WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed said request at a duly called Public Hearing and recommends denial; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUGO, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does deny the rezoning from Multi -Family and Urban Residential to General Industrial, based on the following findings: 1. Rezoning the subject property to General Industrial would make it difficult to adequately buffer the adjacent residential homes. 2. The City's General Industrial district allows a variety of high intensity uses that could have adverse impacts on nearby residential properties. 3. Rezoning the subject property to General Industrial may result in greater tree removal than if the property were developed with residential uses, because industrial developments generally require larger building pads and large parking lot areas. 4. The physical characteristics of the property, including the location of wetland, floodplain, and steep slopes, are not conducive to large industrial buildings.
