Several layouts, with various placements of the building and parking were presented for consideration. Ultimately, the commission landed on acceptance of Option A, which puts the building in the rear of the site, with parking out front. This layout maximizes opportunities for future expansion or drive-thru alternatives. THC Regulations The Minnesota State legislative bodies have each passed their own version of a marijuana legalization bill, which will now be consolidated into one, through a bicameral reconciliation committee. Each version of the bill has slightly different allowances for city cost sharing and regulation authority. Once signed into law, staff will move quickly to formulate recommendations on how to exercise whatever discretion we may have. Amazon Sign Variance The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on a variance request from Amazon.com Services LLC to allow for additional ground-mounted way-finding signage on their campus. No public comments were offered. The Commissioned voted unanimously to recommend approval of the variance by the City Council. The Council will take up the matter at their May 10 meeting.
