Business Licensing / Certificates of Occupancy / Non - Conforming Uses & Sites Mr. Bengtson tinted the staff report regarding the licensing of businesses in the city. Board Member comments included the following: • If the City requires a license for one type of business, such as massage therapy, than other related business types should be licensed as well (such as acupuncture, homeopathy, etc.). Where would the city draw the line? It would be difficult to limit licensing to specific business types. DRAFT MINUTES • • • Planning & Zoning Board December 14, 2011 Page 3 • The City is already considered to be unfriendly to businesses and this could make the City seem even more unfriendly to new business. • Requiring a Certificate of Occupancy for all new businesses could be a positive consideration, especially to ensure health & safety standards. It would also provide an opportunity for the city to check out a new business. • Licensing all types of business seems too intense, as the City has a hard enough time enforcing signage and other ordinances. • A Certificate of Occupancy is issued with a remodel and most new businesses include a remodel. • Requiring a Certificate of Occupancy wo i 'befar less intrusive for a business than issuance of a license. How would a business know that a license is required and why should a business have to pay a fee to locate in the city'? l usiness owners are aware of a Certificate of Occupancy, ✓op "` • Could the city consider requiring that a business1be registered with the city rather than issued a license? This would be one way for 'e city to maintain a list of active businesses without charging a fee. • Overall, not interested in implementing another license that would be hard to control and etifilrce There would need to be sufficient staff to make enforcement possible. B. 2012 Meeting Dates Mr. Bengtson confirmed the Planning Zoning Board meeting dates for the 2012 calendar year. VII: ° ADJOURNMENT Mr. Hyden made a MOTION to adjourn the meeting at 7:15 p.m. Motion was supported by Mr. Laden. Motion carried 5 - 0. Respectfully submitted, Dawn Bugge Community Development Assistant DRAFT MINUTES • PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD AGENDA ITEM 5A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul Bengtson MEETING DATE: January 11, 2012 TOPIC: Amendment to the Town Center Planned Unit Development to add certain office uses to the civic district VOTE REQUIRED: MAJORITY INTRODUCTION The Early Childhood Family Education program will be moving out of the City Hall complex, resulting in an open tenant space. Staff has been working to develop opportunities for potential tenants and the City Council has voted to engage a broker to continue the search. Staff has initiated this amendment to maximize the market potential for the tenant space. BACKGROUND The City Hall Complex is located within the boundaries of the Lino Lakes Town Center which was established as part of a Planned Unit Development (PUD), and therefore the Town Center Design & Development Guide regulates the uses that would be allowed within the complex. The site is designated as Civic (only City Hall and the YMCA properties are designated as Civic), and the Civic district includes the following permanent uses as permitted uses: • Health clubs and gymnasiums • Indoor recreation facilities • Outdoor recreation facilities • Concession stands (not exceeding 500 square feet) • Community - serving centers, including daycare and senior, recreation & teen centers • Cultural facilities including auditoriums, libraries and art galleries • Semipublic facilities (religious institutions, social service organizations, etc.) • University, college, and professional schools (except truck driving schools) While the semipublic facilities allowance would open up occupancy of the tenant space for other government or quasi - government offices, staff is proposing to allow other office uses in the civic district by expanding the following two uses (already included in the guide) to be permitted in the civic district: • Professional services including medical & health offices & clinics, engineering & design services, legal and counseling services, but excluding laboratories, hospitals, sanitariums and rest homes. • Finance, insurance & real estate services, including security & commodity brokers & dealers, insurance & real estate agents, and brokers; not including banks, savings & loans, & credit services. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the amendment to the Town Center Design & Development Guide. • • PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD AGENDA ITEM 6A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul Bengtson MEETING DATE: January 11, 2012 TOPIC: 2011 P &Z Board Action Summary VOTE REQUIRED: No Action Required INTRODUCTION Attached is a summary of the actions taken by the Planning and Zoning Board in the year 2011.
