of the imminent development activity as a result of the <br />current plans to extend City water and sewer into the phase of the <br />western area. <br />- It has been determined that the City has a high percentage of multiple <br />family residential units and by rezoning this property a more balanced <br />land use mix will be achieved. <br />STAFF COMMENTS <br />Staff is of the opinion that times and conditions have changed to warrant a <br />• new zoning designation for the fairgrounds property. <br />s:/planning/troy/cc-fair <br />
