DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT 10/3/2012 (2) Exceptions to all masonry exteriors may be considered and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission provided the following findings are met: (a) The combination of exterior materials is used as an architectural complement to the structure; (b) The combination of exterior materials used is not inconsistent with the quality and appearance used on similar buildings in the same zoning district or neighborhood; (c) Site conditions limit public exposure to certain exterior surfaces where masonry products are not proposed; and (d) An exterior wall may be temporary and a future expansion area of a structure and be subject to removal or redesign as an interior wall. (3) Buildings are required to have contrasting architectural features and must be designed to be aesthetically pleasing. (N) Interim uses in B -1 District. (1) Industrial uses that existed on a site in the I -1 Industrial district as a legal, fully conforming use prior to the site being rezoned from I -1 to B -1, may continue and be expanded on that site as if located in an I -1 District until the use is changed to a use that is permitted in this district. After it is changed to a use permitted the B -1 district, it may not thereafter be used except as permitted in this district. Where the proposed change from I -1 to B -2 has been initiated by the City, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall simultaneously with making such zoning change, determine whether such parcel is a fully conforming industrial use qualifying for interim use status. Where a positive determination is made, the action shall be filed with the Anoka County Recorder.
