. . . Resolution 657-01 Page 2 substantial revision, which will result in a new Comprehensive Plan being adopted by the City Council. The proposal would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan if the Plan were revised to designate this property Community Commercial. 2. The Property is Jocated at the corner of County Highway 10, Eastwood Road and County Road I, a busy intersection with restricted vehicle movements to and from Eastwood Road. High-density residential borders the Property to the northwest, single-family dwellings to the north and commercial to the west and south. A rezoning to Limited Business would not be inappropriate given the higher volunles of traffic and the existing uses_ ., -'- The proposed rezoning wouJd have little impact on the neighborhood, as the area is dominated by higher density residential and higher density commercial uses in an area that experiences higher volumes of vehicular traffic. The primary access to the property would be from Highway 10_ Thus, a depreciation of the neighborhood would not be expected. 4. The Mounds View Anima] Hospital has been serving this community for the Jast 13 years. In order to meet the growing needs of their clients, they need to expand into their own freestanding building. This rezoning would allow the animal hospital to relocate and expand, thus satisfying the needs of the business as well as the greater community. 5_ The proposed sale of the land would not be inconsistent with the Comprehensive PJan in that the property was purchased with the sole intent of redevelopment. There are no identified public purposes for this property in the Comprehensive Plan which wouJd warrant its retention. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, based upon the above findings of fact, the information and documents regarding the rezoning proposal, the report drafted by staff and the testimony of the applicant, and in consideration of the public testimony given at the public hearing, the Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City Council: (a) approval of the rezoning request as shown on the attached Exhibit A, (b) approval of the sale of the Property to the Mounds View Animal Hospital, and (c) revision of the proposed Future Land Use Map to reflect a Community Commercial land use designation. BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Planning Commission directs staff to forward this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes. " Adopted this 6th day of June, 200 I. a~.
