focus redevelopment efforts on in an attempt to beautify the City and encourage positive growth; and

and
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council's residential density guidelines for "Developed" communities is 5 units plus
per acre, with higher densities in locations with convenient access to transportation corridors and the proposed

WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Plan Amendment supports other policies of the Metropolitan Council such as
reinvestment/redevelopment,planning pedestrian and bicycle connections between workplaces, residences, retail
and services, using High Density Residential zoning, and supporting a healthy living environment; and
WHEREAS, the City's approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendment for the subject property is contingent on
Metropolitan Council review and the amendment will be sent to the Metropolitan Council accordingly; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing to review
the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and recommends approval of the proposed amendment changing the land use
designation for the subject properties from Commercial to High Density Residential.
