1 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE AGENDA ITEM 3B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director EDAC MEETING DATE: October 7, 2021 TOPIC: Clearwater Creek Business Park – Rehbein Properties Comp Plan Amendment and Interim Land Use BACKGROUND Rehbein Properties is actively working on development of property they own in Centerville and Lino Lakes. As part of the development planning, they have asked for the City’s receptiveness to considering the following: 1) Allowing the relocation of their black dirt stock pile operation from its current location across 21st Avenue to a site in Lino Lakes. 2) Amending the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use from Commercial to Industrial on a 15 acre parcel they own immediately north of Clearwater Creek, between 21st Avenue and I-35E. Stock Pile Stockpiling of material is allowed under a Conditional Use Permitted (CUP) within any zoning district in the City. The owner would be relocating the existing operation temporarily until the site is developed. With the operation in place, they intend to complete wetland and flood plain mitigation along with soil correction on the 15 acre parcel immediately south of the proposed stock pile. They are intending for this location to be in operation for 2-3 years. Land Use Change The industrial market is extremely strong at this point in time and the Rehbeins have had several inquiries regarding potential industrial use of the 15 acre parcel located on 21st Avenue, south of Commerce Drive. A land use change in this location would still provide for approximately 20 acres of commercial land to the north. No formal request has been submitted regarding either of these items. The owner is looking for feedback on the two proposals before moving forward. Should an application be submitted, a more formal review would be completed. The EDAC should consider pros and cons to the concepts and identify potential requirements or concerns that should be addressed with any submittal. Staff will provide additional information at the meeting.
