PLANNING CASE #98-36 - CITY OF ARDEN HILLS - ADULT USE ORDINANCE- DISCUSSION Mr. Ringwald explained that Staff and tlJe City Attorney, John Miller, request tlJat the Planning Commission review and discuss tlJe draft Ordinance for adult uses. The City Council, on March 9, 1998, adopted Ordinance #305 placing a one-year moratorium on tlJe sitting of adult use establishments within tlJe City of Arden Hills. The City Council, in Section 3 of that Ordinance, directed Staff to conduct a study and forward tlJe conclusions oftlJat study to the Planning Commission for its consideration. e Mr. Ringwald stated tlJat the agenda packet included information which goes through everything Staff could find related to adult use. These items include newspaper clippings, court case decisions and City Codes. Additionally, tlJe packet included studies from Indianapolis, St. Paul and Phoenix, State Attorney General's report, as well as others. Staff intends to base tlJe Ordinance on these studies and reports. One item which needs to be taken into account when dealing with this type of use is cause and aeffect. The Courts have generally upheld tlJat otlJer people's studies can be utilized when making findings since tlJe City can reasonably assume iliat ... the same conditions would occur within its jurisdiction. ., Also included in tlJe agenda packet was a color map of the City of Arden Hills which shows all tlJe Residential Zoning Districts within the City. The map highlights the B-1 and B-4 Zoning Districts and depicts the 1000- foot buffer from these areas, as outlined in the draft Ordinance.
