PLANNING REpORT ApPLICANT: April 18, 2006 ZA2006-005 Zoning Code Amendment Related to Specially Permitted Uses in Residentially Zoned Districts City of New Brighton DATE: CASE: SUBJECT: REQUEST Attached is a proposed amendment to Section 4-030, which is the established list of specially permitted uses within all residential districts. This amendment would allow churches with commercial kitchens to lease or permit outside users access for preparation of food not associated with an event held at the church. The proposed language stipulates conformance with six listed conditions, in addition to the general special use permit conditions listed in Section 8- 130. Any user attempting to operate out of a church (or library, museum, college or school) under this ordinance would be required to appear before the Planning Commission and City Council for review and approval of a Special Use Permit. As noted in condition #6, both the property owner and business owner are required to be co-applicants. Preparation of this ordinance amendment arose out of a local caterer who attempted to get a license to operate at Atonement Lutheran Church, which is located on the southwest comer of Silver Lake Road and Rice Creek Road. The Zoning Ordinance does not allow such a commercial use in a property that is zoned for multi-family residential. The attached amendment has been drafted after a clearer understanding of the extent of his proposed use of the church kitchen and general Council support. The proposed language only allows preparation of food and nothing more. Applicants wouldn't be permitted overnight parking, signage, outside storage, etc. ATTACHMENTS Exhibit A - Proposed Ordinance Amendment STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the proposed amendment and if acceptable direct the Council to adopt the language as drafted and/or with any proposed revisions. ~A- . 6Uu~ tu.L Janice Gundlach, City Planner
