City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Minutes October 20, 2020 ion 156.040 Industrial District (I-1); Section 156.144.M.2 Other Standards. . City Administrator Statz explained that the current City code allows outdoor storage, but it is not clear whether or not a principal structure is required in order to use the property for outdoor storage, and there are no restrictions on the amount of storage allowed. In the B-1 district however, storage is restricted to 50% of the building area, and in the B-2 district we allow very minimal outdoor storage. Staff contacted neighboring cities to see what is allowed, and discovered that the City of Lino Lakes has a that we start with a 2.5:1 ratio and create some small changes to the ordinance. City Attorney Kurt Glaser spoke about the changes he made to this ordinance: Outdoor storage needs to be on a lot that adjacent lot), thus eliminating the possibility of someone purchasing a lot only to use it for outdoor storage. Buffer zones for commercial property that abuts residential were found to be more strenuous than those for industrial properties abutting residential. Mr. Glaser applied the more conservative rules to industrial properties. The City code states that having outdoor storage requires a site plan review, but the section on site plan review did not include outdoor storage. Outdoor storage was defined as an accessory use. The ratio of building footprint to outdoor storage is now defined as 2.5:1. City Administrator Statz showed a picture of what a 2.5:1 ratio would like, like and suggested that the commission create a better definition of outdoor storage in the future Considerable discussion ensued regarding various restrictions that might be good to incorporate into an expanded ordinance.
