A.43 EV Charging Update
44
45 City Planner Grittman reviewed the Planning Commission considered regulations related to
46 Electric Vehicle (EV) charging at a public hearing in June 2025. The Commission engaged in
47 a wide-ranging discussion of various aspects of EV adoption and charging requirements. The
48 discussion included industry issues, market issues, and State regulatory interests. Ultimately,
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
July 15, 2025
Page 2
1 the Planning Commission voted to table action on the ordinance, pending further
2 consideration and background.
3
4 The ordinance developed by staff was based largely on ordinances adopted by New Brighton
5 and Roseville. This draft was created at the direction of the City Council, which they had
6 discussed at an earlier work session, with comments also provided by the Parks and
7 Environmental Commission.
8
9 The draft ordinance is again before the Planning Commission. It is noted that the State plans
10 to adopt a series of regulatory requirements for EV charging in the next version of the State
11 Model Building Code. That code is due in 2030. While numerous other issues will impact
12 future requirements, the City Council has focused on a first-step approach to EV charging
13 requirements in support of its sustainability goals. It is expected that over time, these other
14 topics (industry changes, market dynamics, State regulations, etc.) will require an evolution of
15 the City’s ordinance standards.
16
17 Rather than attempting to forecast these future inputs and create an ordinance that accounts for
18 them, the proposed ordinance instead seeks to coordinate St. Anthony’s code with our nearest
19 neighbors, recognizing that these future inputs will inform changes in the local approach.
20
21 Mr. Grittman provided the ordinance for Planning Commission consideration, with the central
22 question being whether the Commission recommends this as a reasonable first step or not.
23
24 It is further noted that under general zoning law, the City has up to 120 days to consider and
25 finalize its action on a zoning request. As such, the common expectation is that the Planning
26 Commission will forward its recommendation to the City Council within 60 days, ensuring
27 the Council has adequate time to deliberate on the proposal. The Commission is requested to
28 provide its recommendation at its July 15 meeting.
29
30 Commissioner Anderson asked if the option was to amend a portion of the ordinance. Mr.
31 Grittman stated that the Planning Commission needs to provide its recommendation this
32 evening. At the last Planning Commission meeting, this item was tabled.
33
34 Chair Socha noted that the State efforts will not go into effect until 2030 for the building code.
35
36 Commissioner Mayne asked what the process is when the Commission requests a work
37 session with the City Council. Mr. Grittman stated that the City Manager decided to bring it
38 back to the Planning Commission for a recommendation.
39
40 Chair Socha stated her concern was about the existing commercial parking lots being
41 reconstructed that are not exempt, and that would be a larger cost. She stated she would like to
42 see it for the new parking lots. She asked if this is part of the code for Roseville and New
43 Brighton. Mr. Grittman stated it is part of their ordinances. She asked if there was any
44 feedback from either neighboring city, and Mr. Grittman stated he spoke with Roseville staff,
45 and they indicated they get pushback occasionally.
46
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
July 15, 2025
Page 3
1 Commissioner Erickson noted Roseville is different because they are heavy commercial, and
2 he does not see it attracting more commercial businesses.
3
4 Chair Socha noted this is what the City Council has in mind, and the Commission needs to
5 vote yes or no for the recommendation. This is the most logical thing to do. If anyone wants to
6 give a succinct statement before the vote, a succinct statement about what they would like to
7 see differently, the City Council can have that statement for consideration.
8
9 Commissioner Erickson stated he would like to see a change that would be to exclude
10 commercial with no requirement for commercial. This is based on comments from the last
11 Planning Commission Meeting. It is not the expectation of EV users to be able to charge their
12 vehicle at most commercial businesses. St. Anthony has a bit of a problem in attracting
13 commercial business, and this requirement may make that even more difficult.
14
15 Commissioner Anderson stated she is supportive, but would be more supportive if the
16 requirements for the 10 to 29 spaces were removed. It would mirror Roseville’s ordinance.
17 The Level 1 chargers are more appropriate in homes. It does not seem efficient to offer Level
18 1 chargers except in a residential area.
19
20 Commissioner Hark stated she appreciates the City’s effort in going toward a more
21 sustainable ordinance; however, she believes that anywhere Level 1 is mentioned, it should be
22 elevated to Level 2. It would be more cost-efficient for a developer to install Level 1, but the
23 return on the user is not high. She wants to be able to see an EV charger, so screening would
24 not be required. They are not unsightly and should be able to be seen if they are installed on
25 commercial properties. She wants to make sure the development agreement states we don’t
26 want the developers to be able to install the chargers later and come back, and they should be
27 held to that. They should not be granted a waiver.
28
29 Commissioner Mayne stated he would not support the ordinance as written with the
30 requirement for Commercial non-residential. That is not needed and could be viewed as a
31 burden. With the charging technology changing constantly, we should not lock into Level 1 or
32 Level 2. An alternative language would be to use EV Ready.
33
34 Chair Socha stated that generally, she loves the idea of EV chargers and the sustainability
35 benefits, and it should be encouraged. She can’t support it in its current fashion due to the
36 concerns previously mentioned. The statement of a reconstructed parking lot could drive away
37 development. She would be fine with high-residential and new commercial construction, and
38 possibly reconstructed parking lots with a broader exception.
