ATTACHMENT A <br /> March 18, 1997 <br /> Mr. Jim March <br /> City Administrator <br /> City of Centerville <br /> 1880 Main Street <br /> Centerville, MN 55038 <br /> RE: Zoning Ordinance Revisions - Work Scope/Budget <br /> Dear Jim: <br /> We have spoken several times in recent months about potential amendments <br /> to the Zoning Ordinance. You have expressed a desire for additional <br /> clarification for "estate" residential provisions and rezoning options. I have <br /> mentioned several updates t at are necessary to implement the <br /> Comprehensive Plan. I have completed a review of the current ordinance and <br /> offer the following comments and options. <br /> Ordinance No, 4, Centerville Zoning Ordinance, was adopted in 1982. There <br /> have been numerous amendments to the ordinance in the past 15 years. Some <br /> provisions of the ordinance are rather antiquated and the document contains <br /> its share of the "heretofores ", of the typical legalese of the 1960's. The <br /> ordinance is not easy to read, in part because of the language, but also because <br /> of its basic organization and format. <br /> The content of the ordinance includes many of the basic provisions found in <br /> ordinances, but it is missing several essential components and many <br /> mandatory elements. There are references to "conditional use permits <br /> (CUPs);" although, the administrative section refers to "special use permits <br /> (SUPs). CUPS are defined in the ordinance but there is no definition for <br /> SUPS. The ordinance references the "Planning and Zoning Commission" in <br /> some spots and "Planning Commission" in other sections. One PUD section <br /> identifies permitted uses as residential, commercial and community facilities, <br /> while another section references industrial development standards. <br />
