r Zoning File #2329 January 13, 1998 Page 2 'commercial district'. In 1966, all property east of Lakeside Marina, including the easterly approximately 60' of Lakeside, was rezoned residential. Shortly thereafter in 1967, the entire stretch was again rezoned commercial. With the 1975 City-wide rezoning, all property cast of Lakeside Manna including North Shore Marina, was rezoned to LR-lC-1, with the Gayle’s Marina and Lakeside Marina properties to the west remaining as B-2 commercial. In 1984, the Citv rezoned North Shore Marina back to B-2, leaving the residential properties between Lakeside mid North Shore marinas zoned LR-lC-1, which zoning is currently in effect. There has been much discussion through the years about what should happen with the residential properties betu'een the two marinas. City discussions that led to the 1984 rezoning of North Shore Marina from residential to commercial, included consideration whether the remaining residential properties between Lakeside and North Shore should be similarly rezoned commercial. The Planning Commission at that time recommended that future rezoning of the area be proved onlv when a foture applicant controls or owns a 2 acre parcel consistent with the minimum required acreage for a lot in the B-2 zone, and proposes a use consistent with the B-2 standards. City Council minutes subsequent to that recommendation indicate no fomial action was taken by the Council to adopt such a policy. However, Council discussions prior to the Planning Commission recommendation had indicated a concern that the City risks claims of spot zoning if merely North Shore Drive Marina is rezoned without a future intent to rezono the adjacent residential properties. The City never , .opted a formal policy for rezoning the properties between the marinas. They continue to be zoned LR-lC-1, a single family residential use district that would allow via a CUP & PRD, up to 3 units per acre density, with as many as 4 individual units attached per building. The only other properties the City has zoned in this manner are the twin homes in Navarre and the Brook ark/Sohns/Larson properties directly to the west of them; and a small tract just east of Carman Street near the Navarre business district. Shorcland Regulation Implications The Shoreland District standards adopted in 1992 place significant limitations on any PUD/PRD located in the shoreland, requiring the establishment of 'tiers' in order to determine acceptable development density in a PRD. An additional implication of the Shoreland Regulations is that anv dup ex parcel on the lakeshore must be no less than 135’ in defined width, which has an impact on applicant s site because it is only 123' in width at the shoreline and at the 75 ’ setback. Please review Exhibits F which define various subdivision schemes for developing the site and the vanous concerns or issues presented with each plan. These sketches were developed by staff at the time DNR was auctioning tlie site.
