ORDINANCES 902, 9032 904 & 905 AMENDING THE CITY CODE AND ZONING CODE FOR CANNABIS BUSINESS ZONING AND REGULATIONS The Community Development Director provided background information on the legalization of adult - use cannabis in Minnesota and provided a regulatory framework for the cannabis industry. He provided updated information on the anticipated licensing timeline from the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM). He explained the items the City is able to regulate and reviewed information on the proposed number of registrations and buffers as well as zoning districts and interim use. He reviewed the proposed application and review process and provided a summary of the proposed ordinance. He stated that the recommendation from staff and the Planning Commission is to adopt all four ordinances and summary publication of those ordinances. Mayor Fischer commented that the City's position has been to start slowly, noting that there would be a potential to expand in the future. He acknowledged that this would seem contingent upon the Council also approving the Interim Use Permit later on the agenda. Gutierrez acknowledged that there are daycare and residential treatment facilities that can be located on single-family homes and wanted to ensure that proper buffers would be in place. She asked if those MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 18, 2024 uses should be removed until the actual locations are known. The Community Development Director explained that those uses are licensed through the State and if they are not State -licensed they would not fall within the buffer requirements. He noted that the Council could choose to remove those uses if desired. Mayor Fischer commented that it would seem there is a distinction between a commercial daycare provider and someone providing daycare service within their home. The Community Development Director replied that even someone providing daycare within their home should be licensed with the State, although perhaps not all those operating a daycare from their home choose to obtain the proper licensing. Gutierrez stated that those locations were not all included on the map previously reviewed by the Council and she would not want to restrict some of the locations where a business could be located. D. Miller asked if the same buffer restrictions exist for tobacco and alcohol sales in terms of daycares and residential treatment facilities. The City Clerk did not believe those same buffers existed for those two uses. K.wapick commented that there is no guarantee that someone who receives a license will want to locate in Little Canada. The Community Development Director explained that in terms of the buffers, a new daycare could still choose to be located within the buffer area from an existing cannabis business. He stated that the use would simply become nonconforming. Gutierrez commented that it is very lucrative for a community to collect taxes from a cannabis business and therefore did not want the city to be unattractive to a potential business. The City Clerk reviewed the buffer requirements for alcohol and tobacco and confirmed that there were no buffer requirements from daycares or residential treatment facilities. Mayor Fischer opened the public hearing for comments from the general public. Angie Malone, 3282 Hamel Court, asked and received confirmation that the City must be open to an application. She commented that it would seem logical to mirror the buffer requirements to alcohol and tobacco uses. She commented that this is a new frontier they are embarking upon and wanted to see the buffers from the schools and parks. John DeRosa, Little Canada Smoke Shop owner, stated that he has registered for the OCM lottery for cannabis licenses. He noted the time necessary for plants to grow once a business receives the proper approval, which will further delay the end product. He stated that he has successfully operated a business that sells to people over 21, as well as the allowed cannabis products that have already been legalized in prior legislation. He believed that this is a good endeavor for the industry, noting the funds that will be generated for the community. He did not want to see businesses pushed to dark corners and wanted them to be in visible areas. 11 MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 18, 2024 There were no further comments from the public. Upon motion by D. Miller, seconded by Kwapick, the public hearing was closed. Ayes (4). Nays (0). Motion adopted. Mayor Fischer welcomed input on whether daycare and residential treatment buffers should be included or excluded. D. Miller commented that he would support excluding those uses from the buffer requirement to better match alcohol and tobacco sales. Kwapick asked if Ordinance 902 should be tabled to allow staff to bring back additional information on where the State -licensed facilities are located. Mayor Fischer asked if that would cause an issue. The Community Development Director commented that the ordinance could be adopted as it would not be effective in essence until an application is received. He stated that he can bring back additional information in January. Gutierrez stated that they could also specify commercial daycares versus in - home daycares. The Community Development Director confirmed that they could add language to specify that the buffer would only apply to daycares and residential treatment facilities within commercial districts. He stated that the ordinance could be adopted with that additional language or Ordinance 902 could be tabled to January. Gutierrez commented that there are other cities adopting no buffer from those uses. She asked the distance from Happy Trees to the school. The City Clerk stated that business is closing at the end of December. Mayor Fischer commented that is a special -use school that chose to move into an industrial area. He recommended postponing action on Ordinance 902. The City Clerk stated there was only one or maybe two commercial daycares in the city. Kwapick stated that he would agree to match the buffers for alcohol and tobacco. The Community Development Director noted that the buffer is mentioned in Ordinance 902 and 905 and therefore recommended that action be postponed on all items until January. D. Miller introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOL UTION NO. 2024-12-147 — TABLING CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCES 902, 903, 904, AND 905 TO JANUARY The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Kwapick. Ayes (4). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. ORDINANCE 906 AMENDING ZONING CODE CHAPTER 917 TO ADD INTERIM USE PERMITS The Community Development Director provided background information on interim and conditional uses. He presented information on the proposal for Interim Use Permits (IUP) and how an IUP could be used specifically for cannabis businesses. He also provided details on another minor edit proposed related to the timing requirement for submitted applications prior to a Planning Commission meeting date. Staff recommends approval of the ordinance and summary publication. Mayor Fischer opened the public hearing for comments from the general public. 5 MINUTES CITY COUNCIL, DECEMBER 18, 2024 There were no comments from the public. Upon motion by D. Miller, seconded by Gutierrez, the public hearing was closed. Ayes (4). Nays (0). Motion adopted. Mayor Fischer asked what would happen at the five-year period. The Community Development Director commented that a business could reapply, but noted that a cannabis business IUP time period would be tied to the license for that business rather than a specific time period. Kwapick introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOL UTION NO. 2024-12-148 — ADOPTING ORDINANCE 906 TO ALLOW THE APPLICATIONAND REVIEW OF INTERIM USE PERMITS AND APPROVING A S UMMA R Y P UBLICA TION OF THE ORDINANCE The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by D.

