together with the West 40 feet of Lot 17 and the
and the East 25 feet of Lot 18, all in Block 2,

Dear Madam: of Lot 11 , all in Block 3, Woodland Park Addition.
This letter is written in response to the petition of the Housing & Redevelopment
Authority to rezone seven lots located on the north and south sides of Dayton Avenue
between Dale & Kent Streets from B-2 (Community Business) to RM-1 (Low Density, Low
Rise, Multiple Family Residential ).
This matter was originally heard before the Current Planning & Zoning Committee on
December 1 , 1977. The committee laid the matter over because staff reported
insufficient information to continue. Subsequent to that meeting a letter was
received from the Economic Development Division staying all action on this rezoning
until such time as a 40 Acre Study could be initiated. This matter is being processed
now because several of the lots have been sold to the general public and they cannot
obtain building permits without rezoning.
This matter was again heard before the Current Planning & Zoning Corr�nittee on March
2, 1978 at which time staff recommended approval of the petitioner's request subject
to initiation of a 40 Acre Study to rezone the remaining lots fronting on the north
and south sides of Dayton Avenue between Dale & Kent Streets. Mr. Hummer moved to
recommend approval of the rezoning. Ms. Grittner seconded his motion and it passed
on a 5 to 0 roll call vote.
On March 10, 1978 the Planning Commission confirmed the recommendation of the
Current Planning & Zoning Committee by a roll call vote of 15 to 0, and also passed
a resolution initiating the 40 Acre Study.
This matter is scheduled to be heard by the St. Paul City �ouncil on March 23, 1978.

8. STAFF INVESTIGATION & REPORT: Date: 2-23-78 By: EJW
A. SUFFICIENCY: The applicant's request was filed on a short form rezoning petition
su�6scri'�e�& sworn to before a notary public on October 21 , 1977 and received by the
Planning Division on October 26, 1977.
B. HISTORY: This matter was originally heard be�ore the Current Planning & Zoning
Committee on Dec. 1 , 1977. The committee laid this matter over because staff reported
there was insufficient information to continue, and because the applicant was not
present. Subsequent to that meeting, a letter was received from Chuck McGuire,
Principal Planner in the Economic Development Division of the Dept. of Planning &
Economic Development, on Dec. 29, 1977, staying all action on this rezoning until
such time as a 40 Acre Study could be initiated. This matter is being processed
now because several of the lots have been sold to the general public and they
cannot obtain building permits without rezoning.
C. PROPOSAL: The proposal is to rezone from 6-2 to RM-1 to allow the construction of
hous g on vacant parcels situated between other housing units in a B-2 zone.
D. FRONTAGE & AREA: This proposal involves the rezoning of 7 separate sites with a
total frontage of 255 ft. on the north side of Dayton and 220.5 ft. fronting on
the south side of Dayton, for a total area of approximately 68,300 sq. ft. , or
1 .57 acres.
E. SITE CONDITIONS: All 7 sites are vacant and bordered by large older homes in various
states of repair and rehabilitation.
F. AREA CONDITIONS: The area is one of extensive home and corrmercial rehabilitation
e orts. e y Avenue, an old canmercial strip undergoing renovation, is one block
to the south. The Control Data proposal is located 3 blocks to the north.
G. FINDINGS:
1 . The proposed rezoning sites are vacant.
2. Nine of the 11 remaining lots on both sides of Dayton between Dale & Kent have
existing residential structures.
, ,
f ' .
HRA (Woodland Park Addn. ) Page 2
3. The existing residential structures, ranging from single family to a 10-unit
building, will not be nonconforming even though they will remain in a B-2
zone. The reason for this is Section 62.103(e)(7) of the zoning ordinance
which states that "In any OS-1 , B-1 , B-2, 6-3 district, existing residential
uses shall not be nonconforming . . . "
4. The Renewal Division of the Dept. of Planning & Economic Development has
promised to immediately initiate a 40 Acre Study to rezone the remaining lots
fronting on the north and south sides of Dayton between Dale and Kent to remove
the existing B-2 classification.
5. If the remaining lots are not rezoned to a residential classification, a
potentially undesirable condition could result with conflicting business uses
adjacent to residential uses in this block.
6. The District 8 Rehab/Improvement Plan dated August 1976 shows this area in a
Residential II classification, which permits residential density not to exceed
24 dwelling units per acre (which is roughly equivalane to an RM-2 zoning).
,
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
There is a sense of urgency for this rezoning because several of the lots involved in
the rezoning haye been sold to the general public and those people are now discovering
that they cannot build or occupy a new house in a B-2 district.
Lending institutions are becoming increasingly aware of the zoning ordinance and its
effects on long term mortgages. This consideration may become important if the existing
residential structures remain in a B-2 zone.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on Findings Nos. 3, 4 and 6, staff recori�nends approval
of the applicant s request.

