ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 8, 2011 10 <br /> <br /> <br />City Planner Beekman stated in January 2011, the City Council approved a number of <br />amendments to the City’s Zoning Code. The purpose of these amendments was to <br />incorporate the TCAAP Zoning Regulations into the rest of the code. In doing so, it was <br />necessary to amend Section 1320.05 of the Zoning Code, which indicates which land <br />uses are allowed in each district. A recent review of the Zoning Regulations made Staff <br />aware of a discrepancy between the language of the Code and the intention of the January <br />2011 amendments. At the present time, the City’s Zoning Regulations allow schools and <br />school-related uses in the R-1 District, but do not specify a minimum lot size for these <br />uses, or define what a campus-style development is. Staff is recommending a Zoning <br />Code Amendment that would add special regulations for school uses in the R-1 District, <br />and specify a minimum lot size for these uses, as well as define what would comprise a <br />campus. She reviewed the proposed language amendments. <br /> <br />Chair Larson opened the floor to Commissioner comments. <br /> <br />Chair Larson opened the public hearing at 7:49 p.m. <br /> <br />Chair Larson invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make <br />comment. <br /> <br />The being no comment Chair Larson closed the public hearing at 7:50 p.m. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zimmerman moved and Commissioner Hames seconded a motion to <br />recommend approval of Planning Case 11-013 to amend Section 1320.04, Subd. 1 <br />and Section 1320.075 to the Zoning Code to regulate school uses in the R1 District, <br />as presented in the June 8, 2011, Planning Case Report.
