MEMORANDUM To:Mayor Webster and St. Anthony Village City Council From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner Date:City Council Meeting – March 12, 2024 GC Project No.140.00 Request:General Code Amendments Property Address: NA Property PID:NA PROJECT DESCRIPTION The attached ordinance presents a series of proposed code amendments for the City Council’s first reading. These have been generated primarily through a review of the existing City Code in preparation for the upcoming recodification through American Legal. Most of these are believed to be clerical, but some policy issues are raised. The code sections are summarized briefly below to assist in the Council’s discussion and review. CITY COUNCIL ACTION This is the first of three readings of the proposed ordinance. The Council is asked to comment on any elements of the language, and move the ordinance to its second reading. PRIOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION The Planning Commission considered the proposed elements of the Ordinance at a public hearing during its regular meeting on February 20, 2024. The Planning Commission discussed the various sections and noted that there was nobody from the public to comment on the amendments. Their discussion included comments in the staff report (reproduced below) noting potential policy or technical issues for review. The primary discussion related to the hours during which additional noise regulations were to be enforced (Section 1 of the proposed ordinance). The current ordinance has a variety of start and/or end times for a night-time quiet period. The draft ordinance proposed consolidating those times, regardless of noise source. The Commission’s discussion (and recommendation) altered the draft ordinance to retain the current 10:00p deadline for music-related sound, and also to retain the current distinction between weekday and weekend morning quiet times 15
