The current zoning on the adjacent <br />property is B -3, and the development of the area is primarily small office. Farther to the <br />east, a mini - storage facility is zoned B -W. <br />The B -3 zoning would be consistent with the existing and surround uses in the area. To <br />the south of County Road B, a commercial shopping center is located in Maplewood. <br />Rezoning requests are required to be reviewed based on consistency with the goals <br />and intent of the Comprehensive Plan, as well as compatibility with the surrounding land <br />uses, both present and future. The City's land use plan directs commercial uses for this <br />area, and as noted above, the surrounding uses are all commercial in nature. <br />Planning staff recommends approval of the rezoning, based on a finding that the B -3 <br />District meets the required tests for amendments to the zoning map as discussed in this <br />report. <br />pc: Kathy Glanzer <br />Steve Westerhaus <br />Lee Elfering <br />Greg Schroeder <br />Lee and Lee Enterprises, 5 East County Road B, Little Canada, MN 55117 <br />
