35 a variety of ways to achive sustainability and what incentives would be provided in exchange 36 for sustainable development practices. 37 October 5, 2022: The Planning Commission reviewed the latest draft of the sustainability 38 incentives worksheet and provided feedback to staff. The Planning Commission also reviewed 39 a spreadsheet regarding the impact of the incentives offered via the worksheet (Attachment E). 40 November 2, 2022: The Planning Commission reviewed the latest revisions to the 41 sustainability incentives worksheet based on feedback obtained during the October meeting. 42 Feedback included confirmation on a limit to the number of incentives a single project could 43 obtain and that a greater number of points should be provided for incorporating bird-safe 44 windows into a project. 45 November 17, 2022: An open house regarding the phase II amendments was held at the City 46 Hall Council Chambers from noon – 6pm. Based on those who signed the sign-in sheet, 47 approximately 25 households attended the open house. Residents who attended were solely 48 interested in the Shoreland Ordinance updates. Staff also managed a webpage informing the 49 public of the phase II update process, including interactive mapping materials and ways to 50 provide feedback. That webpage is still live at www.cityofroseville.com/zoningupdate. Aside 51 from interest in the Shoreland Ordinance, the public has not expressed concerns about the other 52 proposed amendments related to EV and landscaping (Attachment D). 53 December 7, 2022: The Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding the phase II 54 Zoning Code amendments. No persons from the public attended or provided testimony. The 55 Planning Commission recommended the City Council approve amendments to five areas of 56 the Zoning Code, with no further changes, consistent with the Commission’s prior discussions 57 and the staff recommendation. 58 59 The City’s consultant, HKGi, provided a memo summarizing all the areas proposed for amendment 60 (Attachment B). Additionally, they will provide a presentation overviewing the same information 61 (Attachment A). Given the Planning Commission conducted numerous meetings/discussions 62 throughout 2022, which formed much of the proposed amendment language, staff has included the 63 minutes from those meetings should the Council wish to review the content of those discussions 64 (Attachment F). 65 66 Lastly, unlike the amendments proposed with the phase one updates, which were adopted in November 67 of 2021, these updates are not required to align the Zoning Map and Comprehensive Plan. Rather, 68 these updates were undertaken based on a desire to achieve more meaningful progress towards 69 sustainability goals outlined within the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, the desire to update 70 the Shoreland Ordinance to comply with the Mn DNR’s current model ordinance was in response to 71 resident feedback related to the Victoria Shores plat request located on the northwest side of Lake 72 Owasso. Updates to the Shoreland Ordinance must be reveiwed and approved by the Mn DNR, who 73 has signaled acceptance of the current draft (Attachment C). Because the DNR has approval authority 74 over the Shoreland Ordinance update, the City is somewhat limited in what modifications are allowed. 75 76 Staff understands these amendments cover a broad range of code regulations and intends for this 77 discussion to be introductory and summarizing. The above legislative summary and attachments 78 attempt to provide the necessary background information that led to the amendment language 79 recommended by the Planning Commission. Adoption of the amendments would occur at a future 80 meeting once the Council has been given the opportunity to provide feedback to staff. Page 2 of 3
