COUNCIL MEETING REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION aPR ^ ^ Date; crTY^ Item No.: I NP97 Department Approval:Administrator Approval: Name: Michael P. GafTron Title: Asst. Planning& Zoning Administrator Agenda Section: Zoning Item Description: #2224 City of Orono, 2080-2160-2190 Wayzata Blvd. - Rezoning - Ordinance Adoption Application: City-initiated ’housekeeping ’ rezoning of 55’ strip within/near Sugar Woods plat from RR-IB Single Family Rural Residential District to B-1 Retail Sales Business District or R-1A Single Family Residential District. Properties Involved: - Outlots A, D, E, F of Sugar Woods - Bin Wear property containing the ’Orono Shopping Center’ List of Exhibits: A - Rezoning Ordinance B - Draft Planning Commission Minutes 3-17-97 C - Memo & Exhibits of 3-10-97 Background Prior to the platting of Sugar Woods in 1988, the 2-acre RR-IB District extended northward from an east -west line located 1170’ south of the north line of Section 34. The property on the south side of the 1170’ line was zoned B-1 (Exhibits D & E of 3-10-97 memo). When Sugar Woods was platted, the residential part of Sugar Woods in the RR-IB zone, was rezoned to R-1 A, 1-acre residential. The south boundary of the Sugar Woods residential area was about 1115' south of the north line of Section 34. Consequently, the rezoning to R-1 A only extended down to the 1115’ line. This inadvertently left a 55’ strip still zoned RR-IB, between the R-1 A and the B-1. The City’s intent since this was discovered some years ago, has been to rezone this strip to B-1, matching the zoning district boundaries to the current property boundaries. The current Sugar Woods Outlot E re plat proposal is the motivation for doing this rezoning now. Impact of Rezoning The proposed rezoning will result in the following benefits: - Zoning boundaries will follow lot lines rather than bisecting individual properties
