CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
JUNE 1, 2009
10C
DANETTE PARR, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND NATURAL
RESOURCES DIRECTOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 1102
OF THE CITY ZONING ORDINANCE RELATED TO SHOPPING CENTERS
Introduction
The purpose of this report is to consider an amendment to Section 1102.1203
of the City Zoning Ordinance.
Historv
During a recent City Council workshop related to updating the Zoning
Ordinance, the Council expressed a desire to allow more oversight of larger
scaled shopping center areas. In order to incorporate this change within the
Code, a public hearing was necessary, so the item was referred to the
Planning Commission to host a public hearing.
On May 26, 2009 the Planning Commission held a public hearing and
unanimously recommended approval of the Ordinance amendment.
Current Circumstances
Currently the Ordinance allows for shopping centers with gross areas of
275,000 square feet to be permitted with conditions in the C-4 General
Business Use District. All shopping centers with a square footage greater than
275,000 square feet are required to receive a Conditional Use Permit. The
proposal would decrease the square footage threshold to 150,000 square feet.
Larger scaled shopping centers can at times be associated with increased
traffic, noise, and other impacts on the local community. Due to these
impacts, additional conditions may be appropriate to alleviate any possible
negative impacts to the community.
There are no noted financial impacts related to the proposed Ordinance
amendment as being proposed.
The Council has the following alternatives:
1. Adopt an ordinance amending the text of the City Code as proposed or
with changes specified by the City Council.
2. Deny the amendment to the ordinance.
3. Defer consideration of the item and provide staff with specific direction..
The Staff recommends Alternative #1
Motion and second to adopt an ordinance amending Section 1102.1203 of the
rior Lake City Code.
