<br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 23 PUBLIC COMMENT: <br /> <br />Al Sands, 2612 Aldine, Roseville, MN. 55113 <br /> <br />I WANT TO CALL YOUR AND THE PUBLIC'S ATTENTION TO A DRAFTING <br /> <br /> <br />ERROR IN THE CITY'S ORDNANCES DEALING WITH LAND USE IN THE B-6 <br /> <br /> <br />ZONE. (Map) <br /> <br /> <br />Note that the Twin Lakes Map, a planned PUD with and underlying B-6 zone <br /> <br /> <br />upon completion of a PUD, is the City's current Comprehensive Plan for this area. Also <br /> <br /> <br />note the "service mix" in the lower left hand corner of 15 acres. Then also note what is <br /> <br /> <br />expected to go into this area by reference to the description on the Map: Hotels, <br /> <br /> <br />daycare, fitness, bank, and restaurant mix. Especially note the reference to "mix". <br /> <br />Then, going to the Zoning ordnance at 1005.07 (C), there is no similar item listed <br /> <br /> <br />as a permitted use. Instead item C. 9 lists "retail". That is the drafting error I refer to. <br /> <br /> <br />By listing it as "retail", the courts seem to say that any type of retail, and to any extent, <br /> <br /> <br />can be a permitted use. The city has to be more specific in its zoning ordnance; otherwise <br /> <br /> <br />we could wind up with another shopping center, or big box, instead of the intended <br /> <br />'.service mix", <br /> <br />Also, in Ordnance 1005.015, some items that would fit well in a "service mix" are <br /> <br /> <br />not listed, and some items that I think are a bad fit, are listed. Since this requires a PUD, <br /> <br /> <br />all items listed need to be so restricted. Restaurants apparently do not require a PUD. <br />
