The City docs not have a specific set of review criteria for evaluating a Zoning <br /> Ordinance addition; however, the primary issues to consider inelude (but are not limited to): <br /> 1. ]s the proposed use compatible with the other uses in the 8-4 Zone? <br /> 2. How will the proposed use affect the 8-4 Zone? <br /> 3. ]f allowed, should the proposed use be a permitted use or a special use? <br /> While the stated purpose of the 8-4 Zoning District is retail focused, there is relatively little <br /> traditional retail activity in the 8-4 Zone and significantly less traffic than the neighboring 8-3 <br /> Zone where there is a concentration of retail activity. Most of the existing uses in the 8-4 Zone <br /> are office or service based with warehousing as an accessory lise. A full list of pemlitted, <br />. special, and accessory uses in the 8-4 Zone is in Attachment 38-2. <br /> When reviewing a Zoning Ordinance amendment or addition, it is important to consider how the <br /> change would affect the entire zone instead of one specific property. ]f approved as proposed, <br /> higher or special education could be a permitted use on any property in the 8-4 Zone. Overall, <br /> higher or special education is unlikely to have a negative impact on the 8-4 Zone. Except for <br /> potentially different traffic patterns and parking requirements, higher or special education <br /> settings are often quite similar to office settings. <br /> While there may not he a significant negative impact from higher or special education, there is <br /> the potential for higher or special education uses to affect traffic patterns and/or parking. The <br /> special use pemlit process is designed to ensure that parking, traffic movement, and other <br /> potential negative impacts of a special use are mitigated as much as practical. It should also be <br /> noted that educational uses are designated as special uses or required to be paIt of a planned unit <br /> development in the other zones where educational uses are allowed. <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> Planning Commission !vfeetingjor Nfay 3, 2()()6 <br />. \\Metro-inct.us\ardenhills\Planning\Planning Cascs\2006\06-015 Education Ordinance amendment\042006 - PC repan - 1212lk onJimmcc <br /> arneuomenLdoc Page 3 of 4 <br />
