These were initiated by <br />99 the Planning and Zoning Board. The matter of community gardens is also being brought <br />100 forward; the Environmental Board is looking at setting up a community garden in the <br />101 city. The roadside stands would fall under the terms of a transient merchant permit and <br />102 the farmers market under the special event permit system. Community gardens would be <br />103 allowed in all zoning districts, however, the must be located on public land; the <br />104 Environmental Board will be working on rules and management issues for the gardens. <br />105 The site that is under consideration now is the city land adjacent to the American Legion. <br />106 Regarding open air markets, operation will be tied to an administrative permit (special <br />107 event permit), allowed in all zoning districts. Regarding transient merchant use, the <br />108 definition in the code is being pulled into the zoning ordinance to allow certain activities <br />109 such as roadside markets. <br />110 <br />111 Item 6B, First Reading of Ordinance No. 03 -11, amending the zoning ordinance <br />112 requirements regarding Motor Vehicle Sales Lots — City Planner Bengtson explained <br />113 that staff wants to tighten up the definition and requirements in the zoning code that relate <br />114 to motor vehicle sales. Parking requirements would be updated also. The changes are <br />115 unanimously recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board. <br />116 <br />117 Item 6C, First Reading of Ordinance Number 04 -11, Amending the zoning <br />118 ordinance requirements regarding Home Occupations — City Planner Bengtson <br />119 reported that the ordinance would be updated to further designate the types of activities <br />120 allowed under the different levels designed in the regulations. It opens up some <br />121 opportunity for additional retail activities while maintaining appropriate regulation. The <br />122 Planning and Zoning Board concurs with the changes. <br />123 <br />124 The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m. <br />125 <br />126 These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at the regular Council meeting held on <br />127 January 24, 2011. <br />128 <br />129 <br />130 <br />131 Julianne Bartell, City Clerk Jeff Reinert, Mayor <br />3 <br />—34— <br />
