The property is designated C- TC on the 2020 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map. On February 2, 2004, the City Council approved a resolution amending the 2020 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map to designate the subject property C- TC (Town Center Commercial). The Metropolitan Council deemed the amendment consistent with the regional plan on February 18, 2004. On March 8, 2004, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on this item, and unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning request. The Commission supported the change because it is consistent with the land use designation on the 2020 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map. A copy of the meeting minutes is attached. Current Circumstances: A single family dwelling, constructed in 1920, occupies the site. The property is currently zoned R-2 (Low-Medium Density Residential).

In order to permit the commercial use, the zoning map must be amended to be consistent with the C- TC land use designation on the 2020 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map. Thus the applicant is requesting the property be rezoned from R-2 to C-3. The C-3 use district is consistent with the C-TC comprehensive plan land use designation.

The current R-2 zoning of the property is inconsistent with the C- TC land use designation on the 2020 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map. The proposed C- 3 zoning is the only zoning use district consistent with the C- TC designation. Accordingly the requested zoning map amendment will carry out the goals, objectives, and policies set forth in the comprehensive plan.

Specifically, the location of interest is a property currently owned by IVEX located at 4616 Colorado Street in Prior Lake with a legal description of LOTS 13 AND 14 AND THE WEST 12 FEET OF LOT 12, BLOCK 13, ADJUDICATED AND REVISED PLAT OF LOTS 1 THROUGH 16, BLOCK 13, AND LOTS 1 THROUGH 13, BLOCK 15, OF THE VILLAGE OF PRIOR LAKE, SCOTT COUNTY, MN. In support of this development project, IVEX would remove the structure currently located on the property. IVEX feels this in an excellent location for a multi-purpose office building, creating a win-win scenario for all parties, for the following reasons: · The location supports the City Council's initiative to enhance Prior Lake downtown redevelopment activities. · The location supports the 2020 Vision and Strategic Plan's desire to extend downtown towards the lake. · The proximity of the location to CR21 and potential intersection at Arcadia makes the site both very visible and accessible. · Development at this location brings new development to the south side of C21 which is important as we work together as a city to ensure that CR21 doesn't divide downtown Prior Lake. · The municipal City parking lot across the street (in addition to any potential on- site parking) provides more than adequate parking availability. Request On February 2nd, 2004 the Prior Lake City Council approved a resolution amending the 2020 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map to the C-TC designation for this property. In support of this exciting development initiative, IVEX is requesting the City Council approve an amendment to the Zoning Map to change the zoning for the property located at 4616 Colorado Street, Prior Lake, MN from R-2 to C-3.
