Background
Staff report prepared by Sheila Sellman, Planner
Surrounding Zoning and uses
The redevelopment area is surrounded by mobile home park, townhomes and commercial. The zoning is R-4, RF (Residential Flex), DF (Development Flex), R-3C (High Density Residential) and B-2 (Community Commercial).
Comprehensive Land Use
The majority of the parcels considered for the comprehensive plan amendment have a land use designation of PC (Planned Commercial), CC (Community Commercial), and MHR (Manufactured Home Residential).
History
The area north of 99th Avenue to 105th Avenue on the west side of Highway 65 has been identified in the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan as a priority redevelopment area. It has also been identified as one of the four priority areas by the City Council through the visioning process that occurred in early 2021. The other three areas (125th Avenue/Lexington Avenue, 105th Redevelopment area, and Northtown) have been reviewed and various master planning and rezoning actions have occurred.
The City Council has identified the desire to be proactive regarding zoning and development to encourage businesses and uses that meet the wants of the Blaine community.
The City Council discussed this item at the October 10, 2022, and November 14, 2022, workshop. The Council directed staff to remove BIV from the redevelopment area and rezone as necessary, including any comprehensive plan amendments that will be necessary to match zoning.
Based on the discussion around what land uses would be appropriate for this area, staff is recommending amending the B-5 (Town Commercial) ordinance by removing several uses the city council did not envision for this area and rezoning the area to B-5. The uses removed from the ordinance would also not be permitted at 125th Avenue/Lexington Avenue where B-5 zoning also exists.
Rezoning
Section 27.03 Criteria for granting zoning/comprehensive plan amendments:
The City Council may adopt amendments to the zoning ordinance, zoning map, and comprehensive plan relative to land uses within a particular district or to the location of the district lines. Zoning amendments shall only be used as a means to reflect changes in the goals and policies of the City as reflected in the comprehensive plan or changes in conditions in the City.
The proposed rezoning for the BIV parcel is to change from B-2 (Community Commercial) to R-4 (Mobile Homes) to be consistent with the land use designation of MHR. In addition, the remaining redevelopment area rezoning is from B-2 and I-1 (Limited Industrial) to B-5 (see attached map for details).
Strategic Plan Relationship
Redevelopment is part of Growth Management identified in the Strategic Plan.
