MEMORANDUM To:Mayor Webster and St. Anthony Village City Council From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner Date:City Council Meeting – March 26, 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 second reading. Per the Council’s review and discussion of the material at the first reading, updates have been made to a few of the sections. Primarily, those comments included the following: Section 1. Nuisance Noise - The Council suggested that consistency within the ordinance’s noise limits is an appropriate objective, and that differentiation between noise sources (as suggested by the Planning Commission) was relevant, but consistency was relevant. As such, all hours of nuisance noise impacts were set to between 10:00pm and 7:00am. It is noted that the nuisance noise ordinance limitations of this section are enforced on a complaint basis, and unreasonable nuisance noise would continue to be a violation of Code. One exception was made for Refuse Hauling (Section V(2)b. of the Ordinance). This section specifies hours of 7:00am to 8:00pm, weekday or weekend/holiday, which is the time that is required by the City’s contract with its refuse haulers. Section 2. Landscape Screening – no changes. Section 3. Nuisance Storage – the exception in this section for front-yard seasonal residential recreational equipment was modified to reflect the 10:00pm to 7:00am limitations for both noise, and for lighting. Section 4. A new Section was inserted based on staff feedback, which incorporates a reference to the residential recreational equipment in the Nuisance Storage section to enhance the ability for users of the code to find relevant information. 101
