If the Council wishes to proceed with portions of this project, it is recommended that an Improvements Hearing be called in accordance with Minnesota State Statutes, Chapter 429, and according to the attached recommended schedule.

51 City of Thief River Falls DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES 405 Third Street East PO Box 528 Thief River Falls MN Request for Council Action 1 # PHONE: 2 I 8-68 I FAX: 2 I 8-68 I mborseth@citytrf.net DATE: January 4, 2016 SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan Amendment RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Council consider the following Planning Commission and Public Works Committee recommendation: Motion to: Amend the Comprehensive Plan to designate the portion of Aspenwood Addition, Lots 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 of Block 1, all of Block 3 and all of Block 4, being zoned to Multi-Family Residential District (R-4), as High Density Residential; and Lot 9, Block 1, and Lot 1 and Lot 2, Block 2, being zoned to General Business District (C-2), as Highway Commercial; and to designate all streets in the plat as Collectors. BACKGROUND: The City of Thief River Falls has a comprehensive plan in place to use as a tool for development and planning. The city's zoning regulations reference certain aspects of the comprehensive plan for compatibility. KEY ISSUES: The area now known as Aspenwood Addition is identified in the Comprehensive Plan as Highway Commercial and Industrial. The majority of the Highway Commercial area is being zoned General Business District (C-2) and complies with the Comprehensive Plan. The portion being zoned Multi-Family Residential District (R-4) and a portion of the area being zoned General Business District (C-2) is currently identified as Industrial and requires this amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. The use consistent with the proposed R-4 zoning requires direct access to a Collector or Arterial street which will require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan designating all streets in Aspenwood Addition be Collector streets. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: None. LEGAL CONSIDERATION: None. DEPARTMENT/RESPONSIBLE PERSON: Mark Borseth, Community Services Director REVIEWED BY: Encl: (2) 51
