CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: July 27, 2015
AGENDA#: 9C
PREPARED BY: CASEY MCCABE, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST
PRESENTED BY: DAN ROGNESS, COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SUBSECTION
1102.1400 OF THE CITY CODE RELATED TO ALLOWING OUTDOOR STOR-
AGE EXCEEDING 50% OF THE BUILDING AREA IN THE GENERAL INDUS-
TRIAL (I-1) USE DISTRICT AS A CONDITIONAL USE
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is to consider approval of an Ordinance amend-
ing Subsection 1102.1400 of the City Code to allow Outdoor Storage exceeding
50% of the Building Area in the General Industrial (I-1) Use District as a Condi-
tional Use.
History
On December 10, 2012 the Prior Lake City Council approved an ordinance
amending Sections 1101 (General Provisions), 1102 (Use District Regulations)
and 1107 (General Performance Standards) of the zoning ordinance to assist in
the creation of economic development activities through relaxed development
requirements. The ordinance amendments allowed for a greater variety of ap-
proved building materials, provided more flexible development options, simpli-
fied the development and approval process and more closely aligned Prior
Lake's zoning ordinance to those of surrounding communities while protecting
adjacent residential areas.
One of the ordinance amendments approved in December 2012 was to move
the Outdoor Storage use from a Use Requiring Conditional Use Permit (CUP)to
a Permitted Use with Conditions in the I-1, General Industrial Use District.
Current Circumstances
When the Outdoor Storage use was moved from a CUP to a Permitted Use with
Conditions, a condition was added which restricts the outdoor storage area to an
area no larger than 50% of the floor area of the principal structure. However,
there is now an unintended consequence of this new condition that impacts fu-
ture industrial development applicants. If someone wishes to have an outdoor
storage area greater than 50% of their principal structure in the I-1 district, they
have no avenue to request approval because the use no longer requires a CUP.
The intent of the ordinance amendment was to simplify the approval process by
allowing the outdoor storage use in the I-1 use district without requiring the ap-
plicant to follow the CUP process; however, now that the CUP process is no
longer an option, an applicant does not have an opportunity to seek an outdoor
storage area which may exceed 50% of the floor area of the principal structure.
When the City Council approved ordinance amendments for the C-3, Business
Park Use District on January 12, 2015, a new land use description of Outdoor
Storage, Class II was added to Subsection 1101.1000, Land Use Descriptions.
In the C-3 district, an outdoor storage area no larger than 50% of the floor area
of the principal structure is considered Outdoor Storage and is a Use Permitted
with Conditions. An outdoor storage area with an area exceeding 50% of the
floor area of the principal structure is considered Outdoor Storage, Class II, and
a CUP is required. Below are the definitions of Outdoor Storage and Outdoor
Storage, Class II from Subsection 1101.1000 (Land Use Descriptions) of the
zoning ordinance:
Outdoor Storage. The receiving, keeping or shipping of goods and materials
outside of an enclosed building where such use occupies an area no larger than
50% of the floor area of the principal structure. Outdoor activity includes only
the unloading, loading, and keeping of materials; may include storage yards for
contractors, equipment, lumber, landscaping materials, construction materials
and shipping materials and containers. Storage of unlicensed or inoperable ve-
hicles or other materials typically associated with a junkyard or salvage yard are
excluded. (Ord. Amd. 115-02, publ. 01/17/15)
Outdoor Storage, Class II. The receiving, keeping or shipping of goods and
materials outside of an enclosed building where such use occupies an area
larger than 50% of the floor area of the principal structure. Outdoor activity in-
cludes only the unloading, loading, and keeping of materials; may include stor-
age yards for contractors, equipment, lumber, landscaping materials, construc-
tion materials and shipping materials and containers. Storage of unlicensed or
inoperable vehicles or other materials typically associated with a junkyard or sal-
vage yard are excluded. (Ord. Amd. 115-02, publ. 01/17/15)
Conclusion
Staff is proposing to add the Outdoor Storage, Class II use as a Use Permitted
by Conditional Use Permit in the I-1, General Industrial Use District which would
allow future applicants to request an outdoor storage area larger than 50% of
the floor area of the principal structure through the conditional use permit pro-
cess.
The Economic& Community Development Strategic Element of the 2030 Vision
and Strategic Plan identifies a goal to review the existing City Code and Zoning
Ordinance provisions to assess their impact on achieving economic develop-
ment objectives.

D The adoption of the amendment is consistent with State and/or fed-
eral requirements.
1. There is a public need for the amendments.
