Once approved by the city council, the delineation made by <br />the technical evaluation panel shall be the official record of the city. <br />(2) It is unlawful for any person to fill, excavate, alter, or drain, or to allow the fill, excavation, alteration, <br />or drainage of any land within the wetland protection district, except in conformance with this chapter. <br />No building or structure may be constructed or placed in the wetland protection district except in <br />conformance with this chapter and state law. <br />(3) Those uses and activities specified in Minn. Stat. § 103G.2241, 103G.231 and 103G.2364 are permitted <br />accessory uses in the wetlands protection district to the extent allowed by law. <br />(4) Fill, excavation, alteration, and drainage of wetlands may be allowed by conditional use permit, subject <br />to an approved wetlands replacement plan prepared in accordance with Minn. Stat. § 103G.222 and/or <br />Minn. Stat. § 103G.2242. The wetlands replacement plan shall be considered concurrently and as part <br />of the conditional use permit. <br />(Prior Code, § 1155-050.1) <br />Sec. 90-140. Superfund recovery district. <br />(a) All parcels of land determined by the state pollution control agency (MPCA) to be contaminated by <br />hazardous substances, in accordance with Minn. Stat. ch. 115B, shall be included in the superfund recovery <br />district of the city without any further action by the city. Once the MPCA issues a certification that the <br />hazardous conditions on the property have been corrected, the parcel shall be removed from the district <br />without any further action by the city. <br />(b) The construction or expansion of any building or accessory structure, changes of use, and topographic <br />alteration not related to cleanup of the site, shall be conditional uses in the superfund recovery district. <br />(c) No conditional use permit shall be issued to a parcel of land in the superfund recovery district that would <br />impede, delay, or make impractical the complete correction of environmentally hazardous conditions on the <br />parcel. <br />(Prior Code, § 1155-060.1) <br />Sec. 90-141. Planned unit developments (PUD). <br />(a) Purpose and intent. Planned unit developments (PUD) offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through <br />the relaxation of most normal zoning district standards. The use of the PUD zoning district also allows for a <br />greater variety of uses, internal transfers of density, construction phasing and a potential for lower <br />development costs. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility, the city has the expectation that the <br />development plan will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than would have <br />been the case with the use of other, more standard zoning districts. It will be the applicant's responsibility to <br />demonstrate that the city's expectation is to be realized as evaluated against the following criteria: <br />(1) The establishment of PUD zoning districts in appropriate settings and situations, to create or maintain a <br />development pattern that complies with the city's comprehensive plan. <br />(2) The mixing of land uses within a development when such mixing of land uses could not otherwise be <br />accomplished under this chapter. <br />(3) Variations to the strict application of the land use regulations in this chapter in order to improve site <br />design and operation, while at the same time incorporating design elements (e.g., construction <br />materials, landscaping, lighting, open space, etc.) that exceed the city's standards to offset the effect of <br />any variations.
