Mounds View Planning Commission May 6, 2015 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> Ayes – 6 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />C. Code Amendment for Religious Institutions Language <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller informed the Commission that the City Attorney suggested that the <br />City Code be amended to remove language pertaining to religious institutions. In several areas of <br />the Zoning Code where religious institutions are described as a use, the language also includes <br />“such as churches, chapels, temples and synagogues.” The City Attorney recommends that this <br />list of examples be removed so that the Code isn’t inadvertently excluding a type of religious <br />institution that isn’t on this list. There are also a couple places in the code where only the word <br />“church” is used, so the amendment also includes changing church to religious institution. Staff <br />requested the Commission review the proposed code amendment. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Chair Stevenson/Commissioner Rundle. To approve Resolution No. <br />1026-15, a Resolution Recommending Approval of an Amendment to Title 1000 and 1100 of the <br />Mounds View City Code to Review Language Pertaining to Religious Institutions; Special <br />Planning Case No. 197-15. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 6 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />8.
