The City of Arden Hills requests approval of an amendment to the Zoning <br /> Ordinance (Exhibit C).

The Gateway Business District requires that single use parcels have at <br /> . least ten acres to be considered developable (Section V, K., 5, a, (3), of the Zoning <br /> Ordinance), There exists several parcels (Indykiewicz 6,7 acres, Nott 4 acres, Grainger <br /> 5 acres, Scholls 7,7 acres, Round Lake Business Center 5,87 acres, ATS 8.5 acres) <br /> which existed prior to the development of this district that have less than the required ten <br /> acres. The proposed code change would allow parcels, either below the minimum lot <br /> size standard at the time of adoption of Ordinance #291, or as a result of a governmental <br /> taking or purchase, to be considered as developable. The code change would not allow a <br /> parcel to be subdivided below the minimum size requirement and to be considered <br /> developable, <br /> Recommendation.
