HomeMy WebLinkAbout#13 - Parks Rezoning STAFF REPORT
DATE: November 7, 2017
CONSENT
ITEM #: 13
MOTION
TO: City Council
FROM: Emily Becker, Planning Director
AGENDA ITEM: Zoning Map Amendment – Rezoning City Parks
REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
BACKGROUND: A number of developments have dedicated City parkland, though these parcels have not yet been properly
rezoned to Public and Quasi-Public Open Space. Rezoning these parcels will more clearly indicate on the
Zoning Map that these parcels are to be used for public and quasi-public open space. Other parks in the
City are zoned Public and Quasi-Public Open Space. This is a “housekeeping” item.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: The Council is being asked to consider a request by the City of Lake Elmo for a Zoning Map Amendment
to rezone parcels that have been dedicated as City parkland.
REVIEW/ANALYSIS: Parcels Proposed to be Rezoned. The following PID#s are proposed to be rezoned:
PID# Development/Description 33.029.21.11.0005 Inwood
13.029.21.41.0055 Easton Village
13.029.21.31.0018 Parcel north of Reid Park 13.029.21.42.0026 Parcel east of Reid Park
13.029.21.43.0013 Parcel east of Reid Park
01.029.21.13.0004 Sanctuary
34.029.21.31.0085 Savona
34.029.21.42.0096 Savona
12.029.21.33.0052 Village Preserve/Wildflower Park

Note: The outlot that will be dedicated for parkland for the Boulder Ponds development has not yet been platted and therefore was not included on this list.

Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan’s Land Use Plan does not
guide these specific area for Public/Park. The Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan, however,
show areas for Neighborhood Parks, and these parcels are located within these areas. Planning Commission Review. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Zoning Map Amendments at its August 28, 2017 meeting. One person spoke at the public hearing asking for
clarification if the rezoning would affect maintenance of City parks, and it was clarified that this
will have nothing to do with maintenance; the rezoning is a housekeeping item to align zoning of these new parks with the zoning of already-established parks within the City. Staff received a number of similar questions prior to the public hearing. The Planning Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the proposed rezoning.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
OPTIONS: The Council may:
1) Adopt Ord. 08-190 as presented.
2) Amend Ord. 08-190 and adopt Ord. 08-190 as amended.
3) Do not adopt Ord. 08-190.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff and the Planning Commission recommend the Council adopt Ord. 08- as presented,
approving a Zoning Map Amendment that rezones PID#s 13.029.21.23.0029, 12.029.21.33.0052,
12.029.21.34.0053, 34.029.21.31.0085, 34.029.21.42.0096, 01.029.21.13.0004,
13.029.21.41.0055, 33.029.21.11.0005 to PF – Public and Quasi-Public Open Space.
