MEMORANDUM <br />To:St. Anthony Village Planning Commission <br />From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner <br />Date:February 9, 2022 <br />Meeting Date:February 15, 2022 <br />NAC Project No.323.02 – 22.01 <br />This memorandum provides the prior discussion of potential amendment of uses in the City’s <br />Commercial and Industrial zoning districts, and adds a table-form list of proposed amended language for <br />Planning Commission consideration. <br />As before, there are references in the Comprehensive Plan related to this review, and the current <br />districts are vague and, in some cases, archaic in their language. <br />Changes to consider would be to usage and goals for each of the two districts. The purpose of the <br />Zoning Ordinance is to implement the goals of the Comprehensive Plan, but often, it is the Zoning <br />Ordinance that does the “heavy lifting” of purpose and general nature of these districts. <br />The table includes current language and proposed changes in redline. Text that is proposed to carryover <br />from the existing code is referenced in the second column. The third column includes changes to each <br />of the proposed sections. The fourth column provides some commentary explaining the purpose of the <br />changes (or in a few cases, why no change is proposed). <br />At this point, we are not expecting to address the boundaries of these districts. The Comprehensive <br />Plan’s recommendations are to retain the existing zoning pattern, with the primary change being a <br />consideration of integrating more residential development into the commercial zones. <br />In the material below, we have provided the relevant Comprehensive Pan language, and the two zoning <br />districts for review, and the table-form amendments as noted above. <br />The Planning Commission is asked to provide comments and thoughts on the proposals at the upcoming <br />meeting, after which staff will prepare formal ordinances amendments for a public hearing.
