(PIDs 1302921320051 and 1302921320052). The Village Mixed Use Zoning District requires a conditional use permit for all new residential uses. The existing vacant lots are located along Upper 33rd Street N to the west of Lake Elmo Avenue N in the Old Village. The applicant has also submitted a lot consolidation application to combine lots 10 and 11. Administrative approval of a consolidation is required since the properties are existing platted lots. History Lot 11 was originally platted as lots 11, 12, and half of 13 in the early 1900s. Since the original platting, lots 11, 12, and half of 13 were consolidated into one lot, now known as lot 11. Lot 10 has remained untouched.
