BACKGROUND
The Planning Department initiates an annual review of the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision
Ordinance and/or City Code to address issues identified in the course of ongoing administration
of the City’s development regulations and review of development applications. A work session
has been scheduled for 5 January 2017 to discuss the list of topics compiled by City staff in 2016
and receive direction from the Planning Commission as to possible amendments.
Exhibits:
A. Electronic Variable Message Signage Issues Paper from the FHWA
B. Memorandum dated June 23, 2016 regarding Temporary Health Care Dwellings
C. U of M Survey of Bee Keeping Ordinances
D. December 22, 2016 e-mail concerning honey bees
ANALYSIS
Dynamic Display Signs. The City adopted zoning ordinance and business licensing standards for
the placement and operation, respectively of dynamic display signs in 2012. Regulations on
the area, height, construction and location of dynamic display signs are established by Section
11-23-15.T.2 of the Zoning Ordinance and regulations for the operation of the signs, including
the type of electronic display and rate of change are established by Section 3-22-7 of the City
Code administered as a business license. These provisions were reviewed again in 2016 and
the rate of change for electronic signs was reduced by the City Council from once every 60
2
seconds to once every seven seconds based in large part on information from the United States
Sign Council (USSC), which is a representative of the sign industry, submitted by a local business
owner. The Planning Commission recommended to the City Council that the rate of change be
reduced to once every 30 seconds due to traffic safety and community aesthetic concerns with
the potential for multiple dynamic display signs located in close proximity along major
commercial corridors. At their 21 March 2016 meeting, the City Council directed that the
Planning Commission again review the operational regulations for dynamic display signs with
the next Zoning Ordinance update.
The function of the requirement for a single display frame and time limit is based on
recommendations of the attached Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) report entitled
Issues in the Regulation of Commercial Electronic Message Signage (CEVMS). The FHWA report
states that regulations for dynamic display signs should minimize the visual attention that a
driver of a vehicle passing the sign will need to observe the sign in order to minimize potential
impacts to traffic safety. Because the City Code allows dynamic display signs to include both
text and graphics, there is a wide range of information that could be conveyed by the sign by
each individual user. A message that includes animation versus the current allowance of a
static display will require greater visual attention of a driver for a longer period of time,
referred to as the total length of the information cycle, and increase the potential impacts to
traffic safety. The FHWA recommends that animation or scrolling displays be prohibited. The
effectiveness of any sign will be based on its legibility for the viewer to make out symbols and
readability for the viewer to understand what the sign is communicating. As such, the FHWA
also recommends that the rate of change for electronic signs displaying three lines of text be no
less than once every 15 seconds. Requiring use of static displays was a primary concern of the
Planning Commission when it recommended the allowance of dynamic display signs in 2012
and when it reviewed the performance standards in 2016.
Deck setbacks. The City has seen an increasing number of proposals for decks attached to the
principal dwelling that would encroach into the required rear yard setback. The minimum rear
yard setback for single family dwellings within the RS-1, RS-2, RS-3 and RS-CBD District is 30
feet. The minimum rear yard setback for the RS-4 District is 20 feet following an amendment in
2015 to reduce the required setback from 30 feet. The purpose of the rear yard setback is to
allow for separation of principal dwellings across rear yards and provide usable open space for
outdoor recreation. In that an attached deck provides for usable outdoor space accessory to
the principal dwelling, allowing a deck to encroach into the rear yard where a 30 foot setback is
currently required is appropriate. City staff proposes the following amendment to Section 11-
17-11.A of the Zoning Ordinance:
2. Terraces, steps, decks, stoops or similar structures:
a. For lots of record or preliminary platted lots established prior
to March 17, 2003: Except as may be limited within
environmental protection districts, terraces, steps, decks,
stoops or similar structures constructed to the height of the
ground floor of the principal structure may extend up to five
3
feet (5') of a side yard lot line or ten feet (10') of a rear yard
lot line, but not more than five feet (5') into a required front
yard or side yard adjacent to a public right of way.
b. For lots of record or preliminary platted lots established after
March 17, 2003: Except as may be limited within
environmental protection districts the required side yard and
rear yard setbacks for terraces, steps, decks, and stoops
that are thirty inches (30") or less above grade shall be:
(1) Side yard: Five feet (5'), but not encroaching more
than five feet (5') into the required side yard adjacent
to a public right of way.
