A RESOLUTION WITH FINDINGS
REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF NADER NOORYSHOKRY
FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING MAP
7100-02 EXCELSIOR BOULEVARD
WHEREAS, on August 28, 1997, Nader Nooryshokry filed an application seeking an
amendment to the St. Louis Park Zoning Map to change the zoning from R-4, Multiple Family
Residence District, to R -C, High Density Multiple Family Residence District, for property located
at 7100-02 Excelsior Boulevard; and
WHEREAS, on September 3, 1997, the St. Louis Park Planning Commission tabled the
request in order to allow more time for the applicant and staff to submit additional evidence; and
WHEREAS, on October 8, 1997, the St. Louis Park Planning Commission considered the
request and additional evidence, heard testimony and recommended denial of the request on a
vote of 4-0-1; and
WHEREAS, on November 3, 1997, the City Council held a public hearing, heard
testimony and discussed the requested amendment; and
WHEREAS, the contents of Community Development Department, Case File No. 97-81-
ZA are entered into the public record of decision on this matter.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the St. Louis Park City Council that the
proposed rezoning is denied based on the following findings.
1. The existing R-4 zoning is consistent with adjacent zoning and existing development to the
east (Meadowbrook Manor);
2. The existing R-4 zoning is more consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies since it limits
non-residential development alternatives for the site while promoting housing development at
an appropriate density;
3. The existing R-4 zoning is consistent with the Residential 30 dwelling units per acre
comprehensive plan designation that has been approved by the City Council and Metropolitan
Council;
4. The proposed R -C zoning would allow certain non-residential uses that are not compatible
with the area.
5. The Analysis of Issues in the November 3, 1997 City Council report is hereby incorporated as
additional findings.
