The parcel in question currently contains three residential units, and across McMenemy from St. John's Church, zoned Public, and adjacent to the St. John's Credit Union, zoned B -3, General Business. The Credit Union also contains a residential use. To the east is the Waterworks property and a public park. Property to the north is zoned R -B, Residential- Business, and includes the former St. John's convent building (now a law office), and the former Little Canada School (now a rental hall, office building, and day care facility). Analysis The site consists of approximately 13,200 square feet of area, with a building of 2,600 square feet on each of two levels. The lower level is a "walkout" level which gains its access to the east, and currently houses a garage. It is this level which the applicant has proposed to add the two additional residential units. Under the R -3 Zoning, the parcel could handle up to six dwelling units, assuming the ability to comply with all zoning criteria. In order to evaluate a rezoning application, the Planning Commission must consider the following factors as list in the Zoning Ordinance: 5775 Wayzata Blvd. • Suite 555 • St. L Page 74 6 • (612) 595- 9636•Fax. 595 -9837
