Lili:\I��1V...V� CITY OF CORCORAN RESOLUTION 2006-46 APPROVING FINDINGS OF FACT FOR REZONING FOR UNITED PROPERTIES FOR "CORCORAN BUSINESS PARK" ON PROPERTY �AND LOCATED NORTH OF HIGHWAY 55 AND EAST OF PIONEER TRAIL WHEREAS, United Properties has requested reclassification of the zoning from A (Agriculture) and BP (Business Park) to PUD (Planned Unit Development) for a 54.10-acre parcel, legally described in Appendix A. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request at a duly called Public Hearing and recommends approval, and; WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted an ordinance rezoning the affected parcel from A and BP to PUD; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CORCORAN, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does support the request by United Properties for the reclassification of the zoning from A and BP to PUD for the 54.10-acre property, based on the following findings: 1. The developer's proposal for 544,720 square feet of retail and industrial uses is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, which plans for industrial development in this area to provide opportunities for expansion of local businesses and creation of a strong commercial/industrial tax base in this area of the city will access to Highway 55 and municipal services. 2. The PUD would allow the developer to mix a limited amount of retail land uses in with the office/industrial uses, which could not be accomplished under the BP zoning district. This provides for a variety retail services to support the new industrial tax base and existing residents as envisioned in the Comprehensive Plan. 3. The applicant has met the minimum standards outlined in the Zoning Ordinance and generally complies with the design guidelines adopted as Appendix A of the Zoning Ordinance. The benefits of this project primarily relate to the public improvements anticipated as part of this project. The developer will dedicate the right-of-way for the new frontage road within their project and will be responsible for working with the City of Corcoran to extend municipal sewer and water from the City of Medina to this site. The developer would provide common design elements throughout the Resolution 2006-46 Page 2 project. Details of these design elements will be discussed in the PUD Preliminary Plan section of this report. 4. The PUD will protect and promote the health, safety, comfort, aesthetics, economic viability and general welfare of the City, by establishing strong tax base and providing opportunities for jobs and business expansion within the City. 5. The developer will improve the efficiency of public streets by providing right-of-way for construction of the new Highway 55 frontage road and providing landscaping and trails/sidewalks adjacent to this right-of-way. The landscaping within this street right-of-way would be planted and maintained by the developer, thereby reducing the burden on the City's public works staff. Furthermore, the City has completed a traffic study and the developer would be required to make any other public street improvements required by the AUAR. The developer will improve the efficiency of the public utilities by extending public water and sanitary sewer from the City of Medina to the City of Corcoran. Bringing these utilities to the City of Corcoran will ultimately allow service of the entire Southwest District with municipal sewer and water. 6. The project ensures appropriate transitions between differing land uses. The developer complies with all setback requirements around the perimeter of the site adjacent to the residential land uses. Typically, transitions would be expected between industrial uses and adjacent residential uses and the ordinance anticipates the need for this transition by increasing the minimum setback from 20 feet to 50 feet when non- residential uses are adjacent to residential. The applicant's plan complies with this requirement. ADOPTED by the City Council this 24th day of August 2006.
