Special Planning Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – Wednesday, September 17, 2015 <br />Page 8 <br />Member Murphy stated his preference for leaving it as P use. <br />345 <br />By consensus, this category remained as currently shown. <br />346 <br />Liquor Store <br />347 <br />Chair Boguszewski suggested NP for this buffer zone; with consensus of the body NP for CMU-1 <br />348 <br />designated areas. <br />349 <br />Further discussion ensued as to whether or not to change to NP in CMU-2 subareas with more <br />350 <br />neighborhood-centered areas and those closer to the lake, while CMU-3 and 4 areas were of less <br />351 <br />concern; but recognizing the potential for wine shows and/or liquor store addendum’s to a grocery <br />352 <br />store use. <br />353 <br />Lodging (hotel) <br />354 <br />Member Bull asked why this was designated N NP use in CMU-3 subareas. <br />355 <br />Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Bilotta could not recall specifically the rationale for this, but suspected it may be <br />356 <br />based on City Council input and the thinking that hotels tended to gravitate to major roads. <br />357 <br />Member Murphy opined that he thought of hotels more in CMU-4 areas. <br />358 <br />Member Bull noted they had the same height restrictions as CMU-3 or CMU-4 areas; with Mr. <br />359 <br />Lloyd noting that this was consistent with the remainder of CMU-2, 3 and 4 height restrictions <br />360 <br />outside the buffer area. <br />361 <br />By consensus, the Commission determined to revise the use to P for CMU-3 to match <br />362 <br />CMU-4 designations. <br />363 <br />Mortuary/Funeral Home <br />364 <br />Member Bull suggested CU across the board to ensure what type of business was involved (e.g. <br />365 <br />crematoriums), opining the industry may be significantly different five years from now. <br />366 <br />At the request of Member Murphy, Mr. Paschke clarified that a crematory is not permitted in a <br />367 <br />mortuary use. <br />368 <br />While not understanding the business in totality, in his review of text and definitions, Member <br />369 <br />Murphy stated that he saw no reason to make it a CU, given standard hours of operation and <br />370 <br />delivery of bodies already addressed, with peak traffic only during viewing times and usually not <br />371 <br />disruptive in nature. <br />372 <br />Mr. Paschke noted two such existing uses were located in very close proximity to residential <br />373 <br />properties (e.g. off County Road B and Dale Street in HDR zone) and one off Hamline Avenue <br />374 <br />and Commerce Street by the Macy’s Home Store). <br />375 <br />Consensus of the Commission was to leave it as a P use. <br />376 <br />Motor Fuel Sales (Gas Station) <br />377 <br />By consensus, the Commission changed this to NP for CMU-1 designations. <br />378 <br />Motor Vehicle Rental/Leasing <br />379 <br />Member Murphy questioned if this use was addressed by Item 6 on page 16 as previously <br />380 <br />addressed. <br />381 <br />Mr. Lloyd agreed that it was presumably and involved dropping off vehicles versus running <br />382 <br />automobiles; with Mr. Paschke clarifying that unless operating near an airport, there generally <br />383 <br />wasn’t much traffic noise from rental uses. <br />384 <br />Chair Boguszewski opined that he could see the entire motor vehicle section moving to NP for <br />385 <br />CMU-1. <br />386 <br />Movie Theater <br />387 <br />At the suggestion of Member Murphy, the body decided by consensus to make this a NP use in <br />388 <br />CMU-1 designated areas. <br />389 <br /> <br />
