Comprehensive Plan Amendment Discussion

The property was listed as Institutional in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan since at the time, city hall was located there.  The 2030 Comp Plan contemplated that the site would be redeveloped and should have reflected the land use on the adjacent prosperities.

Minnesota Statutes state that if the comprehensive municipal plan is in conflict with the zoning ordinance, the zoning ordinance shall be brought into conformance with the plan by local government units in conjunction with the review and, if necessary, amendment of its comprehensive plan to bring ot into compliance with the zoning.

The property is properly zoned as B3 but is not properly guided given that the institutional use, city hall, is no longer located at the site.  The guiding should be changed to reflect the guiding of the surrounding area which is used for commercial purposes.  The surrounding property is guided as Mixed Use land use.

Planning Commission

The Planning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend to the City Council that the property be re-guided to Mixed Use land use.
