• Planning Commission <br />11/29/05 <br />ITEM: Progress Report on Recodification <br />SUBMITTED BY: Deb Jones, Zoning & Planning Coordinator <br />REVIEWED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator <br />EXPLANATION: <br />Summary: Several months ago the City contracted with Municipal Code Corporation to <br />recodify the Falcon Heights City Code. The last recodification was done in 1993. The <br />first step in the present process was a thorough legal analysis of the entire code, including <br />all ordinances that have been passed since 1985. Roger Merriam of Municipal Code met <br />with Staff and the City Attorney on November 22 to go over this analysis in detail. <br />In Chapter 9, the zoning code, the following are some of the areas that will require the <br />most work: <br />• Signs <br />• Appeals <br />• • Variances <br />• References to the building code and other outside standards <br />In addition, many minor adjustments and revisions have been recommended throughout <br />the chapter. The next step is to clean up the legal inconsistencies and obsolete provisions <br />and to prepare a draft. <br />ATTACHMENTS: None <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />None at this time. The purpose of this interim report is to keep the Planning Commission <br />informed of the status of the recodification project. <br />n <br />U <br />
