I I ~ I I I I I I .. I I I I I I I Ie I Arden Hills Council 5 January 31, 1994 a conforming use under a Special Use Permit. Councilmember Aplikowski stated she would like to see the bus company remain at this location by creating very stringent conditions as part of the Special Use Permit. She further noted it is not fair for a business to go out of business simply because the neighbors don't like the situation. Aplikowski moved, seconded by Probst to amend the Land Use Plan, Page 25, of the Comprehensive Plan to reflect a low density residential rather than industrial use for 1901 West County Road F. To amend Section V, E, Land Use Chart, and create a new use "Bus Terminal" and permit it within the R-1 district by Special Use Permit. Section II, D- definitions: should also be amended to include a new definition for a "Bus Terminal". A bus terminal shall be defined as a building or space engaged in the transportation and activities associated with the transportation of students within the local school district. In addition to the requirements set forth in the ordinance, bus terminals are subject to the following requirements: 1) A bus terminal site must be located within three hundred (300) feet of an existing school; 2) Any terminal located in Arden Hills must have a contract for service with the Mounds View School District #621; 3) A bus terminal site must be located adjacent to both an arterial and collector road and have direct access to one of these roads. This motion is subject to all parties reaching agreement on the conditions for the Special Use Permit and the subsequent approval of the SUP by the Planning commission and City Council. Discussion of the motion followed and Councilmember Malone asked for clarification because we can not issue a Special Use Permit in an R-1 district for a bus terminal because it is not a permitted use. Councilmember Malone clarified that is why the Council was considerating an amendment to the R-1 zoning to allow for a bus terminal under a Special Use Permit. MOTION: Councilmember Malone asked for clarification in that under the Special Use Permit there is no expiration date. The Special Use Permit would go with the property, and the bus terminal would remain a permanent fixture. Fritsinger responded that the Special Use Permit is recorded with the property, not the tenant, and as long as the conditions are met the permit would last