(2) Rear yard: Ten feet (10').
c. Except as may be limited within environmental protection
districts, the required rear yard setbacks for steps, decks,
and stoops that are more than thirty inches (30") above
grade shall be twenty feet (20’).
Unsewered Lots. Section 11-17-19 of the Zoning Ordinance establishes a minimum 10 acre
area requirement for lots were public sewer is not available. The minimum area requirement,
together with a minimum lot width requirement of 300 feet, for unsewered lots was adopted
by the City on November 7, 1977. Any lot existing upon this date with an area or width less
than required by the City ordinance would be regulated as a non-conforming lot. However,
until the early 1980s, Dakota County would allow a property owner to subdivide a parcel by
submitting a survey and legal description without requiring verification of City approval. At
least one lot, PID 22-13600-00-43 located south of the Lakeville/Burnsville boundary and west
of Judicial Road owned by Mr. Glenn Klotz, was subdivided in 1980 without complying with the
minimum lot standards adopted by the City, which results in a forfeit of the property’s legal
non-conforming status. In order to address the past actions of recording subdivisions without
City approval, City staff recommends amending the effective date of the minimum area
requirement for unsewered lots as follows:
2. The minimum lot size of ten (10) acres shall not apply to smaller
separate parcels of record in separate ownership lawfully existing
prior to November 7, 1977January 1, 1984, provided that they
comply with minimum standards for the district in which they are
located or Chapter 15 of this Title and that it can be demonstrated
by means satisfactory to the City that the smaller parcels will not
result in groundwater, soil or other contamination which may
endanger the public health.
4
Accessory Buildings - Number. Section 11-18-7.A of the Zoning Ordinance limits the number
of detached accessory buildings for single family uses to one plus an attached or detached
garage. Exceptions to this limit are allowed by conditional use permit. In that many single
family lots will include a play structure, gazebo or similar open structure, the limit on the
number of accessory buildings would require a property owner to undertake the time and
expense of a conditional use permit process to be able to have a storage shed. City staff
recommends amending the Zoning Ordinance to allow for a second accessory structure on a lot
without approval of a CUP provided that the structure is open and less than 200 square feet in
area:
A. Conditional Use Permit Required: No building permit shall be
issued for the construction of more than one detached accessory
building on a single parcel in addition to one private garage
(attached or detached), except by conditional use permit. Number
Allowed:
1. There shall not be more than one (1) detached accessory
building larger than two hundred (200) square feet on a lot in
addition to one (1) attached or detached garage.
2. One (1) unenclosed structure, such as play equipment or a
gazebo, with a footprint less than two hundred (200) square
feet shall be allowed in addition to the number of accessory
buildings allowed by Section 11-18-7.A.1 of this Chapter.
3. Accessory buildings greater than allowed by this Section
may be allowed by approval of a conditional use permit.
Accessory Buildings – Sewer. City staff is asking the Planning Commission to consider a
provision added to Section 11-18-7 of the Zoning Ordinance prohibiting a sanitary sewer
connection to detached accessory buildings for single family uses. Access to sanitary sewer
increases the potential intensity of the use of the accessory building in a manner that may be in
conflict with the allowed uses of the Zoning Ordinance or in a way that increases potential
compatibility issues with adjacent properties.
I. Sewer Connection. There shall be no connection to sanitary sewer or
private on-site septic systems from any detached accessory building.
Buffer Yard Setbacks. Section 11-21-9.E. of the Zoning Ordinance establishes provisions for
residential buffer yards adjacent to arterial and major collector roadways. The residential
buffer yards require increased lot width or depth, setbacks and screening intended to offset the
impacts of traffic along major roadways to the residential use. City staff recommends that the
regulations be clarified that the setback requirements apply to the principal building and not to
any accessory use that may be located in a side or rear yard abutting the major roadway. This
5
amendment will allow property owners maximum utilization of their lot, while maintaining
consistency with the intent of the buffer yard requirements.
