RESOLUTION NO. 2010-62 City Of Edina
RESOLUTION ADOPTING FINDINGS OF FACT
FOR THE REZONING OF PROPERTY TO
PLANNED RESIDENCE DISTRICT -5
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota that it
approves the application to rezone the property described on the attached Exhibit "A"
from Single Dwelling District 1 (R-1) to Planned Residence District -5 (PRD -5) based
upon the following findings:
The property is currently zoned Single Dwelling Unit District 1 (R-1).
2. The property is guided in the City's Comprehensive Plan as High Density
Residential.
3. The legal description of the property is set forth on the attached Exhibit "A" which
• is incorporated herein.
4. The rezoning is consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan's high density
residential guiding. The rezoning will allow rest homes, convalescent homes and
nursing homes, which are all high density. The current zoning is not consistent
with the guiding because it only allows single-family dwellings on 9,000 square
foot lots which is low density.
5. The rezoning furthers the following goals and policies of the comprehensive plan:
a. Promote increased housing opportunities and a diversity of housing types
by promoting the creative and innovative use of land designated for
residential/commercial mixed-use while complementing the character of
existing development and promoting transit use and other mobility
alternatives.
b. Seek to accommodate the total projected 1,500 new households projected
to locate in the City by the year 2030.
C. Promote a vision of community that is inclusive of a wide range of ages,
incomes, and abilities and offers a wide range of housing options for
Edina's residents. This broad vision of community is a cornerstone to
• promoting workforce housing that includes a wide range of housing prices
and options, based on the principle that those who contribute to the

• community should have the opportunity to live here. Also, this housing
vision strengthens and reinvigorates community institutions and makes the
City an attractive destination for young families.
d. Increase the appeal of Edina's housing stock in order to attract new
residents and retain current residents.
e. Promote lifecycle housing to support a range of housing options that meet
people's preferences and circumstances at all stages of life.
Acknowledge the interrelationship between land use and transportation,
and support the expansion of existing transportation infrastructure -
capacity through wise land use.
g. Facilitate the development of new housing and recreation facilities that
accommodate the special needs of aging City residents.
h. Encourage infill/redevelopment opportunities that optimize use of City
infrastructure and that complement area, neighborhood, and/or corridor
context and character.
6. The rezoning is compatible with present and future land uses in the area. The
• property is bounded on the south by Highway 62, on the north by a city park, on
the east by a fire station and on the west by townhomes. The property being
rezoned provides a reasonable transition between a major arterial roadway, a
city park and an R-1 residential neighborhood. The scale and mass of
development allowed by the rezoning will be of limited impact to the single family
neighborhood by virtue of distance.

7. The proposed housing fits Edina's demographics. According to the 2000 census,
22.7% of Edina's population is age 65 or older. Many of these residents continue
to live in single-family homes. The proposed housing development offers an
opportunity for these residents to move out of their single-family home and
remain in Edina, resulting in an opportunity for a young family to move into the
vacated single-family residential home.
8. The existing roadways will handle the trips generated by the rezoning. Both the
RLK and WSB engineering firms determined that the existing roadway system
could support the proposed rezoning. Potential traffic impacts will be
concentrated near a major arterial roadway, highway 62.
