JANE KANSIER~ PLANNING DIRECTOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION INITIATING
THE REZONING OF THE NEW CITY HALL SITE FROM THE
R-2 DISTRICT TO THE C-3 DISTRICT
Histo~.: The Prior Lake City Council recently approved a site for a
new City Hall, located on the north side of Dakota Street, west of Erie
Avenue. The City is in the process of purchasing each of the
properties.
Current Circumstances: The new City Hall site is currently zoned R-
2 (Low to Medium Density Residential). The property has been
identified as C-TC (Town Center) on the 2030 Comprehensive Land
Use Plan, recently approved by the City Council.
The Issues: In order to construct the new City Hall on the proposed
site, with the set proposed setbacks, the property must be rezoned.
Section 1108.501 of the Zoning Ordinance states "the City Council
may on its own motion initiate amendments by referring them to the
Planning Commission for review." A motion to initiate the vacation
will refer this matter to the Planning Commission and allow the staff to
schedule a public hearing. In addition, this action will eliminate the
need for the property owners to file a petition and pay the application
fee.
Conclusion: The staff recommends the City Council initiate the
rezoning from the R-2 to the C-3 district. Any issues will be identified
during the review process.
The City Council has three alternatives:
1. Adopt a Resolution initiating the rezoning of the property to the C-3
district.
2. Deny this Resolution.
3. Defer this item and provide staff with specific direction.
