There are some references in the <br />18 Comprehensive Plan related to this, and the current districts are vague and, in some cases, <br />19 archaic in their language. <br />20 <br />21 Changes to consider would be to usage and goals for each of the two districts. The purpose of <br />22 the Zoning Ordinance is to implement the goals of the Comprehensive Plan, but often, it is the <br />23 Zoning Ordinance that does the “heavy lifting” of purpose and general nature of these <br />24 districts. <br />25 <br />26 Mr. Grittman requested the Commission discuss the uses purpose statements in each of the <br />27 two districts, and whether the City’s desired purpose is adequately defined and/or in need of <br />28 expansion and clarification. Then a discussion of the various uses in each district as to the role <br />29 they might play in reaching the purpose and whether any refinement to the performance <br />30 standards or conditions are required. <br />31 <br />32 At this point the boundaries of these districts will not be addressed. The Comprehensive <br />33 Plan’s recommendations are to retain the existing zoning pattern, with the primary change <br />34 being a consideration of integrating more residential development into the commercial zones. <br />35 The relevant Comprehensive Plan language was included along with the two zoning districts <br />36 for review. <br />37 <br />38 The Comprehensive Plan identifies existing commercial and industrial development in the <br />39 community as consisting of four general areas. These are described in Chapter 4 (Land Use) <br />40 as follows: <br />41 <br />42 Commercial and Industrial Infill and Redevelopment. St. Anthony has four significant <br />43 commercial and industrial nodes: <br />44 The Southwest Area (between Kenzie Terrace and Lowry Avenue) <br />45 Silver Lake Village (north of 37th Avenue and west of Silver Lake Road) <br />46 The industrial park on the southeast side of the City (south of New Brighton Blvd)
