MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Chris Leeseberg, Planner
DATE: December 28, 2004 C�
SUBJECT: Case No. OA 04-07
Request by Peter Specht to Amend Section 30-1292 (1-1
District)
Request
The applicant requests an amendment to Section 30-1292 regarding bus storage in the I1
Zoning District.
Attachments
• Allowed Conditional Uses in the Il district
• Proposed Language for Amendment
Overview
In December 2003, the City initiated an ordinance amendment that changed the uses
allowed in the Il. The amendment included allowing only school bus terminals, as a
conditional use, on properties that have direct access to an arterial or collector street.
The applicant is proposing that coach buses also be allowed in the I1 zoning district as a
conditional use.
The primary issue with the past amendment and this request is the traffic impacts created by
bus traffic. Staff recommends the following language to allow all buses,but limiting the
number of buses depending on the proximity of adequate roads.
Bus storage. Not to exceed 10 buses, unless the property has direct access to an arterial or collector
street.

Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed
ordinance amendment to allow bus storage as a conditional use in the I1 district provided
the property has direct access to an arterial street if there are more than 10 buses.

(d) Conditional uses. Conditional uses in the I-1 district are as follows:
(1) Outdoor storage area accessory to principal use.
(2) Single-family residential dwelling units accessory to principal uses, provided that:
a. The nature of the principal use of the property makes it necessary or highly desirable
from both the property owner's and the city's perspective to have a 24-hour-a-day
caretaker or security person reside on the property.
b. The proposed dwelling unit is designed for and will be used exclusively by
caretakers or security personnel responsible for the security of the property and the
principal use thereof.
c. The proposed building unit will be occupied by no more than two persons, neither of
whom may be under 18 years of age.
d. There will be only one dwelling unit per lot or, if one principal use is located on
several adjoining lots, per principal use.
e. The proposed dwelling unit will not exceed 800 square feet in size and will be
located within a building serving the principal use of the property which is no less than
10,000 square feet in size.
f. The principal use of the property is not of such a nature that it would be dangerous or
hazardous to residents of the proposed dwelling unit.
g. The proposed dwelling unit meets all other requirements of this Code and Minnesota
Uniform Building Code for occupancy as a dwelling unit by a single family. The city
council may, if it finds it necessary to do so for the protection of the health, safety and
welfare of persons who may occupy the proposed dwelling unit, impose additional
reasonable requirements or conditions on the construction and use of the dwelling unit.
h. The conditional use allowing such a dwelling unit in an industrial zone is deemed to
be unique to the principal use of the property and the ownership of the property and the
principal use. Any conditional use permits granted under this section shall therefore
automatically expire if the principal use of the property changes or the ownership of
either the property or the principal use of the property changes.
