Zoning Code Amendment, Application December 1, 2010 Property Owner: Independent School District 621 2959 Hamline Avenue North Roseville, MN 55113 Location of Project: Mounds View High School 1900 Lake Valentine Road Arden Hills, MN 55113 Property Legal Description: Part of Se Of Sw Lying SIy Of C/I Of County Road F (subj To Rd, hwy Esmts In Sec 21 Tn 30 Rn23 In Sd Sec 28 Tn 30 Rn 23 W 400 Ft Of Nw 1 /4 Of Ne Lying SIy Of CI Of County Road F Together With Ne Y4 Of Nw (subj To Rd Esmts) In Sec 28 Tn 30 Rn 23 STORAGE TICKET SALES BUILDING NARRATIVE The Independent School District 621 is requesting an approval of an Amendment to the Zoning Code to allow accessory structures for non residential uses within residential zoning district to exceed the current dimensional limitations (1,458 SF) without the issuance of a variance. Chapter 13, Section 1325.01, Subdivision 7 of the Arden Hills Zoning Code states the following: Subd. 7 Accessory Structures in Exceptional and Unusual Circumstances in all Zoning Districts. Deviations from these requirements may be permitted after Planning Commission review and City Council approval of a site plan in accordance with Section 1355.04 Subd 5 and with documentation showing the unusual circumstances justifying the proposed deviation and plans for the proposed accessory structure. Under no circumstances shall the total floor area of an accessory structure in the R -1, R -2, and R -3 district exceed one thousand four hundred and fifty- eight (1,458) square feet without an approved variance that meets the requirements of Section 1355.04 Subd 4. Currently Mounds View High School, a 'School, General Education' use, is located within the R -1 Single Family Residential Zoning District through the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit (approved Planning Case 84 -001). It appears that the intent of Chapter 13, Section 1325.01, Subdivision 7 is to limit the size of an accessory structure on residential Tots that are used for residential uses. The Independent School District 621 is proposing to construct a Storage Ticket Sales Building on the Mounds View High School site located at 1900 Lake Valentine Road. The proposed building is approximately 1,787 square feet. A portion of the building will be used for ticket sales to sporting events, while the remainder of the building will be used for storage of maintenance and athletic equipment. While this site is located in a residential zoning district, it is not used in the same manner as a residential use and seems that it should not be held to the same size limitations as a single family residential use. Therefore, the School District is requesting an amendment to Chapter 13, Section 1325.01 to allow accessory structure for non- residential uses within residential zoning district to exceed the current dimensional limitation (1,458 SF) without the issuance of a variance. The underlined text shows the proposed additions. Please modify as you see fit.
