Conformance to the City of Pequot Lakes Future Land Use Map and any other <br /> official maps of the City. <br /> Section 17-5.10 of the Ordinance contains the requirements for the Commercial Zone: <br /> 1. Purpose and Intent: To provide a zoning classification for commercial <br /> uses oriented around the automobile. Parcels are larger than in the Downtown <br /> Mixed-Use zone in order to provide on-site parking, on-site stormwater facilities <br /> as well as on-site water supply and sewage treatment where municipal utilities <br /> are not immediately available. <br /> 2. Compatibility: The Commercial zone should be established as a transition <br /> zone between the Downtown Mixed-Use zone or the Light Industrial Zone and <br /> the surrounding residential zones. The zone may not be established in an area <br /> where it is completely surrounded by residential zones. <br /> 3. Lot. Use and Density Requirements. <br /> Lot width—feet,minimum 50 <br /> Buildable lot area sewered)—square feet, minimum 10,000 <br /> Staff Findings: Staff provides the following findings of fact for consideration by the <br /> Planning Commission: <br /> 1. The rezoning to Commercial is not consistent with Future Land Use Map, which <br /> designates the property as Urban Residential. It is a less intense zone than Light <br /> Industrial. <br /> 2. Rezoning to Commercial is more in keeping with the purpose and intent of the <br /> Ordinance than the current classification as it is a less intense zone. <br /> 3. The surrounding properties are zoned Light Industrial, Commercial and <br /> Downtown Mixed Use. Light Industrial, Commercial and Downtown Mixed Use <br /> are all compatible with each other. The property is not surrounded by residential <br /> zones. <br /> 4. The Commercial Zone may be established next to the Light Industrial Zone or the <br /> Downtown Mixed Use Zone. <br /> 5. The rezoning to Commercial meets the lot,use, and density requirements. <br /> Planning Commission Direction: The Planning Commission can recommend that <br /> the City Council approve,deny, or table this rezoning. <br /> Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the <br /> rezoning request. <br /> Pequot Lakes Staff Report 4(a)-2 <br /> November 19,2009 <br />
