Explanation
Rezoning Application Z20-031
APPLICANT: The Emily Program; c/o Kate Norris; 1295 Bandana Boulevard West, Suites 310 and 210; St. Paul, MN 55108; and Jill Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: In-patient medical treatment facility.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on July 9, 2020.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The 1.84± acre site is developed with a medical office building zoned in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The rezoning is necessary because the current CPD, Commercial Planned Development District (Z83-083) permits only C-2, Commercial District uses which do not allow in-patient medical facilities. The requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will allow an in-patient medical treatment facility, a C-4, Commercial District use, in conjunction with the medical office and out-patient treatment uses within the existing building. The request includes use restrictions and a commitment to a site plan, and incorporates a variance to reduce the existing parking setback. The site is within the boundaries of the Far North Area Plan (2014), which recommends office land uses at this location. The proposed use is generally consistent with this recommendation, and does not introduce an incompatible use to the surrounding area.

Body
WHEREAS, application #Z20-031 is on file with the Department of Building and Zoning Services requesting rezoning of 1.84± acres from CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, to CPD, Commercial Planned Development District; and
WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because the requested CPD, Commercial Planned Development District will permit an in-patient medical treatment use that is generally consistent with the office land use recommendation of the Far North Area Plan.
