Medical, Optical, and Dental Labs <br /> A discussion is required to define medical, optical, and dental labs as we currently have businesses <br /> operating as outpatient clinics under this classification. <br /> Medical, optical, and dental labs were identified as a permitted use in the I1 zoning district prior to the <br /> recodification in 2002. Although it is not clear what the intended uses were to be and the ordinance does <br /> not define, staff interprets the intent to be industrial/manufacturing in nature not an office such as an <br /> outpatient clinic. <br /> Staff and the city attorney interpret"labs" as the manufacturing of products for the respective businesses. <br /> For example, dental labs create crowns,bridges, dentures, and other dental appliances for dental offices <br /> and patients. Optical labs make prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses for eye clinics and patients. <br /> Medical labs construct, fit, and repair medical supportive devices for medical offices and patients. <br /> Staff does not believe Outpatient Facilities or Personal Service Establishments should be a permitted, <br /> accessory, or conditional use in industrial-zoned districts. <br /> The Council may wish to consider rezoning the parcel to Highway Commercial to maintain the integrity <br /> of the Industrial classification and permit a number of existing illegal uses. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> None <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ Big Lake Massage Licensing <br /> ■ Monticello Massage Licensing <br /> N:APublic Bodies\Agenda Packets\08-21-2017\Final\9.1 sr.docx <br />
