NDUM A .:i `U. Meeting Date: 5/12/93 Agenda Item: P 5 CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Referral of the development moratorium (Chapter 5, Section 5) to the planning commission for review and possible amendments SUBMITTED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator REVIEWED BY: Peter Bachman, City Attorney (discussed) EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: Most uses that may have secondary impacts that the city is studying for inclusion and /or regulations through its ordinances fall within the current development moratorium on the commercial district. However, it would be useful to have the planning commission review the city's development moratorium to guarantee that any uses that the city may wish to study for secondary impacts and /or further regulation through local ordinances are included in the development moratorium. (For example the City of Ramsey put a moratorium on "adult uses" until the location and licensing requirements were determined. There may be some licensing requirements conditions that the city may legally attach to a store selling guns.) This planning commission review will include any uses identified by the consultant and staff for secondary impacts and further regulations. It will not delay either aspect of the commercial zoning study. The review will be handled like an amendment to the zoning code that requires a notice in the legal paper. This could be combined with the next planning commission meeting that addresses the revised commercial zoning codes currently being done by Fred Hoisington (special early June meeting Planning commission members endorsed the idea of the additional legal and planning fees for the commercial study as well as the two -tier approach to the study. ACTION REQUESTED: Refer the commercial development moratorium (Chapter 5 Section 5) to the planning commission for review and for its recommendation on any amendments to further clarify what uses it covers.
