Johnson moved, Pust seconded, enactment of Ordinance No. 1403 (Attachment E) entitled, "An Ordinance Amending Title 10, Zoning Ordinance, of the City Code Eliminating and/or Replacing in their entirety Sections 1001 (General Pro- visions), 1002 (Rules and Definitions), 1003 (Zoning Districts and Maps), 1004 (Residence Districts), 1005 (Business Districts), 1006 (Shopping Center District), 1007 (Industrial Districts), 1008 (Planned Unit Developments), 1009 (Overlay Districts), 1011 (Design Standards), 1012 (Non- Conforming Uses), 1013 (General Regulations), 1014 (Conditional Use Permits; Variances), 1015 (Administration), 1016 (Amendments), and 1019 (Parking Requirements within the City of Rose- ville), of the City Code;" for the City of Roseville, MN as amended. Councilmember Ihlan reiterated her concerns that there remained so many things needing review; and recognized public comment regarding design standards across the board that were too restrictive and allowed insufficient flexibly or room for innovation. Councilmember Ihlan noted that there had been no discussion about housing design standards in the new document (e.g. garage fronts); and opined that future discussion and consideration was needed to create reasonable regulations for people to design themselves. Councilmember Ihlan opined that a "lame duck" City Council should not adopt the zoning code to carry forward without having more detailed discussion. Mayor Klausing spoke in support of the motion; noting the extensive discussions and revisions through staff, consultants, Planning Commission; public hearings; City Council discussion; and the numerous community open houses and oppor- tunities for public input. Mayor Klausing opined that this was not being done on the spur of the moment without vast study having gone into the process; and as previously noted, remained a living document that would require further revisions for future City Councils to work through. Mayor Klausing opined that this pro- vided a good initial framework. Ihlan moved amendment to the INDUSTRIAL USES CHART to add back into the list of prohibited industrial uses, glue factories, sizing factories, and electrical transmission and power substations; and to include a straightforward prohibition against uses involving noxious chemicals. Mayor Klausing declared the motion failed due to lack of a second. Ihlan restated the motion; which Mayor Klausing declared failed due to lack of a second.
