IINA Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. <br />C U R B A N P L A N N I N G • D E S I G N • M A R K E T R E S E A R C H <br />PLANNING REPORT <br />TO: Little Canada Planning Commission <br />FROM: Stephen Grittman <br />DATE: 4 September 1992 <br />RE: Little Canada - Presbyterian Homes Rezoning /CUP <br />FILE NO: 758.09 - 92.11 <br />BACKGROUND <br />In 1991, the City requested proposals from developers for a senior <br />housing complex in the Marketplace Shopping Center area. After <br />several proposal interviews and substantial study, the committee <br />selected the Presbyterian Homes project as the preferred proposal. <br />Presbyterian Homes has secured control of the site and is now <br />requesting the appropriate rezoning from B -3, General Business to <br />R -B, Residential Business. Consequently, a conditional use permit <br />for senior housing in the R -B zone is to be considered. <br />ANALYSIS <br />This report will review the land use and rezoning aspects of the <br />proposal. As of this date, staff has not received plans in order <br />to properly review the conditional use permit. <br />The site in question is a 3.6 acre property which fronts on <br />Marketplace Drive between the Garden Terrace Apartments and the two <br />strip commercial centers on Little Canada Road. To the east is the <br />Soo Line Railroad and a single family residential neighborhood. <br />The Marketplace Shopping Center, Saxon Bowl, and several other <br />commercial services are available in immediate proximity to the <br />property. <br />Page 13 <br />5775 Wayzata Blvd. • Suite 555 St. Louis Park, MN 55416 (612) 595- 9636•Fax. 595 -9837 <br />
