MEMORANDUM
To:Mayor Stille and St. Anthony Village City Council
From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Date:March 23, 2023
Meeting Date:March 28, 2023
RE:Council Work Session: Code Committee Updates
NAC Project No.323.02 – 23.01
OVERVIEW
The staff Code Committee has continued to meet and work through a series of City Code issues and
updates. Over the past several months, the Committee has forwarded code amendment
recommendations related to a wide range of topics, including zoning district language, administrative
procedures, and several zoning or code performance standards, including fencing, public right of way
use, bus bench regulations, natural landscapes, trash and rubbish container storage, and many others.
The topics being addressed are generated from several sources, including the 2040 Comprehensive Plan,
staff experience with the Code and resident/business communications, Code enforcement and
engagement observations, and both Commission and City Council interest. The efforts being made with
the Code review are intended to update old language, consolidate duplicative entries, resolve conflicting
language, and most importantly, address new issues raised that are inadequately addressed.
Most of the materials have been discussed at the staff level, researched for options (including other
community Codes), then brought to the Council in work session for discussion. Those that the Council
has accepted have been routed through the Planning Commission for formal review at a published
public hearing, then brought back to Council for consideration as Ordinance amendments.
This memorandum forwards the next set of topics for work session review. They include the following:
1.Residential Parking (and code language distinguishing parking and storage).
2.Temporary Structures.
3.Temporary Signage.
4.Various Administrative amendments (including clean-up of prior changes).
Residential Parking.
The first of these, Residential Parking, is an overhaul of various parking code sections. The purpose of
these amendments is to separate and define vehicular parking on residential property, and distinguish it
from general storage. The current code language often conflates the two terms, but because the Code
generally treats the two differently, there are a number of conflicting sections, overlap, and gaps. The
5
March 28, 2023
Page 2
staff is often making an interpretation of what is allowed, which becomes difficult to maintain
consistency over time. The proposed changes include a chart and graphic that are designed to assist
both staff and residents in understanding the basic rules about what is allowed on their property, where
it is allowed, and any special requirements that may apply. In summary, this material defines parking as
the keeping of any motor vehicle, and includes recreational vehicles and trailers as “parking”.
The amendments then identify the most common locations that parking could occur on residential
properties, and sets general rules around each of those locations – some of which vary depending on
the type of vehicle. The proposed language also addresses a gap in the code’s language, recommending
a consistent treatment of surfacing for the keeping/parking of any vehicle, which is a requirement for
paving of the pad – concrete, asphalt, or pavers for the full size of the parking space. In the past, it has
been unclear whether parking pads for vehicles not in the driveway could be on gravel, landscape rock,
or even landscape mulch or grass. To minimize maintenance issues (e.g. grass and weed growth), and
be clear about the location, staff has recommended the paving of all such spaces.
It is important to note that since the City has specific impervious coverage requirements for any
property, some residents may bump into these caps when trying to create new parking locations. That
requirement will limit some properties in the amount of parking they can create. Staff notes that a
vehicle parking on landscape mulch creates an impervious surface, regardless of the porosity of the
mulch below, and as such, has recommended the paving of these spaces.
Temporary Structures.
The current Code is relatively silent on the use of temporary structures, although a wide variety of such
structures are used by residential and commercial property owners. Because they are a grey area from
a land use standpoint, this section is proposed to make clear what is allowed, where such structures are
allowed, and when any permitting becomes a requirement. Without this language, it could be
presumed that the temporary use of canopies, seasonal greenhouse structures, any many other
elements would have to meet Accessory Building regulations, which most often would prohibit their use
due to size limits or other regulations.
The commercial district allowances relate to such structures that would typically occupy parking lot
area. Many of these would fit well within the locations they are proposed to be, but some may raise
issues for circulation, fire access, or other factors. As such, those structures would be required to obtain
a Conditional Use Permit to accommodate reasonable City review prior to construction.
Temporary Signs.
Under current St. Anthony sign regulations, there are no accommodation for temporary signage in
place. A quick observation of the City’s commercial areas will show that there are many in place,
despite the lack of Code provisions. Because there was a significant impact on business activity during
the COVID period, the City expressly decided to refrain from any enforcement activity, even though
some of these signs greatly exceeded what the City might otherwise allow for permanent signage, let
along the fact that no temporary signage was allowed.
