background data, policy statements, standards, and maps, which help to guide the future
physical, social, and economic development of the City; and
Whereas, Natasha Lawrence (Applicant) has submitted an application to the City to amend the
Comprehensive Plan, a copy of which is on file in the City’s Planning Department; and

Comprehensive Plan Amendment to the Fridley City Council (Council); and
Whereas, the Council reviewed the Planning Commission and public comments regarding the
Applicant’s requests at its meeting on October 14, 2024; and

Be it further resolved, that the City Council of the City of Fridley hereby authorizes and directs
staff to submit a Comprehensive Plan amendment request consistent herewith to the Metropolitan
Council for review and approval.
Be it further resolved, that the City Council’s approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is
conditioned upon the Applicants providing the City with an executed declaration of restrictive
covenants that will restrict the use of the property to a duplex.

contingent upon the Metropolitan Council’s approval of said amendment.
