MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION AUGUST 12, 2010 IUP - also created an allowance for local businesses in the I-1 Disll~ict to 38 WEST rent a portion of their outdoor storage space to a Kittle Canada WOOllLYNN business that are not tenants of a property (principle use) by Interim AVENUE - Use Permit. The Planner indicated that R & S Automotive have a R & S number of outdoor storage tenants without an office presence on their AUTOMOTIVE property. R & S would like to be able to rent outdoor storage space to non-Little Canada businesses, and the Pla~mer indicated that this would require an amendment to the Zoning Code noting that current language reads: "the ownee of the storage material owns and operates a business (the "operator") in Little Canada zoned I-1". The Planner indicated that R & S has a Conditional Use Permit allowing outdoor storage for its tenants that also have an office presence on the property. They are seeking the Code Amendment and an IUP to allow them to rent outdoor storage space to non-Little Caizada businesses which will not have an office presence in their building. Lewie Rustad, R & S Automotive, indicated that they would like to rent outdoor storage space to a Little Canada business that is located across the street from them at 53 West Woodlynn Avenue. Duray asked if they have outdoor storage tenants that are not Little Canada businesses. Rustad reported that they allow Vadnais I-Ieights Boy Scouts to store on their property without charging them any rent. Rustad noted that their property is only 1,000 feet away from the City of Roseville, and they are not allowed to rent outdoor storage space to a Koseville business. Rustad reported that their primary renter just moved from their property given the crime rate. Rustad stated that they would like to rent to Ace Moving, which is located in Dave Holm's building at 53 West Woodlynn. Rustad reported that they have rented outdoor storage space to Figg Masonry for the past 30 years, noting that the owner is a Little Canada resident. Duray asked if the outdoor storage renters are Little Canada businesses. Rustad conunented that the restriction to Little Canada businesses did not make sense to him. The Planner indicated that if the R & S outdoor storage tenants are Little Canada businesses, then they ai•e eligible for an IUP under the current code. The Planner indicated that it was his understanding that the applicant was requesting to rent outdoor storage space to non-Little Canada businesses. 'this appears to not be the case based on Mr. Rustad's comments. The Planner stated that regardless, the Planning Commission should make a recommendation on the proposed code amendment which would open these IUP's to non-Little Canada businesses. The Planner also recommended that R & S submit an updated site plan showing exactly how much outdoor storage space they az•e renting and to whom. -3-
