Case 98-03, City of Arden Hills, Zoning Ordinance - modification (regulating pawnshops) Request. The City of Arden Hills requests approval of an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance which would identify pawnshops as a prohibited use in all zoning districts (Exhibit J). Background. The Planning Commission and Staff have been working on the regulation of pawnshops, gunshops, and sexually oriented businesses for some time now. The discussion on pawnshops has progressed to a point that action is appropriate. These discussions are to be considered incorporated by reference into this report. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance would prohibit pawnshops from operating in the City. The City Attorney has concluded that this activity does not involve constitutionally protected activity and that the State Enabling Legislation provides Cities the flexibility on whether or not to license these activities. Therefore based on this advice, the Plalll1ing Commission directed Staff to prepare an ordinance which would prohibit pawnshops as defined by Minnesota State Statutes from operating within the City. .
