Home My WebLink AboutItem 06City of Lakeville Planning Department Memorandum To : Planning Commission From: Frank Dempsey, AICP, Associate Planner Date: October 12, 2017 Subject: Packet Material for the October 19, 2017 Planning Commission Meeting Agenda Item: Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the White Funeral Home and McDonald Eye Care properties from O-R, Office/Residential Transition District to C-3, General Commercial District INTRODUCTION The City of Lakeville has initiated the process to rezone two properties currently zoned O-R, Office/Residential Transition District to C-3, General Commercial District. As a result of the change in access to the business properties that abut Kenwood Trail (CSAH 50) due to the road improvement project currently underway White Funeral Home plans to install a dynamic display sign on their property, which would not be allowed in the O-R District. McDonald Eye Care is not proposing a dynamic sign at this time. The Planning Commission discussed the merits of this request at their September 21, 2017 work session. EXHIBITS The following exhibits are attached for your reference: A. Zoning Map B. Aerial Photos C. Kenwood Trail Business Park Preliminary Plat D. Letter from White Funeral Home 2 Surrounding Land Uses and Zoning North –Icenic Way, undeveloped City-owned Parcel and Viking Square Townhomes (O-R and RM-1 District) South – Kenwood Trail (CSAH 50) East –Lakeville Dental (C-3 District) West – Undeveloped City-owned parcel (O-R District) PLANNING ANALYSIS As part of the Kenwood Trail (CSAH 50) improvement project currently under construction, the driveway accesses to White Funeral Home and McDonald Eye Care were removed and relocated to a new road constructed between the businesses along Kenwood Trail and the Viking Square townhomes. The new “backage road” (Icenic Way) accesses Icenic Trail on the east and Kenwood Trail to the west. Icenic Way provides access to McDonald Eye Care, White Funeral Home and Lakeville Dental as well as a currently undeveloped City-owned parcel that will remain zoned O-R. The Planning Commission discussed the proposed rezoning at their September 21, 2017 work session. Limits of Rezoning. Staff reviewed the zoning of properties in the area, especially the three businesses located between Kenwood Trail and Icenic Way. Prior to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, which was approved in December, 2008, all three properties were zoned C-3 District. Planning Department staff suggests that White Funeral Home and McDonald Eye Care were re-guided to O-R District because they directly abutted the Viking Square townhomes to the north. A city street and landscape screening now separates the businesses from the townhomes. The undeveloped City-owned parcel abuts the townhomes. Dynamic Display Sign. Section 11-23-15.T of the Zoning Ordinance allows one electronic changeable copy or graphic display sign in the C-2 or C-3 District. The sign may not exceed 15 feet in height and 40 square feet in area. The new dynamic sign would replace the previous monument sign impacted by the Kenwood Trail improvement project. The dynamic display sign license requires that the electronic display shall not change more often than once every seven seconds. 3 RECOMMENDATION Planning Department staff recommends approval of the Zoning Map amendment to rezone the White Funeral Home and McDonald Eye Care properties from O-R to C-3 for subject to the following stipulation: 1. A sign permit application and electronic sign license shall be submitted and approved by the City prior to the installation of any signs. Findings of fact for approval of the Zoning Map Amendment request are attached.
