A new single family residential zone has been created: R -EC, Single Family Estate Conservation. This allows for "clustering" in a single family zone, but requires that any space saved by using smaller lots must become open space. (Sec. 2, Subd. 3, p.6- 12) After the public hearing, the zoning ordinance document will be revised as follows: Numerous housekeeping items (typos, clarifications, corrected citations, etc.) The definitions were revised to reconcile with the new subdivision ordinance. The concept plan for a PUD will be voluntary, similar to a concept plan for plats. Outdoor storage requirements will be clarified, including distinction between outdoor sales lots and outdoor storage. Diagrams will be added to illustrate fence height restrictions on residential and commercial properties. Single family lots shall only have one driveway (added on page 3 -63). Existing farms are permitted uses —this will not be deleted (Sec. 3, Subd. 13, page 3- 90) The requirements for cell phone towers will require a two-mile search radius for existing structures rather than just one mile (page 3 -96). • Tree service businesses will be added to the Rural district as a conditional use. • The R -2 district needs a statement that it fits in the Medium Density land use category of 3-6 units per acre. The R -3 and R-4 districts need a statement that any such development must have city sewer and water. Motor fuel stations will be removed from the NB district. We need to examine how to designate two locations for NB. Gas stations in LB and GB, LI and GI districts: bulk propane tanks will be added to allowable elements and lighted fascia on canopies will be allowed. • Tennis domes, golf domes, and the like will be added to GB and LI districts: probably as conditional uses because of height issues. The requirements for conditional use permits and site plan reviews will be revised to include the traffic level of service thresholds to match those approved for the subdivision ordinance (Section 2, Subd. 2.B.7.d, page 2 -6, and Section 2, Subd. 6.D.4., page 2 -30).
