Public Notice
The City Council of the city of Lake Elmo has adopted Ordinance No. 08-152. The ordinance
repeals existing open space development regulations within chapter 150, and adopts new open space
planned unit development regulations in chapter 154. The new regulations are largely based on
the City's long-standing OP development codes, but have been updated to implement lessons
learned from existing OP development over the past twenty years, and to ensure these
developments are meeting the City's expectations. The main changes being implemented include a
revised methodology for the design of open space developments, and implementation of a more
standardized development review process. Additionally, Open Space planned unit developments
will now require the establishment of an overlay district over such areas to organize the unique
regulations governing these neighborhoods. To properly fit these new regulations into the City's
zoning code, this ordinance also implements a number of organizational/numbering changes
throughout Chapter 154. The full text of Ordinance
No. 08-152 is available for inspection at Lake Elmo city hall during regular business hours.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the city council of the city of Lake Elmo that the city
administrator keep a copy of the ordinance in her office at city hall for public inspection and that he
post a full copy of the ordinance in a public place within the city.
Dated: October 4, 2016.
