1.06 On July 15, 2025, the City Council approved the requests.
Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 Approval is based on the following findings:
I If the Comprehensive Plan Amendment were approved, the findings for rezoning per Section
36-216 of the City Code would be met.
2. The property is located on a Minor Arterial Roadway, similar to the nearby Olde Vernon
development to the west on Vernon. Duplexes in Edina are typically located on Arterial
roadways.
3. The site and the site to the east are isolated from adjacent land uses. These two sites are
bordered by Highlands School to the north; Vernon Avenue to the south; a solid wood fence
along the west lot line and a row of trees separates the single-family homes on Goya Lane;
and the property to the east is a large wetland located on a 4.5-acre site owned by the City of
Edina. This proposal would not be detrimental to those properties.
4. The density is similar to the four single-family homes to the east.

demonstrated in the staff report.
