We have placed you on the upcoming Planning Commission Agenda for this <br /> `... public hearing which will be held on April 20, 2006 at 6:30 p.m. Your public hearing is <br /> the first hearing on the agenda. <br /> As you may already know, the City of Pequot Lakes recently adopted a new Land Use <br /> and Subdivision Ordinance. The City is in the process of rezoning all properties within <br /> the City to conform to the new zoning classifications in the ordinance and to conform to <br /> the goals described in the City's Comprehensive Plan. <br /> The City has proposed to rezone your parcel from Forestry to Agriculture, as described in <br /> the new Ordinance. The purpose and intent of the Agriculture zone is to provide a zoning <br /> classification for the preservation of family farms and small-scale agricultural uses and to <br /> allow for low density residential development compatible with those uses. Development <br /> patterns are characterized as very low density residential without municipal utility service <br /> and with only limited demand for accessibility. Agriculture zoning should be used to <br /> preserve rural character. <br /> For a rezoning, the Commission holds a hearing re review your rezoning and then makes <br /> a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council then makes the final decision. <br /> The City Staff prepares a Staff Report each month for all of the hearings. If you would <br /> like a copy of the report for your hearing, there will be one available at City Hall for you <br /> to review one week prior to the meeting or you can read it online at <br /> www.communityg[owth.com/pequot lakes/.
