NORTHWEST CORNER OF STIEG ROAD AND COUNTY ROAD 101 (PID OIIA192344m
WHEREAS, Daniel Benjamin ("the applicant") requested approval to rezone approximately 15
acres of land legally described as follows:
See Attachment A
he Planning Commission reviewed the request at a duly called Public Hearing and
approval, and;
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted an ordinance rezoning the affected parcels from Light
Industrial (I-1) to Community Commercial (C-2);
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CORCORAN, MINNESOTA, that it approves the request for the reclassification of the property,
based on the following findings and conditions:
1. Rezoning the referenced parcel to C-2 is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan.
The rezoning will move forward the goal of the Comprehensive Plan to create new land
opportunities while expanding and diversifying the City's tax base. The rezoning is
consistent with the underlying goal of the Northeast District to serve as a job creation
zone. The plan incorporates the trail, park and street connections anticipated within the
site.
2. The rezoning meets the purposes and intent of the individual district. The purpose and
intent of the proposed C-2 district is to provide a variety of retail and service businesses
serving the region, which are oriented towards motorists and require high volumes of
11
traffic and visibility from major roads. The general vicinity of the subject property can
accommodate the purpose and anticipated uses of the C-2 district as evidenced by the
existing C-2 district boundaries to the south of the subject property.
3. There is adequate infrastructure available to serve the proposed action as confirmed in a
feasibility study completed in February 2023.
4. There is an adequate buffer or transition provided between potentially incompatible
districts. The C-2 district will provide a better transition in intensity and uses between the
Bellwether development to the west and the light industrial uses to the north whereas
such a transition is unlikely if the subject property were developed for light industrial
uses based on the existing zoning for the property.
