The Public Hearings begin at 6:00 p.m. You have requested to rezone your property from Agriculture to Forest Management, as described in the City Code. The purpose and intent of the Forest Management zone is to provide a zoning classification for sustainable management of forested areas,to establish and maintain timber resources,to protect the natural environment,to preserve undeveloped areas and to provide recreation opportunities. Development patterns are characterized as very low-density residential without municipal utility service and with only limited demand for accessibility. Forest Management zoning should be used to preserve rural character. For a rezoning,the Commission holds a hearing to review your rezoning and then make a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council then makes the final decision. The City Staff prepares a Staff Report each month for all of the hearings. If you would like a copy of the report for your hearing,there will be one available at City Hall for you to review one week prior to the meeting or you can read it online at www.pequotlakes- mn.gov.