c. For lots preliminary platted after February 16, 1999, the following
principal building setback requirements shall apply to the yard of a
lot abutting a major collector or arterial street:
RS-1 RS-2 RS-3 RS-4 RST-1 RST-2 RM-1 RM-2 RH-1 RH-2
Side yard 40' 40' 30' 30' 30' 30' 50' 50' 50' 50'
Rear yard 50' 50' 50' 50' 50' 50' 50' 50' 50' 50'
Residential Subdivision Signs. Pulte Homes has requested that the City review the provisions
for residential subdivision signs as they relate to their Linden Ridge subdivision located at 205th
Street and Hamburg Avenue. Section 11-23-15.X.1 of the Zoning Ordinance allows installation
of a permanent monument sign at a subdivision entrance from a major collector or arterial
street designated by the Comprehensive Plan. For this subdivision, the entry is from roadways
designated as a minor collector street. City staff recommends amending Section 11-23-15.X.1
of the Zoning Ordinance to remove the reference to “major”, thus allowing such signs at entries
from both minor and major collector streets:
1. Permanent Signs: One sign shall be allowed for a subdivision
having not less than three (3) lots or principal buildings at its
entrance from a major collector or arterial street defined by the
Lakeville transportation plan provided that:
a. The area of the face of each sign shall not exceed one
hundred (100) square feet.
b. Freestanding signs shall be limited to a maximum height of:
(1) Ten feet (10') for residential uses.
(2) Twenty feet (20') for commercial, industrial and
institutional uses.
c. The sign(s) shall be located to accommodate said sign and
related landscaping to meet all setback requirements. If the
sign(s) is to be located on outlots, the outlots shall be
designated on the preliminary plat and detailed plans for the
area identification signs shall be submitted with the final plat.
d. The area around the sign shall be landscaped in such a
manner to accent and enhance the sign while remaining
sensitive to the natural features of the site. Detailed site and
6
landscape plans shall be included with each sign permit
application and shall be subject to review and approval of
the zoning administrator.
e. The design and construction of the sign shall be done with
the highest quality materials and workmanship to keep
maintenance and upkeep costs to a minimum and to
minimize the potential for vandalism. The signs are to be
aesthetically pleasing when designed and constructed. The
sign shall be compatible with nearby structures in the area.
Detailed construction plans and a materials list shall be
included with each sign permit application and shall be
subject to the review and approval of the zoning
administrator.
f. The sign may be illuminated but only an external light source
shall be allowed within residential districts.
Daycare Signs. Commercial daycare centers are allowed in residential zoning districts as a
conditional use subject to the performance standards established by Chapter 31 of the Zoning
Ordinance. These facilities have need for business identification signs, but Section 11-23-
19.B.1 of the Zoning Ordinance regulating signs does not include allowances for daycare
centers. City staff proposes the following amendment to allow daycare centers to display wall
and freestanding signs for business identification purposes. The reference to daycare facilities
as a principal use makes the provision applicable only to those uses that operate outside of a
single family dwelling as an accessory use permitted by State Statute within these same zoning
districts.
1. Government buildings and structures, public, quasi-public or private
recreation buildings, public parks and recreation areas, public and
private educational institutions limited to accredited elementary,
middle or senior high schools, daycare facilities as a principal use,
and religious institutions such as churches, chapels, temples and
synagogues shall be allowed the following signs:
a. Freestanding Sign:
(1) Number Allowed: One sign is allowed per lot, except
that one additional sign shall be allowed when there is
more than one entrance from a major collector or
arterial street.
(2) Area: The area of each sign may not exceed one
hundred (100) square feet per sign face.
7
(3) Monument Type; Height: The sign shall be a
monument type with a maximum height not to exceed
ten feet (10').
(4) Changeable Copy Signs: Within the allowed area of a
freestanding sign, a maximum of forty (40) square
feet of non-electronic changeable copy shall be
allowed per frontage to a major collector or arterial
street.
b. Wall, Canopy, or Marquee Signs:
(1) For single occupancy buildings, not more than one
sign larger than one hundred (100) square feet shall
be allowed on one elevation fronting a public street,
except in the case of a corner lot or through lot where
one additional one hundred (100) square foot wall
sign may be installed on a second elevation fronting a
public street.
(2) Additional signs not to exceed forty eight (48) square
feet shall be allowed for each building entrance.
