For research, staff conducted a survey of other local ordinances and found that Cities of New Brighton, Roseville, Shoreview, Little Canada and Vadnais Heights have language that allows for similar uses with a majority of communities requiring a conditional use permit in at least one commercial zoning district. Parking requirements were also reviewed and fell between one (1) space for every three (3) seats and one (1) space for every four (4) seats. Staff reached out to New Brighton and heard that the primary concerns were proximity to residential neighborhoods and the liquor licensing of vendors. Staff has drafted special requirements for event centers language that considers these potential concerns. The Planning Commission could suggest additional language for the requirements for an event center use related to proximity to residential neighborhoods and parking requirements. The Applicant has requested for the use of an Event Center to be allowed in the B-2 General Business Zoning District through a conditional use permit. The text amendment as drafted would add “Event Center” as a use permitted by a conditional use permit in the B-2 District and would add additional criteria to Section 1320.085 Special Requirements for the B-2 General Business District. The Planning Commission may consider adding the Event Center use permitted by a conditional use permit to additional zoning districts. If identified as an amendment, the Special Requirements could be moved from Section 1320.085 and added to General Regulations in a new Section 1325.047 titled Event Center Additional Conditional Use Permit Criteria. The requirements would then be applicable to the zoning districts that the Planning Commission recommends an Event Center be permitted by conditional use permit. The following are items identified by staff that the Planning Commission may wish to discuss and consider: • Zoning Districts • Permitted hours of operation in the ordinance. • Permitted maximum occupancy in the ordinance. • Specifying if outdoor space is permitted for an event center and if there would be additional requirements.
