The rezoning will facilitate the subdivision of the property to bring an existing single family home into compliance with the required lot area regulations. On January 28, 2019, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval with the following findings: 1. The rezoning is in -line with the Comprehensive Plan future land use designation for the subject property. 2. Since original zoning in 1960, properties around 2015 Garvin Heights Road have been re -zoned to low density residential or continued agricultural use. 3. The proposed change will not have an undue (excessive)impact on health, safety, and welfare of the community because there is no proposed development for 2015 Garvin Heights Road. Given these findings, approval of the request is recommended. In consideration of this matter, the following alternatives are available to Council: 1. Approve the request as submitted. Under this option, a motion to introduce the attached ordinance for adoption should be made. 2. Deny the request. Under this option, Council will need to state on the record findings supporting the denial of the request. 3. Modify the request. 4. Table the item to allow staff additional time to answer any outstanding questions. Attachments: 1. Ordinance to Rezone AG / NR to R - R 2.

PUBLIC HEARING - REZONE AG / NR TO R - R JANUARY 28, 2019 PAGE 2 Site Access: Garvin Heights Road /County Road 44 Sidewalks: None Transit: None USE HISTORY The area in question has traditionally operated as an agricultural use with supporting residential uses on the properties. SITE / AREA CHARACTERISTICS The area is approximately 10 acres. The properties incorporate active agricultural land as well as supporting agricultural buildings and a residenctial use. Seethe following aerial photo for reference in relation to surrounding parcels and uses. ANALYSIS 1. Was there an error or oversight in approval of original zoning of the site? PLANNING COMMISSION 3. PUBLIC HEARING - REZONE AG /NR TO R -R JANUARY 28, 2019 PAGE 3 No, the original AG /NR zoning was established in accordance with agricultural use that occurs on the property. 2. Have there been changes in area development patterns, since original zoning,to warrant rezoning? Yes, upcoming development in residential zoning to the east of the property as Winona develops outward. 3. Would potential uses of requested R -R zoning impose "undue hardship" relating to noise, odors, etc.)on neighboring properties? No, potential uses of the R -R zoning would not impose "undue hardship" on surrounding properties. 4. Would the public interest be better served if rezoning was considered within another area? No, rezoning to rural residential best serves the public's interest because it is a consistent residential continuation with adjacent zoning and with the Comprehensive Plan's Limited Residential designation for the area in question. 5. Could the rezoning be construed as being spot zoning? Spot zoning occurs if one of the following tests are met: A. The rezoninq action results in benefits which are only enjoyed by the petitioner The rezoning does not solely benefit the petitioner. This is because rezoning of the area in question is required for any kind of limited residential use as designated in the Comprehensive Plan. The limited residential land use classification also continues the low-density residential uses that are developing near the property. B. The rezoninq is considered to be arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable The proposed rezoning fits with surrounding zones and is in concert with the Comprehensive Plan. Thus, the rezoning is not arbitrary, capricious, or unreasonable. C. Rezoning is not consistent with goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. PLANNING COMMISSION 3. PUBLICHEARING - REZONE AG / NR TO R - R JANUARY 28, 2019 PAGE 4 The area in question is designated as limited residential by the future land use plan. Rezoning the area in question to R -R is in accordance with this designation. GENERAL PUBLIC CORRESPONDANCE There has been no correspondence with the general public regarding this application. RECOMMENDATION In summary, the analysis has concluded that: 1. No error or oversight was made in the original AG /NR zoning of the area in question. 2. Adjacent land uses are changing to low-density residential and also maintaining a mix of agricultural warranting rezoning of the R -R area in question. 3. Potential uses of the R -R zoning would not impose "undue hardship on surrounding properties. 4. Rural Residential, limited residential rezoning is the correct designation for the area in accordance with adjacent zoning and the Comprehensive Plan. 5. Because the proposed rezoning is supported by the Comprehensive Plan's designation for the area as limited residential, the proposed rezoning should not be misconstrued as spot zoning. Given the above staff conclusions, approval of this request is recommended. In consideration of this matter, the following alternatives are available to the Commission: 1. Recommend approval of the request, as submitted. 2. Recommend denial of the request and direct staff to draft a resolution of denial. If denial is recommended, specific reasons for denial shall be given. These reasons should pertain to the potential uses of the proposed zone. 3. Recommend modification of the request. 4. Table the item to allow staff additional time to answer any lingering questions.

The areas to be eliminated are as follows: One Hour Fifth Street, northerly side, from a point 20 feet east of the east line of Center Street to a point 52 feet easterly thereof and from a point 94 feet east of the east line of Center Street to a point 87 feet easterly thereof.

Peterson Mayor Attest: Monica Hennessy Mohan City Clerk REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Agenda Section: New Business Originating Department: Date No: 5 Parks and Recreation 19 02/ 19/ Item: The Bluff Traverse Master Plan — Regional Designation No. 5.1 SUMMARY OF REQUESTED ACTION: As the Winona Parks and Recreation Department continues the implementation phase of the Comprehensive Parks Plan and the Bluff Traverse Master Plan, designating a regional park or trail system is a required step in the application process for grant funding. The designation is specifically required for grant applications seeking funding generated from the Clean Water and Land Legacy Amendment. The Parks and Recreation Department is proposing the Sugarloaf Area, Garvin Heights Park and Bluffside Park be regionally designated. Further we would propose the Bluff Traverse Trail System be regionally designated as well. The Bluff Traverse Master Plan that was adopted by the City Council on January 07, 2019, highlights and justifies regional significance of these areas and trail system. The application process we are proposing, to achieve the regional designation, does not require a City of Winona funding allocation. Staff recommends designating the Sugarloaf Area, Garvin Heights Park, and Bluffside Park as well as the Bluff Traverse Trail System as regionally significant. The application documents will refer the parks and trail system as `The Bluff Traverse.' If Council concurs a motion to approve the attached resolution and direct staff to submit an application to the Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trail Commission would be in order. Depa t Approval: City Ma ager Appro I: 64, RESOLUTION Support for Regional Park or Trail Designation Application in Greater Minnesota WHEREAS the City of Winona is committed to seeking funding for the City of Winona Parks System; and WHEREAS the City of Winona would be the lead applicant and has the authority to act as the legal public sponsor for the application described in the request for designation as a Regional Park or Trail in Greater Minnesota. We formally support and authorize the applicant's submission. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Winona, as the lead applicant, is fully aware of the information provided in the application and associated responsibilities, including long t-erm commitments as defined in the application and related master plan; and FURTHERMORE BE IT RESOLVED that should the Bluff Traverse receive formal designation as a Regional Park or Trail in Greater Minnesota by the Commission, that as the lead applicant, the City of Winona has the legal authority to enter into formal designation and funding requirements with the Commission for the referenced park or trail; and FURTHERMORE BE IT RESOLVED that the lead applicant certifies that the City of Winona will comply will all applicable laws and regulations associated with regional designation and any future grant funding for the respective portions of any project.
