DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: The applicants are requesting approval of a property line adjustment between two properties Parcel A is occupied by a plant nursery/garden center and is 10.22 acres and Parcel B is farmed vacant property and is 65.03 acres. The applicants are proposing to adjust the property lines so that Parcel A is 13.46 acres and Parcel B is 61.79 acres. 2.

(2) of this section further states that, “where the adjustment of the property line between two properties retains or causes both properties to be in conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Regulation, the Zoning Administrator shall provide the application to the City Council for administrative review and consideration.” Page 2 Findings Staff finds that both properties will comply with all applicable regulations in the City Code with the approval of the property line adjustment. Staff also found that with the proposed property line adjustment the well serving Parcel A will be on the correct parcel. 4. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution approving a property line adjustment for Frank and Jody Puleo and Busy B Enterprises, LLC, for property located at 16155 Forest Blvd and a vacant property to the south.

BACKGROUND. WHEREAS, the City Council adopted an Ordinance 2016-475 SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS on January 4, 2016; WHEREAS, in view of experience following the adoption of the above-referenced ordinances, including an observation that Solar Farm Solar Energy Systems may not be appropriate in certain land use categories in the City because of issues relating to compatibility and appearance, the City has determined that an additional study shall be conducted to review the City’s zoning ordinance and official controls relating thereto to ensure the zoning ordinance and official controls regarding Solar Farms adequately addresses the public health, safety and general welfare of the community; WHEREAS, Solar Farms are defined as a solar energy system that is composed of multiple solar panels where the primary land use, whether by footprint or visual impact or both, of the parcel is for a solar array. A solar farm produces energy for wholesale to subscribers. WHEREAS, the City has determined that the section of the ordinance regarding Accessory Solar Energy Systems adequately addresses the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community, and are exempt from the moratorium. Such systems are for accessory use and predominantly serve on-site users. WHEREAS, to provide adequate time for study, analysis, and the finalization of City Code amendments regarding Solar Farms or to preserve the status quo within the City, the City desires to enact an interim ordinance on the applications for and the issuance of permits for Solar Farms. WHEREAS, pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 462.355, subd. 4, the City is authorized to enact by ordinance a moratorium to regulate, restrict or prohibit any use within the jurisdiction to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. Specifically, the City is authorized to enact a moratorium ordinance to allow it to undertake a study to determine whether to revise or add any regulations or restrictions, including siting and location of use, performance standards, and screening of Solar Farms. WHEREAS, on May 20, 2024, the City Council adopted an interim Ordinance #2024-530 to Ordinance 2024-____ Page 2 of 3 place a moratorium on solar farm solar energy systems. WHEREAS, Ordinance #2024-530 is set to expire November 20, 2024. WHEREAS, the ordinance review committee has been studying the ordinance and needs additional time to hold a public hearing on the proposed ordinance revisions. SECTION 2. FINDINGS. 1. The City Council finds there is a need to study the Solar Farm section of the ordinance to determine whether to revise or add any regulations, restrictions, or prohibitions, including siting and location of use, performance standards, and screening of Solar Farms. This ordinance does not have an effect of imposing limitations or restrictions to the application of Accessory Solar Energy Systems. 2. The study will address issues including, but not limited to the following: 1) The particular districts and locations such use shall be allowed; 2) The concentration and density of such uses in the City; 3) Performance standards for such uses in the City; and; 3) The effects of such uses on other uses and the surrounding area. 3. The study will allow the City Council to determine the appropriate changes or prohibitions, if any, that it should make to City ordinances. 4. The City Council, therefore, finds that there is a need to adopt a City-wide moratorium of the applications for and the issuance of permits for Solar Farms. SECTION 3. MORATORIUM. 1. No individual, establishment, organization, or business may apply for applications for approval or the issuance of permits for Solar Farms for six (6) months from August 6, 2023. 2. No application or permit of any kind, by any individual, establishment, organization, or businesses involved in Solar Farms within the City of Hugo shall be accepted, considered, or issued for six (6) months from August 6, 2023. 3. Planning or zoning applications related to Solar Farms or applications from individuals, establishments, organizations, or businesses involved in Solar Farms within the City of Hugo shall not be accepted, considered, or issued for six (6) months from August 6, 2023. SECTION 4. STUDY. The City Council directs City staff to study the Solar Farm section of the ordinance to determine whether to revise or add any regulations or restrictions, including siting and location of use, performance standards, and screening of Solar Farms. Upon completion of the study, the City Council, together with such commission as the City Council deems appropriate, or as may be required by law, will consider the advisability of adopting Ordinance 2024-____ Page 3 of 3 new ordinances or amending its current ordinances. SECTION 5. ENFORCEMENT. The City may enforce this Ordinance by mandamus, injunctive relief, or other appropriate civil remedy in any court of competent jurisdiction. The City Council hereby authorizes the City Administrator, in consultation with the City Attorney, to initiate any legal action deemed necessary to secure compliance with this Ordinance. A violation of this Ordinance is also subject to the City’s general penalty in City Code § Sec. 1 - 18 subd. (b). SECTION 6. TERM. Unless earlier rescinded by the City Council, the moratorium established under this Ordinance shall remain in effect until six (6) months from November 20, 2024, at which point, it will automatically expire. SECTION 7. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage by the City Council. This ordinance is effective upon adoption. ADOPTED by the City Council this 21st day of October, 2024. ______________________________ Tom Weidt, Mayor ATTEST: _____________________________ Michele Lindau, City Clerk SUMMARY ORDINANCE 2024-_____ NOTICE: THIS PUBLISHED MATERIAL IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES FOR THE CITY OF HUGO.