Dear Mr. Warn:
This letter is written in response to your request for an official
withdrawal of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority' s short-form
petition for rezoning of properties situated on the north and south
sides of Dayton Avenue between Dale and Kent Streets. Because the
request for the rezoning of this property was filed pursuant to a
Housing and Redevelopment Authority administrative order, the with-
drawal of the petition should technically be accomplished by an official
rescinding order. The HRA Legal staff is presently in the process
of preparing a new administrative order requesting the Planning Cotn-
mission to initiate a 40 acre study in Planning District 8 and rescinding
the short-form petition request for those properties previously men-
tioned. The requested 40 acre study may take into consideration
additional rezoning requests for HRA properties in� Planning District 8
which would be in accordance with the general district plan for that
portion of the City.
Until such time as the administrative order requesting the 40 acre
study is prepared and officially submitted, this letter should serve
to stay any action with regard to the requested short-form rezoning
on those properties on Dayton Avenue. If you have any further
questions concerning this matter, please contact my office at your
earliest co nvenience.
Sincerely,
,�9`` � '�' ,�

the existing B-2 classification.
5. If the remaining lots are not rezoned to a residential classification, a
potentially undesirable condition could result with conflicting business uses
adjacent to residential uses in this block.
6. The District 8 Rehab/Improvement Plan dated August 1976 shows this area in a
Residential II classification, which permits residential den�sity not to exceed
24 dwelling units per acre (which is roughly equivalane to an RM-2 zoning).
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
There is a sense of urgency for this rezoning because several of the lots involved in
the rezoning have been sold to the general public and those people are now discovering
that they cannot build or occupy a new house in a B-2 district.
Lending institutions are becoming increasingly aware of the zoning ordinance and its
effects on long term mortgages. This consideration may become important if the existing
residential structures remain in a B-2 zone.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on Findings Nos. 3, 4 and 6, staff recorranends approval
of the applicant's request.

Dear Mr. Warn:
This letter is written in response to your request for an official
withdrawal of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority' s short-form
petition for rezoning of properties situated on the north and south
sides of Dayton Avenue between Dale and Kent Streets. Because the
request for the rezoning of this property was filed pursuant to a
Housing and Redevelopment Authority administrative order, the with-
drawal of the petition should technically be accomplished by an official
rescinding order. The HRA Legal staff is presently in the process
of preparing a new administrative order requesting the Planning Cotn-
mission to initiate a 40 acre study in Planning District 8 and rescinding
the short-form petition request for those properties previously men-
tioned. The requested 40 acre study may take into consideration
additional rezoning requests for HRA properties in Planning District 8
which would be in accordance with the general district plan for that
portion of the City.
Until such time as the administrative order requesting the 40 acre
study is prepared and officially submitted, this letter should serve
to stay any action with regard to the requested short-form rezoning
on those properties on Dayton Avenue. If you have any further
questions concerning this matter, please contact my office at your
earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
� f � � �
