STAFF REPORT <br /> To: Chair and Planning Commissioners <br /> From: Kim Moore-Sykes, Assistant City Manager <br /> Date: June 21,2011 <br /> Subject: Amending Zoning Ordinance 152.142 Light Industrial District Permitted Conditional Uses <br /> Background. At the May 2,2011 and May 31,2011 City Council work sessions,Staff reported on the need <br /> to amend the City's Zoning Ordinance 152.142,Light Industrial District Permitted Conditional Uses,to <br /> return language to the Zoning Code that had been mistakenly omitted from the City Code by the publisher. <br /> Staff noticed the language omission when an applicant requested a meeting to discuss the possibility of <br /> having an assembly place at 2828 Anthony Lane South. <br /> This language had be approved by the City Council prior to the City's Code of Ordinances being recodified <br /> in 2009 and allowed,with a conditional use permit,assembly places,meeting lodges,or convention halls in <br /> the Industrial Zoning District. In addition,catering operations,delicatessens,and cafeterias were included <br /> as allowed as conditional uses. <br /> While discussing the omitted ordinance language,Council also asked Staff to research subsection (g) of the <br /> same Section,regarding caretaker units for mini-warehouse facilities. They questioned the need for this <br /> subsection. Staff found that the cities of Columbia Heights,Fridley and Roseville still allow caretaker units, <br /> in addition to surveillance cameras. The caretaker unit for the mini-warehouse storage facility in St. <br /> Anthony appears to be used largely for storage;no one appears to be living there. <br /> Since there appears to be no need for caretaker units any longer,Council is proposing the following <br /> revisions to§152.142,Permitted Conditional Uses,including striking the caretaker language at§152.142 (g) <br /> and to re-sequencing 152.142 in the following manner: <br /> {$} , <br /> bui4ding or-bui4dings designed and intended for- use by th&ee R-F me-fe _Aiffer-ent tenants <br /> (h)(g) Assembly,meeting lodge,or convention halls. <br /> (i) (h) Catering operations and in-house cafeterias not intended for retail or public use and <br /> d„Beat <br /> (}} (i) Day-care Center without drive-through facilities. <br /> Attachments. <br /> • Revised Ordinance 2011-002 <br /> FAPlanning\Staff Reports\201 1\0621201 1 Industrial Zone assembly ordinance amendment stf rpt.doc0621201 I Industrial Zone assembly <br /> ordinance amendment stf rpt.doc <br />
