DISTRICT TO R-4, MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT
UNDER SECTION 14-222 OF THE ST. LOUIS PARK ORDINANCE
CODE RELATING TO ZONING ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2551-

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS PARK:
Findings
1. On June 13, 1985, Kenneth W. Tschida (Kendale, Inc.) filed an application seeking
a zoning change from R-1, Single Family Residence District to R-4, Multiple
Family Residence District at 2551-2581 Vernon Avenue South for the legal
description as follows, to wit:
That part of the Southwest I of the Northwest J of Section 31,
Township 29, Range 24 described as follows: Beginning at a point
in the West line of said Southwest I of the Northwest I distant
336.2 feet North of the Southwest corner of said Southwest i of
the Northwest J; thence North along said West line of the Southwest
i of the Northwest j to a point distant 518.08 feet South of the
Northwest corner of said Southwest I of the Northwest 1; thence
Southeasterly deflecting to the right 1220 36' 42" to an intersection
with a line parallel with and 150 feet East of the West line of
said Southwest J of the Northwest 1; thence South along said
parallel line to its intersection with a line drawn East from the
actual point of beginning and parallel with the South line of said
Southwest J of the Northwest 1; thence West along last said parallel
line to the actual point of beginning.
2. On June 19, 1985, the Planning Commission recommended denial of the zoning
change on a 5-0 vote.
3. On July 15, 1985, a public hearing was opened; and on a 7-0 vote, the City
Council deferred the matter to August 5, 1985 to allow the applicant to meet
and discuss his plans with neighborhood residents.
4. On August 5, 1985 the public hearing was continued and closed; and the City
i
Council authorized preparation of a Resolution of Denial on a 7-0 vote.
5. Based on the testimony, evidence presented, and files and records, the City
i
Council makes the following findings:
1) The requested change would permit uses and density of development
inconsistent and incompatible with the existing zoning uses and densities
on Vernon Avenue.
2) The requested change would permit up to 5 times the traffic volume on a
per acre basis than would be expected from R-1 zoning.
3) The requested change is contrary to the adopted Comprehensive Plan
including Housing Policy No. 1 which states "Maintain most residential
neighborhoods as primarily owner -occupied single family residential areas,"
and would result in use of the interior portions of a residential collector
with low and some medium density development to be used by high density
development.
CONCLUSION
The application for a change in zoning classification is denied based upon the findings
set forth above and on the grounds that conditions required for approval do not exist.
Adopted by the City Council August 19, 1985
