of the Transitional Activity section: "A goal of the City's Comprehensive Plan is to <br />gradually phase out industrial zoning in the City. The Council recognizes that the • <br />transition from industrial to commercial uses will occur over time and may require an <br />extended period of transition to be fully realized. The Council further recognizes that it <br />may be appropriate and desirable to permit, subject to the conditions and limitations of <br />this subsection, the owners of lands within the C-2 District, that were zoned and used <br />industrially prior to October 3, 1998, to engage in certain interim activities with respect to <br />the land, the structures or the uses during the transition period which will both permit <br />existing industrial development within the C-2 District to remain viable but which will <br />not have the effect of either delaying the transition or increasing the public costs <br />connected with such transition." <br />Plymouth, Minnesota <br />• Mini-storage is given as a permitted use in C-5 (commercial/industrial), I-1 (light <br />industrial), I-2 (general industrial) and I-3 (heavy industrial). <br />• In C-3 (highway commercial district) in addition to the storage uses named for C-1 <br />and C-2, outdoor storage is allowed by "Administrative Permit" as a principle or <br />accessory use, as long as it does not take up required parking or loading space and <br />meets provisions in other section. <br />• C-4 (community commercial district) allows the same storage uses as C-3. C-4 zones <br />are regional or multi-community commercial districts, not neighborhood commercial <br />districts. <br />• In O (office), C-1 and C-2 commercial districts (limited neighborhood business), <br />Plymouth allows storage as an accessory to a principle use and provides for storage of <br />fuel in above ground tanks under "Administrative Permit," provided certain • <br />conditions are met. <br />• In the city center, public garages and parking ramps (defined as temporary storage of <br />vehicles, temporary not defined) are allowed as an accessory use; "warehousing" or <br />indoor storage is an allowed conditional use, provided the storage is accessory to a <br />principle use and subject to other provisions. <br />• In BC (business campus district) warehousing or indoor storage is allowed only as an <br />accessory to a permitted use in the district. <br />Maple Grove, Minnesota <br />• Allows storage as a permitted use in industrial districts, specifically includes outdoor <br />storage as an accessory use in industrial zones, provided other provisions are met. <br />• Does not allow storage as a permitted use in business districts, although screened <br />outdoor storage of vehicles is allowed as an accessory use on sites over 20 acres. <br />• Allows operation and storage of vehicles and machinery as an accessory use in the <br />agricultural/residential zone, provided they are incidental to a permitted or <br />conditional use in the zone. This zone also allows, as a conditional use, indoor <br />storage, provided certain conditions are met, which include no "sales, rentals or major <br />repair." <br />• <br />
