staff report, which are incorporated by reference into the resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Monticello makes the following
Findings of Fact in relation to the recommendation of approval:
1. Changes to the ordinance are necessary to ensure reasonable and clear
regulations.
2. The proposed amendment eliminates concerns over applicability and alignment
with statutory notification requirements.
3. The proposed ordinance amendment provides conformity between the
Monticello Zoning Ordinance and the State of Minnesota statutes.
4. The proposed ordinance amendment further clarifies that ordinance text
amendments are subject to separate notification requirements than map
amendments as outlined in State statute.
5. Providing published notice only for large parcels reduces administrative costs
and burdens that are not well -tailored to the impact of a rezoning request.
6. Rezoning is required to be consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan,
and as such, does not create unanticipated land uses.
7. Mailed notice continues to be required for specific development proposals
requiring other zoning approvals, including PUD, Plats, or other processes that
are most likely to create impacts worthy of additional notification.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE /T RESOLVED, by the Planning Commission of the City of
Monticello, Minnesota, that the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the
Monticello City Council approves the proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance.
