1. The land use plan amendment provides an appropriate means of furthering
the intent of the Comprehensive Plan for the site by accommodating the
demand for child care services in proximity to major employment generators.
2. The proposed use on the site under the IBC Zoning District would be
consistent with the needs of the development in this location and the
adjoining surrounding industrial uses.
3. The change in land use category will facilitate the rezoning of the property as
desired.
4. The change in land use category will continue to accommodate future and
surrounding industrial use and development, as envisioned by the City's
industrial and economic development goals.
5. The change in use will have expected impacts on public services, including
sewer, water, stormwater treatment, and traffic which have been planned to
serve the property for the development as proposed.
6. The industrial uses for the project area are consistent with the intent of the
City's economic development objectives, as well as with the intent of the
proposed zoning regulations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Planning Commission of the City of Monticello,
Minnesota, that the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the Monticello City
Council approves the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan's land use map on the subject
property to Light Industrial Park and/or Employment Campus as needed to permit the child
care use.
