Consideration 4111 of Draft The Planning Commission reviewed proposed changes to Ordinance the zoning code, specifically the B-2, B-3 and B-4 Amending districts . City Planner Herman will check through Chapter 40 the ordinances to see what was allowed under conditional Mounds View Planning Commission January 4, 1989 Regular Meeting Page Two 410 use permits to make sure it does not conflict with what is allowed in the zoning code now. There was discussion concerning the difficulties of including everything in this menu. This is an approach that has been taken by most cities in their zoning codes. Dennis Deisner, of Kraus Anderson Realty, intro- duced himself, along with Bob Minks and Charlie Grovell . He explained they have been before the Planning Commission and City Council many times for tenants in the Silver View Plaza shopping center due to the zoning restrictions that are in place, and they have lost tenants due to the time constraints involved in seeking a conditional use permit or rezoning, so they have requested the entire center be rezoned to B-3, which would eliminate the majority of times they would have to come before the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed changes by district and drafted proposed Resolution No. 243-89, recommending denial of the rezoning request by the applicant, Kraus Anderson, for Silver View Plaza from B-2 to B-3. • It was then noted the applicant has requested to with- draw the rezoning request in light of the intent to expand the B-2 zoning menu. Motion/Second: Saunders/Zollner to forward the draft Ordinance No. 452, amending the municipal code of Mounds View by amending Chapter 40 entitled "Zoning" . 6 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried City Planner Herman explained the applicant has stated 7.

He also noted how many people do minor Conditional Use repairs at a gas station or hardware store, rather in a B-2 then waiting until they get home. District Chairman Mountin asked that everyone remember the intent of the B-2 district. • Commissioner Dian stated she still had a problem with a motorcycle shop being in a B-2 zone at all . Mounds View Planning Commission January 4, 1989 Regular Meeting Page Three 0 City Planner Herman pointed out the difference in scale of items discussed, such as a motorcycle versus a car, in that zoning. At the request of the applicant, after considerable discussion, the proposed ordinance was changed to read that there would be no mechanical repairs or bodywork done on the premises. Motion/Second: Saunders/Miller to forward the draft ordinance amending the municipal code of Mounds View by amending Chapter 40 entitled "Zoning" to the City Council . 4 ayes 2 nays Motion Carried Commissioner Dian and Chairman Mountin voted against the motion. Commissiner Dian explained she felt the proper zoning was B-3 rather than B-2, and she pointed out this does not carry through with the intention of a main street for Mounds View. Chairman Mountin drew a parallel between motorcycles and other motor vehicles and stated she feels they belong in B-3, which is a more intense use. • City Planner Herman explained the reason the proposed 8. Consideration ordinance had been drafted, stating that grandfather- of Draft Ordi- ing by ordinance was the only legal way to allow the nance Amending renting of a dwelling unit within a single family home Chapter 40 in an R-1 district. Regarding Rent- ing of a Chairman Mountin pointed out they are writing an amend- Dwelling Unit ment for one person. Within a Single Family Home in City Planner Herman stated most people will rent out a an R-1 District dwelling unit in their homes regardless of the ordinance being approved or not. Commissioner Alman stated this would be undermining the law for the convenience of home owners, which she did not favor. Chairman Mountin noted through this ordinance the City implies to renters that they are underwriting the safety of that unit, because it has been inspected. She explained problems occur if they are not known of and inspected. Commissioner Alman pointed out the owner of a home in an R-1 district who rents out space is also getting IDaway without paying appropriate property taxes. City Planner Herman explained that presently enforcement is done by complaint. Mounds View Planning Commission January 4, 1989 Regular Meeting Page Four 411 Chairman Mountin stated R-2 should exist on the peri- phery of R-1, not in the middle of it, and allowing this can open up all kinds of problems . Motion/Second: Mountin/Alman to forward the draft ordinance amending the municipal code of Mounds View by amending Chapter 40 entitled "Zoning", concerning the renting of a dwelling unit physically within a single family home, in an R-1 district. 0 ayes 6 nays Motion Failed All members of the Planning Commission voted against forwarding of the draft ordinance. Commissioner Zollner stated she had voted against doing so as the amendment is not consistent with the intent of the R-1 district. The rest of the Commissioners concurred with her statement. Motion/Second: Zollner/Dian to approve Resolution No. 9. Consideration 242-89 as corrected, establishing meeting and timeline of Resolution submission dates for 1989. No. 242-89 6 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried City Planner Herman reported that SYSCO had been in 10. Staff Report earlier in the day and they should be before the Plan- ning Commission again in two weeks. City Planner Herman reported she had received a letter from Public Storage requesting a refund of the fees they had paid. She explained that would be approved at a Council level, and appropriate expenses taken out before the refund is issued. City Planner Herman updated the Planning Commission on the progress of the comprehensive plan update and discussions with the Council . She advised the Council is upset about the written format of the plan pre- sented by the consultant. The Planning Commission also expressed frustration with not having a legible copy to work with, which makes it very difficult to interpret. This is the third draft the consultant has done, and it is not satisfactory yet. Chairman Mountin stated she would like to have some Saturday meetings to work on the zoning issues and comprehensive plan, to get things finished up. Dates 0 will be established at a later time.
