At that meeting, Staff was directed to proceed with a review of the B-2 District <br /> design standards and possible revisions that would ensure that the Zoning Code was adequately <br /> regulating development in line with the Guiding Plan for the B-2 District. It was discussed at the <br /> meeting that several developments have occurred, or been proposed, since October of 2008, <br /> when the Guiding Plan, and subsequent Zoning Code Amendments for the B-2 District, were put <br /> into place. The direction given to Staff was to review land use applications since 2008, and the <br /> Zoning Code, to ensure that the design standards reflect the City's vision for the B-2 District. <br /> Staff has begun this work and anticipates proposed Zoning Code amendments in the coming <br /> months. <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> Planning Commission Work Session for June 6, 2012 <br /> P:0anning0anning Cases12012112-011-Zoning Code Amendment-Multi family housing106-06-12- PC Memo-B-2 Ordinance <br /> Amendment.doc <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br />