The accompanying text related to temporary signage would create a provision for these signs, with a
limitation on the sign duration, sign type limitations on size and location (on-site locations only), as well
6
March 28, 2023
Page 3
as a requirement for permitting to allow monitoring of compliance. By instituting a permitting process,
the City would be creating an allowance for such signs, which would then be in a stronger position to
enforce those that are out of conformance. The limitations are fairly tight, but as noted, current signs
are all technically illegal.
The draft language attached to this memorandum suggests a maximum of 3 permitting periods, totaling
up to a maximum of 90 days of display. The maximum size for any such sign would be 32 square feet,
equal to the size of most portable temporary signs. The summary language includes a sampling of
permitting fees in nearby communities for context.
The discussion of this issue raises a few other common points. First is the timing of enforcement, if
adopted. Many communities, when creating new language to address an existing number of compliance
issues, have phased in enforcement of the new code restrictions. The purpose of this phasing is to allow
the City an opportunity to reach out to property owners with illegal displays, let them know of the
pending changes to the code, and accommodate time for voluntary compliance. Staff would invite
Council thoughts on such a phasing period, if the code is adopted.
The second issue relates to certain common types of off-site temporary signs, usually in residential
areas. These include garage sale signs, real estate sales signs, public event signs, and “guerilla”
commercial business signs such as the type that pop up for roofers after a hail storm, or similar events.
The latter is typically an easy one to deal with through code enforcement, as they rarely have much
sympathy from public officials.
The first three types are often more problematic, as many residents have come to expect that such signs
can be placed. Once temptation is to exclude them from the general prohibition for off-site signage.
However, this is at its core a “content-based” regulation – certain off-site signs are fine, but others are
not, based only their content. Content is generally an in which the City is not permitted to regulate.
The public signs can sometimes be addressed by creating a provision that applies to public-owned and
zoned property. It is permissible to regulate differentially by zoning district. Therefore, in the Public
Open Space zoning district, the City could allow certain temporary off-site signage, whereas in other
districts it might prohibit such signs. This type of regulation would accommodate high school sports
announcement signs, public clean-up day signage, or similar types of facilities on public owned and/or
used property.
This leaves the real estate and garage sale signs. Some cities, when creating regulations for these signs,
will write an exception for temporary off-site signs of a limited size, and limit such signs to a specific
time period, such as Thursday morning through Monday morning. This usually captures most of the
garage sale and real estate open house events. By creating this type of exception, and making it content
neutral, the City would be allowing any such sign, regardless of the message. For most of the “guerilla”
commercial signs, this would be effective, as they rarely post for just a few days.
The only other real option to regulate in this area is by prohibiting all such signs, and then deal with the
impacts of sign enforcement. This is an area of temporary sign regulation where few if any communities
have found a pure solution. No recommendation or text has been proposed for this aspect of
Temporary Sign regulation, and the discussion of these regulations could be withheld for consideration
separately from the Code Committee’s proposed regulations.

Other Items.
The staff recommended a change to the manner in which enforcement could deal with those doing
work, or having done work, without a required zoning permit. The recommendation has been to mirror
the allowances of the Building Code process, which is to allow the imposition of double fees, prior to a
need to issue a violation tag. The staff’s process is to work extensively with those who are found to
have undertaken such work without permitting, and provide an opportunity to correct the lack of permit
without penalty. The double fee option creates an enforcement option that can be applied when
property owners choose not to voluntarily comply, and hopefully, it provides an incentive to obtain
permits when notified. This change was added to the recently adopted fee schedule, but is now
proposed to be added to the penalty clause (Section 10.99) or the City Code to match the schedule.
The second item relates to residential garbage container enclosures. The City created a carve-out for
residents to store containers in the front portion of their property under certain conditions, including
the screening of the containers with a “solid screen”. There have been objections to this language from
residents who are proposing to construct reasonable screening structures, but which have limited gaps
between the materials. Staff believes that language amount to a gap of approximately 1 inch between
boards of the screening structure would fulfill the intent of the code, and provide some flexibility for
residents, and would bring this amendment forward with the next set of ordinances.
Related to this item is concerns that the size limitations created by the adopted code have been found
to raise issues for some residents in fitting all containers in the enclosure. Especially with the current
change in trash collection contractor, this comment has been raised. We would proposed to research
this issue again, and modify the dimensions in the code to accommodate the dominant sized containers.
