Questions and comments were received and minutes of the meeting will be <br /> mailed to all property owners along the affected alleys. Maurer said the next step is <br /> to schedule a formal public hearing and suggested the hearing be held February 8, <br /> 1995. Councilmember Jacobs made the motion to hold the hearing on February 8, <br /> 1995. The motion passed unanimously. <br /> A PROPOSED RESOLUTION ADOPTING A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT <br /> FOR AN INTERIM STRATEGY FOR NONPOINT SOURCE <br /> POLLUTION CONTROL <br /> Administrator Hoyt explained that the Metropolitan Council is requiring cities to adopt <br /> an interim strategy for nonpoint source pollution control for future development. <br /> These standards primarily apply to new development and since Falcon Heights is fully <br /> developed, they have little impact on the city but nevertheless are a required element <br /> in the city's comprehensive plan. The standards may impact how the city handles the <br /> quality of stormwater runoff in the future. The Planning Commission unanimously <br /> recommended adopting the proposed amendment and Councilmember Hustad made <br /> a motion to approve resolution 94 -29 approving a comprehensive plan amendment for <br /> an interim strategy for nonpoint source pollution control. The motion passed <br /> unanimously. <br /> CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE TERM OF THE <br /> COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT MORATORIUM, CHAPTER 5, SECTION 5.04 <br /> Administrator Hoyt explained that under the interim development moratorium on <br /> commercial uses, one use, stores that sell firearms, remains under the moratorium <br /> which expires December 31, 1994. Hoyt said that staff is continuing to gather <br /> information from other cities and the planning commission and staff recommend that <br /> council amend the ordinance to extend the interim commercial development <br /> moratorium from December 31, 1994 to March 31, 1995. She said that its legal limit <br /> would be September 30, 1995. The extension should allow time for the staff to <br /> complete its research and for the planning commission and city council to complete <br /> the process to review and adopt the appropriate ordinances. However, Administrator <br /> Hoyt stated that meeting this deadline would require working very efficiently and not <br /> accommodating any delays that might occur in the process.
