ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 6, 2012 7 <br /> <br /> <br />City Planner Meagan Beekman stated notice was published in the Shoreview-Arden Hills <br />Bulletin, and mailed to all property owners within the B-2 District. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holewa asked if this passed would it be in conflict with the <br />comprehensive plan. City Planner Beekman stated they are hoping this would not be a <br />permanent change to the zoning code. She does not believe it would be a conflict. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holewa asked if there is a completion date for Phase I and Ms. Beekman <br />stated October. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holewa stated he does not support this change because multi-family is <br />included in the B-2 district, the Phase I is not complete and he feels it is being directed at <br />one property. <br /> <br />Commissioner Thompson stated there are other issues driving what they are trying to <br />accomplish. The zoning code amendment would not address the issues that we are trying <br />to fix. The City needs to look at this again and work with property owners. She would <br />not be in favor of the zoning code amendment. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holewa stated the development proposal presented last month was very <br />incomplete. <br /> <br />Chair Larson stated if we want people in the B-2 district, allowing multi-family housing <br />would be the way to do it. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holewa moved and Commissioner Zimmerman seconded a motion <br />for denial of Planning Case 12-011 The motion carried unanimously (6-0). <br /> <br />UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />None <br /> <br />REPORTS <br /> <br />A.
