IV.PUBLIC HEARINGS (6:34 PM or shortly thereafter) None V.AWARDS, PRESENTATIONS, APPEARANES None VI.OLD BUSINESS 1.Review of Designated No Parking Areas Administrator Statz opened the discussion about designated no parking areas, noting that there is no legal reason the city would need to designate no parking areas. Designated no parking areas are typically adopted as a requirement of state aid highway and county aid highway funding that is available in cities with populations over 5,000. The reason the P&Z is reviewing designated no parking areas is because the city has designated no parking areas in the past; itÓs also timely to review these areas with the recent reconstruction of downtown. Administrator Statz reviewed the Page 1 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission November 1, 2022 no parking areas listed provided in the packet, noting any changes. The list will be updated and brought back to the Commission for further consideration. VII. NEW BUSINESS 1. Ordinance Review - §156.104 Temporary Dwellings & Structures Assistant Administrator Lewis opened the discussion on Chapter 156.104 of the Zoning Ordinance, noting that the Commission discussed the ordinance in 2020 and there has been renewed interest in occupying temporary dwellings over the last couple of months. Assistant Administrator Lewis reviewed what the cities of Lino Lakes, Hugo, Circle Pines and Lexington are allowing, as well as concerns raised by staff (safety, enforcement, permitting, public health). Assistant Administrator Lewis also reviewed a draft of proposed language (red-lined version). Discussion ensued and points of interest include registration, type of structure (tent versus recreational vehicle), length of time, permitting, compliance and non-compliance. The consensus is that the board supports allowing overnight stays in recreational vehicles for a short period of time (14 days). The Commission would, however, like to ensure the ordinance has strong language around enforcement, proper notification to the city, compliance, and orderly conduct. Staff will discuss the ordinance internally and present another draft to the Commission for their review at the December P&Z meeting. The Commission will hold a public hearing on this ordinance in the near future. Motion by Commissioner Olson, seconded by Commissioner Nelson to call for a public hearing on the ordinance. All in favor. Motion carried. There was a friendly amendment to the motion to have the public hearing at the next available time Î public hearings require public notice requirements.
