inhabitants; and
WHEREAS, wild animal populations have declined on average by more than half and the Earth is facing an era
of mass extinction; and
WHEREAS, the loss of species is for the most part a result of human activity, including degradation of
ecosystems, deforestation, pollution, and climate change; and

city dwellers such as generating oxygen and purifying the air; controlling other animals considered pests or
that spread disease; pollinating plants and crops; providing recreation opportunities and well-being, etc.; and
WHEREAS, many plants, wild animals, and pollinators live in urbanized landscapes, and cities thereby have a
responsibility to examine the ecological impacts of expanding urban areas and how to protect biodiversity; and
WHEREAS, it is understood that sustainability will only be achieved by meeting the needs of the present without
compromising the needs of future generations; and
WHEREAS, it is more important than ever to cooperate locally and internationally to defend the environmental

11 had existed largely in the same location and nature of operation in previous years, without
12 apparent incident or issue. Questions were raised as to the restroom facilities available to

14 the Subway Restaurant in the past and anticipates that this will continue to be the case. The

18 conditions identified. The conditions have been expanded slightly to express the Commission’s
19 recommendation that staff would have the authority to approve any future request for portable
20 restroom locations if such a facility were to be needed.

22 Mr. Grittman stated the applicant is seeking approval of a Conditional Use Permit to erect and
23 operate a temporary garden center as a commercial use on the property at 2900 Pentagon Drive
24 (the St. Anthony Shopping Center). The garden center would be set up and placed in the parking
25 lot of the center along the outer boundary of the property nearest the frontage road for Highway
26 88. Temporary structures such as this are specifically allowed as Conditional Uses, with a series
27 of conditions that relate to the site conditions and requirements for the facility, including
28 duration, signage and other operational elements. Two emails were received and both gave
29 support for the request.

31 The Staff Analysis of the request was reviewed. Staff recommends approval with the following
32 conditions:
33
1.34 Issues related to building, fire, and other related City Codes shall be subject to

40 facilities on the premises. If portable restroom facilities are proposed at some point in
41 the future, the applicant may provide information to the City and Staff shall have the
42 authority to approve a location consistent with the requirements of the City Code.

C.28 Ordinance 2024-01 – Amending the St. Anthony City Code, by Amending Sections of
29 the City Code Relating to Nuisance, Signage, Permitting, Performance Standards and
30 Land Use.
31
32 City Planner Grittman reviewed updates have been made to the proposed code amendments for
33 the City Council’s second reading. Per the Council’s review and discussion of the material at the
34 first reading updates have been made to a few of the sections:
35
36 Section 1 – Nuisance Noise – The Council suggested that consistency within the ordinance’s
37 noise limits is an appropriate objective, and that differentiation between noise sources (as
38 suggested by the Planning Commission) was relevant but consistency was relevant. As such, all
39 hours of nuisance noise impacts were set to between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. It is noted that the
40 nuisance noise ordinance limitations of this section are enforced on a compliant basis, and
41 unreasonable nuisance noise would continue to be a violation of Code.
42
43 Section 2 – Landscape Screening – No changes.

1 Section 3 – Nuisance Storage – the exception in this section for front-yard seasonal residential
2 recreational equipment was modified to reflect the 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. limitations for both
3 noise, and for lighting.
4
5 Section 4 – A new section was inserted based on staff feedback, which incorporates a reference
6 to the residential recreational equipment in the Nuisance Storage section to enhance the ability
7 for users of the code to find relevant information.
8
9 Section 5 – (Formerly 4) – No changes.
10
11 Section 6 – (Formerly 5) – Rodent harborage prohibitions. This section was amended to provide
12 clarification that intentional accumulations of vegetation for feeding of wild birds, and compost
13 structures that comply with City Code are exempt from prohibitions of this section.
14
15 Section 7-14 (formerly 6-13) – No further changes.
16
17 Mr. Grittman requested Council to comment on any elements of the language, and move the
18 ordinance to its third and final reading, at which point the Council may adopt the Ordinance as it
19 is presented or amended in final form.
20
21 Councilmember Stephens asked about parking outside a residence and asked if that portion of the
22 ordinance was brought to the meeting and Mr. Grittman stated that had been reviewed and
23 approved previously. Councilmember Stephens stated she is concerned about the wording of that
24 section. Mr. Grittman stated this section refers to parking on private property not on the street.
25 Mr. Grittman will provide the language prior to the Third Reading.
26
27 Motion by Councilmember Doolan, seconded by Councilmember Jenson for approval of Second

MEMORANDUM
To:Mayor Webster and St. Anthony Village City Council
From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Date:City Council Meeting – April 9, 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
third and final 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. The attached “final” ordinance
represents the summary of those comments, with no new changes since the second reading.
Attached to this cover memo is the final draft of the proposed ordinance, as well as additional
background related to the changes made to the parking sections in 2023. At that time, the City
Code was amended to separate parking and storage, shifting parking regulations into the zoning
section (152), and retaining nuisance storage in that section (92.19). Because there were other
nuisance storage issues to address, the updates to 92.19 were delayed, and the former parking
regulations in 92.19 remained until this round of updates.
In 2023, there were two primary amendments to the parking regulations, including an
expanded set of definitions (152.08), and an expanded set of parking regulations (152.179).
Both redlined versions are attached to provide additional background about the current
language as adopted by the Council last year.
CITY COUNCIL ACTION
This is the third and final of three readings of the proposed ordinance. The Council is asked to
comment on any elements of the language. Action would be:
Motion to approve the third and final reading, and to adopt Ordinance 2024-01 as it is
presented or amended in final form.

PRIOR ORDINANCE HISTORY
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 noting potential policy or
technical issues for review.
The City Council took up the first reading of the Ordinance at its regular meeting on March 12,
2024. The Council discussed the Planning Commission recommendations, directed staff to
modify a few of the items, and commented on others.
At the March 26, 2024 City Council meeting, the Council held the second reading of the
proposed Ordinance, reviewed changes made to the Ordinance draft reflecting prior Council
discussion, and had no further changes.
SUMMARY AND STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
As noted above, staff is requesting adoption of the ordinance as presented, or as amended with
any final comments from the City Council.
