CITY OF LAKE ELMO WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA ORDINANCE NO. 08-039 AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A ZONING MAP AMENDMENT FOR TWO PROPERTIES OFF OF 27TH AND 28' STREET FROM RURAL RESIDENTIAL TO R-1; PID: 21-029-21-14- 0003 AND 21-029-21-14-0002 Section 1. Amendment: Section 154.032 of the "Zoning District Map" of the Lake Elmo Municipal Code is amended to rezone property from RR to R-1, based on conformity with the Comprehensive Plan, owned by Lake Elmo Bank, legally described as identified in Attachment A. PIDs: 21-029-21-14-0003;21-029-21-14-0002 Section 2. Findings 1) That the procedures for obtaining said Zoning Map Amendment are found in the Lake Elmo Zoning Ordinance, Section 154.020. 2) That all the submission requirements of said 154.020 have been met by the Applicant. 3) That the proposed zoning map amendment is to allow the rezoning of two currently vacant properties from Rural Residential to R-1, thereby reducing the minimum lot size from ten acres to one and a half acres with the intention to work towards making two buildable lots for single family residential structures. 4) That the Zoning Map Amendment will be located on property with the PIDs: 21-029-21- 14-0003 and 21-029-21-14-0002, formerly known as 2742 Ivy Ave. The full legal description is attached as Attachment A. 5) The proposed rezoning is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Future Land Use Plan in the approved Comprehensive Plan guides this property as "NC" — Neighborhood Conservation. The R-1 zoning district, which is what the applicant's are requesting, corresponds to the NC land use designation and is therefore in conformance. 6) The R-1 zoning district would not change the essential character of the neighborhood. Single family residential neighborhoods exist to the west and northeast of the applicant's two properties. The two properties requested for rezoning are, in general, slightly larger than the then existing built lots. The proposed rezoning may allow a single family residential home to be built on each of the two properties which would be in conformance with the current use of the both adjacent neighborhoods.
