LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 19, 1994 Council member Johnson pointed out that the Limited Business Ordinance is designated along 1-94 and not along Highway 5. Attorney Filla explained the comp plan text, page 28, commercial property goals and policies includes section on Limited Business. A new Limited Business District is being considered to control commercial development in the proposed 1-94 commercial strip outside the MUSA. Filla's opinion is that if the Council wants to proceed with addition of this comp. plan amendment, it should also amend the text of the comp plan. Before someone makes an application to rezone property consistent with the comp plan, you should also amend the text of the zoning code. The notice of the hearing dealt with the future land use map portions of the comp plan as opposed to the section of the text. He would have to review the public hearing notice to see if it was broad enough. M/S/P Mottaz/John - to table motion for city attorney to research and come up with a recommendation.
