1 <br />• <br />CITY OF LINO LAKES <br />RESOLUTION NO. 15-21 <br />RESOLUTION DENYING REZONING OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6966 AND 6970 <br />LAKE DRIVE FROM R-1, SINGLE FAMILY TO R, RURAL <br />WHEREAS, the City received a Land Use Application requesting rezoning of property located <br />at 6966 Lake Drive (PID# 19-31-22-41-0006) and 6970 Lake Drive (PID# 19-31-22-41-0005) <br />for the purpose of keeping farm animals; and <br />WHEREAS, both parcels are currently zoned R-1, Single Family Residential and the R-1, <br />Single Family Residential zoning district does not allow for the keeping of farm animals; and <br />WHEREAS, the applicant is requesting both parcels be rezoned to R, Rural, which does allow <br />for the keeping of farm animals; and <br />WHEREAS, the Planning & Zoning Board held a public hearing on February 11, 2015, and <br />recommended that the Application be denied. <br />NOW THEREFORE, in light of the factors set forth in City Zoning Ordinance Section 2, <br />subdivision 1(E), the Council makes the following: <br />FINDINGS <br />. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and <br />provisions of, and has been found to be consistent with, the official City Comprehensive <br />Plan. <br />Per the City's Comprehensive Plan, the parcels are guided Low Density Sewered Residential <br />and are within the 1A: 2008-2015 utility staging area. The watermain and sanitary sewer <br />systems in this staging area have capacity to accommodate development along this stretch of <br />Lake Drive. <br />Rezoning to R, Rural would not be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan for low density <br />sewered development. <br />2. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area. <br />Present and future land uses in the area are a mix of low density sewered residential, <br />medium density and commercial development. <br />Rezoning these two parcels to R, Rural to allow for farm animals would not be compatible <br />with present and future land uses of the area and would be considered spot zoning. Spot <br />zoning is poor planning practice and is not advised. <br />• 3. The proposed use conforms to all performance standards contained herein. <br />If re -zoned to R, Rural, the parcels would not meet performance standards for lot width and <br />lot area and would be considered substandard lots. Both parcels are approximately 200 feet <br />
