ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION – JUNE 26, 2017 6 <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated she also would like the Council to look further into the finding <br />that certain zoning areas do not match the purpose statement. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung stated he too would like to review the purpose statements in <br />comparison to what is actually thriving currently and potentially amend the Comprehensive Plan <br />if necessary. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant asked Senior Planner Bachler if he understood the direction the Council had <br />provided. <br /> <br />Senior Planner Bachler stated the general direction was that the Council supported creating a <br />separate zoning district exclusively for Bethel and Northwestern. The Council had interest in <br />using the term “college office” but that work needed to be put into the definition of that <br />terminology. He also stated it needed to be determined if the City should develop specific <br />Conditional Use Permit criteria for the “college office” use to provide more control over the <br />nature of the “college office” use. He also indicated staff would research what other communities <br />have done in terms of restricting that use. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant stated that the universities have indicated they are growing and that the City wants <br />to protect its businesses and remain fiscally sound, which speaks to the City’s mission statement. <br /> <br /> <br />2. COUNCIL/STAFF COMMENTS <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br /> <br />ADJOURN <br /> <br />Mayor Grant adjourned the Special City Council Work Session at 6:56 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br />__________________________ __________________________ <br />Julie Hanson David Grant <br />City Clerk Mayor
