ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL— SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 5 <br /> of items, including special requirements for senior housing and the participation of multi-family <br /> housing in the City's rental registration program. <br /> City Planner Beekman noted that staff revised the draft regulations and presented them to the <br /> City Council at their August 20, 2012, work session meeting. The Council provided additional <br /> direction and revisions and directed staff to move forward with a public hearing and Planning <br /> Commission review. Staff also sent the draft regulations to identified stakeholders in the <br /> community and asked for comments. She noted that the comments that were received were <br /> included in the packet for this agenda item. <br /> City Planner Beekman stated that based on stakeholder and City Council comments as well as <br /> interviewing staff at other communities, staff revised the draft regulations and presented them to <br /> the Planning Commission at their September 5, 2012, meeting. She noted that the Planning <br /> Commission reviewed the documents that were presented, held a public hearing, and voted 3-3 to <br /> approve the regulations as submitted. Since a majority vote was not made, the item moved <br /> forward to the City Council without a recommendation from the Planning Commission. <br /> City Planner Beekman explained that the purpose of the Zoning Code amendments is to revise <br /> the review process for multi-family housing. It would allow multi-family housing through a <br /> Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process rather than the current Planned Unit Development (PUD) <br /> process. Staff drafted conditions of approval of a Conditional Use Permit, which also include a <br /> definition for enclosed parking, a revised minimum parking requirement (lowered it to <br /> accommodate for smaller units requiring less parking demands), and creating additional <br /> Conditional Use Permit criteria for multi-family dwellings. <br /> City Planner Beekman noted that within the Zoning Code, additional conditions can be added to <br /> conditional uses. Additional Conditional Use Permit criteria would include: <br /> • Minimum unit sizes of 600 square feet <br /> • Submission of a security plan and lighting plan at the time of development proposal <br /> • A requirement that enclosed parking be provided on a per unit basis <br /> • A requirement that common areas be provided <br /> • A maximum of 15%of efficiency apartments allowed within a specific development <br /> • Minimum bike parking requirements <br /> • A requirement that secured bike parking be provided <br /> • Window covering requirements <br /> City Planner Beekman stated that an applicant may review the Zoning Code and submit an <br /> application in compliance with the Zoning Code regulations through the CUP process. Or, the <br /> applicant may deviate from the minimum requirements in the Zoning Code and request a PUD <br /> process through the City. Through the PUD, the City can grant flexibility, and essentially, the <br /> City and applicant may negotiate on a number of items. Certain aspects of the Zoning Code may <br /> not be met by the application; however, some may be exceeded. The purpose of a PUD is to <br /> achieve a project that is better than could have been achieved if the underlying zoning regulations <br /> were adhered to. <br />
