Planning Commission Memo
May 13, 2013
City of St. Joseph, PO Box 668, St. Joseph MN 56374
Once a year staff reviews Ordinances for potential amendments, typically the Amendments have
conflicts or changing needs. While the exact language has yet to be determined, the following table is a
list of proposed amendments for discussion by the Planning Commission.
Ordinance 52.34 Industrial
1. Add a provision for Biomedical Research. In the past the
City identified the industrial park an area where bio-
medical activities could occur, but it has been noticed
that no provision to the Zoning District was provided.
The City is actively working with a bio medical research
company who is looking at purchasing a building in the
industrial park. It was discovered that a bio- medical
industry is not permitted. Therefore the request is to
add bio- medical research as a use under special uses.
2. Modify the provision for shooting ranges, relating the
special use permit to MN Statutes. Shooting ranges are
regulated by MN Statute and NRA. Included in this
packet is the Statute.
Business Zoning Districts
The current Ordinances include an exterior requirement of 50 %,
(6162)
the question has arisen if the intent is 50% of all sides or if it
could be combined on two or three sides.
Fence (52.12)
The current fence ordinance has excess footing requirements
that should be changed.
Accessory Building (52.10)
Review Provisions for setback and requirements
Sign Ordinance
Clarify the provisions as there is conflict.
(61— 63)
Should the City create a provision that requires all City fees and
Ordinance 55
invoices be paid before issuance of a rental license?
