& Decision

CSAH 37 and south of Interstate 94 from A-1 District to 1-2 District to allow development of the
Otsego Industrial Park 5"' Addition Preliminary Plat.
City Council Meeting Date: 28 January 2002

Commission and evidence received, the City Council of the City of Otsego now makes the
following findings of fact:

2. The 15 -acre property lies within the Long Range Urban Service Area and is guided for
industrial land uses by the 1998 Comprehensive Plan Update, as amended.
3. The property is zoned A-1, Agricultural Rural Service District; The applicant is requesting
the property be rezoned to 1-2, General Industrial District to allow for development of the
preliminary plat entitled "Otsego Industrial Park Vh Addition".
4. The Planning Commission and City Council must take into consideration the possible
effects of the Zoning Map amendment with their judgement based upon (but not limited to)
the criteria outlined in Section 20-3-2.F of the Zoning Ordinance:
A. The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the
official City Comprehensive Plan.
Finding: The area south of Interstate 94 and north of CSAH 37 is guided for future
industrial development taking advantage of visibility to the Interstate to expand the
City's tax base. The proposed subdivision is a logical extension of the development
that has occurred within the Otsego Industrial Park to the east and will serve to
realize the City's goals.
B. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area.
Finding: Existing uses surrounding the property include industrial uses to the east
and crop production to the south and west. The Comprehensive Plan anticipates
full development of the parent parcel with industrial uses meaning that no
compatibility issues should be expected with either existing or planned area uses.
C. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained in the
Zoning Ordinance (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.).
Finding: All of the proposed lots and design features of the preliminary plat will be
required to meet applicable performance standards.
D. The proposed use's effect upon the area in which it is proposed.
Finding: The proposed preliminary plat has the effect of continuing industrial
development along the Interstate 94 corridor, which positively contributes to the
City's tax base.
E. The proposed use's impact upon property values of the area in which it is proposed.
Finding: Although no study has been completed, the proposed use is not anticipated
to negatively impact area property values.
F. Traffic generation by the proposed use in relation to the capabilities of streets
serving the property.
Finding: The proposed subdivision is not anticipated to generate traffic beyond the
capabilities of Jensen Avenue, which is a commercial/industrial street design.
G. The proposed use's impact upon existing public services and facilities including
parks, schools, streets, and utilities and its potential to overburden the City's service
capacity.
Finding: The proposed use is not anticipated to have a negative impact to the City's
service capacity.
