Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sir necessary.) SUMMARY; Larry Beach has made application for a Rezoning of a portion of the property located at 2801/2809 Bronson Drive (please see attached map) . Specifically, the applicant is requesting that the northernmost 225 feet of Lots 10 and 11 of Spring Lake Park Knolls Addition be rezoned from its current designation of R-1, Single Family Residential, to R-2, Single and Two Family Residential. The request, if approved, would allow the development of the property as owner-occupied twinhomes. The remaining portions of the two lots would stay R-1. Chapter 1125.01 Subdivision 1 (e) of the Mounds View Municipal Code identifies those factors upon which the City Council should base its decision relative to any rezoning request. Those factors, and an analysis of their relevance, are as follows: 1) Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan in its current form identifies these parcels as low density residential. The R-2 zoning classification falls within the parameters of low density and would therefore be consistent with the direction of the Plan. 2) Geographical area involved The parcels are bounded on the South and East sides by Bronson Drive and Silver Lake Road. To the North is additional R-2 property and, to the West is Single Family. 3) Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed The applicant has constructed similar twinhomes immediately north of the proposed rezoning location. The values of those properties (in excess of $160,000 per unit) leads to a positive impact on the area. In addition, the relatively high cost of the units discourages the opportunity for the r erties to become rentals. RECOMMENDATION Pa 4larrington, . Interim City Administrator Waive the reading and formally introduce Ordinance No. 569 rezoning a portion of lots 10 and 11, Spring Lake Park Knolls Addition.
