8. PC Resolution 2021-08 Deny Amending Future Land Use Map
CITY OF SCANDIA, MINNESOTA
PC RESOLUTION NO. 2021-08
DENYING AN AMENDMENT TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP IN THE 2040
SCANDIA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR PARCELS 24.032.20.41.0001;
24.032.20.44.0002; AND 24.032.20.44.0001
LOCATED AT 20168 ST. CROIX TRAIL NORTH
WHEREAS, Greg and Andrea Sandager made an application to amend the designation
of parcels in the future land use map of the 2040 Scandia Comprehensive Plan property
addressed as 20168 St. Croix Trail North, and
WHEREAS, the property is legally described in Attachment A; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the request to amend the future land use
map at a duly noticed Public Hearing on April 6th, 2021, and recommended that the City Council
deny the request;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SCANDIA, WASHINGTON COUNTY,
MINNESOTA, that it denies an amendment to the future land use map in the 2040 Scandia
Comprehensive Plan for parcels 24.032.20.41.0001; 24.032.20.44.0002; and 24.032.20.44.0001,
based on the following findings:
1. The proposed change in future land use designation could result in a negative impact to
the rural character of the surrounding area. If the change in future land use designation is
approved, and the parcels are rezoned to R COMM, the subject property would be
permitted a number of land uses by right that are in conflict and not compatible with the
rural character of the area.
2. The parcels in question do not fully meet the definition of the Rural Commercial future
land use designation, which is currently limited to a limited number of specific areas.
Since they do not conform to the definition of the Rural Commercial future land use
designation, the proposed amendment would be out of step with the principles of the
Comprehensive Plan.