BACKGROUND GreenStep is a Minnesota-based continuous improvement program that provides recognition and assistance to cities for achieving sustainability and quality of life goals. Participating cities are recognized for pursuing actions related to 29 best practices. These best practices fall into five categories: Buildings and Lighting, Land Use, Transportation, Environmental Management, and Resilient Economic and Community Development. There are around 175 actions that can constitute implementing a best practice, providing a diversity of options for cities of various sizes across Minnesota. The GreenStep program includes five steps of accomplishment which cities can be recognized for. Cities achieve Step 1 when they join the program by adopting a city resolution. Step 2 recognizes cities that implement 4, 6, or 8 best practice actions, depending on city size. To achieve Step 3, cities must double the number of practices they have implemented, including certain specific high-impact actions. Step 4 involves measuring and reporting city performance metrics. Step 5 recognizes cities that continue to report performance metrics while demonstrating improvement. Qualifying sustainability actions that a city completed before participating in GreenStep may be counted toward these steps, providing recognition for work cities have already done. Cities that participate in the GreenStep program work toward sustainability benefits such as improved quality of life and social equity, improved preparation for extreme weather, prevention of future environmental costs, and increased resilience to financial pressures. Additionally, participating cities benefit from public recognition, including through GreenStep road signs and recognition at an annual League of Minnesota Cities conference. GreenStep can also connect cities to funding and technical assistance, and may be beneficial when applying to competitive grant programs. Additional benefits include access to best practice action reports from peer cities and potential leadership opportunities for community members. 2. GREENSTEP IN HUGO The City of Hugo could become a GreenStep city by pursuing Step 1. Required actions to complete this step include passing a city resolution, appointing a GreenStep coordinator (this could be an existing staff person, an elected official, or community member) and emailing the resolution and coordinator’s contact information to GreenStep staff. The program also recommends meeting with community organizations and residents to build interest, inviting a GreenStep program representative to visit the community and present to city council or staff, and reviewing any existing and planned GreenStep practices. Hugo is considered a category B city, meaning the city must implement six best practice actions to complete Step 2. Some previous City actions can be counted toward this goal, including: referencing the  2       comprehensive plan in the zoning code (6.2); having a downtown zoning district that emphasizes destination businesses and allows residential development (8.5); making functional/recreational walking/biking possible between at least one park/open area and city streets (11.5); implementing traffic calming measures such as roundabouts (11.6); installing/incentivizing rainwater harvesting to supplant irrigation with drinking water (17.5); and providing rainwater for parkland irrigation (18.5). Planned efforts that could contribute to the City’s GreenStep progress include adopting a city vision that looks at least 20 years into the future (6.1). Thus, after completing Step 1 by passing a resolution, the City would be able to complete Step 2 by simply documenting completed best practice actions on the GreenStep website. The City has also made progress toward Step 3, which involves implementing 6 additional best practices, including certain specific required practices and guidance on which types of practices to implement. Progress includes completing required best practice action 6.2 and pursuing required action 6.1. Additionally, the City has completed actions in the Land Use and Transportation categories, which Step 3 requires progress in. Potential actions to consider to continue progress toward Step 3 include: entering and routinely updating government building information into the MN B3 Benchmarking database (1.1, specifically required); creating an outreach program to promote residential water use reduction (2.1); adopting a sustainable purchasing policy or guideline (15.1, specifically required); lowering the environmental footprint of city meetings and events (15.7); establishing a sustainability-focused working group or commission (24.1, specifically required); creating opportunities for young people to participate in city government (24.6); and promoting sustainable tourism in the city (25.3). 3. RECCOMENDATION The City of Hugo has made substantial progress toward sustainability and is well on the way to achieving Step 3 of the GreenStep program. Participating in GreenStep would grant public recognition for this progress and may provide technical and financial assistance opportunities for future sustainability efforts. For these reasons, staff recommend adopting a resolution to participate in the GreenStep program, documenting completed best practice actions to complete Step 2, and directing staff on future sustainability action.
