CHAPTER 6 COMMUNITY FACILITIES 155 <br /> Planned Residential Development <br /> This development procedure allows variation from the normal zoning code requirements <br /> based on approval of a specific, detailed plan. Allowable density can be computed up to <br /> 80% of the lot area per dwelling unit required in the underlying residential zoning <br /> district. <br /> Commercial and Industrial Districts <br /> New Brighton has five commercial and three industrial districts. Commercial districts <br /> include Limited Business (office), Neighborhood Business, General Business, downtown <br /> Business, and an Office development District. Industrial districts include Light <br /> Industrial, Heavy Industrial, and Limited Industrial, a district bordering residential and <br /> open space areas. The.commercial and industrial districts do not allow residential uses, <br /> except mobile home parks are allowed by a special use permit. Performance standards <br /> are specified for commercial and industrial districts. <br /> SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS <br /> New Brighton has had regulations governing land subdivision for several years. Points of <br /> particular note in the regulations are a requirement for conformity of subdivisions with the <br /> Zoning Code and comprehensive plan and a requirement that natural features, such as <br /> woodlands and wetlands be taken into account in subdivision design. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS <br /> The City of New Brighton has a number of specific ordinances which will be used to <br /> implement various aspects of this plan. The major ordinances are discussed below. <br /> Additional implementation measures are discussed in each section of the plan. <br /> Sewer and Septic Tank Regulations <br /> The City's sewer ordinance has a number of provisions among which is a requirement <br /> that any sewer improvement be consistent with the comprehensive sewer plan approved by <br /> the Wastewater Control Commission. The ordinance prohibits any sewer discharge to any <br /> natural outlet. Connection to the municipal sewer system is required when a sewer line is <br /> within 75 feet of the property. This requirement applies to virtually every lot in the City. <br /> All new subdivisions are sewered at the time of construction. <br /> If any of the handful of private systems malfunctions, correction is enforced under the <br /> City's nuisance ordinance. Connection to the City sewer system or reconstruction <br /> according to Minnesota Department of Health standards is required. The City will adopt <br /> Minnesota Department of Health Regulation WPC-40 to govern septic systems. <br />
