Resolution No. 08-121 -2-
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission and staff of the City of St. Louis Park
recommended adoption of an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan 2000-2020 on September 3,
2008, based on statutes, the Metropolitan Regional Blueprint, extensive research and analyses
involving the interests of citizens and public agencies, and the following findings:
1. The subject properties are suitable to commercial mixed use development, based its close
proximity and access to Excelsior Boulevard (a minor arterial), frequently operating transit service,
parks, trails and other services.
2. Changing the land use designation of the subject properties facilitates coordinated
redevelopment of two aging commercial buildings and accompanying parking lots with a "gateway"
building and plaza, transit oriented site design, and improved traffic access and storm water
management that satisfies many Comprehensive Plan goals for the City and this site.
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the advice and recommendation of the
Planning Commission (Case No. 08 -27 -CP);
