CONSULTANTS <br />INC COMMUNITY PLANNING. - OESIG.N - MARKET RESEARCH. <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Little Canada Mayor and City Council. <br />FROM: Stephen Grittman <br />DATE: November 19, 1999 <br />RE: Little Canada - McCumber/Buetow Zoning Issue. <br />FILE NO`: 758.10 . <br />At the direction. of the City. Council, ,staff has been working on developing a zoning <br />approach which will 'address the issues raised by the inconsistency between the current <br />zoning district (1 -1, Light industrial) and the and use plan (low density residential) for the <br />Buetow and McCumber properties at County Road .D and Edgerton Street. • Staff has' met <br />with the Buetows and McCumbers, and prepared a draft zoningamendment intended to <br />address the inconsistency. The zoning amendinentutilized a PUD•Zoning designation, <br />with specific uses allowed within the district A modified 1-1 setback requirement was <br />proposed in the first draft- . <br />After meeting with the McCumbers and their representatiVe,.three primary aspects of'the <br />proposal were raised to which the property owners objected. The McCumbers specifically <br />objected to the PUD District (rather than a business ,or industrial designation), the fact that <br />industrial uses labeled 'Manufacturing; compounding, assembly, packaging, treatment, or <br />storage of products and materials "were listed as conditional uses 'rather than permitted <br />uses, and'the fact that the setback provision 'imposed setbacks adjacent to residential <br />property which were greater than the Industrial district standards. <br />The original. draft included these three provisions as a part of the.overall intent to•avoid <br />conflict between the zoning and the land use plan, and protection of the existing residential <br />neighborhood. The PUD approach was applied because it altawed the City to include a <br />statement that future land•use within this particular PUD•districtwould be encouraged to <br />convert to residential, even though the currently allowed uses were industrial in nature. <br />The uses which are more industrial in nature were established as Conditional uses rather <br />than permitted uses In an effort to manage the potential•impacts of industrial use•on these <br />' 5778 WAYZATA BOULEVARD, ,SUITE 555 ST..
