AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
WHEREAS, Legal notice of the public hearing was duly published and mailed in accordance
with Minnesota Statutes and Prior Lake City Code; and
WHEREAS, The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on July 28, 2003, for
those interested in this request to present their views; and
WHEREAS, On August 18, 2003, the Prior Lake City Council considered the proposed
amendment to the 2020 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map to change the
designation of the above described property to the R-HD (High Density
Residential) designation and;
WHEREAS, The City Council received the staff reports, Planning Commission minutes and
other information; and
WHEREAS, The City Council has carefully considered the testimony, staff reports and other
pertinent information contained in the record of decision of this case.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PRIOR LAKE,
MINNESOTA, that:
1. The above recitals are incorporated herein as if fully set forth.
2. The City Council hereby adopts the following findings of fact:
(a) The proposed amendment is inconsistent with the goals and objectives of the 2020
Comprehensive Plan in that there has not been a material change in the area or
conditions affecting the site since the Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1999.
(b) The goal of "Economic Vitality" in the 2020 Comprehensive Plan requires the City to
"pursue a prudent use of available resources and the optimum functioning of economic
systems." This application is inconsistent with this goal in that it removes 18 developable
acres from commercial designation.
(c) Removing this land from the commercial designation is inconsistent with the 2020
Comprehensive Plan objective stating "Determine and strive for a balance of commerce,
industry and population."
(d) Removing this land from the commercial designation is inconsistent with the stated goals
and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan in that it does not encourage a diversified
economic base.
(e) Removing this land from the commercial designation is inconsistent with the stated
objective of the 2020 Comprehensive Plan to "Promote sound land use." The upgrade of
County Roads 42 and 83 and attendant future increases in traffic at this location bolster
the argument for commercial development at this intersection and does not support an
argument for residential development at this location.
(f) The applicant has not provided a rationale for the change in designation.
