PROPOSED MOTION: (�
"The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the rezoning
of 1.25 acres of property located in the northwest corner of Highway 41 and West 78th Street
(3010 West 78th Street) from Rural Residential (RR) to Office Institutional (OI), and adopt the
attached Findings of Fact and Recommendation."
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Westwood Church is proposing the rezoning of a home that is owned by
the church and located at 3010 West 780' Street (Hope House).
LOCATION: West of Highway 41, South of Camp Tanadoona and North of West 7811 Street.
APPLICANT: Westwood Church
3121 Westwood Drive
Excelsior, MN 55331
PRESENT ZONING: Rural Residential (RR)
2030 LAND USE PLAN: Residential Low Density
DENSITY: (1.2 — 4 units per acre)
LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION - MAKING:
The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving rezonings because the City is acting in its
legislative or policy - making capacity. A rezoning must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive
Plan unless the Council expresses its intent to amend the comprehensive plan.
Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet.
PROPOSAL /SUMMARY
Staff is working with Westwood Community Church to resolving a zoning issue on their property. It
was discovered that while the subject home is owned by the church and is under one property
identification number, it has a different zoning. Staff is proposing to rezone the subject property and
correct the zoning map to reflect the current zoning and use of the property.

Planning Case 2014 -14
May 6, 2014
Page 3 of 4
Westwood Community Church is guided for Public /Semi- Public and is zoned Office Institutional. The
"Hope House" property is guided Low Density and is zoned Rural Residential.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Chapter 20, Article II, Division 2, Amendments
Chapter 20, Article XXI. "OI" Office and Institutional District
March 23, 2009, the Chanhassen City Council approved the following:
• Conditional Use Permit to permit two buildings on one parcel; and
• Site Plan Permit for a 51,000 square -foot, two -story multi - purpose building
On July 12, 2004, the Chanhassen City Council approved Planning Case 04 -20 Site Plan Review for a
166 -space parking lot expansion, extension of temporary drive and extension of West 78h Street, and a
Wetland Alteration Permit to alter and fill wetlands on site.
On September 27, 2001, the Chanhassen City Council approved the following:
• Land use amendment from Residential — Low Density to Public /Semi - Public.
• Rezoning of the property from Rural Residential, RR, to Office and Institutional, OI.
• Site Plan #2001 -10, plans prepared by Hammel, Green and Abrahamson, Inc., dated July 6,
2001, with a one -story variance from the Office and Institutional district regulations to permit a
three story building and a 2.5 -foot variance from the 40 -foot building height Highway Corridor
District regulations to permit a 42.5 -foot building
• Wetland Alteration Permit to alter and fill 34,900 square feet (0.8 acres) of wetlands. However,
only part of the wetland alteration occurred for the extension of the sewer and construction of the
storm water pond.
Westwood Community Church built their church in 2001 and expanded in 2004. The construction of West
78a' Street occurred in 2004 to provide access for the church expansion. In anticipation of their expansion,
in November 2003 the church acquired the two homes on Highway 41 addressed 7450 and 7460 Hazeltine
Boulevard. One home (7460) was removed for the construction of the street with the remaining portion
added to 7450 (readdressed to 3010 West 78t` Street).
Westwood Church
Planning Case 2014 -14
May 6, 2014
Page 4 of 4
Because the county gave all the properties on the site the same parcel identification number, and the fact
that the home is a part of the church use, staff is recommending that it be rezoned to Office Institutional.
The Land Use Amendment to Public /Semi - Public will be done at the time of the next comprehensive
plan update in 2018.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion:
"The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the rezoning of 1.25
acres of property located in the northwest corner of Highway 41 and West 7811, Street (3010 West 7811'
Street) from Rural Residential (RR) to Office Institutional (01), and adopt the attached Findings of Fact
and Recommendation."

FINDINGS OF FACT
AND RECOMMENDATION
PLANNING CASE #2014 -14
IN RE:
Application of Westwood Community Church for Rezoning.
On May 6, 2014, the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly scheduled
meeting to consider the application of Westwood Community Church for rezoning of property
from Rural Residential (RR) to Office Institutional (OI). The Planning Commission conducted a
public hearing on the proposed rezoning preceded by published and mailed notice. The Planning
Commission heard testimony from all interested persons wishing to speak and now makes the
following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The property is located at 3010 Westwood Drive is currently zoned Rural Residential (RR).
2. The property is owned by and has the same parcel identification number as Westwood
Community Church.
3. The parcel is part of a larger piece of 50 acres owned by Westwood Community Church and
is legally described as follows:
Commencing at the southeast comer of the Northwest Quarter of the Southwest
Quarter (NW '/ of SW '/) of Section 9, Township 116 North, Range 23 West;
thence 225 feet West to a point; thence 90 degrees North for a distance of 300 feet
to a point; thence 90 degrees East for a distance of 225 feet to a point; thence 90
degrees South for a distance of 300 feet to the point of beginning.
4. The property is guided in the Land Use Plan for Residential Low Density (1.2 — 4 units per
acre).
5. The Zoning Ordinance directs the Planning Commission to consider six (6) possible adverse
affects of the proposed amendment. The six (6) affects and our findings regarding them are:
a. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and
provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive
Plan; including, land use guide of Residential Low- Density.
b. The proposed zoning is or will be compatible with the present and future land uses of the
area.
c. The proposed zoning conforms with all performance standards contained in the Zoning
Ordinance.
d. The proposed zoning will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is
proposed, because it will maintain the development patterns in the area. There will not be
any physical changes to the property required.
e. The proposed zoning can be accommodated with existing public services and will not
overburden the city's service capacity, subject to their availability.
Traffic generation by the proposed zoning is within capabilities of streets serving the
property.
6. The proposed zoning will be consistent with the guidelines outlined within the
comprehensive plan, because it is the City Council's intention to change the land use
designation to Public /Semi- Public.
7. The planning report #2014 -14 dated May 6, 2014, prepared by Kate Aanenson is incorporated
herein.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the following:
"The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the rezoning
of 1.25 acres of property located in the northwest corner of Highway 41 and West 78a' Street
(3010 West 78th Street) from Rural Residential (RR) to Office Institutional (OI)."
