You may also submit comments at info@centervillemn.com Temporary Dwellings and Structures The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed Temporary Dwellings and Structures at their meeting on January 17, 2022. This ordinance deals with the occupancy of things like RVÓs and tents. The cityÓs current ordinance does not allow occupancy of these, for any length of time. The commission is considering: For RVs Stay up to 14 days/year/parcel w/no winter stays No exchange of money allowed Must have principal structure on lot Must be parked in driveway Self-service permit required For Tents Limited stays No permits necessary Parking Restrictions The Commission is considering amending language of the current City Code regarding parking requirements, including restrictions on parking overnight, during snow events and review of all existing areas designated Ðno parkingÑ with the possibility of adding additional areas. THC Regulations Centerville, along with many cities across the state, issued a moratorium on the sale of THC products after the state legalized edibles in July of 2022, with few restrictions. Those included: 21+ to purchase; no marketing to children Max 5 mg/serving, max 50 mg/package As required by a moratorium, the city is studying the issue by talking with our law enforcement and school officials, watching what other cities are doing to see what is working and what is not, and soliciting input from the public. Some of the regulations other cities are considering include: Behind-the-counter sales Licensing w/background checks Buffers around schools and daycares No mobile or vending machine sales As always, you may submit any thoughts you have on the issue through info@centervillemn.com or keep an eye out for a public hearing and other opportunities to weigh in.