39
40 Motion by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Morita, to recommend the
41 City Council approve Ordinance 2025-0X, an Ordinance Amending Section 154.179 of the
42 City Code to Provide for Regulations Related to Electric Vehicle Charging Requirements.

44 Motion carried 3-3 (Socha, Erickson, Morita).

B.46 Short Term Rental Update.
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
July 15, 2025
Page 4
1 Mr. Grittman reviewed the Planning Commission considered regulations related to rental
2 housing at a public hearing in June 2025. The Commission discussed several sections of a
3 draft ordinance related to both short-term and long-term rental housing in the Village. The
4 Commission expressed any interest in further discussing short-term rentals and tabled action
5 on those aspects of the proposed ordinance.
6
7 The ordinance developed by staff under consideration was reflective of the City Council’s
8 direction, generated at a prior work session and other meetings, that short-term rental housing
9 should be prohibited. This direction was again reflected in the Council work session on rental
10 housing on July 8, 2025.
11
12 The draft ordinance sections related to short-term rental housing are again before the Planning
13 Commission. There were a variety of questions and comments made by the Planning
14 Commission on this aspect of rental housing, which were relayed both through the recording
15 of the Commission’s meeting and summarized by staff for work session review. Although the
16 Commission raised several items, focused on an allowance for short-term rentals and how to
17 regulate it, the City Council reaffirmed its lack of support.
18
19 Mr. Grittman resubmitted the tabled aspects of the rental housing ordinance for Planning
20 Commission considerations related to short-term rentals. The proposed language has the effect
21 of explicitly prohibiting this land use on residential property.
22
23 For short-term rentals, the central question is whether the Commission recommends approval
24 or denial of the proposed ordinance.
25
26 It is further noted that under general zoning law, the City has up to 120 days to consider and
27 finalize its action on a zoning request. As such, the common expectation is that the Planning
28 Commission will forward its recommendation to the City Council within 60 days, ensuring
29 the Council has adequate time to deliberate on the proposal. As such, staff would note that the
30 Commission should provide its recommendation at its July 15 meeting.
31
32 Chair Socha noted that the Planning Commission at their last meeting suggested that the long-
33 term rentals be capped at 10% and the short-term rentals could be no more than 1.5% of the
34 cap. The City Council was not inclined to agree.
35
36 Commissioner Hark asked if any of the current short-term rentals within the City have a rental
37 license. Mr. Grittman stated he believes some of them may have a rental license.
38 Commissioner Hark asked if the City collects any transient occupancy tax on these rentals,
39 and Mr. Grittman stated the City does not have a transient occupancy tax.
40
41 Mr. Paul White, 32nd Avenue, owns a rental property that has been licensed for rental for over
42 10 years, and it has been operated as a short-term rental. They reviewed the ordinance and
43 understood it was ok to operate a short-term rental. It is an amenity for the neighborhood, as
44 several neighbors use it for families coming into town. His family uses it. He provided
45 comments at the last meeting, also. If short-term rentals are not allowed, the City is losing
46 something. The key is regulation. Having an owner/operator living nearby is key and makes a
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
July 15, 2025
Page 5
1 big difference. Since the discussion has been held to prohibit short-term rentals within St.
2 Anthony, he has asked a law firm to investigate it, and he is confident they are acting legally
3 now, and there is nothing in the code that clearly states a short-term rental is not allowed. He
4 believes his property rights are being taken away and that his investment in the property.
5 Permitting and inspections are good for the City. Perhaps penalties should be put in place if
6 short-term rentals are not handled correctly.
7
8 Commissioner Anderson asked if current owners would be grandfathered, and Mr. Grittman
9 stated the ordinance would not grandfather any current short-term rentals. The code has not
10 allowed them because they did not have a legal establishment when they began operating. If
11 the City were to allow for current short-term rentals to continue, an exclusion would need to
12 be written into the code. Ms. Morello stated based on the July 8 work session, the Council is
13 not interested in allowing current short-term rentals to continue.
14
15 Commissioner Hark asked if the code had never stated 30 or more consecutive days until this
16 proposal. Mr. Grittman stated that the City’s position is relying on statutory language.
17
18 Chair Socha stated she does not like the idea of short-term rentals taking all the rental licenses
19 since we have a cap. There is a need for the rental of residential units. She does not see a
20 problem with some. She likes the proposal that the Planning Commission came up with last
21 time. We are unable to grandfather current short-term rentals as they were never compliant
22 with the City code. Having a very low cap would allow for some short-term rentals within the
23 City and provide an opportunity for those with existing rental licenses to continue using it
24 within 1.5% of the 10%. It is so small that it would not cause negative effects that people are
25 worried about. The administrative burden seems worth it in tracking.
