MINUTES PLANNING COT~MISSION - PU3LIC HEARING ON ZONING OKDINANCE PAGE 3 JUNE 26, 1984 • Another business district which does not show on the map is the concentrated business district. It would apply to Snelling and Larpenteur. It would be used for commercial redevelopment and rennovation of that corner. Instead CARL DALE of the area being zoned B-2 and B-1A, it would provide an overlay district, which would allow those businesses to build in accordance with actual development plans as approved by the City Council. It would allow variances in setbacks, parking and so forth. Special provisions have been made for manufactured or mobile homes. Manufactured homes could be placed on property within the City if the following is met: (1) there must be a basement, the overall dimensions must be at least 20 x 50 feet; and,(2) must conform to building codes. The Planned Ur}it Development area was discu$sed and Planner Dale felt that a PUD is intended to provide flexability tc~ land owners but it can create problemns of potential increased density.
