7. ZONING CODE REFERENCE; § 66.216; § 66221; §61.801(b}
8. STAFF REPORT DATE: January 15, 2008 BY: Patricia James
9. DATE RECEIVED: December 24, 2007 6Q-DAY DEAQLINE EQR ACTtON: February 22, 2�08
A. PURPOSE: Rezoning from B2 (Community Busniness) to RM2 (Medium-Density Multiple-
Family Residential).
B. PARCEL SIZE: 80 ft. (Grand) x 150 ft. = 12,000 sq. ft.
C. EXISTING LAND USE: Maintenance building and single family house
D. SURROUNDING LAND USE:
North: University of St. Thomas, mixed density residential (B2, RM2)
East: Neighborhood commercial uses (B2)
South: Low density residential (R3)
West: Mixed density residential (RM2)
E. ZONING CODE CITATION: §§ 66216 and 66221 list the intent and permitted uses in the
RM2 zoning district; §61.801(b) provides for changes to the zoning of property initiated by
the property owner.
F. HISTORY/DISCUSSION: This property was specificaliy listed in a revised conditional use
permit for St. Thomas (Z.F. # 04-054-501) as one that the University will rezone to
residential use and sell (see Finding 1 below). In 1977, St. Thomas applied to rezone the
western half of this parcel (Lot 29, address 2080 Grand) from B2 to RMZ. This request was
granted by the City Council.
G. DISTRICT COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION: District 14 had not commented at the time this
staff report was prepared.
H. FINDINGS:
1
2.
The University has owned both Lots 29 and 30 for over 30� years. In 1977 Lot 29 was
rezoned to RM2 Medium-Density Multipie-Family Residential. At some time, the fots
were combined into one parcel, resulting in split zoning along the common lot line. One
condition of the 2004 Conditional Use Permit for St. Thomas states: "...St. Thomas
agrees to sell, within 5 years from the date of permit approval, the properties it owns
south of Grand Ave., including 2076, 2080, and 2084 Grand Ave. St..Thomas further
agrees to apply to rezone 2076 Grand Ave. to a residential zoning classification...." This
rezoning application satisfies a portion of this condition.
The proposed zoning is consistent with the residential uses and zoning to the west.
Rezoning Lot 30 from B2 to RM2 will meet a condition of the 2004 permit as well as
create uniform zoning for the entire parcel. The University currently uses the storage
buiiding located at 2076 Grand as a maintenance garage. This use will become iegally
nonconforming at such time as fhe zoning is changed to RM2, and the University will be
abie to continue this use in the building until it is sold for residential use in 2009.
Zoning File # 07-224-335
Zoning Commitfee Staff Report
Page 2 of 2
3. The proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Both fhe Land Use •
Plan (Objective 5.4) and fhe Housing Policy Plan (Policy 5.4) support the creation of
sites for new housing development. The District 14 Pian recommends providing
diverse housing opportunities for all income levels and lifestyles.
4. Because the proposed zoning matches the existing multiple family zoning district
immediately west of the site and remedies a split zoning situation on the existing
parcel, it does not raise the issue of "spot zoning.°
I. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Based on the above findings, staff recommends approval of
the rezoning from B2 (Community Busniness) to RM2 (Medium-Density Multiple-Family
Residential).
