Council Meeting Minutes September 12, 1994 Page 4 Council Business. continued As advised by the City Attorney, the City is not allowed to preclude adult use q,fjented businesses from coming into the community, but the City can guide where thtlse businesses would be located according to land use regulations. This one year mdratorium provides that during the moratorium period adult use establishments can not be located within 1,000 ft. from the nearest property line of any land in a residential zone, public day care, library, religious institution, playground or other public recreation facilities within any zoning district. This moratorium would provide the adequate time to prepare the necessary permanent regulations so that this type of land use is done consistent with appropriate zoning regulations. Benke noted the recent redevelopment projects in Olde Town and the Rice Creek Center, and feels the moratorium will give the City time to sort out issues and impacts of this business use. He supports the moratorium.

In addition to a City representative, residents are encouraged to participate on this committee. Benke noted that Council members have been given the opportunity to participate on this committee. Because of Fulton's expertise in community development and redevelopment activities, he would endorse the nomination of Fulton to serve as the City's representative. Samuelson feels it is appropriate to appoint Fulton. Larson agrees. Williams arrived at 7:45 p.m. Benke said the committee will deal with issues relating to redevelopment of the site to accommodate appropriate areas for housing, commercial and industrial use. While the site is remediated, the committee will develop recommendations for the clean-up, redesign and conversion of the site. The site's redevelopment is of high concern and interest to the City.