Multiple Family Dwelling Signs. Signs are commonly placed for multiple family buildings to
identify the development. For multiple family buildings within the RH-1 and RH-2 Districts,
signs are regulated by Section 11-23-19.B of the Zoning Ordinance and do not include
allowances for wall or freestanding signs. Multiple family buildings within the O-R District are
allowed to have one wall sign up to 50 square feet facing a public street, or second elevation
facing a public street for a corner lot, and/or a freestanding sign up to 50 square feet and 20
feet in height. City staff recommends amending Section 11-23-19.B of the Zoning Ordinance to
include a sign allowance for multiple family buildings within the RH-1 and RH-2 Districts as
follows:
2. Multiple Family Apartments:
a. Freestanding Sign: One monument sign is allowed per lot not to
exceed fifty (50) square feet each side with a maximum height of
ten feet (10').
b. Wall, Canopy, Or Marquee Sign: Not more than one (1) wall,
canopy, or marquee sign with an area not to exceed fifty (50)
square feet shall be allowed on one (1) elevation fronting a public
street, except in the case of a corner lot or through lot where wall
signs may be installed on two (2) elevations fronting a public street
or on an elevation with the primary entrance.

Commercial Wall Signs. PetSmart recently received approval of a PUD Development Stage Plan
to construct a 18,000 square foot retail building within Spirit Place of Brandtjen Farm. The SBF
PUD District and PUD Development Stage Plan for Spirit Place of Brandtjen Farm provides for
signs as allowed for uses within the C-3 District. Section 11-23-19.E.1.b of the Zoning District
establishes wall sign allowances for single occupancy commercial uses within the C-3 District as
follows:
Buildings < 45,000 square feet:
o One sign is allowed on one wall facing a public street for interior lots, or one
sign may be installed on two walls facing a public street for corner lots.
o Maximum area of any wall sign is 100 square feet.
Buildings > 45,000 square feet:
o One sign is allowed on one wall facing a public street for interior lots, or one
sign may be installed on two walls facing a public street for corner lots.
o Maximum area of one wall sign is 440 square feet; an additional wall sign for a
second wall facing a public street is allowed a maximum area of 200 square feet.
o Secondary wall signs up to 144 square feet with maximum area of 72 square
feet for any one sign are allowed on one wall facing a public street or the
elevation that is the primary building entry.
The basic sign allowances for uses within the C-3 District balance the need for business
identification with community preferences regarding traffic safety and aesthetics. The sign
provisions for uses 45,000 square feet or more were developed based on a review of signs
allowed within PUD Districts for large box retail uses, such as grocery stores, that in addition to
their core business include secondary uses such as a pharmacy or coffee shop.
During consideration of the PetSmart PUD Development Stage Plan, the applicant requested
consideration of allowing a wall sign on a third wall of their building and an increase in the
allowed area of the individual wall signs. The Planning Commission recommended and the City
Council approved the PUD Development Stage Plan with a condition that the signs comply with
the allowances specified for C-3 District uses. Compliance with C-3 District sign provisions is
appropriate in that the PetSmart location is not unique with frontage to a public street and a
shared private driveway. Flexibility from the C-3 District sign provisions as part of the PUD
Development Stage Plan for PetSmart would not be consistent with the intent of the Zoning
Ordinance.
PetSmart has subsequently submitted an application for a PUD Development Stage Plan
amendment to allow a 147 square foot wall sign to be installed on the south (front), north
9
(rear), and east (side) elevations of the principal building exceeding both the number and area
limits for wall signs established by the PUD District. PetSmart states that the amendment is
necessary for the signs to comply with the company’s prototype signage and brand recognition
program. City staff does not support amendment of the PUD Development Stage Plan to allow
for the three wall signs or increased area of the individual signs as it is not consistent with the
intent of the Zoning Ordinance as applied to similar uses under similar circumstances. For this
reason, City staff is bringing this item to the attention of the Planning Commission to discuss
whether consideration should be given to amendment of the Zoning Ordinance for sign
regulations applicable to all uses within the C-3 District (as well as C-2 and C-CBD Districts).
Model Homes. Section 27 regulates construction and use of dwellings as temporary models
and real estate offices. Section 11-27-3 of the Zoning Ordinance limits the number of model
homes to two or 10 percent of the lots within the final plat, whichever is greater. The Zoning
Ordinance was amended in 2012 to accommodate subdivisions with multiple builders and
multiple house plans; previously, only one model home was allowed prior to completion of
infrastructure improvements. This section also allows construction of a model home to be
started before completion of infrastructure and the first lift of asphalt for the public street
accessing the lot. However, builders have been using this provision to begin construction of
homes that they do not intend to ever be used as a model home prior to completion of
infrastructure. This situation causes concern from a construction access and observation
standpoint as well as public safety issues should there be a fire or accident on a job site. As
such, City staff proposes the following amendment of Section 11-27-3 of the Zoning Ordinance:
11-27-3: QUALIFICATION:
To qualify for a building permit for a model home, which may include a temporary
real estate office, the following shall be required:
A. The total number of model homes allowed shall not exceed the greater of two
(2) buildings or ten percent (10%) of the lots within the final plat.
