<br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br /> <br />To: St. Anthony Village Planning Commission <br />From: Stephen Grittman, City Planner <br />Date: Planning Commission Meeting – October 15, 2019 <br />NAC Project No. 323.02 – 19.05 <br />Request: Request for Zoning Ordinance Amendments related to standards for <br />Walkways, Sidewalks, and Patios <br /> <br />Property Address: NA <br /> <br />Property PID: NA <br /> <br /> <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Planning staff has summarized the discussions on this item from both Planning Commission and <br />City Council workshops. The proposed ordinance represents the focus of those discussions, as <br />the issues arose from recent zoning applications. Planning staff recommends approval of the <br />Ordinance amendment as presented. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Earlier this year, the City encountered an issue that raised concern over the application of <br />zoning ordinance standards to sidewalk and patio requirements. <br />The Planning Commission initially discussed this issue at a Commission workshop meeting in <br />May. Staff then brought the item forward for consideration by the City Council at a subsequent <br />Council workshop, integrating the comments made by the Planning Commission. <br />The formal step for establishing the proposed change requires a public hearing to be held by <br />the Planning Commission, after which the Council can take up the ordinance for adoption. The <br />information below summarizes the materials considered and discussed by the Commission, and <br />as presented to the City Council workshop. The primary issues raised by the Commission were <br />the acceptable width of a private residential walkway, and the applicable setback. <br />
