<br />City of Arden Hills Chapter 13 Zoning Code <br /> <br />estimated cost, as determined by the City Engineer, of improvements to be <br />constructed in accordance with the permit to insure completion thereof <br />within the time limit specified in the permit. The conditions so imposed <br />by the Council shall be specifically stated in the permit and maybe subject <br />to periodic review as determined by the Council. The violation of any <br />special or general condition set forth in a conditional use permit shall <br />constitute a violation of this Code. <br /> <br />H. Permit for Particular Site. A conditional use permit is granted for a <br />specific use at a specific site, not for a person or firm. <br /> <br />1. Designated Uses. Uses for which conditional use permits are required <br />and the zoning districts in which they are allowed are designated in the <br />land use chart as set forth in Section 1320 hereof. No building permit <br />shall be issued for any use in a zoning district which requires the issuance <br />of a conditional use permit before it can be located in the particular <br />district, until after the conditional use permit has been granted by the <br />Council. <br /> <br />J. Discontinuance of a Conditional Use. If the use for which any <br />conditional use permit has been granted has ceased or has been <br />discontinued for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days, the permit shall <br />automatically expire and become void at the end of such ninety-day <br />period. <br /> <br />Subd. 4 Variances. <br /> <br />A. Public Hearing. A public hearing is not required but neighboring <br />property owners shall be notified. <br /> <br />B. Action to Approve. A majority vote of the Council is required for <br />action to grant a variance. <br /> <br />C. Intent and Purpose. Variances from the literal prOVISions of the <br />Zoning Code may be granted in instances where the strict enforcement <br />would cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the <br />individual property under consideration. Variances shall only be granted <br />when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit <br />and intent of the Code. "Undue hardship," as used in connection with the <br />granting of a variance, means the property in question cannot be put to a <br />reasonable use under conditions permitted by the Zoning Code, the plight <br />of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not <br />created by the landowner, and the variance, if granted, will not alter the <br />essential character of the locality. Economic considerations alone shall <br />not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use for the property exists <br />under the terms of the Code. <br /> <br />April 14,2008 <br />Page 6 of 13 <br />