26
27 Commissioner Erickson stated he supports the ordinance with the addition of a caveat making
28 an exception for a short-term rental property where the owner owns the adjacent property.
29
30 Commissioner Anderson feels it is an amenity for St. Anthony. If this cannot be grandfathered
31 in, she would support the small percentage. She does not feel it is fair to take current short-
32 term rentals with this ordinance.
33
34 Commissioner Morita is against overregulation of property owners' rights in the City and
35 would not support the ordinance as it is amended.
36
37 Commissioner Hark stated she has worked with the licensing of short-term rentals and has a
38 different perspective on this. She said short-term rentals do not support the City’s housing
39 goals, as these rentals could be owned by first-time homeowners or rented long-term for
40 people needing housing within St. Anthony. She knows that if licensed and regulated
41 properly, nuisances can be avoided for short-term rentals and be part of our community. They
42 may be maintained better than single-family owned homes or rented single-family homes.
43 Turnover is high, but the home is constantly being maintained. The Code can be written so
44 that it only allows good owners/operators like Mr. White. It could avoid people who are trying
45 to make quick money and bring people in/out of the City. It takes a lot of staff time, and the
Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes
July 15, 2025
Page 6
1 transient occupancy tax could bring in some money for the City. She likes the idea of a nearby
2 owner. She sees both sides.
3
4 Commissioner Mayne is glad the ADU was brought up, and it would be a mistake not to plan
5 for the future there with an outright ban on short-term rentals. He is sympathetic to Mr.
6 White’s cause, and the adjacent property is a reasonable use and amenity for the City. He
7 would like to see this allowed.
8
9 Commissioner Hark stated that if we allow for the higher density of single-family homes and
10 allow ADUs, do we want short-term rentals?
11
12 Motion by Commissioner Morita, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, to recommend that
13 the City Council not approve Ordinance 2025-0X, an Ordinance Amending the City Code
14 Section 152 Related to Licensing and Regulations for Renting of Single Family Housing.

MEMORANDUM
To:Saint Anthony Village Planning Commission
From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner
Date:September 16, 2025
GC Project No.140.01 – 25.04
Property Location:3901 Foss Road, Suite D; PID: 31-30-23-41-0008
Request: Conditional Use Permit for Catering in L-I, Light Industrial District
BACKGROUND
The applicants are a coffee service catering provider seeking approval to relocate to an industrial
building at 3901 Foss Road. The applicants would occupy a portion of the existing building,
approximately 1,400 square feet. The total building square footing is approximately 12,000 square feet.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Catering operations are allowed in the L-I district by Conditional Use Permit. The purpose of the
Conditional Use Permit requirement for food-service related businesses is common to review sanitary
sewer and water needs, for which food operations can be prodigious users. In this case, the coffee
business is less likely to raise these issues, but additional review from public works will regulate this
aspect of the business use. From a land use standpoint, there would not appear to be any significant
impacts on the surrounding area.
ANALYSIS
The zoning ordinance lists the following required findings for consideration of a Conditional Use Permit:
(C) City Council action. A conditional use permit may be granted only by a majority vote of all
members of the City Council after determining that:
(1) The use is one of the conditional uses specifically listed for the district in which the
property is located;
(2) The City Council has specified all conditions which the City Council deems
necessary to make the use compatible with other uses in the area.
(3) The use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons
residing or working in the vicinity or to the values of property in the vicinity; and
(4) The use will provide a service or a facility which is in the interest of public
convenience and will contribute to the general welfare.
The use is specifically listed in the district, and the site has been developed for industrial uses. As noted
by the applicants, only limited employee counts are likely, with a total of 10 employees, and no more
than 3 employees on site at most times. Although parking on the site is somewhat informal, the low
employee count is less likely to impact the property than would a typical manufacturer or other
industrial user.
For Conditional Use Permits, the common consideration is whether the use can compatibly coexist with
others in the immediate area. As no changes are contemplated for the site, there are no apparent
concerns related to safety or negative impacts on the site or neighborhood. The site has access to Foss
Road via a private road, with parking in various locations on and around the site. The low levels of traffic
generation are unlikely to raise any issues for street use or other factors.
As noted above, because the site will operate as a food processing/preparation site, staff has requested
comment from public works and engineering to ensure that there are no anticipated impacts to water or
sanitary sewer capacities or pre-treatment requirements as a function of building permit review. Both
the City Engineer and Public Works Director have reviewed the initial application.
The City Engineer reports that they would not expect any impacts, but notes that the use is subject to
requirements for SAC and WAC (Sewer/Water Access Charges) based on the building plans. The City
Public Works Director adds this use is appropriate, on the understanding that they will not be
discharging fats, oils, or grease, into the sanitary sewer system. Any changes to these expectations will
require further review and approvals.
CONCLUSION AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Planning Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit for Coffee Cart MPLS, based on a
finding that the information supplied with the application supports compliance of the proposed use with
the intent of the L-I District, and that the applicant provides ongoing verification of compliance with any
further requirements of the Public Works Department as may be requested.
