Page 3 - May 28, 2002, New Brighton Council Minutes Boylan presented for consideration the amending of the Zoning Code Section 6-030 (5) 11 as it relates to uses under the 1-1 Zoning District. Due to the proposed rezoning ofthree vacant parcels 1(1950 Old Hwy 8 NW) owned by Johnson Screens from 1-2, Heavy Industrial to J-l, Light Industrial, concern arose that the current use was not allowed within an I -I District. Staff proposes the following language be added to the City Code to allow Johnson Screens' current use to remain: "welded screen manufacturing, conducted entirely within a fully enclosed, climate controlled building, and not involving electroplating or stamping". Motion by Hoffman, seconded by Samuelson, to WAIVE THE READING AND ORDER THE PUBLICATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 6-030 OF THE NEW BRIGHTON ZONING ORDINANCE RELATING TO THE PERMITTED USES IN AN I- I, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT. 5 Ayes - 0 Nays, Motion Carried. Boylan presented the rezoning of three vacant parcels (1950 Old Hwy 8 NW) owned by Johnson Screens from 1-2, Heavy Industrial to I-I, Light Industrial. This rezoning will provide for the Comprehensive Plan's future land use designation for this site as I-I. As per the last Council action, Council approved to amend the allowable uses within the I-I District to ensure that the current use at Johnson Screens will remain. Motion by Moore-Sykes, seconded by Sweeley, to WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION APPROVING RZ02-001; AND WAIVE THE READING AND ORDER THE PUBLICATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE NEW BRIGHTON ZONING ORDINANCE BY REZONING CERTAIN PROPERTY WITHIN I THE CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON (1950 OLD HIGHWAY 8 NW) FROM 1-2, HEAVY INDUSTRIAL, TO 1-1, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL. 5 Ayes - 0 Nays, Motion Carried. Boylan explained that staff was approached by a resident wishing to construct a front porch, however, the design does not conform with setbacks or provisions for the Special Use Permit. In 2000, Council considered setback exemptions for front yards and passed an ordinance allowing a special use permit for encroachments, provided plans meet certain criteria. The resident believes that conformance with the guidelines would produce a front porch that would result in an undesirable design for their home. The Planning Commission has recommended that staff brief the Council on the setback exception issue and request direction. Tom Pawalchek, applicant, wishes to construct an open porch onto the front of his home, and acknowledged his intent to not enclose this space or utilize this space for anything other than a front porch. Larson acknowledged that the enclosing ofthis space or any use conversion is an important point which should be noted in any modifications of existing codes. Motion by Sweeley, seconded by Samuelson, to DIRECT STAFF TO CONDUCT AN ANALYSIS OF EXISTING CODES AND CRITERIA FOR FRONT YARD SETBACK EXCEPTIONS AND REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION. 5 Ayes - 0 Nays, Motion Carried. I Boylan presented for consideration installation of temporary signage on Silver Lake Road during the Phase I and Phase II Street Reconstruction Projects. Several businesses located along Silver Lake Road are concerned of a decline in business, and have requested temporary signage during the construction period. Temporary signs are permitted twice per year for up to 30 days, however, an interim ordinance would balance the need for business exposure during construction while protecting the public from excessive clutter of temporary signage.
