Section 1
Statement of Leaislative Intent: The Council of the City of Saint Paul finds that it is necessary
to preserve the status quo regarding building and development in that area of the City presenfly
subject to the Loeb Lake Small Area Plan and Zoning Study as delineated on Exhibit A which is
attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
The said study, authorized under City planning commission resolutions nos. OS-13 and OS-14,
each dated February 11, 2005, is intended to assess redevelopment opportunities and recommend
appropriate zoning classifications and development guidelines for the redevelopment and
transformation of the Loeb Lake area and make recommendations for incorporating those
classifications and guidelines into the City's comprehensive plans and official controls.
During the pendency of the L.oeb Lake study, there exists the possibility that existing or former
commercial and industrial uses, as well as some of the present zoning classifications for land
within the study area would, in the near term, pernut development which could be incompatible
or inconsistent with any recommended long term goals and classifications arising from the said
planning study of the L.oeb Lake area and adopted into the City's comprehensive plans and
official controls.
The potential for incompatible or inconsistent development in the Loeb Lake study area raises
substantial guestions relating to the ability of the City's present official controls to provide
compliance with any long term comprehensive redevelopment and transformation goals for the
Loeb Lake area.
