�y <br /> m <br /> t s <br /> 3F <br /> ro� <br /> 5`Kwn <br /> N <br /> The Planning Commission is recommending that the property be zoned Agricultural. This <br /> recommendation is based on the following findings of fact: <br /> 1. The rezoning to Agriculture is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Future <br /> Land Use Map, which designates this area as an agricultural area. The property is <br /> designated as Agriculture because it is a large, undeveloped tract of land, it is not served <br /> by municipal utilities and less than 50%of the property is wooded. <br /> 2. The parcel is bordered to the north and south by property that the City has proposed to <br /> rezone to Forest Management. <br /> 3. The rezoning to Forest Management does not conform to the Future Land Use Map. <br /> Rezoning to Forest Management technically does not conflict with the Land Use <br /> Ordinance as it abuts other properties that are proposed to be rezoned to Forest <br /> Management to the south and is generally compatible with the surrounding zones. <br /> 4. The parcel is bordered to the north by property proposed to be rezoned Rural Residential. <br /> 5. The subject property also surrounds a property proposed to be rezoned to Rural <br /> Residential. <br /> 6. The property is bordered to the west by property zoned Shoreline Residential <br /> 7. Rezoning the property to Agriculture would not constitute spot zoning as the Agriculture <br /> zoning classification is compatible with the surrounding properties and the property is <br /> approximately 50 acres in size. <br /> 8. The Agricultural zone is compatible with the uses on the surrounding properties. <br /> 9. The area of the property, 50 acres, meets the minimum lot area for the Agriculture and <br /> Forest Management zones. <br /> 10. Rezoning from the old Agricultural district to the new Agriculture zone would increase <br /> the minimum required lot size from 10 acres to 20 acres. <br /> 14084 Baxter Drive, Suite 7 <br /> Baxter, MN 56425 <br /> (218) 828-3064 <br /> www.communitygrowth.com <br />
