Properties of Forest Lake, MN., Mr. Richard Tschida has made application to the City of Hugo to rezone a 8.9 acre tract of land from RB to Industrial. The site in question is located north of 170th Street and east of Highway 61. Several years ago, the property owners of the site petitioned the City to rezone the property from agriculture to RB. The staff recommended that the Commission review the list of permitted and special uses allowed in industrial zones, as identified in the City's zoning ordinance, as well as the comprehensive plan addressing industrial uses (page 36) and economic development (page 12). Mr. Tschida was present at the meeting, stating that he didn't need a rezoning to accommodate his use for the property, but felt it would be the best use of the property, and that he would ultimately subdivide the property. The meeting was opened for public comment, and two adjoining residents expressed their objection to the industrial zone because of the lack of knowledge as to what types of business could occupy the lots. Mezzano made motion, Davis seconded, to recommend denial of the application of D.T. Properties to rezone an 8.9 acre tract of land from RB to Industrial because rezoning would not be consistent with the City's comprehensive plan. All aye. Motion Carried. SPECIAL_USE PERMIT Q.
