the matter be appealed to the Board of Adjustment and Appeals; and
WHEREAS, by letter dated November 10, 19$3 the City Manager did schedule
a public hearing on the matter for November 28, 1983 and did indicate further
reasons for the denim to be considered at such a hearing; and
WHEREAS, the matter was heard by the City Council, acting as the Board
of Adjustment and Appeals, at its November 28, 1983 meeting, continued to
November 29, 1983, whereat the applicant and all interested persons were
given an opportunity to be heard; and
WHEREAS, the City Council having heard such testimony and have reviewed
the report of the City Manager makes the following findings:
1. The uses proposed to be conducted at the premises, including the
warehousing of materials and draper cleaning, are permitted in the industrial
zones of the City.
2. No request for a rezoning of the property has been made by the
applicant.
3. The parcel which is the subject of the requested building permit is
located in a general commercial district of the City. The activity .occurring
at that location is not a permitted use under such zone.
4. The expansion of the existing use is not permitted unless it is brought
into foil compliance with the zoning ordinance of the City.
5. The issuance of a building permit to permit expansion of the existing
use would not be in conformity with the City's Comprehensive Plan and with the
Lyndale-Hub-Nicollet Redevelopment Plan by allowing the establishment of uses
within the area different than the uses contemplated in such plans.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Richfield
that the applicant's request for a building permit is denied for the reasons
indicated above and contained in the City Manager's letters to the applicant;
each basis forms an independent ground for the denial.
Passed by the City Council of the City
November, 1983.
