MAYOR Michael I. Fahey COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim LaValle Steve Morelan Bob Pedersen 515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 ADMINISTRATOR (651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 -4538 Joel R. Hanson Email: cityhall @ci.little- canada.mn.us To: Mayor & City Council Members From: Elizabeth Mursko, Zoning Administrator Date: January 19, 2000 RE: Open and Outdoor Storage in an 1 -1 Zoning District At the January 13, 2000 Planning Commission Meeting, Mr. Rossow felt that the City Ordinance was vague and requested that the issue be more clearly defined. The Planning Commission suggested that City Staff work with Mr. Rossow to clarify the question of outdoor storage in the Light Industrial zoning district. Staff feels the code needs no further clarification based on the following sections of our zoning code pertaining to this issue. • 901.080 Uses not provided for within zoning districts. Whenever in any zoning district a use is neither specifically permitted or denied, the use shall be considered prohibited. • 902.010 Accessory Building or Use. A subordinate building or use that is located upon the same lot on which a main building or use is situated and which is reasonably necessary and incidental to the conduct of the primary use of such a building or main use. • 301.010 City of Little Canada's Uniform Building Code Adoption. Open and outdoor storage is an accessory use in the "1 -1" zoning district with a Conditional Use Permit per 913.040.a. Mr. Rossow's trailer appears to be used for the storage of materials in lieu of building space which is not permitted in this zoning district, as all structures and buildings constructed in the City of Little Canada must meet Uniform Building Code Standards per Section 106 & 201 of the Uniform Building Code and local city ordinances. Mr. Rossow's trailer is not an accessory use. Therefore, it is specifically prohibited per 901.080. of the zoning ordinance. CC: Lee Rossow, Applicant Page 74A
