Review
RJC Rental Properties LLC, is requesting the rezoning of properties located on 3rd Avenue from M-1, Light Industrial, to R-3, Limited Multiple Dwelling District.
The subject properties are described as Lots 3, 4, and 5, Block 25, Mankato City subdivision (1618, 1620 and 1622 3rd Avenue). The Blue Earth County Parcel Identification Numbers associated with the parcels include R010906460008, R010906460012, R010906460011.
The applicant, RJC Rental Properties, LLC, has applied to rezone the properties addressed at 1618, 1620 and 1622 3rd Avenue from their current zoning designation of M-1, Light Industrial, to R-3, Limited Multiple Family Dwelling district. The proposed rezone is consistent within the neighborhood, as well as the adjacent neighborhood’s south and west of the subject site for which the land use plan is also identified as, “Medium Density Residential.”
The purposed zoning and use of subject property as a residential use is consistent with the adjacent neighborhood. Properties used for residential purposes are located adjacent to the subject property across 3rd Ave.
Directly East of the subject site is designated as R-1, One-Family Dwelling. North and south of the R-1 designation are properties used for residential purposes. Those properties maintain the M-I, Light Industrial, zoning designation and will do so until such a time as those property owners seek a rezoning of the subject properties. The property located to the North of the subject site, Mankato Makerspace, is zoned M-1, Light Industrial.
Future uses must comply with the R-3 ordinance. It is anticipated that a conditional use permit will be submitted in the upcoming months for an Intensive Outpatient Treatment Program (IOP) within the building. However, that is not being reviewed with this application, and when a complete application is received for that request, you will receive additional notice.
