• <br />• <br />• <br />AGENDA ITEM V C <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser <br />P & Z MEETING DATE: July 13, 2011 <br />DISCUSSION TOPIC: PUBLIC HEARING <br />Amending Section 7 of the Zoning Ordinance <br />(Business Zones) <br />BACKGROUND <br />The new 2030 Comprehensive Plan will establish some new policies for how development will <br />occur in Lino Lakes. The zoning ordinance is an important element in the implementation of the <br />policies in the new Comprehensive Plan. Several requirements in the business zones will need to <br />be amended to implement the new policies. In addition, there are housekeeping and other items <br />that are being addressed at the same time. Amending the zoning ordinance requires a public <br />hearing. <br />The public hearing tonight is on Section 7 of the ordinance. Section 7 regulates the business <br />zoning districts, including: <br />Subd. 1. NB Neighborhood Business <br />Subd. 2. LB Limited Business <br />Subd. 3. GB General Business <br />In addition, staff is proposing a new business district to address several difficulties that have <br />arisen over time in a specified area. <br />The discussion also will include the rezoning of several specified locations, though the rezoning <br />action itself will occur in the future and involve a separate public hearing. <br />OPTIONS <br />1. Recommend approval of amendments to Section 6. <br />2. Continue public hearing and return to staff with direction. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />If the Board completes the discussion, Option 1. If not, Option 2. <br />
