Church Chairman Senkler requested that the Administrator review this application with the Planning Commission. Mr. Huber stated that on behalf of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church of Hugo, Minnesota, the Washington County Housing and Redevelopment Authority has made application to the City for the Rezoning of a 2.4 acre tract of land from Concentrated business to Retail Business. The property in question is located south of the church parking lot between trunk Highway 61 and Egg Lake. The rezoning involves only Parcel B as identified on the enclosed certificate of survey. The certificate of survey in question will be subject to planning commission and city council review if the property is rezoned as requested. The area north of the site in question is zoned concentrated business, the area west of the site is zoned industrial, and the area south of the site is zoned RB and SFU. The purpose of the rezoning request is to accommodate the construction of a multiple family residential housing project on the site. Multiple family residences are permitted in RB zones by special use permit. This rezoning request is the first in a series of three steps necessary to accommodate the project being proposed by the housing authority. Pending rezoning approval, the subdivision of the property would be required, and then a special use permit application must be submitted for consideration. Mr. Brad Wirt of the Washington County Housing and Redevelopment Authority stated that within one month they would take possession of the property in question from the St. Paul Archdiocese. The HRA expects to get approval from the Rice Creek Watershed District in March. Mr. Wirt informed the commission that the proposed housing units (provided the rezoning and SUP is approved) would be handicapped accessible, with one unit being totally handicap equipped. He stated that the HRA is tax exempt but in situations as this, they pay approximately 5% of the net property rental fee in lieu of taxes. Chairman Senkler requested comments from the public. Several residents were present and stated that they support the project wholeheartedly. Motion made by Oswald, seconded by Henry to recommend approval of the request of the Washington County HRA and St. John the Baptist Catholic Church of Hugo/St. Paul Archdiocese to rezone 2.4 acres from Concentrated Business to Retail Business. Legal description as provided on the survey dated 5-10-90 in the office of the City Clerk. All aye, motion carried.
