WHEREAS, the Subject Property has been guided public & semi-public since May of 1978 and
public/semi-public/institutional since 1993. The City did not receive a request or feedback from the
Applicant or Property Owner of the Subject Property requesting that the affected property be reguided
LA-1 during the recent review and decennial update of the Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City’s most recently adopted Comprehensive Plan continues to guide the
Subject Property P-I; and
WHEREAS, reguiding the Subject Property, which consists of 156.8 acres, from P-I to LA-1 is an
intensification of use of the Subject Property that was not contemplated by the recently adopted
Comprehensive Plan that was reviewed and approved by the Metropolitan Council and is inconsistent
with the Plan as adopted;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH,
MINNESOTA, that it should and does deny a Comprehensive Plan amendment to reguide roughly 156.8
acres of land located at 4710 Holly Lane from P-I (public/semi-public/institutional) to LA-1 (living area-
1), based on the analysis contained within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid
memos, all minutes from the above-mentioned meetings, all comments received by the public or
applicant, and any and all other materials distributed at these meetings, and the record of the
application reviews, which are hereby incorporated by reference.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, this resolution denies the related rezoning, preliminary plan, and
subdivision code variance that was submitted for the former Hollydale Golf Course site, as those
aspects of the development proposal and applications are inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan
guiding of the Subject Property as P-I and premature based on denial of the requested reguiding
application.
ADOPTED by the City Council on this 24th day of November, 2020.
