RESOLUTION NO. 8123
A RESOLUTION PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT
TO THE RICHFIELD COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; AND
REFERRING THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO
THE RICHFIELD PLANNING COMMISSION
WHEREAS, a redevelopment proposal has been submitted by CSM
Corporation for land within the Interstate-Lyndale-Nicollet (ILN)
Redevelopment District; and
WHEREAS, such redevelopment proposal consists of mixed retail
use of land; and
WHEREAS, such redevelopment proposal would require the
relocation of the Emerson Avenue Congregational Church from its
existing site at 7701 Emerson Avenue to the northern portion of the
Cloverleaf site; and
WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Plan Map currently designates the
entire Cloverleaf site as "freeway strip", which allows for hotel,
dining, retail, wholesale, office, and multi-family uses; and
WHEREAS, if the CSM redevelopment proposal is approved, and
the church is relocated to the northern portion of the Cloverleaf
site, it is appropriate to redesignate the land at 7701 Emerson
Avenue to "freeway strip", and to redesignate the new church
location (northern portion of the Cloverleaf site) to
"institutional," thereby maintaining conformance with the
Comprehensive Development Plan Map.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Richfield, Minnesota as follows:
1. The Planning Commission is directed to review and consider an
amendment to the Richfield Comprehensive Plan that would achieve the
following:
a. Redesignate the parcel at 7701 Emerson Avenue from
"institutional" to "freeway strip" on the Comprehensive
Development Plan Map.
b. Redesignate a portion of the Cloverleaf site from "freeway
strip" to "institutional" on the Comprehensive Development
Plan Map.
2. The Planning Commission is requested to conduct a public
hearing upon the proposed amendment to the Richfield Comprehensive
Plan, upon such notice as required by law, and report its
recommendation to the City Council by April 18, 1994.
