<br /> <br />Item No: 7H <br />Meeting Date: May 11, 2015 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />Administrator Review: _______ <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate <br />Item Title/Subject: Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 900, Amending City <br />Code Titles 1000 and 1100 of the Mounds View Zoning Code to <br />Remove Language Pertaining to Religious Institutions <br /> <br /> <br /> <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 /> <br />The Planning Commission reviewed this code amendment on May 6, 2015, and approved <br />Resolution 1026-15, recommending approval of removing the language listing types of religious <br />institutions. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends the Council review Ordinance 900, amending City Code Titles 1000 and <br />1100, removing language pertaining to religious institutions. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Heidi Heller, Planning Associate <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
