Other Planning Activity <br /> <br />A. Review Definition of “Family” <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson commented on the April edition of the Zoning <br />Practice Newsletter. He explained the newsletter highlights the significant changes that have <br />occurred over the last twenty or so years regarding families and the problems that occur when a <br />city does not keep up with what a definition of family is today. <br /> <br />Director Ericson explained the Mounds View Zoning Code is attempting to stay current with the <br />definition of family based on court cases, legislation, rulings, etc. He commented this is one <br />example of how Cities try to make sure the Zoning Codes fit the community. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that as newsletters come out that impact Mounds View, staff would <br />pass on the information they consider relevant. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller asked about extended families immigrating to the U.S. with as many as 15 <br />extended family members living together in one house. <br /> <br />Director Ericson commented there have been situations where this exists. He commented a <br />rental lease supersedes the code; however, the housing code addresses an overcrowded situation <br />and safety issues by having minimum square footage requirements for sleeping and living space. <br />He stated building inspectors run into situations from time to time that need to be addressed. <br /> <br /> <br />7.
