City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for August 8, 2018 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2018\PC 18-018 - Trinity Lutheran Church Rezoning - 3243 New Brighton <br />Road\Memos_Reports_18-018 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />The Trinity Lutheran property is bordered on the north and the west by Hazelnut Park. The City <br />and the church currently have a joint use agreement that allows the City and the public to use the <br />church parking lot in conjunction with their use of Hazelnut Park. The proposed rezoning would <br />not impact the joint use agreement. The properties to the east and south are predominantly <br />single-family detached residential and are zoned R-2 District. While the residential properties in <br />the surrounding area are zoned R-2, many of the properties, and in particular those on the eastern <br />side of New Brighton Road, have lot areas more consistent with the minimum requirements for <br />the R-1 District. <br />2.
