Uptown Hamel

On June 11, 2019, the Planning Commission will hold public hearings on a series of amendments to the Uptown Hamel zoning district.  The meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall (2052 County Road 24).

Draft Ordinance Amending Zoning Requirements

Draft Ordinance Amending Zoning Map

The Uptown Hamel area “allows for a mix of residential and commercial uses to create a vibrant, walkable, and attractive place; a place to shop, work and live.”  The proposed amendments are intended to make the Uptown Hamel requirements consistent with changes made in the City’s 2020-2040 Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in the fall of 2018.

Current regulations include two subdistricts within Uptown Hamel with different minimum requirements for residential density.  The amendment proposes to place all property into a single district which allows for commercial uses, residential development between 4-15 units/acre, or a combination of the uses.  The Uptown Hamel area is shown in dark purple on the map to the right.

In addition to these changes related to density, the City continues to engage property owners, businesses, and community members on potential design and development standards that will support improvements and new development in Uptown Hamel.  The City recently partnered with a group of students from the University of Minnesota–Humphrey School of Public Affairs, to conduct open houses and a visual preference survey. Their final report can be found below under additional information.

In the coming months, City staff will be meeting with property owners, businesses, and other interested parties to complete a broader review of Uptown Hamel development standards.

2040 Comprehensive Plan Objectives

Mixed Residential Land Use

With the implementation of the City’s 2020-2040 Comprehensive Plan, there are several properties guided for Mixed Residential development in the future. The properties are generally located north of Hamel Road/east of Arrowhead Drive and northwest of Medina Road/Brockton Lane and are identified on the following map:

The Metropolitan Council requires the City of Medina to provide opportunities for development of a minimum of 244 high-density housing units from 2021-2030. The Mixed Residential land use is intended to allow a mix of housing styles with an overall density of 3.5-4.0 units/acre, but a portion of which are required to be developed at a higher density of 8 units/acre or greater. A minimum of approximately one-third of the units would be required to be higher density such as townhomes and apartments to account for the Metropolitan Council requirement.
