City Council Summary Memo — Work Session #3 — Zoning Ordinance Update —August 11, 2025 plumping repair or home cleaning service where employees start and end their shifts at the office but spend much of the day off -site. Research and Development — The City Council questioned why this use is proposed to be allowed in the Conservation District. HKGi notes that it is currently allowed there conditionally but could certainly be prohibited. Personal Services —The current Arden Hills definition of personal services notes that this would typically include things like "apparel tailoring and cleaning; hair styling, trimming and cutting; beauty services; photographic services; and other services of a similar nature." In the proposed use table, dry cleaning is a separate use. A tattoo parlor or other cosmetology service would typically be included in this use category. Construction Contractor Yard — HKGi will remove this use from the table. Data Center — Both the Planning Commission and City Council recommended this use be added to the Principal Use Table. As a current topic of interest by many communities, HKGi will work to gather information about specific standards that are either in place or being considered to manage the impacts of data centers. Storage Facility — HKGi will remove this use from the table. Home Occupation — The City Council discussed this use and is looking for guidance on how to structure regulations so as to allow — in a reasonable fashion — low -impact Home Occupations, but also to provide oversight of certain types of Home Occupations that have the potential to be disruptive to immediate neighbors and to the wider neighborhood. The current approach allows Class I Home Occupations to be approved administratively, but requires Class 11 Home Occupations (those that involve an outside employee, for example, or have patrons visiting the property) to obtain a Conditional Use Permit. HKGi believes this approach unnecessarily creates obstacles by requiring many types of Home Occupations to go through a public process. To the extent possible, standards that limit the potential impacts of traffic, noise, etc., should be written into code and staff should be allowed to approve most uses administratively. Certain targeted types of Home Occupations could be singled out to require a Conditional Use Permit, or even be prohibited as an allowed type of Home Occupation. Storage, Exterior — HKGi will look at what types of standards might be reasonably included in the zoning code to mitigate the visual impacts of exterior storage. If the impacts cannot be mitigated, the accessory use could be removed. Corridor Business vs. Business Park comparison —The City Council questioned if the uses allowed in these two districts overlap too much and is there a danger they become essentially the same district. 6
