CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />DRAFT <br />43 Item 6A — Zoning Ordinance Text and Map Amendment — City Planner Larsen noted <br />44 that staff is asking the council to approve the final passage of this ordinance that has been <br />45 under development and review for nearly two years. A small change from the 1st <br />46 reading will be explained and requested at the council meeting. <br />47 <br />48 Councilmember Ruhland asked about "holding zones" and land pointing to a future land <br />49 use map. Can changes be accomplished without council consideration; staff said no. <br />50 <br />51 Councilmember Lyden asked what the minimum size is to divide a property that is rural. <br />52 Staff said that would be ten acres lot minimum. Councilmember Lyden remarked that <br />53 perhaps a small lot would be appropriate, i.e. 2.5 acres. Planner Larsen explained that <br />54 there is an option for "cluster" development. Community Development Director <br />55 Grochala explained that those areas without public utilities are usually guided for such <br />56 and it would seem not appropriate to have septic installed. Councilmember Lyden <br />57 remarked that a nice 2.5 acre lot is perhaps something that is wanted and that Lino Lakes <br />58 could provide. Mayor Rafferty remarked that this is late in the game for this type of <br />59 discussion. Community Development Director Grochala explained that the suggestion <br />60 is a comprehensive land use discussion rather than a land use discussion. <br />61 <br />62 <br />63 <br />64 <br />65 <br />66 <br />67 <br />68 <br />69 <br />70 <br />71 <br />The meeting was adjourned at 6:25 p.m. <br />These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at the regular Council meeting held on <br />December 12, 2022. <br />Julianne Bartell, City Clerk <br />Rob Rafferty, Mayor <br />K <br />
