WHEREAS, the City Council held open the public hearing on October 8, 2007 and;
WEHERAS, the City Council continued the public hearing on November 5, 2007 and;
WHEREAS, the City Council denied the rezoning at their November 5, 2007, meeting, based on
the following Findings of Fact:
Rezoning the property from an M -4, Manufacturing Only to M -2, Heavy Industrial will go
against the reasons for creation of the M -4, Manufacturing Only zoning district: The purpose of
creating the M -4, Manufacturing Only zoning were:
1. To reduce the impact of warehouse and distribution facilities on residential properties
and residential streets from truck traffic by first controlling the location of these
facilities in the City and by implementing site design controls.
2. To encourage uses which provide a significant amount of job opportunities which
require more complex building systems. Buildings with a mixture of uses tend to
have higher building valuation than warehouse construction.
3. To promote clean uses which do not produce fumes, odors, or require outside
operations which may cause noise.
4. To eliminate uses which require significant amounts of outdoor storage.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that based on the reasons listed in the Findings of
Fact, the City Council denies Rezoning Request, ZOA #07 -02, by Timothy Nelson.
PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY THIS
19th DAY OF NOVEMBER 2007.
