RESOLUTION 2004-22 APPROVING FINDINGS OF FACT FOR REZONING FOR POAC-CRAIN, LLC. FOR "VICTOR GARDENS 4TH ADDITION" ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF EVERTON AVENUE NORTH AND FRENCHMAN ROAD (COUNTY ROAD 8) WHEREAS, POAC-Crain, LLC has requested reclassification of the zoning from C-2 (General Business) to PUD (Planned Unit Development) for a 23.64 -acre property, legally described as follows: That part of the Southeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 19, Township 31 North, Range 21 West, Washington County, Minnesota, lying Southerly of the center line of Frenchman road North (a/k/a County State Aid Highway No. 8). WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request at a duly called Public Hearing and recommends approval, and; WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted an ordinance rezoning the affected parcel from C-2 to PUD; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUGO, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does support the request by POAC-Crain, LLC for the reclassification of the zoning from C-2 to PUD for the 23.64 -acre property, based on the following findings: 1. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, if amended, and other City policies and plans. 2. The development would allow townhomes at a net density of 9.7 units per acre, which is consistent with the original PUD plan and Zoning Ordinance requirements. 3. The PUD will allow a more creative and efficient approach to land use within the City, while at the same time protecting and promoting the health, safety, comfort, aesthetics, economic viability and general welfare of the City. 4. The PUD would provide appropriate transitions between differing land uses within the site and adjacent land uses. The proposed development would simply be an expansion of the existing Victor Gardens development to the west.
