PLAN \ING COVIVIISSION <br />MEMO <br />To: Mounds View Planning Commission, <br />From: Rick Jopke, Community Development Director <br />Subject: Ordinance Amendment Concerning Permitted Uses in a B -3 Zoning District <br />Date: May 6, 1998 <br />ISSUE <br />The Community Center site is currently zoned B -3 Highway Business. At present the City's <br />zoning code does not permit a community center as either a permitted use or a conditional use. <br />ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS <br />An ordinance change is necessary prior to the issuance of any occupancy permits for the new <br />community center under renovation/construction on the site of the former Bel Rae Ballroom. The <br />City Attorney's office has reviewed the matter and has provided two alternative ordinance <br />amendments for City consideration. The first alternative is to make a community center a <br />permitted use and the second alternative is to make community centers a conditional use and to <br />set standards for the issuance of conditional use permits. The attorney's draft ordinances also <br />include other similar uses such as public or semi - public recreational buildings, schools, and <br />churches. <br />ACTION REQUIRED <br />Staff would suggest that the Planning Commission discuss this matter at the May 6, 1998 <br />meeting and determine which approach to follow and pass a resolution recommending that the <br />City Council pass the appropriate ordinance. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Planning Commission pass the attached Resolution No.546 -98. <br />N:I DATAIGROUPSICOMDEV IPLANCOMM15 -6 -98.
