04-34 - 05-18 - Denial of Rezoning 2 Family Resential 3370-72 Lilac Drive Resolution 04-34 May 18, 2004
Member Grayson introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION FOR DENIAL OF REZONING TO
TWO FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (R-2) ZONING DISTRICT
3370-72 LILAC DRIVE NORTH
WHEREAS, the City Council for the City of Golden Valley, pursuant to due notice,
has heretofore conducted a public hearing to consider the change in the rezoning of the
property located at 3370 Lilac Drive North from R-1 (Single Family Residential Zoning
District) to R-2 (Two Family Residential Zoning District); and
WHEREAS, after the public hearing was held, the Council verbally expressed its
rationale to deny the rezoning of 3370 Lilac Drive North, legally described as Lot 4 the
North Y2 of Lot 3, Block 3, Dahindens 3rd Addition.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Golden Valley
that it denies the rezoning for 3370 Lilac Drive North and memorializes its rationale as
follows:
1. The surrounding neighborhood is zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential Zoning
District). When the City Council adopted the Zoning Map for the City in the early
1980's and created a separate R-2 (Two Family Residential Zoning District), it was
the intent of the City Council to provide areas of the City exclusively for single family
homes and exclusively for two family homes.
2. If this one lot was to be rezoned to R-2 (Two Family Residential Zoning District) in
the midst of neighborhood zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential Zoning District),
this would constitute "spot zoning" and be inappropriate for the area.
Linda R. Loomis, Mayor

Donald G. Taylor, City Clerk
