MOUNDS VIEW <br />of Mounds View Staff <br />Item No: 7C <br />Meeting Date: May 6 2015 <br />Type of Business: Other Planning Activity <br />To: Planning Commission <br />From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate <br />Item Title/Subject: Discuss Proposed Code Amendment for Language about <br />Religious Institutions <br />The City Attorney suggested that the City Code be amended to remove language pertaining to <br />religious institutions. In several areas of the Zoning Code where religious institutions are <br />described as a use, the language also includes "such as churches, chapels, temples and <br />synagogues." The City Attorney recommends that this list of examples be removed so that the <br />Code isn't inadvertently excluding a type of religious institution that isn't on this list. There are <br />also a couple places in the code where only the word "church" is used, so the amendment also <br />includes changing church to religious institution. <br />Recommendation <br />Review Resolution 1026-15, amending the City Code to be more general when describing <br />religious institutions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Heidi Heller, Planning Associate <br />Attachments: <br />1. Resolution 1026-15 <br />
