' TYPES OF COMMERICALj
IAIDUSR'RIAL) DISPRICPS:
Mr. RoCertson, Comm�mity Develognent Directcr, stated several questions were
raised rer�rding this proposed ordinance at the �blic hearinq. He stated
the first q�stiom m�oerned the definition of a drive-in restaurant. He
stated the definition is very restrictive and is meant to apply to the
traditional drive-in where there are car hops and food is ser�ed and
mnsuned Y� customers waiting in a�rked car. He stated this tyge of
establishment would not be allowed in these industrial districts. Mr.
Robert�on stated food establishments such as McDOnald's, Burger King, or
Hardee's are rbt classified as a typical dri.ve-u7 and would be allawed �mder
a Q ass I or Q ass II restaurant in an indu�trial district with a special
use permit. He stated the reason for the sixcial use permit process would
be to determine if ariy traffic or farking problens would be createci.
Mr. Robertson stated the seoond queution rai:;ed was who would inform any
potential aotmnercial. ter�nts of the industrial zone. He stated the Plamm�c�
Co�nisson felt that the chvrets of the property should inform a tenant tc
relieve the City of any e�ress liability. He stated this req m rement is
written ittto the ordinance, and on an informal L�sis the staff would notify
each busiress of the zoninq with their buildi.ng permit apglication,
Mr. Rak�ertson stated the third question raised was the distirictien between
' the 20 peroent and 30 percent oommercial occupancy �tegories. He stated in
the 20 peroent occuFancy, tYie ordinance e�licitly states that retail uses
intended to be supplemental to the district are allowed with a blanket
-4-
�e� ;.b�:bai
' � 7i Y •� I� ul i1Y � • �Il/�lul• • ••
� special use permit. He stated commercial. establishments, beyond thase
supplenental to the district, would require individual review through a
special use permit. He stated this type of busxness would potentially draw
fran a wic�r market and produoe greater Farking and traffic burdens. He
stated this type of use would be permitted up to 5,000 square feet for z
business and up to 30 peroent accwnulative total oommercial occup�ncy.
Cotmcilman Schneider stated he dich't tmderstand why there is a difference
whetl�er a business serves the immediate area or a larger zrea and wkr� the 20
pereerit and 30 per�nt categories.
Mr. Robertsan stated, for instance, if the 20 percent occupancy has been
filled in an industrial oomplex and then another commercial esta6lishment
requested they be allo�ved to locate in this compl�x, the 30 percent
eccug�ncy pravision would allcw the Coimcil to mnsider this re�uest.
Coimcilman FYtzFatrick stated it seems the �eople most affectec� by this
proposed ordinance were in favor of it f rom oomments made at the public
he�ring.
Coimcilman Schneider stated he wasn't opposecl to commerical uses in an
industrial area. He stated his probl�+ is considering the special use
permit and if a business would or would not sexve as a suppl enental to the
industrial distcict,
� Mr. Billings, Chaixman of the Planning Commission, stated if a developer
applies for a special use permit to set aside 20 percent of his industrial
sFace for mmmerical use, staff makes a deterntination if the business would
be appropriate as a supplenental use to the industrial district. He stated
if someone wished to locate a mmmerical use that wasn't supplanental to the
industrial district, this ra�uest would be sukmitted. tc the Caimcil.
NDTION LX Co�mcilman Fitz�atrick to wa�.ve the first reac3ing and approve the
ordir�noe upon first reading. Sewnded ty Councilman Goods�ed. Ugan a
voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried

means of the lot split, He stated if the lot sglit is approved, the owner
of Lot 5 would sell his portion of Lot 6 to the aaner of Lot 7 so it is all

or implanented tr� ths District ne� year.
Mr. Flora stated the R(YTD Board of l�nagers have irrformed one resideat, Mr,
Lhvid Harris, 470 Rioe Creek Boulevard, he is to obtain City (b�mcil support
of an imprwenent project to renwe sedimentation along hiN property on Rice
Creek. He stated the original plan was for the District to advertise the
progr� and establish a period for cities to reoeive sulanissions, establish
a priaiity, and transnit then to the District for mnsicleration and f�md�.ng.
He stated Mr. Harris has requested the City aprxove hi� project and sutsnit
it to the Rice Creek Water:dxed District for fimding. He stated unless the
Coimcil has arty �articular plans, he woulc� suggest Ms. Harris' s request be
foxwarc7ed to the Rioe Creek Watershed District for their wnsideration,
without any mmment.
Coimcilman Schneider stated he has no probl�n in forwarding this request,
taut if the RQ4D isn't going to advertise the program, an article should
proL�bly be in the City's newsletter advising residents that anyone with a
problen should oontact the Rioe Creek Watersheci Distric�.
Mr. E'lora stated, at this time, he cbesn't Imow what ftmds are available for
these projects. He stated the Redevelopnent Plan is on hold and will be
� reviewed b� the N3etrop�litan Cntmcil and other govecmnental agencies for
approval. He stated he would be meeting with member� of the watershed
District tanorrv,u and may learn more a�out the status of this plan.
Councilman Fitzp�trick stated one of the problems is the matter of
prioritizing projects if apFilications are received from �11 those persons
living on the creek. He stated as for the s�.lt, this has been a problem on
Locke Lake forever.
Mr. Flora stateci Mr. Harris's petition is only a snall Fart of a much larger
problen. He stated what Mr, Harris is proposing is tc have the material
renc�ved and relocated to other areas.
Mr. N�vman, City Attorney, stated one of the concerns of residents along the
creek was the munber of pexmits needed in order fox them to txy and
eliminate some of the erosion problens. He felt if it was made easier for
then to take wrrective m�sures and methods were proposed for the re�idents
to follaa, a lot of these prcjects would be done hy the residents
thenselves.
(bimcilwanan Sorgenson asked if the silt was removed from Mr. Harris's
proFexty, if it would incxease the flaa anc� cause mare erosion.
Mr. F7.ora stated it is hard to say, but the creek is mn�tantly moving and
if dirt is renoved, another Fsth will be macle. He felt the RCWD has the
' moc3el of the eritire watershed and is able ta determine flaas. He felt they
could advise on acceptable flows and deterniine problem areas where
mrrective measures should be taken immediately. Mr. Flora stated the
