• • • Outdoor sales Tots are distinguished from outdoor storage (pp 7 -43, 8 -14, 8- 36). • Mini - storage facilities will not be allowed in the LI district (p 8 -6), only in the GI. • Rural cluster deleted from R -BR zone, since it's intended for future industrial development (p 9 -11). • Billboards (advertising signs) removed as interim use from R -BR (p 9 -14). OUTSTANDING ISSUES 1. Should tree service businesses be allowed in the Rural zoning district as a conditional use? The ordinance as it is written allows contractor shops and offices, without outdoor storage of equipment or materials, as conditional uses in the GB district (p 3 -36). The ordinance allows them in the LI and GI districts (pp 8 -3 and 8 -20) as permitted uses without outdoor storage of equipment or materials: such outdoor storage would require a CUP (pp 8 -14, 8 -36). Therefore, a tree service, landscaping, or other similar use is provided for in the new ordinance: in the industrial zones. The City of Hugo allows contractor yards in industrial zones and in a commercial zone that is for land without city sewer and water. Outdoor storage requires a CUP in commercial and industrial zones. Staff is currently surveying additional cities with regard to their requirements and will present this information to the council. 2. The council requested further discussion on Motor Vehicle Parking in Residential and Rural Zoning Districts (Page 3 -73). CLARIFICATIONS 1. Domes: There was a question about whether or not to allow tennis domes, golf domes, and the like. Such uses should be considered a recreational business, a commercial use. Recreational businesses are allowed in the GB and LI districts. A dome would need a conditional use permit because of the height, as regulated by Sec. 3, Subd. 4.C. on pages 3 -16 to 3 -17. In addition to those requirements, the standard CUP requirements would apply (p 3 -6). Staff has spoken with the community development director in White Bear Lake about the tennis dome there. Some people didn't like to see the glowing dome at night. However, it did not cast light on other properties and there were no noise or traffic issues. The issue of whether or not it needed a sprinkler system was difficult. This is a building code issue to be determined by the building officials and fire chief.