AB. Upon receipt of final plat approval and recording, building permits may be
issued for model homes and/or temporary real estate offices provided that
the number of model homes and/or temporary real estate offices shall not
exceed the lesser greater of one (1) per homebuilder two (2) buildings or ten
percent (10%) of the lots within the final plat prior to infrastructure
improvements, including the first lift of asphalt, being completed and
approved by the City Engineer.
BC. No certificate of occupancy shall be issued for a model home and/or
temporary real estate office until the infrastructure improvements including
the first lift of asphalt have been completed and approved by the city
engineer.
Temporary Dwellings. In May 2016, an amendment to State Statutes 462.3593 was adopted
that made provisions for temporary heath care dwelling units as a permitted accessory use for
single family dwellings unless a City adopted an ordinance opting to prohibit these types of
10
uses. As outlined in the attached memorandum prepared by Planning Director Daryl Morey,
the statutory allowance of these temporary dwelling units creates potential public health
safety, land use compatibility, and administration compatibility issues. Based on the factors
outlined in this memorandum, the Planning Commission recommended and the City Council
adopted Section 11-1-17 of the Zoning Ordinance opting out of the statutory allowance of
temporary health care dwellings within the City.
In adopting the opt out ordinance, the City Council directed that the Planning Commission
consider whether provisions allowing such temporary dwelling units should be prepared to
address the issues identified with the Statutory process and establish performance standards
specific to Lakeville. City staff is requesting direction from the Planning Commission as to
whether City staff should proceed to draft an amendment allowing for temporary dwelling units
within the City. These provisions would likely be included within Chapter 28 of the Zoning
Ordinance regulating temporary structures. The administrative process for a temporary
dwelling unit would necessitate an interim use permit application so as to ensure appropriate
notice to surrounding property owners and to provide the City the ability to enforce a sunset on
the allowed use of the temporary dwelling unit, which involves time and expense on the part of
the property owner. Provision of year-round utility service for the temporary dwelling units
remains a major practical issue. The resources required to monitor and administer the interim
use permits would also be a concern outside of the formulation of performance standards for
temporary dwelling units.
Daycare Uses. Section 31 of the Zoning Ordinance establishes performance standards for
commercial daycare uses (other than those allowed as a permitted use within residential
dwellings by State Statute). Section 11-31-5.E of the Zoning Ordinance requires daycare
facilities to provide a loading area meeting the requirements of Section 20 of the Zoning
Ordinance. Section 11-20-15.A requires this loading area to be a minimum of 10 feet in width
by 70 feet in length with 14 feet of clearance, which is excessive for this type of use. City staff
recommends this provision be amended as follows:
E. Loading: One off street loading space in compliance with chapter
20 of this title shall be provided All deliveries shall occur at such a
time as to not conflict with customer or employee access to the
building and parking demand, and all loading and maneuvering
shall be accomplished on private property.
Animals. The Planning Commission previously recommended removing Section 11-35-
3.D of the Zoning Ordinance allowing for the keeping of animals other than those
defined as house pets or farm animals within the City by approval of an interim use
permit. The City Council referred this issue back to the Planning Commission for further
consideration as to whether maintaining the exception provision is appropriate if
specific performance standards were adopted.
11
City staff researched other cities with characteristics similar to Lakeville. Apple Valley,
Bloomington, Burnsville, Eden Prairie, and Woodbury include in their City Code similar
prohibitions on the keeping of the following animals within the City (except as
associated with a zoo program or other limited period not longer than 30 days):
Any member of the cat family (felidae) including, but not limited to, lions, tigers,
cougars, bobcats, leopards and jaguars, but excluding those recognized as
domesticated house cats.
Any naturally wild member of the canine family (canidae) including, but not limited to,
wolves, foxes, coyotes, dingoes, and jackals, but excluding those recognized as
domesticated dogs.
Any hybrid or crossbreeds between an animal defined in clauses (a) or (b) and a
domestic animal and offspring from all subsequent generations of those hybrids or
crosses, such as the crossbreed between a wolf and a dog.
Any member or relative of the rodent family including any skunk (whether or not
descented), raccoon, or squirrel, but excluding those members otherwise defined or
commonly accepted as domesticated pets.
