Council held a public hearing on the ordinance adopting the amendment on November 27
and December 11; and
Section 3. The City of Council makes the following findings of fact:
A. An objective of the Comprehensive Plan is to "advocate and
support with municipal investment a high quality visual
environment throughout the City and particularly along major
transportation corridors." The proposed amendment is consistent
with this objective.
B. The amendment is also consistent with the following goal of the
Comprehensive Plan: "Provide an economic climate within Richfield that
will encourage the availability of quality goods, services and employment
opportunities for residents."
C. The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan goal to,
"Promote diverse development that will broaden the tax base while
reinforcing the residential character of Richfield," and with its
accompanying objective, "promote development that can support itself
and broaden the tax base."
D. The amendment is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan
objective: "promote Richfield's locational advantage within the greater
metropolitan area."
E. The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan objective to
"address the means to improve the visual quality throughout the City,
concentrating on design districts and transportation corridors, beginning
with land use coordination."
F. The amendment is consistent with the description of the I-494 West
subarea plan that states as follows: "The area between I-35W and Penn
Avenue offers the same future commercial development potential as its
counterpart to the east of 1=35W."
G. Although housing is not part of the development that is currently being
proposed for the subject area, approximately $7 million of the tax
increment generated by the development will be placed in a housing fund
to finance construction and rehabilitation of affordable and market rate
housing throughout the community.

of property in the subject area from R-SFH and C-N to C-R/O, is hereby approved.
