MEMORANDUM <br />3.D <br />DATE: <br />June 8, 2011 PC Agenda Item <br /> <br />TO: <br /> Planning Commission <br />FROM: <br />Meagan Beekman, City Planner <br />SUBJECT: Planning Case #10-003 <br /> Applicant: <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Subject: <br />Zoning Code Amendment – School Uses in the R1 District <br />Request <br />Consider approval of Planning Case 11-013 to amend Section 1320.04, Subd. 1 and Add Section <br />1320.075 to the Zoning Code to regulate school uses in the R1 District, as presented in the June <br />8, 2011, Planning Case Report. <br />Background <br />In January 2011, the City Council approved a number of amendments to the City’s Zoning Code. <br />The purpose of these amendments was to incorporate the TCAAP Zoning Regulations into the <br />rest of the Code. In doing so, it was necessary to amend Section 1320.05 of the Zoning Code, <br />which indicates which land uses are allowed in each district. As part of this process, the Land <br />Use Chart was amended to allow higher education uses in the R1 District with an approved <br />Planned Unit Development (PUD). Similarly, General Education uses, such as Valentine Hills <br />Elementary and Mounds View High School, are allowed in the R1 District with an approved <br />Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The reason the Code was amended to allow higher education <br />uses in the R1 District was because Northwestern College is located in the R1 District, and as <br />such was not specifically a permitted use, even though it operates under a Master PUD. <br />Valentine Hills and Mounds View High School operate under CUPs. The City’s Land Use Chart <br />is included as Attachment A. <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for June 8, 2011 <br />\\Metro-inet.us\ardenhills\Planning\Planning Cases\2011\11-013 - R-1 Zoning Amendment (Pending)\06-08-11 - PC Report - R1 ordinance <br />amendment.doc <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
