Background At their February 21st work session, the City Council had a preliminary discussion on if, or how, City ordinances may be restrictive to residents wanting to remodel or add -on to their home. City staff was directed to survey neighboring cities to compare Arden Hills' residential setback requirements. Additionally, city staff was asked to assemble a list of previously identified code amendments to allow for further Council discussion to occur on the prioritization of amendment reviews. City staff brought back the requested information to the City Council at their April 17th meeting. Staff provide a list of ordinance amendments that were previously tasked to proceed directly to the Planning Commission for the first review once a Senior Planner was onboard and as staff time allowed. While others would need to be brought back to the City Council for further discussion and direction at a future work session. Below is the list of ordinance amendments that were part of the City Council work session discussion: Page 1 of 3
