Resident questions notice and potential 50-unit project tied to rezoning at 825 11th Street SW
Summary
At a public hearing on rezoning two parcels at 825 11th Street SW, a nearby resident said she received notice and asked whether she would be notified about an anticipated apartment project; staff explained subsequent site-plan review and property-owner notices.
The Pine City Planning Commission held a public hearing April 22 on a rezoning request to change two parcels at 825 11th Street SW from general business to mixed use.
Deborah Larson, a nearby resident who said she lives at 795 1st Street SW, told the commission she received a mailed notice and had heard there may be a 50-unit apartment project associated with the rezoning. "I just had construction on one side of me ... now I was just wondering about ... building a 50 apartment unit complex on the other side of me now," she said.
Staff clarified that the public-hearing item considered only the rezoning; any specific project would still require additional steps. If the rezoning is approved, the project proponent would need to submit a site-plan review; property owners are notified by letter at those later stages. The planner said staff can notify residents when site-plan review is scheduled for planning commission consideration.
Commissioners discussed the rezoning and later recommended approval by voice vote. The hearing record did not include details of a completed site plan or final project approvals.
Next steps: if the rezoning is adopted, staff expects any project tied to the site will come forward through site-plan review, which triggers mailed notice to property owners.
