uses be listed under Subdivision 1, as well as the addition of private education facilities. He stated that staff would present a revised ordinance for the Second Reading. Ericson stated that the City has received an application from Calvin Academy to operate a private education facility within Silver View Plaza, located at 2540 Highway 10. He stated that while the intent of the Zoning District does present that this type of use would be permitted, the Code does not specifically allow for it. He stated that, in an effort to eliminate any questions regarding this type of use, staff proposes that it be added to the list of permitted uses, adding that if no action is taken, Calvin Academy would operate and function by virtue of an administrative Code interpretation. Mayor Coughlin closed the Public Hearing at 7:34 p.m. Council Member Marty asked if the applicant, as an educational facility, would be tax-exempt. Ericson stated that this was a lease operation, noting that the owners of Silver View Plaza would pay taxes, regardless of who leased from them. Council Member Stigney stated that, in light of the effort to clean up the Code, the present language may be limiting. He suggested the phrase "private educational or instructional facilities." Ericson agreed that this was the intent of the amendment, and they could utilize this wording to make it more explicit. Council Member Quick asked if this would prohibit the Mounds View Public School District from leasing a space in the district, and utilizing it for instructional purposes. Ericson stated that it would not. Mayor Coughlin suggested the omission of the word "private," and to simply indicate "educational or instructional facilities." City Attorney Long stated that this broader definition of the use would be preferable, so as to prevent a question of interpretation in the future. Mayor Coughlin stated that it was the consensus of the Council to amend the language of the ordinance to indicate "educational or instructional facilities." MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Marty.
