Commercial Property Rezoning Request Community Development Director McCabe: Provided a summary of a possible rezoning request for property along Tower Street. McCabe explained the school district is selling their district services office, which is zoned R-3, High Density Residential. There are two adjacent parcels to 4646 Dakota Street SE Prior Lake, MN 55372 the west which are also listed for sale and are zoned C-2, General Business. A multi-family residential developer is interested in constructing a multi-family apartment building, which would require a land use plan amendment and rezoning of the C-2 parcels to R-3. Staff requested comments from the EDA related to a potential rezoning from commercial to residential. Commissioners: discussed the potential request and noted the City of Prior Lake has placed great importance on the preservation of the city’s limited available commercial property. The EDA expressed initial support for a potential rezoning due to the limited visibility of this commercial property. B. Dakota Street Property Sale Update Community Development Director McCabe: Informed the commissioners that the sale of the 4664 and 4666 Dakota Street parcels has closed and construction of the Cora Apartment building is anticipated to begin within the next two weeks. 9.
