Recommendation 2304-1: To add the following comments to the official Ventura Village comments to the
Minneapolis Land Use Rezoning Study:
a) Minneapolis 2040 Plan goals relating to the creation/retention of family housing should be added
to the section on “What does the Minneapolis 2040 Say” and the way in which the proposed
zoning promotes those goals should be clearly stated.
b) The document needs to address historical preservation.
c) The distinction between CM2 and CM3 is not clear and seems to be misapplied on the proposed
zoning maps.
d) The reason for designating the area around the intersection of Franklin and Hiawatha Avenues as
CM3 needs to be explained.
e) An analysis of how the Ventura Village Master Plan (a small area plan) relates to the Land Use
Rezoning Study needs to be conducted.
