NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS, INC. <br />4800 Olson Memorial Highway, Suite 202, Golden Valley, MN 55422 <br />Telephone: 763.221 .2555 Facsimile: 763. 231,2561 planners @nacplanning.com <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Biesener and Little Canada City Council <br />FROM: Stephen Grittman <br />DATE: January 17, 2014 <br />RE: Little Canada — Auto Sales Lots <br />FILE NO: 758.10 — 14.02 <br />In reviewing the changes made to the City's regulation of automobile sales, two <br />additional observations were made by staff that were not incorporated into the original <br />ordinance amendment adoption previously. <br />First, the number of outdoor auto sales licenses in the City is currently limited by <br />ordinance to a maximum of 4 such licenses, 2 of which may be in the B -2 zoning <br />district. Currently, there are only 3 licenses that are active. If desired, the Council may <br />wish to consider reducing the number of allowable licenses to 3 to correspond with the <br />current usage, and without impacting and existing permits. <br />The second item relates to a number references in the code that include the B -3 District <br />as a potential location for motor vehicle sales. Those references are obsolete since the <br />B -3 District has been limited to non - auto - related uses. This would be an appropriate <br />time to delete those references. <br />Staff would recommend calling for a public hearing at the Council's February 26th <br />meeting to consider these amendments. <br />pc: Kathy Glanzer <br />Steve Westerhaus <br />Lee Elfering <br />
