Regular City Council Meeting Monday, December 06, 2010 Page 21 management; 1018 erosion and sedimentation; and 1020 sexually oriented uses. Mr. Trudgeon noted that, in an effort to keep the chapters in the rewrite as consis- tent to the previous zoning code, there were some gaps as chapter numbers were kept for familiarity; and that the number gaps would be reserved for future amendments. Mr. Trudgeon noted that the Official Zoning map was also part of this rewrite consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, in accordance with State Law; further noting that, as part of that map revision process, numerous and previously identified anomaly properties had been brought forward to the City Council. Mr. Trudgeon advised that, while the entire City was being rezoned as part of this process, most only were related to different names to existing zoning districts, and that the zoning map would indicate those districts and be part of the adoption of the zoning text. Proposed Zoning Districts were identified in the presentation, including what ex- isting districts they simplified, combined or conformed. Staff noted that no prop- erties were currently proposed as HDR -2 on the zoning map, but was included to provide for more dense housing for an urban environment based on guidance of the Comprehensive Plan and mandate for increased housing density by the Met- ropolitan Council. Staff noted that including this district should not cause con- cern for citizens, as any proposals would need to be fully vetted through City Council policy provisions and the planning application process; reiterating that nothing on the zoning map was currently zoned or designated HDR -2.
