Summary of the Draft Zoning Code <br />23 August 2021 <br />Page 7 <br /> <br />3824 Huntington Avenue St. Louis Park, Minnesota 55416 <br />612-616-7768 bill@weberplanning.com <br />In the new C-2, Corridor Mixed District, the front setback for the principal building is <br />proposed to be only 10 feet. This is to encourage the building to be set closer to the street <br />with the parking to the side or rear. Remember that the front setback is measured from <br />the front property line, not the street curb. <br />6- INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS <br />Districts to be Deleted <br />The Business-Warehouse, Business-Industrial and the General Industrial Districts are <br />proposed to be deleted because they are each mapped in only one or two small locations. <br />They would all be re-mapped as the amended I-1, Light Industrial District. <br />The Business-Industrial District is mapped in one, small location along County Road D <br />and occupied by a self-storage building. That site could be rezoned as either the new I-1, <br />Light Industrial District, or one of the residential districts. <br />Please see the attached zoning map for the locations of the existing commercial and the <br />industrial zoning districts. <br />7 - Public and Semi-Public District <br />This district is substantially unchanged from its present wording. It allows public <br />buildings of all kinds and also houses of worship. The latter are also allowed in any <br />residential commercial or industrial zoning district. <br />Some cities do not have a public district but allow these land uses under their residential, <br />commercial or industrial zoning districts. It can be done either way. You can see where <br />this district is located on the attached zoning map. <br />8 - Wetlands District <br />This overlay district was completely rewritten to bring it into conformance with the 1991 <br />Minnesota Wetlands Preservation Act. It is not expected to be used often as the city is <br />nearly fully developed. The locations of the Wetland Overlay District are marked with a <br />W on the attached zoning map. <br />9 - Floodplain Management Overlay District <br />This chapter is completely unchanged from its present wording. <br />10 - Shoreland Overlay District <br />This chapter is completely unchanged from its present wording. <br />11 - Planned-Unit Development Overlay District <br />This chapter is completely unchanged from its present wording. It was rewritten and <br />adopted in 2020. <br />