Ayes (4). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. STAFF REPORTS MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 18, 2024 The City Clerk explained that cannabinoid products have been legal for a few years and provided additional background information. She stated that these are the first licenses for this type of product, which will run on an annual basis. She reviewed the five businesses that have applied, noting the retail business Gotta Go Gotta Throw is the only new business and therefore is required to complete a background check and fire inspection as the other businesses completed that as part of their other tobacco or alcohol licensing process. She noted that the new applicant did pass their fire inspection today. Mayor Fischer recognized that these businesses have been selling these products without a license and asked if there was any pushback from the businesses about the new licensing required. The City Clerk replied that all businesses readily agreed to submit a license application. She noted that Happy Tree is moving out of Little Canada at the end of December. Kwapick introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOL UTION NO. 2024-12-1 SO — APPROVING THE CANNABINOID PROD UCT LICENSES AS REQUESTED, SUBJEC TTO RECEIVING ALL APPLICATION MATERIALS AND FEES AND SATISFACTORY BACKGROUND CHECK OF THE NEW APPLICANT, GOTTA GO GOTTA THROW The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by D. Miller. Ayes (4). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. CONTRACTS FOR ORGANIZED TRASH AND RECYCLING COLLECTION SERVICES The City Administrator provided background information on the subcommittee recommendation to use one hauler for trash collection and one hauler for recycling services. He stated that City staff have been working on the contracts with those haulers which have been included in the packet and they are set to move forward with a January 1, 2025 start date. He noted that the disposal fees would be pulled out of the bid and paid directly to the tipping facility. D. Miller commented that as a member of the subcommittee, staff did a great job putting the numbers together and agreed with the method of the City paying those fees directly as that helped to identify the most cost-efficient proposals. Kwapick also thanked staff for all the work they did on this. He stated that the subcommittee wanted to ensure that this would not have a large impact on the residents, maintaining the same collection day. He stated that the subcommittee also reviewed the feasibility of weekly recycling collection and while that was not feasible, a resident can request an additional recycling cart if that is needed. He stated that the number of bulk items allowed has been reduced from three to one. D. Miller acknowledged that the customer service would now be provided directly by the hauler rather than passing through City staff, which will be helpful for reducing the burden on staff as well as making customer service more efficient for residents. Mayor Fischer commented that the City has had organized collection for some time and recognized that this would be a change from three haulers to one hauler for trash and one for recycling. He agreed that it is helpful to remove City staff from being 7 MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 18, 2024 in the middle of phone calls from residents as well. He referenced the five-year contract length and asked if there is a renewal option. The City Administrator replied that there would be two two-year options for renewal. D. Miller commented that the current haulers were providing great service, the city was just looking at cost and consistency. The City Administrator stated that information will be shared in the upcoming newsletter on this change and the fee schedule will be on the agenda for the next meeting, which will include the updated rates, if approved tonight.

