Mounds View Planning Commission June 16, 2021 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />5. Planning Cases <br /> <br />A. Resolution 1134-21, Recommending Approval of Ordinance 976, Adopting <br />the Recodification of the Mounds View Municipal Code and Updating the <br />City’s 2021 Fee Schedule <br /> <br />Community Development Director Sevald stated currently, the City Code is in PDF form (1,037 <br />pages), plus 68 addendums. The addendums make it difficult for Staff, and nearly impossible for <br />the general public to find current language unless they know where to look. For example, the <br />current Rental Ordinance is not in the City Code, but in Ordinance 971 (addendum), which the <br />general public would not know without searching through the 68 addendums. The new version is <br />internet based, with an easily searchable format, and ability to print or save as a PDF. Code <br />amendments will be updated more regularly. The City Attorney has provided a summary of <br />proposed amendments. Specific to zoning, the current Code references outdated Minnesota <br />Statutes. This amendment updates the Code to current Statute numbers. Staff recommended the <br />Planning Commission review and recommend approval of the codification of the Mounds View <br />City Code. <br /> <br />Commissioner Monn requested clarification on several terms within the code. Community <br />Development Director Sevald offered the Planning Commission definitions to the terms within <br />the code. <br /> <br />Commissioner Monn questioned what information City staff had regarding the food truck <br />ordinance. Community Development Director Sevald reported the City Council was revising this <br />ordinance in order to allow food trucks to have more flexibility in the community. <br /> <br />Commissioner Monn requested staff review the peddler’s language because at this time it states <br />they are not required to have a license. The Commission discussed the various categories of <br />door to door peddlers and solicitors. Community Development Director Sevald explained he <br />would look into this language further. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Stevenson/Commissioner Munson. To approve Resolution <br />1034-21, a Resolution Recommending Approval of Ordinance 976, an Ordinance Adopting the <br />Recodification of the Mounds View Municipal Code and Updating the City’s 2021 Fee <br />Schedule. <br /> <br />A roll call vote was taken. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 6 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br /> <br /> B.
