ADJOURN
that the market members are properly licensed,insured,and inspected. Requiring this
protects the City by knowing that the Association is guaranteeing that its members are
properly managed.
(b) Shall identify a market manager that facilitates the requirements of the City;
According to the MFMA, most established farmers markets will have a designated market
manager that is in control of making sure the vendors follow the guidelines or bylaws and
have the necessary permits. Requiring this as a condition will give the City one point person
to communicate with to ensure the market has everything required.
(c) Shall have General Liability insurance including Products and Completed Operations coverage
with a minimum Limit of Liability of$1,500,000 per occurrence;
Requiring this provides protection for the City and the market.

with all applicable City of Fridley regulations and city codes;
Requiring this provides protection for the City and the market.
(e) A majority of the products sold shall be grown or produced in Minnesota;
This is a requirement of the MFMA and will be submitted to the City with the permit form.
Providing MN grown products is what the City hopes to achieve by allowing Farmers Markets
within the City,thereby providing fresh, locally grown produce to Fridley residents.
(f) The sale of live animals and alcoholic beverages is prohibited;
The Famers Market is limited to the sale of the items listed within the definition of Farmers
Market. That definition again is:A temporary,seasonal,outdoor event that provides an
opportunity for the public to buy Minnesota grown fresh fruits,vegetables,flowers and food
products directly from farmers,growers,or producers. Locally grown products are picked
fresh and brought straight to the market and sold by the growers themselves or locally grown
products that are prepared or processed according to guidelines set forth by Minnesota
Department of Agriculture's Food &Dairy Inspection Division in accordance with the
Minnesota Department of Health. Locally crafted specialty items are allowable provided they
are not mass produced.
(g) Any advertising or directional signs displayed either off premise or on premises shall only be
displayed on the day of the event with the exception of one 4 ft. by 8 ft. sign that can be
displayed on the premises for the duration of the farmers market season;
Being specific about what is required for signage for the event will help ensure that the
market is aware of the regulation,therefore providing for less potential violations.
(h) The location of the event shall have written authorization from the property owner;
Property owner consent is something the City requires on permit applications to ensure that
the property owner knows what's happening on their property.
(i) An established schedule shall be submitted as to the dates and times of the market•
Requiring this provides the City with the schedule of the event,so we know what is happening
on the property.
(j) Any temporary structure used for the farmers market shall be erected and removed on the day
of the event;
Requiring this will prevent temporary tents from sitting on site when the market isn't running
(k) A site plan shall be submitted showing tent and vendor locations vehicle circulation and parking
prior to commencement of event Site plan to be approved by the Community Development
Director;
Staff wants to ensure that traffic patterns and parking aren't adversely affected by the event.
(1) A Farmers Market Event Permit Application shall be completed, approved and on file with the
Community Development Director prior to commencement of event; providing proof that all
above requirements are being met;
3
A permit submittal requirement will allow the City to have the proper information submitted
and approved prior the event.
(m)The City reserves their right to revoke anv Farmers Market Event Permit issued for failure of
compliance with the above requirements. The City will process any such license revocation
according to the procedures listed in City Code Section 11.08.
Providing this regulation allows the City to revoke the permit in the event that compliance of
a market isn't achieved.
Staff has determined that the above listed requirements are necessary for a Farmers Market to work
within the City. The above language will be added to each section of the zoning code, including the
residential, commercial, industrial,the "special" zoning districts, such as the S-1, Hype Park, S-2,
Redevelopment, S-3, Onaway, the PUD zoning district and the newly approved TOD,Transit Oriented
Development district. When the TOD language was approved, Farmers' Markets were allowed through
a special use permit. If we are proposing to allow Farmers Markets to exist as an accessory use, with a
permit in all other zoning districts, it only seemed appropriate to allow it in the TOD as well.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends approval of the proposed text amendment to the R-1,Single Family, R-2,Two
Family, R-3, General Multiple Dwelling, P, Public, C-1, Local Business, C-2, General Business, C-3, General
Shopping, CR-1, General Office, M-1, Light Industrial, M-2, Heavy Industrial, M-3, Heavy Industrial
Outdoor Intensive, M-4, Manufacturing Only, PUD, Planned Unit Development, S-1, Hyde Park
Neighborhoods, S-2, Redevelopment S-3, Heavy Industrial Onaway Addition and 0-8,Transit Oriented
Development Overlay zoning district. These changes will allow Farmers Markets to exist within the City
as an accessory use, provided certain regulations can be met. These changes will support opportunities
for local growers to sell fresh, locally grown produce within our Community.
The proposed text amendment is attached in your packet for your review.