Any poisonous, venomous, constricting, or inherently dangerous member of the
reptile or amphibian families including, but not limited to, rattlesnakes, boa
constrictors, pit vipers, crocodiles and alligators.
Any other animal that is not explicitly listed above but which can be reasonably
defined by the terms of this section including, but not limited to, bear, deer, non-
human primates and game fish.
If the Planning Commission favors maintaining the option to allow for keeping of
animals other than farm animals or house pets as an interim use, consideration should
be given to outlining performance standards that would apply to approval of an interim
use permit:
Limitation to properties located within the RA or A-P District.
Minimum lot area of 10 acres.
Minimum setbacks applicable to a principal building.
Documentation of appropriate permits from Federal or State agencies as
applicable.
12
Provision of adequate enclosure for the welfare of the animal of sufficient
construction to prevent escape, further subject to applicable limits on number
and area of accessory buildings for the lot.
The animals must be owned and maintained by the property owner.
The interim use permit would be conditioned to expire upon inclusion of the
property within the MUSA or a change in property ownership.
Related to keeping animals, representatives of the sixth grade Lego League Team made
a presentation at the November 21, 2016 City Council meeting encouraging the City to
support pollinator gardens and the keeping of bees within residential neighborhoods.
Bees are defined as a farm animal by Section 11-2-3 of the Zoning Ordinance and would
be allowed to be kept on any farms within the City. Consideration of allowing the
keeping of bees within residential neighborhoods would require amendment of the
Zoning Ordinance and establishment of performance standards. The University of
Minnesota maintains a survey of Minnesota cities’ regulations for the keeping of bees.
Where bees are allowed to be kept accessory to a residential use, there is typically a
restriction to rural areas, a minimum lot area requirement, limitations on the number
and size of hives, and increased setbacks from surrounding residential properties. These
provisions ultimately are very similar to the outline above of performance standards the
Planning Commission may consider for keeping of animals other than domestic or farm
animals. City staff is seeking direction as to whether the Planning Commission is in
favor of allowing keeping bees on other than farm properties within the City.
RST-2 District Title. The title of the RST-2 District is RST-2, Single and Two-Family
“Transitional District”. All other residential districts are titled as “Residential District”.
City staff recommends amending Section 11-45-1.B of the Zoning Ordinance and
retitling Chapter 57 of the Zoning Ordinance as RST-2, Single and Two-Family
Transitional Residential District.
Waste Transfer Stations. Dick’s Sanitation has operated a recycling facility at the
property located at 8812 215th Street since August 1, 2014. The property is zoned I-1
District, which specifically excludes waste facilities from the list of allowed permitted
uses. The use is generally industrial in character and may be appropriate for inclusion
within such zoning districts provided that measures are taken to off-set potential
negative effects of a waste facility to surrounding properties or public health, safety and
welfare. Use of a conditional use permit will provide for the needed oversight based on
specific requirements to be listed with the interim use and the general performance
standards listed in Section 11-4-7 of the Zoning Ordinance. City staff recommends
allowing waste and recycling facilities as a conditional use within the I-1 and I-2 Districts
as follows:
13
X Waste and Recycling Transfer Stations:
1. No transfer station shall operate without a license or permit
required therefor by any county or state agency or
department having jurisdiction over any solid waste transfer
system and no transfer system shall operate in violation of
any term or condition of a license or permit required
therefore by any county or state agency or department.
2. The property shall abut and be accessed from an arterial
roadway.
3. Hours of operation shall be seven o'clock (7:00) A.M. and
seven o'clock (7:00) P.M. Monday through Friday, unless
otherwise limited or extended by the City Council.
4. All transfer operations shall be conducted within the principal
building and shall not produce any adverse noise, glare,
fumes, odor, obnoxious products, byproducts, litter, waste or
other nuisance impacts, and shall not include the handling,
transfer, processing, or storage of hazardous, infectious, or
pathological waste or cconstruction and demolition debris.
5. Outside storage incidental to the principal use is limited to
thirty percent (30%) of the gross floor area of the principal
building and shall comply with the performance standards of
11-86-9.C of this Title.
6. The transfer station and the property on which it is located
shall be open at all times for inspection by the city, county,
and state.
CONCLUSION
City staff is seeking input and direction regarding the Zoning Ordinance update topics outlined
herein prior to drafting of formal amendments for consideration at a public hearing to be
scheduled for a future Planning Commission meeting date.
