The three preliminary plat applications were tabled: one at the request of the applicant and the other two requiring additional information. The Planning Commission is forwarding you the following recommendations for your consideration: 1. Rezoning of City to New Zoning Classifications,City of Pequot Lakes. On August 3, 2004, the City of Pequot Lakes adopted a new Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map. As part of the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan, the City updated and adopted a new Land Use and Subdivision Ordinance on June 7, 2005 that conforms to the Future Land Use Map in the Plan and moves the City forward in executing the policies set forth in the Plan. The Draft New Zoning Map was presented at the last Planning Commission for discussion purposes and residents were given the opportunity to comment or ask questions about the new zoning classifications. Any resident who wished to have a separate rezoning hearing had the opportunity to sign up for a separate rezoning and those properties will be left out of this phase of the rezoning process. Properties to be Rezoned: The properties to be rezoned include all properties within the City of Pequot Lakes except for those on the attached list. A map showing all parcels that the Planning Commission has recommended for rezoning has also been attached to this report. The map and the parcel list can also be viewed online at www.pequotzoning info. The Planning Commission is recommending approval of the all parcels within the City except those choosing to have a separate public hearing based on the following findings of fact: 1. The rezoning is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map- 2. The new zones were created based on the criteria laid out in the new Land Use Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan. 3. These rezonings are not being proposed by individual property owners, but are part of the City's Comprehensive Plan 14084 Baxter Drive, Suite 7 Baxter, MN 56401 (218) 828-3064 www.communitygrowth.com
