ANALYSIS A redlined version of the administrative and definition sections (Sections 1007.000 — 1007.125) has been prepared which eliminates unnecessary language and inconsistencies in the document, better reflects City goals and makes the ordinance easier to read and understand. The majority of the text changes are to add language to maintain consistency in the purpose, process and requirements for each of the different sections. The Planned Unit Development (PUD) section includes the recommendations from the P&Z at the August I Ith meeting (which eliminated PUDs as conditional use permits and required all to be processed as a rezoning) and the redlines shown within the attached document are additional changes made since that meeting. The Environmental Review section (§ 1007.025) is new and outlines the process that the City will use when completing the environmental reviews required by Minnesota Statutes and Minnesota Rules 4410. It is simply intended to notify developers that they are responsible for the City cost to prepare the documents and explains the City review process. This codifies the process that the City has followed in the past. Staff will continue to make refinements as we work through the process. In the full draft expected to be presented to P&Z in March there will likely be more significant formatting changes and additional refinements to the text. Staff will continue to highlight those changes as we move through the process. We have prepared a redlined version of the changes for review. The redlined documents are attached for your review and changes are shown in red for deleting the stricken material and adding the underlined material. Changes are shown in green for material that is moved within the document. SUMMARY The Planning & Zoning Board should review the draft changes recommended by staff and provide direction on any other desired changes. The direction will be incorporated into the full draft that will be presented early next year. Our next meeting to review ordinance revisions is February 101h and we intend to review outdoor storage and the new zoning districts identified in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. RECOMMENDATION Provide direction to staff on the proposed administration and definition revisions. ATTACHMENTS 1. Administration (Section 1007.000 — 1007.125) with Redlines 2.
