Lake Elmo <br />Agenda Section: Planning, Land Use and Zoning <br />No. 9D <br />City Council <br />March 21, 2006 <br />Agenda Item: Zoning Text Amendment — CUP in the AG Zone for Outdoor Social Events <br />Background Information for March 21, 2006: <br />On March 13, 2006 the Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing regarding a proposal to amend <br />the Zoning Ordinance to permit the conducting of "Outdoor Social Events" on properties within the AG <br />zoning district. The consideration of such an amendment was initiated in response to an inquiry by a Lake <br />Elmo property owner regarding the conducting of wedding ceremonies on a 10 acre parcel (containing a <br />vineyard) in the Northeast quadrant of the City. Staff concluded that there was no specific authorization <br />within the Zoning Ordinance for such a use. Staff also recommended making the use somewhat more <br />generic that "Wedding Ceremonies" and considering the amendment to AG as a Conditional Use with a <br />listing -of required conditions. <br />By unanimous vote the Commission recommends amending the Zoning Ordinance to include Outdoor <br />Social Events as a CUP in the AG zone in a manner reflected by the attached draft ordinance. <br />Action items:^-7 <br />Motion to adopt Ordinance #97 — amending Section 300 of the <br />Person s onsible: <br />C <br />q0 <br />City Code (Zoning ordinance) to add "Outdoor Social Events" as a <br />Conditional Use in the AG zoning district. <br />Attachments: IVI <br />Time Allocated: <br />1.
