Because the proposed map amendments are intended to address developments or projects that
have already been approved by the City, Staff recommended approval of all changes as presented.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed map amendments at its March 23, 2015 meeting. No one spoke at the hearing and the Planning Commission
unanimously recommended approval of the amended Zoning Map as presented (7 ayes and 0
nays). BACKGROUND INFORMATION (SWOT):
Strengths • The proposed Zoning Map amendments brings the map up to date with the approval of recent development projects.
• The amendment fixes a map error that has a commercial
property in the Village Area zoned rural single family.
Weaknesses • None
Opportunities • Staff is recommending adopting several amendments together rather than taking additional time to review each change
separately.
Threats • None
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission and Staff are recommending that the City
Council approve an updated Zoning Map to adopt the appropriate zoning for recently approved
subdivision and development projects and to make other map corrections to bring the map into conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. If this item is pulled from the consent agenda, the suggested motion to adopt the Planning Commission recommendation is as follows:
“Move to adopt Ordinance 08-117 adopting a revised zoning map for the City of
Lake Elmo” ATTACHMENTS:
