REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DISCUSSION/DIRECTION <br />DATE: OUl2/04 <br />ITEM NO: 6. E. <br />Department Approval: Agenda Section: <br />DPW DISCUSSION <br />Item Description: Amendment to text of Industrial Zoning Districts within City Code <br />Section 1007 (PF3529) <br />1.0 BACKGROUND: <br />l.1 The Planning Commission, Council and staff have been completing a systematic rewrite <br />of outdated portions of the City Code for three past three years. Attached is the draft of an <br />ordinance which would modify the Industrial Zoning District language and format. The <br />new format consolidates the dimensional requirements on one page and also consolidates <br />the land uses allowed in each district into one standard chart, similar to the work that was <br />done earlier for the Residential Zoning Text. One of the obvious advantages is that it <br />reduces the repetitiveness of the Industrial Zoning text by consolidation. In addition, it <br />allows users to view a comparison of what other industrial districts uses might be allowed <br />(or prohibited). No significant changes have been made to the dimensional requirements <br />have been made. <br />1.2 This amendment, to Sections 1007.01 through 1007.04, if passed, would eliminate <br />approximately foriy percent of the duplicated text in this section of the code. For <br />example, uses such as lumber mills, hosiery, hat makers, and ink mixers are no longer <br />germane to the industrial base Roseville has inherited. Many of the current uses can <br />simply be defined more generally as light or general manufacturing or light or general <br />assembly, storage or warehousing. <br />1.3 Staff has added the definitions for each zoning district section, providing a clearer <br />understanding of the uses that should be allowed therein. After the November �'� meeting, <br />using the direction from the Commission, staff has stricken many of the repetitive uses <br />within the charts. <br />2.0 SUGGESTED ACTION: <br />Discussion and direction as needed. <br />Report Prepared by: Dennis Welsch, Com.
