City Council Minutes Page 10 September 19, 2016 Mr. Carlton discussed the seven conditions required in Spectrum's current Conditional Use Permit. He stated the Council would have to find fault with a condition in order to deny the permit. Attorney Beck stated Council knew at the time they would be setting a precedent. Councilmember Wagner expressed concerns with the mixed uses. She expressed concerns with the building conversion to school use, and then having to change it back to a business park use if they leave. She asked if there is a way Council can require a guarantee from Spectrum to remain in the building for a certain amount of years. Attorney Beck stated no. Councilmember Westgaard questioned how the school was allowed in the business park district. Mr. Carlton stated Council amended city ordinance to allow institutional uses in business parks as a conditional use when Spectrum first came forward asking for it. Mayor Dietz told staff to communicate back to Spectrum to continue to move forward with their project. 9.3 Miscellaneous Proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments Mr. Leeseberg presented the staff report. KennelslAnnnals Councilmember Burandt noted there can be confusion on whether a kennel is outside or inside and suggested a different definition. Council concurred to: • Regulate the number of animals dependent on lot sizes ■ Categorize animals ■ Check with the League of Minnesota Cities ■ Research other city ordinances Chickens Mr. Leeseberg stated chickens are only allowed with a Conditional Use Permit on large parcels. He stated more staff time will be required in code enforcement if chickens are allowed in urban areas. Council was open to allowing chickens in urban areas but language should be specific on how many are allowed based on lot size. Staff is to look at whether they need to be contained.
