MEETING DATE: June 6, 2016
AGENDA ITEM: Zoning Ordinance Amendments
SUBMITTED BY: Community Development Department
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission(7-0)
recommended approval of the Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Planning Commission has been reviewing proposed
amendments to the Zoning Ordinance, including the addition of a new zoning district titled R-5
Supportive Care District, along with adding a provision to allow for a bonus room for patio homes since
there have been residents requesting the ability to do that. The current definition of a patio home is one
level living and does not allow for the provision of a bonus room. Allowing a bonus room above the
garage would not change the height, building footprint and would be a relatively small addition to the
living space area. The purpose of the new R-5 Supportive Care District is to provide continuing housing
(age in place) from independent to full care and for high quality mixed use development, including
medium and high density residential, such as patio homes, townhomes, and other senior multi-family
housing and limited commercial. The new zoning district is consistent with the City's Comprehensive
Plan. Ordinances need updating from time to time due to changes related to community needs, ordinance
intent and relevance.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed Ordinance Amendments as required
during their May 23rd, 2016 meeting. Jane DeAustin with the Central MN Builder's Association
(CMBA) spoke at the hearing commenting on the importance of having flexibility in the ordinance and
appreciates the proposed amendments. No further public comments were received. The Planning
Commission requested a definition(s)be added to ensure that a bonus room could not be a separate living
quarters with kitchen, bathroom, etc. so definitions for a bonus room and dwelling unit have been added.
