ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — JULY 14, 2025 10 City Administrator Jagoe will verify the language and follow up. Councilmember Weber asked if it makes sense to make it a conditional use in all business districts. City Administrator Jagoe said daycares are allowed, as a conditional use, in residential and house of worship is under residential. She will look into the language for commercial and clean it UP. Councilmember Holden wanted to discuss Storage, exterior. We have always made sure people have stored items out of sight. Councilmember Weber pointed out that they are recommending it "with standards". He is curious what the standards are. Councilmember Holden agreed, that would be helpful. She doesn't want people building something and have all their equipment out there. City Administrator Jagoe said the only standard that we allow exterior storage is for Manufacturing & processing: Class 2, which is limited to the I -Flex District. The consultants mirrored that, to be clear that is accessory to only that use. We aren't going to introduce the Construction contractor yard so the only use that allows the accessory outdoor storage is for manufacturing & processing: Class 2. That's the standard. Councilmember Holden asked if the Primer Tracer is manufacturing 2. City Administrator Jagoe said they would have to request rezoning. Councilmember Holden asked if they are a 2 or a 1. City Administrator Jagoe said part of this discussion is if we want to eliminate I-2. That would leave just I-1 or I -FLEX. They would be the higher I-1. We'll probably have more intense industrial uses where I -FLEX will be the bridge of commercial and industrial. Councilmember Holden is concerned about the undeveloped corner of 694 and 35W. It is hard for anyone to find a place to park their garbage overnight or when they aren't using it. She would not want to see that area become an eye -sore. City Administrator Jagoe said we aren't introducing anything in the Gateway Business District. It would be tied to the manufacturing and processing. She thinks the Primer Tracer end user will come in and ask for the I-1 zoning. Councilmember Holden asked if people could do outdoor storage over by Lexington. City Administrator Jagoe said no. Manufacturing and processing, Class 2 is the only type of use that allows exterior storage. Discussion ensued about where the undeveloped land at 694 and 35W is, that Councilmember Holden brought up.
