RESOLUTION 2018-19 APPROVING FINDINGS OF FACT FOR REZONING FOR TGK AUTOMOTIVE AND PREMIER BANK PROPERTIES LOCATED SOUTH OF 140TH STREET AND EAST OF FOREST BLVD (HIGHWAY 61) WHEREAS, TGK Automotive and Premier Bank, have requested reclassification of the zoning from Neighborhood Service (NS) to General Business (C-2). The property is legally described as follows: (See Attached) 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 parcels from NS to C-2; 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 TGK Automotive and Premier Bank, have requested reclassification of the zoning from Neighborhood Service (NS) to General Business (C-2), based on the following findings: 1. The NS and C-2 zoning districts have different permitted, accessory, and conditional uses. The C-2 district allows for more intense commercial uses that may include additional traffic, lighting, and noise. The construction limitations are the same, except the lot coverage requirements. The applicants have stated that they would like the property to be zoned C-2 because of the expanded uses, which allows for the motor vehicle repair business, compared to the NS zoning district. The property is close to an important intersection adjacent to Highway 61 and 140th Street (CSAH 8), with high traffic counts. Any use on the property would likely draw people from several areas of the City, other than the surrounding neighborhoods. The area is consistent with what would be desired for uses in the C-2 district to locate. Rezoning the property General Business (C-2) would be in compliance with the land use guide plan. 2. The proposed zoning classification is appropriate for the properties because there are no topographic, environmental, or cultural limitations of the site. 3. There is adequate infrastructure to support the proposed rezoning and development of the properties.