LITTLE CANADA ROAD PROJECT UPDATE The City Engineer provided background information on the feedback received during the preliminary project rollout and the Council directive to find a less impactive project scope that still delivered the project needs. He reviewed the viable alternative that has been identified. Mayor Fischer asked if MnDOT has authorized this new exit ramp plan. The City Engineer confirmed that MnDOT has been involved in the discussions and is on board. He reviewed the path forward and identified the plan for the upcoming broader public engagement. D. Miller commented that crossing this area would still not be ideal for pedestrians and asked if there are thoughts of how a pedestrian bridge over I-3 5 could fit into this design. He asked how this would compare to the previous plan in terms of the budget. The City Engineer replied that the sidewalk and trails are still included with the project. He stated that they intend to provide safe pedestrian crossings with some enhanced crosswalks. He stated that they have not yet incorporated the pedestrian bridge concept into the proposed layout but noted that perhaps that would be adjacent to the existing bridge and offset. He stated that they have not yet run hard numbers but believed that this alternative would be less than the original project estimate. MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 18, 2024 Kwapick thanked staff for working through this to find an alternative as.there was a lot of negative feedback on the original plan, although they did understand why it was needed. He was happy that they were able to use that feedback from the public to develop this design. He believed that this design would improve the intersection while impacting the local community less. Gutierrez agreed that this seems to be a much better design and believed that property owners would appreciate this D. Miller appreciated the extra work of staff to get to this point. Mayor Fischer acknowledged the public pushback on the original design and stated that this is an example of how the system works and input of residents is appreciated during these processes. He thanked staff for their hard work. ACCEPT FEASIBILITY REPORT AND CALL FOR AN IMPROVEMENT HEARING FOR COUNTY ROAD D IMPROVEMENT PROJECT The City Engineer provided background information on the proposed County Road D improvement project including details on the proposed improvements, estimated costs and financing, special assessments, and anticipated project timeline. Kwapick noticed that 942 County Road D would be assessed for this project as well as the Stoneridge Court project. The City Engineer explained that it is not often that there are separate projects impacting a property on both sides in one year and noted there are also two corner properties on Maple Leaf Court that will receive assessments from both street projects. He explained that the assessments for the corner lots on this project are around $1,000 or less, explaining the assessment formula for corner lots. Kwapick asked the Council and staff to keep that in mind as this is a unique situation in which there would be two road projects that could impact corner lots in one year. D. Miller asked about access during construction. The City Engineer noted that there would be access to these subdivisions throughout this process, although there may be times of delay. He noted that the other road project just discussed is not a full reconstruction and therefore vehicles will be able to drive on the road. He also provided details on the phasing of bids, in hopes that the same contractor may choose to try to pick up the second project as well. He stated that while this project is proposed to be assessed on a per -foot basis, the Council could also choose to consider a per -unit basis. The City Administrator commented that there is a perception of fairness or unfairness from certain property owners with whichever method is chosen. D. Miller introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOL UTION NO. 2024-12-153 — RECEIVING THE FEASIBILITY REPORT AND CALLING FOR AN IMPROVEMENT HEARING FOR COUNTYROAD D IMPROVEMENTS The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Kwapick.

Kwapick stated that the interview panel was impressed with all five candidates, and it was difficult to only choose two. He commented on the value that Commissioners Kulousek and Masrud have brought to the Commission and the panel believed that those members should continue to serve, while keeping the three additional applicants on file should a position open.

RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR A SIDEWALK ON SOUTH SIDE OF COUNTY ROAD C The Public Works Director provided background information on the Ramsey County project for County Road C which would include refurbishment of the trail on the north side.

He reviewed the locations where installation would occur and asked for support from the Council on this project. D. Miller commented that this would seem to enhance security for staff as well. He asked if residents renting a facility would then receive a key code on their rented date, rather than receiving a hard key as they currently would.
