The applicant is requesting a rezoning request from Shoreline Residential to Rural Residential for part of the property located at 4316 County Road 168. The applicant also has a metes and bounds request further on the agenda. The rezoning would be for one of the newly created lots should the metes and bounds application be approved. The applicant is proposing Tract B and Tract C with Tract B as the property being requested for the rezone. It would be created as a five acre Rural Residential lot while the remaining, Tract C, would be left as Shoreline Residential (it is located on Sibley Lake a General Development Lake). The properties are designated on the Future Land Use Map as Rural Residential and Shoreline Residential. The Planning Commission recommends the rezoning request be approved. The approval was made based on the following findings offact. Findings of Fact: i. The rezoning to Rural Residential is consistent with Future Land Use Map, which designates the property as Rural Residential. 2. Rezoning to Rural Residential is keeping with the purpose and intent of the Ordinance as it will be allowing a non- shoreland property to be zoned consistent with its current use and the Future Land Use Map. 3. The surrounding properties are zoned Shoreline Residential and Commercial. Rural Residential and Shoreline Residential are compatible with each other. The Commercial Zone may not be in an area that is completely surrounded by Residential however the zoning to the north and south of the Commercial property is still Commercial. 4. The Rural Residential Zone may be established next to the Commercial Zone or the Shoreline Residential Zone. 5. The rezoning to Rural Residential (with the proposed lot split) meets the �-- lot, use, and density requirements. 14084 Baxter Drive, Suite 7 1 Baxter, Minnesota 56425 1 866.900.3064 1 www.communitygrowth.com
