Planning staff requested information on outdoor storage from surrounding communities including Maplewood, Shoreview, Roseville, Vadnais Heights, Arden Hills and White Bear Lake to provide context for the City's current regulations. For many, complete answers are not yet available — we have summarized the combination of personal contacts and ordinance research in the following table. We hope to have a more complete review available prior to the City Council meeting: The survey shows that some of the Cities do not allow outdoor storage, although a majority allow it by Conditional Use Permit only. Maplewood appears to insert requirements as a part of their Conditional Use Permit review, although few of the ordinances appear to have a comprehensive set of restrictions for their Conditional Use Permit requirements. As noted, we hope to have more complete information prior to the City Council meeting on May 25.
