The proposed amendment will make the required publication dates compatible with the newspaper publication schedule and the meeting schedules. The Zoning Ordinance currently requires the City Council to hold a public hearing on any proposed Comprehensive Rezoning, such as the adoption of a new Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map. Notice of the public hearing must be published in at least three weekly issues of the newspaper, and the hearing shall be held not less than ten days or more than fifteen days after the last publication. The problem with this requirement is that it does not coincide with the publishing schedules of the newspaper or the City. Council meeting dates. Since we cannot meet the prescribed timelines, it is necessary to change the ordinance. The proposed amendment does not change the intent of the ordinance. Notice will still be published in three weekly issues of the paper. However, the public hearing will be held not less than nine days or more than sixteen days after the date of the last publication.

The proposed amendment will bring the required publication dates into conformance with the newspaper publication schedule and the meeting schedules. DISCUSSION: Section 7.9 F of the Zoning Ordinance outlines the procedures for a Comprehensive Rezoning. Subsection 3 of this section states the following: 3. Notice. The Zoning Officer shall publish notice in at least three (3) weekly issues of the official newspaper on the proposed rezoning amendment. The public hearing shall be held not less than ten (10) or more than fifteen (15) days after the last publication. The problem with this requirement is that it does not coincide with the publishing schedules of the newspaper and the meeting date. For example, if the newspaper were published on Fridays, or meetings were scheduled on Tuesdays, we could meet these timelines. Since we cannot meet the timelines prescribed by the ordinance, it is necessary to change the ordinance. The proposed change is relatively simple, and does not change the intent of the ordinance. Notice will still be published in three weekly issues of the paper. The public hearing date will be held not less than nine (9) or more than sixteen (16) days after the last publication. 1:\98files\98ordamd\zoning\98-024\98024pc.doc 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E" Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.
