Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 11, 2010 Page 6 9. General Ordinances for adoption a. Consider an Ordinance Amending Roseville City Code, Section 1007.015 Title 10, Zoning Regulations, to Include a List of Prohibited Uses within all Industrial Districts Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon briefly reviewed the pro- posed ordinance amendment and prohibition of certain uses in Chapter 1007 In- dustrial Districts as detailed in the RCA dated October 11, 2010. Mr. Trudgeon reviewed various goals and policies of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan in the Land Use, Economic Development, and Environmental Protection Chapters emphasiz- ing the need for land use and development that is sensitive to and protective of the City's environmental quality, natural amenities and aesthetics. Mr. Trudgeon noted the list of prohibited uses proposed for amendment (Attach- ment B) and significant discussion raised throughout the process for potential al- ternatives. Mr. Trudgeon advised that staff continued to review those alternatives with merit for integration into the new zoning code still under development.

Councilmember Ihlan suggested clarifying the Use Chart by removing double negatives on the chemical use portion. Mr. Trudgeon noted that this had been brought to staff's attention previously as part of the process and that the correc- tion would be incorporated as part of the new zoning code language. Mayor Klausing requested that the City Attorney speak to affects the proposed ordinance amendment could have on pending applications. City Attorney Charles Bartholdi advised that, under MN State Law in zoning cas- es, recent interpretations had indicated that no developer rights exist until con- struction of improvements are underway, with numerous cases supporting this in- terpretation. Mr. Bartholdi noted that there were several cases where a developer
