Mr. Drilling has submitted <br />the appropriate application and paid the required fee for rezoning. The City Clerk has <br />published a notice to rezone and sent letters to those property owners affected by this <br />proposed rezoning request as required by the Minnesota statutes. <br /> <br />Mr. Drilling will be in attendance to discuss the request and to answer any questions. <br /> <br />Although Staff feels that this rezoning would provide adequate buffering to the industrial <br />area on the east side of 20th Avenue for the residential area to the west of the subject <br />property, a similar request came before you in August, 2002 and consensus was to retain <br />the current B-1 zoning status. Also, I have had a call from the Metropolitan Council <br />reminding the City that as part of our agreement to support the state's Livable <br />Community Act, the City has agreed to construct 162 high density, affordable housing. <br />To date, the City has constructed 130 ofthese units and the Met. Council is interested in <br />the City's future compliance. <br />
