CITY OF RICHFIELD DOES ORDAIN:
Section 1. Findings.
a. The City has for many years been concerned with the
proper use and ultimate development and redevelop-
ment of that area of the City generally referred to
as the Lyndale-Hub-Nicollet Area of Richfield (the
Project Area).
b. As a result of that concern, among others, the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Richfield,
Minnesota (HRA) was duly constituted and a Redevel-
opment Plan for the Project Area was adopted by the
Authority and approved by the City Council on
= October 15, 1975.
c. One of the land areas addressed in the Redevelopment
Plan is the block bounded by 65.th Street on the north,
66th Street on the south, Lyndale on the east and
Graham on the west.
~ d. The problems assessment portion of Phase I of the
Redevelopment Plan indicated that the block suffered
from fragmented and inefficient land use, conflicts
in land use, underutilized land, inadequate parking
and pedestrian facilities, and lack of visual unity.
e. The conclusion of this review found in Phase III of
the Plan indicates:
"What has resulted is a commercial area whose recent
development was negatively affected by fragmented
land use, underutilized commercial land and general
deterioration of the area....The original land
planning, lot layout and development practices have
resulted in a commercial area which is suffering
from deterioration and obsolescence,. which if not
abated, will continue to work against the vitality
of the L/H/N commercial area."
f. The Redevelopment Plan calls for the development of
the block as commercial and multi-family residential;
such development should be unified and integrated.
c~
~r
~~
g. Neither the City's Comprehensive Plan noz its official
zoning controls presently. require unified develop-
ment-within the block. Any lot within the block may
presently be developed independently of any other
lot, and without regard to potential development to
the block as a whole.
h. The HRA has adopted and presented the City with a
resolution requesting that certain controls be placed
upon the block in order that the redevelopment of the
block and the Project Area not be frustrated.
i. The Council he-reby finds that a study is necessary
to further determine whether~it caould be appropriate
to adopt suitable controls to require unified and
interdependent development of the block.
j. The Council further finds that it is necessary and
expedient for the purpose of protecting the planning
process and preserving the health-and safety, general
welfare, convenience, and prosperity of the citizens
of the City that during such study period and pend-
ing the adoption of official controls, no development
or redevelopment within the block occur, and no
request for rezoning, special use permit, variance,
platting, building permit or sign permit be con-
sidered.
Section 2. Determination.
During the period hereinafter provided, no development or
redevelopment may occur within the block, and no request for rezoning,
special use permit, variance, platting, building permit or sign shall
be considered.
Section 3. Duration.
This ordinance shall expire one year from its effective date
unless renewed for an additional one year period.
Passed by the City Council of the City of Richfield, NZinnesota,
