(5-0) CASE NO. 87-14; The Public Hearing was opened at 8:31 p.m. Deputy Clerk REZONING FROM 1-2 Iago verified the publication of the Notice of Hearing TO B-2, C.G.REIN in the New Bri~hton Bulletin, on Wednesday, April 22nd, LEXINGTON AVENUE and mailing on same date. Planner Miller reviewed his memorandum dated 4-29-87, and noted that a preliminary development plan for the site has been submitted, however, the Commission need only address the land use issue at this time. The Planner advised the C.G. Rein Company is proposing to construct a 15,900 sq. ft. shopping center on the 2.5-acre parcel north of St. Paul Metal craft. The Comprehensive Plan designates this areas as industrial and the site is currently zoned 1-2, a district which does not permit retail uses. Therefore, rezoning to B-2 General Business is being requested. Miller also noted for COlIDDission that the less desirable uses in the B-2 District are permitted by Special Use Permit, allowing the City to retain a measure of control on the site development. Bill Sikora, Architect for C.G. Rein, displayed a drawing which compared land . use in Shoreview and Arden Hills along the Lexington Avenue Corridor. He pointed out that Lexington Avenue, in this area, was taken on an increasingly commercial/service charater and the large office developments to the north of this site, along the Highway 694 corridor, can support further development of this nature. Sikora advised there would be a combination of use proposed, service and small retail uses. Member Babcook asked if a service station was proposed for the site. Sikora advised there is no service station proposed. Discussion items included: - The amount of occupied space at the Shannon Square development. - The possibility of the applicant obtaining a small amount of the property contiguous with Shannon Square, rather than this parcel. - The possibility of any future retail development along Red Fox Rd. Dennis Cavanaugh, President of C.G. Rein, advised members that he had discussed the possibility of obtaining a portion of the Gould land, adjacent to Shannon Square~ however, the owner was not interested in selling in the near future. Sikora advised that Shannon Square is 75% occupied at present. and that the remaining leases are under option. . --------------- -------------------
