1 <br /> <br />PLANNING & ZONING BOARD <br />AGENDA ITEM 5A <br /> <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala <br />P & Z MEETING DATE: March 13, 2019 <br />REQUEST: Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment Regarding <br />Multiple Principal Buildings on Commercial, Industrial <br />Parcels or Public/Semi-Public Zoning Districts. <br />APPLICANT: City of Lino Lakes <br />REVIEW DEADLINE: Not Applicable – City Initiated <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />Current City ordinance only allows for one principal building per lot. In commercial and <br />industrial zoning districts the size of accessory buildings is limited to 400 square feet. <br />Accordingly any expansion project which requires an additional building in excess of 400 <br />square feet would require approval of a planned unit development. PUD’s may be done <br />by rezoning in Industrial Districts and by either rezoning or Conditional Use Permit in <br />Commercial Districts. For a single use site, approval for multiple buildings may be more <br />appropriately handled through a Conditional Use Permit process. <br />City staff is proposing an ordinance change for the board’s consideration to simplify the <br />process for single use expansion projects. <br /> <br />ANALYSIS <br />City Code defines the follow terms: <br />ACCESSORY BUILDING. A portion of the principal building or a detached <br />structure on the same lot which is used for an accessory use. <br />BUILDING, PRINCIPAL. A building in which is conducted the principal use of <br />the lot on which it is located. <br /> <br />City Code §1007.042 (4)(b) states “except in an approved planned unit development that <br />specifically allows it, provided for in §1007.024 of this Ordinance, not more than (1) <br />principal building shall be located on a lot”.
