RES 1988-21 - 00004366u
RESOLUTION NO. 21 - 1988
A RESOLUTION IN FAVOR OF MUNICIPAL ZONING AUTHORITY IN THE
MATTER OF THE LOCATION OF LICENSED RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS
UNDER MINNESOTA STATUTES 1987 SUPPLEMENT, SECTION 245A.11,
SUBDIVISION 3, AND IN OPPOSITION TO CHANGES PROPOSED BY
S.F. NO. 1626 AND H.F. NO. 2154
WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota is a leader in the area of community based
treatment through licensed residential programs; and
WHEREAS, a licensed residential program has the greatest chance of success if
there is a cooperative effort among the agency directing the program, local
residents in the neighborhood, and municipal government officials; and
WHEREAS, local government zoning authority through the process of a special
use permit or a conditional use permit has hitherto been recognized in the law
as a means of assuring proper maintenance and operation of a licensed
residential program; and
WHEREAS, the use of local zoning authority through the process of a special
use permit hearing or a conditional use permit hearing provides a vehicle for
community information and comment and ultimately contributes to the
understanding of licensed residential programs; and
WHEREAS, S.F. No. 1626 and H.F. No. 2154 would eliminate the requirement of a
special use permit or a conditional use permit in multifamily residential
areas for a licensed residential program with a licensed capacity of seven (7)
to sixteen (16) adults.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Fridley that
the City Council express its opposition to the changes proposed in S.F. No.
1626 and H.F. No. 2154 so as to continue and maintain the zoning authority
currently provided for in Minnesota Statutes 1987 Supplement, Section 245A.11,
Subdivision 3.
PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY THIS 7TH DAY OF
MARCH, 1988
