Ells -Wft _ Request for Action River To Item Number Mayor and City Council 7.7 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Public Hearinj October 20,2014 Zack Carlton,Planner I Item Description Reviewed by Ordinance Amendment Adding State Licensed Jeremy Barnhart,Deputy Director CODD Residential Facilities in the R-3 Zoning District Reviewed by Cal Portner, City Administrator Action Requested Adopt, by motion,the ordinance amendment adding state licensed residential facilities as a permitted use in the R-3 (Townhouse/Multiple Family Residential) zoning district. Background/Discussion Case No. OA 14-05 Minnesota Statute 462.357 requires that state licensed residential facilities be considered a permitted, single family residential use (subd. 7) or a permitted,multifamily residential use (subd 8).The city received a request early this summer to locate a residential facility in the R-3 zoning district and at the time of the request the use was not permitted. The facilities are currently permitted uses in all other residential districts within the city and the amendment brings our ordinance into compliance with Statute. Statute provides the city with the option to require a Conditional Use Permit for said facilities when located in a multifamily area to "assure proper maintenance and operation of a facility." Staff recommends listing the use as permitted, consistent with the rest of the ordinance. Omission of the use in the R-3 district was likely an oversight when the ordinance was amended. Planning Commission The Planning Commission had no concerns and recommended approval by a 7-0 vote. Public Hearin No one spoke during the public hearing September 23,2014, and the only comment received was to ensure that the use would not be overly restricted.
