AMENS for the purpose of a Public Hearing on the Zoning & PUD, NORHNESTEM Ordinance Amendment and Planned Unit Development Concept COLLEGE, 3003 NORTH Plan application, Case #91-04, Northwestern College, SNEU,ING AVENUE, 3003 North Snelling Avenue. Winiecki requested the Deputy ROSEVILLE/ARDEN HILLS Clerk verify the publication and mailing of the Notice of Hearing on this matter. Deputy Clerk Iago verified publication of the Notice of Hearing in the New Briahton.Bulletin on Wednesday, May 22, 1991 and mailing to affected property owners the same date. Planner Bergly stated there are two parts of the application for commission consideration. He reviewed the April Planning discussion relating to the Zoning Ordinance AmeixIment, which would allow Colleges and Universities to be redefined in the ordinance and identify them as uses permitted by Planned Unit DevelopTent, in the R-1 and R-2 Zoning Districts. He noted the current definition permits such schools in B-1 district. Bergly explained the proposal divides the definition into two parts; "schools, Special Education" and "Schools, Higher Education". He advised the Land -Use Chart would add Planned unit Developments under the category for "Schools, Higher Education, in the R-1 and R-2 Districts. The Planner reviewed the findings listed in his report dated 4-3-91, as listed below: 1. The court directed the City to treat both College im the Arden Hills in the same manner; what is allowed in one must be allowed in the other College. 2. Staff determined that rezoning Northwestern College to a B-1, as the City did for Bethel -College, would not be in the long-term best interest of the City. If the College vacates the site, a substantial area remains zoned for offices, medical clinics, electronic towers, and other uses allowed in a B-1 District. 3. The present definition of Special Education Schools allows "Commercial, private trade schools", which would not be acceptable in residential districts. Dividing the definition allows placement of Colleges in residential districts and the trade schools more appropriately in the business districts. 4. The PUD allows the City to impose more special requL-Pments and the SUP process and offers more protection to neighboring residential property.
