... ee ? .. : , , ~ . -./ . March 4, 1970 , 'i CASE NUMBER: 564.71} ~ APPLJCA.~T: Mort J. Huber 5901 West Bald Eagle Boulevard, Paul, Mmnesota . r' : LOCATION: South of County Road B, West of Oalll Street ACTION REaUESTED: Rez~OIng from R.2 to R.3A al'ld 0.1 to B.3 .: .'1 . PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS: e . 1. A report pre;>ared the Febr..ary 4th meeting of the Planning Commission is attached wtJlch outlines the ImIC corl$idcraUons Involved In this proposal. At the last hearing, the application was tabled allowing tune for the developer to make adjunmcnts in his plans and .0 conSider ultimate ways of handhng the development pro~tl. Firstly, It should be neted that most of wtJat is prot)OSed is already allotted under the eXisting ordinance. A proposed apartment UOlt on the west~!Iy lot, now zoned R-2, IS allowed as a tranSitional use, but only to the extent of ~I umts. R~Ioning the property from R.2 to R.3A would allow the construction of the 42 unit building proposed. j \ ( 2. The neIghborhOOd sho));J.Og center projJOsed, IS uf course, allowed In the B.3 District, and parking contlguous to such a center 1$ allowed in the 0.1 zone which ap))lies to a portion of the property 10 t.ha unter (see sketch). Some concem was ex))ressed at ch3ngmg the :3-1 araa to ~ 9.3 IO:le, inasmuch as a wimr variety of business uses are allowed In t~ 3.3 lone. Should the Co:nmisslDn and Council desire to lnake a minimum of change in tho eXisting zor.;ng pattern and yet allow ~.. proposed develoj1lTlent as suggested, only a portion of the 3-1 land could be rezoned to 0-3 which IS to be occupied bf bl.llldlngs. The a.1 zone has 350 feet of fronuge 01\ County Road B of which aPilroximately the easterly 130 feet is required for a portion of the proposed shOPPing center buildings. Given the fact that much of tho land is already zoned to tha 3.3 District, a wide vallety of us.es are already permitted on the property. Our hOj)8 IS that the ap.lhcant is wllhng and able to develop tho sho,>ping center as ;)roilosed. Certainly IU developTltnt could be an excellent solution to a signIficant amount of general b.Jsmess zomng m an area where less well.planned gefler<ll bUSiness U$M could be a real jlroblem. It is one of the few plac.n 10 the Village where the general b'..siness lone ConSISU of considerable area, dating back to the days precedIng the zoning plan adopted In 1959. The immediate development as proilosed for the propolrty in question, we feel would be an asset to the neighborhood and the Village as a whole. ~ , . ~ , ." .' :1 "I I' .' " " "i t' 3. Should the VIllage de1lre the maximum control of sp<::clflC proposals only, a new section could be added t.> the Ordinance governmg tho "planned dcvelopmenu" of commercial properties, wherern development IS allomd as proposed only, much as In tho case of a "planned unit daveloilment" as a;>phed to multiple hVlng u"liu IJncMr the eXisting code Should the Commiulon and CounCil deslle to explore thiS approach, addltl;mal :nformat.on WIll be revIewed at ths healing as to how thiS can be accomplished.
