Public Notice
The City Council of the City of Lake Elmo has adopted Ordinance No. 08-241, Ordinance No. 08-
242, Ordinance No. 08-243, Ordinance No. 08-244, and Ordinance No. 08-245, which amends the

following is a summary of the adopted ordinance language:

• Clarifies the type of permit that will be required for a property improvement that does not
require a building permit.
Ordinance 08-242 (City Code Section 154.400)
• The ordinance amends the definition of the Rural Single Family (RS) Zoning District within
the Zoning Code so that it will align with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. This means lots
platted after 2005 are not allow to be zoned/re-zoned to RS.
Ordinance 08-243 (City Code Sections 154.401, 154.451, 154.501, and 154.510)

this maximum lot size requirement.
Ordinance 08-245

Code and being replaced with Religious Institutions, where applicable.
