1. City Code Re-Write

Planners Rita Trapp and Beth Richmond went over the Draft Development Code

Evaluation which provided an overview of major themes that will be addressed in the

code rewrite. The goal is to create a more user friendly code with a consistent numbering

system. The following themes identified to address are:

1. Restructure and Reformat the Land Use Title

2. Implement the Comprehensive Plan

3. Evaluate the Zoning Map

4. Evaluate and Update Structure and Content of Zoning Districts’ Uses and

Standards

5. Update and Clarify Development Procedures and Roles

6. Improve Zoning as a Tool for Expanding Housing Development Options

A suggested structure of the new Land Use Title is:

Title XV Land Usage

o Chapters

Divisions

Sections

→ Sub-sections

Sections will be located within Divisions. Some shorter chapters may not need to be

broken down into Divisions, in which case Sections will be located within the Chapter

level.

Planning Commission members discussed the history and purpose of the R-1 and R-1A

districts as well as the B-1 and B-2 districts.

Next steps suggested include community engagement such as stake holder meetings and a

Planning Commission field trip to view developments like small lot and townhome

housing options.

2. Lindstrom Clock Tower Concept Plan Update


of 33

Olinger explained the City is trying to resolve parking and stormwater. TIF from the

Northland redevelopment can be used for public parking and stormwater storage. Also,

live/work units cannot be interchangeable in the front, street side; they must be retail.

3. Development Updates-Olinger went over the current developments in the City.

ADJOURNMENT:

Motion by Erlandson, second by Donovan, to adjourn the meeting at 8:50p.m.

Motion passed 5-0.

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: May 2, 2019 SUBMITTED BY: Administrator Olinger ITEM: Veteran’s Housing Concept

The revised plan for veterans housing is attached. The proposal includes eight single-family

slab on grade single story homes on around 120’ x 50’ lots. The Community Garden would

be a public lot and the west access would but public right of way to access the parcel to the

south.

There are many ways that this development does not meet our current standards. We

currently do not have the standards to address the intent of the Comprehensive Plan to allow

for a variety of housing options. Through this proposal, I recommend we discuss the

principals of good design and neighborhood planning. We should discuss what can be

varied, what creative solutions can be used to address critical issues without compromising

the intent of a housing option, like affordability of affordable housing.

ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Provide input on the proposal
