Approve Publishing a Summary of Ordinance 2008-010 A2. Community Development Director James Lehnhoff stated that the zoning code changes impact three sections of the Zoning Code. He reviewed the changes for Section 1305.04, Section 1320.04, Section 1320.06, Section 1320.085, and Section 1325.05 Subd. 8. He also reviewed the changes for the Sign Code. He stated that on page 3, the District Requirements Chart, Item 9 should state "Maximum Dwelling Unit — 20". He also clarified that the changes would not affect those businesses that were currently in the B2 District unless they were planning to do development in the future. Councilmember Grant asked if this was the last meeting available before the expiration of the moratorium. Councilmember Holmes stated that the Council had a formal meeting on December 1, 2008. Finance Director Susan Iverson stated that this would not allow enough time for the changes to be published. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated that the summaries needed to be published in order to be considered approved. Councilmember Holden asked if the maximum height of 50 feet for buildings included structures that maybe placed on the tops of buildings. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — November 24, 2008 5 Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated that structures such as air conditioners would need to be included in the 50 feet and that these items would need to be screened in. He also clarified how the maximum height of a building would be calculated to allow for peaked roofs. Councilmember Holden asked what the correlation between the required traffic studies and the density was. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated that all developments would be required to conduct a traffic study unless this was waived by the Council. Councilmember McClung clarified that any development that requires a PUD would require a traffic study unless the Council waived this. Councilmember Holden asked how the 20 units per acre figure was arrived at. Community Development Director Lehnhoff explained that the figure was used by the Civic Center zoning distinct. Mayor Harpstead asked if there were areas in Arden Hills that had more than 12 units per acre. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated that he would have to look into this and get back to the Council. Councilmember Grant asked if a higher density, could be requested in a PUD. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated that a higher density could be requested during the PUD process. Councilmember Holmes suggested on page 3, the District Requirements Chart, the amount for Lot Covered by Structure be changed to 40% and Minimum Landscape Lot Area be changed to 25%. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — November 24, 2008 6 Mayor Harpstead asked Community.' Development Director Lehnhoff if the difference in suggested 50% for lot covered by structure and 15% minimum landscape lot area was to accommodate paved parking. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated that this was correct. Councilmember Holden stated that the minimum landscape lot area should be increased to at least 20%. Councilmember Grant stated that as the amount of required landscape area increases there is more potential for the City to have large areas that are not usable by the City and in undesirable areas. He recommended caution by the Council in recommending a minimum requirement. Mayor Harpstead clarified that most of the businesses in the B2 District currently had around 20% of their lot landscaped. MOTION: Councilmember Holmes moved to amend page 3, the District Requirements Chart, Item 6 to 40% and Item 7 to 25%. There was no second to the motion. The motion failed. MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to amend page 3, the District Requirements Chart, Item 6 to 45% and Item 7 to 20%. Mayor Harpstead stated that all developments would require a PUD and that these would be brought before the Council for approval and they could be altered during the process. Councilmember Grant that 20% for a minimum landscape area would provide more room for the City to negotiate. Community Development Director Lehnhoff stated that Institutional Housing on page 2 should be blacked out because this -will not be permitted in the District. Councilmember Grant asked if Hotel/Motel should be permitted as a Conditional Use.