SUBJECT: TA#12-01, Farmers Market Text Amendment
ANALYSIS
It's no secret that over the course of the last several years,we are hearing more and more about
creating healthy lifestyles,which includes the opportunity to purchase and consume fresh, locally grown
fruit and vegetables. One way City staff has been able to help with these efforts has been through
helping administer the Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP),with assistance from the school
districts and Unity Hospital. The SHIP program helped fund the East River Road Corridor Project study,
which had an emphasis on creating multi-modal transportation along this corridor within the City. It
also helped the City complete a Bikeway/Walkway Study to help identify where our current walking and
biking systems have missing links. It is our hope to eventually receive grants to help fill in those gaps.
City staff has also spent some time brainstorming on other ways to help bring healthier lifestyle options
to our residents. Two options that keep coming up are providing opportunities for community gardens
and local farmers markets. The City already has two community gardens for residents,one at.the City's
Public Works Garage and the other is administered through Unity Hospital. If there is further interest
from residents for other Community Garden opportunities,the City may want to fully research what
other options we might have to fulfill that need. Unity Hospital conducted a Farmers Market on their
site last summer,which was mainly geared towards employees and was held once a week. We have
also gotten inquires from St. Philip's Lutheran Church and Medtronic to have a farmers market. The City
currently doesn't have any specific regulations allowing Farmers Markets, and, as a result; Fridley's
Zoning Code does not permit them.
When we originally started our research,we surveyed some of the surrounding communities to see
what their requirements are. In doing that research we discovered that a lot of Cities don't have any
specific regulations for Farmers Markets. Some allow them as a transient merchant, others allow them
through City or Community sponsored events and others allow them without any specific regulations
and yet,others require a special use permit be granted.
We also contacted the Minnesota Farmers Market Association (MFMA)to see what kind of regulations
they typically see when Farmers Markets operate within a particular community and received positive
feedback from them on our proposed regulations. MFMA is a non-profit, membership-
based organization dedicated to supporting the growth and development of farmers'markets across the
state of Minnesota. The Minnesota Farmers Market Association states that their purpose is to provide
service to farmers,growers and producers throughout Minnesota that can benefit by networking to:
• Effect Federal/State/Local Government regulations regarding:
• Food Processing
• Product Labeling
o Local Merchant Ordinances
• Focus marketing through Minnesota Grown promotions
• Co-op purchasing of market and vendor liability insurance
• Co-op purchasing of promotional advertisements and materials
• Connect farmers and growers with local market entities
• Promote and support acceptance of food assistance benefits such as SNAP, WIC, & FMNP
• Share educational resources and conduct seminars on the varied facets of farmers' markets such
as marketing,vendor procurement,food safety, liability, market management concerns,
customer service, etc.
As a result of our research,City staff has been working on the proposed language with the City Attorney.
We decided that in order to allow farmers markets to exist in our community without making it too
complicated,yet still be controlled;that we would suggest allowing a farmers market as an accessory
use in all zoning districts provided certain regulations can be met. They can only be located on a
residentially zoned property, provided it has an institution on it. An institution is defined as, a public or
private institution includes churches, schools, hospitals and medical clinics.
The next thing we did was develop a Farmers Market definition. That definition is: A temporary,
seasonal,outdoor event that provides an opportunity for the public to buy Minnesota grown fresh
fruits,vegetables,flowers and food products directly from farmers,growers,or producers. Locally
grown products are picked fresh and brought straight to the market and sold by the growers themselves
or locally grown products that are prepared or processed according to guidelines set forth by Minnesota
Department of Agriculture's Food & Dairy Inspection Division in accordance with the Minnesota
Department of Health. Locally crafted specialty items are allowable provided they are not mass
produced. This definition will be added to the definition section of the zoning code.
We also developed a "Farmers Market Event Permit", which is attached for your review,and will be
issued and reviewed and approved by City staff.
Staff has drafted an ordinance that would allow Farmers Market as an accessory use in all zoning
districts, provided certain regulations can be met. The regulations are listed below,with the reasons
why staff and the City Attorney determined the regulations were necessary in bold.
B. Accessory Uses
Farmers Market, provided it meets the following requirements:
(a) Shall be a member of the Minnesota Farmers Market Association or other similar recognized
association of farmers markets and meet all of their respective requirements;
In order for a Farmers Market to be a member of the MFMA,they must meet three criteria. 1.
They need to be a community farmers market that represents three or more growers. 2.They
need to be an established market with by-laws,and a membership dues structure. 3.They
need to sell a majority of Minnesota Grown agricultural products. By requiring that the
Farmers Market is a member of the MRMA or another similar organized association ensures
