6.1. SR 08-16-1993 rei -\) ( )j rIll e e ITEM 6. 1 TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL STEVEN B. ACH, CITY PLANNER~ FROM: DATE: AUGUST 12, 1993 SUBJECT: A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST BY MARK PALMER/PUBLIC HEARING, CASE NO. 93-18 PROPOSED LOCATION 957 Main Street, Elk River, MN (southeast corner of Main Street and Morton Avenue). OVERVIEW Mr. Palmer is requesting a conditional use permit to operate a home occupation that involves a mail order business of firearms. Specifically, Mr. Palmer needs a conditional use permit because ordered firearms for customers will be delivered to Mr. Palmer's residence by United Parcel Service. Technically, if the business was conducted strictly by mail without delivery of merchandise, a conditional use permit would not be required. A Federal Firearms License from the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Bureau has been issued to Mr. Palmer. This Federal license permits Mr. Palmer to buy and sell firearms as a business or for personal pleasure. At the request of Councilman Farber, I've attached a copy of a section from the Federal Firearms Regulation Manual relating to issuance of license (see Attachment A). On the other hand, the City presently does not have any licensing requirements for the sale of firearms; however, recently legislation was passed allowing cities to regulate the location of business that sell firearms (see Attachment B). Staff has reviewed this application in accordance with Section 900.25 regarding home occupations and Section 900.42, conditional use permits (see Attachment C).If Mr. Palmer is to conduct his home occupation according to his letter and conditions set forth by the Planning Commission, all ordinance criteria for granting a permit will be satisfied. However, any deviation from the proposed low profile and limited number of customers would be grounds to reconsider the conditional use permit would be necessary. HOME OCCUPATION ORDINANCE The specific section that applies to Mr. Palmer's request is 900.25 (3)(j). This particular paragraph has been structured such that there remains room for misinterpretation. Based on previous applications and past interpretation, the paragraph P.O. Box 490 · 13065 Orono Parkway · Elk River, MN 55330 · (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425 e e e CUP, Mark Palmer August 12, 1993 Page 2 does not prohibit wholesale or retail businesses as home occupations. Wholesale and retail businesses are prohibited as permitted home occupations, therefore, a conditional use permit is required. Prohibited activities are clearly outlined in 900.25 (2). Attached is staff's report to the Planning Commission outlining the details of the application. OPTIONS FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION Attached is a memo from Peter Beck outlining some options the City Council has to take action on Mr. Palmer's request.

The purpose of this subsection is to prevent unfair competition with business districts and to provide a means through the establishment of specific standards and procedures by which home occupations can be conducted in residential neighborhoods without jeopardizing the residential character or health, safety and general welfare of the surrounding neighborhood. In addition, this subsection is intended to provide a mechanism enabling the distinction between permitted home occupations and conditional or customarily "more sensitive" home occupations, so that permitted home occupations may be allowed through an administrative process rather than a Quasi-Judicial hearing process. 2. Prohibited Activities. No home occupations (permitted or conditional) shall: .. Constitute a fire hazard to neighboring residences, adversely affect neighboring property values, or constitute a nuisance or otherwise be detrimental to the neighbors because of excessive traffic, noise, glare, odor, electrical interference, vibration, dust and other nuisance or safety hazards. ~.; Adversely impact governmental facilities and services, including roads, sanitary sewer, water, storm drainage, garbage service, police and fire. ,~4 Adversely affect sensitive environmental features including lakes, surface and underground water supply and quality, wetlands, slopes, flood plains and soils, or other factors as found relevant by the City. .~ Involve the use of hazardous materials or activities. .~ Involve any of the following: body shops, machine shops, welding, ammunition manufacturing, flea markets, motor vehicle repairs or sale, massage or escort business or other adult oriented businesses as defined by this ordinance, or other objectionable uses as determined by the City Council. 3. Permitted Home Occupations. Permitted home occupations shall be issued subject to the conditions of this Section, other applicable City Ordinances and State Law. A permit for a permitted home occupation may be issued by the Zoning Administrator or his agent based upon proof of compliance with the provisions of this Subsection. Application for the permitted home occupation permit shall be accompanied by a fee as adopted by the City Council by resolution from time to time. If the Administrator denies a permitted home occupation permit to an applicant, the applicant may appeal the decision pursuant to the provisions of Section 900.42. Permitted home occupations are subject to the following criteria: 9.88 e a. The occupation shall be carried on entirely within the dwelling unit or attached garage except that light construction contractors may use detached accessory structures which would normally be allowed under the provisions of this ordinance for storage. If the home occupations is carried on in the garage, the minimum amount of required garage space shall be maintained as garage space. b. There shall be no exterior evidence of the home occupation such as displays, exterior storage of business equipment, materials, merchandise, inventory or heavy equipment. c. No permitted home occupation shall require internal or external construction features not customarily found in dwellings. d. A maximum of one (1) full-time employee, or equivalent, other than those persons who customarily reside on the premises shall be employed. This provision shall not apply to dwellings where the permitted home occupation is a meeting place for employees and the work is done off-premise. e. Permitted home occupations involving teaching shall not exceed two (2) pupils at a time. e f. Any sign or visible advertisements shall not exceed two (2) square feet in area and shall be mounted flat on the outside wall of the dwelling. g. No permitted home occupation shall be serviced by delivery vehicles larger than 26,000 pounds gross vehicle weight. h. No home occupation shall be conducted between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. i. Permitted home occupations shall not create a parking demand in excess of that which can be accommodated in an existing driveway, where no vehicle is parked closer than fifteen (15) feet from the curb line or edge of paved surface. j. The operation of any wholesale or retail business, unless it is conducted entirely by mail, and does not involve the sale, shipment, or delivery of merchandise on the premise, is prohibited. On-site sales shall be limited to those clearly incidental to services provided in the dwelling. e k. Permitted home occupations may not involve repair of internal combustion engines or use of equipment which is not normally found in a home; except that equipment which is typically in an office may be used. 9.89 e 4. Conditional Home Occupations. Home occupations that do not involve "Prohibited Activities"l but that exceed the "Permitted Home Occupation Criteria" may be allowed with approval of a conditional use permit by the City Council pursuant to the provisions of Section 900.42. 5. Inspection. The City may at any reasonable time inspect the home occupation to determine if the applicant is strictly adhering to the criteria for a permitted home occupation or the conditions placed on a conditional home occupation. Inspection by the City of a home occupation shall take place at a minimum of every three (3) years. 6. Revocations. Permitted and conditional home occupations permits shall remain in effect until: a. Such time as there has been a change in conditions of the operation or until such time as the provisions of this Section have been breached. At such time as the City has reason to believe that either event has taken place, the owner of the home occupation may cease the operation or request a public hearing be held pursuant to the provisions of Section 900.42 to consider the matter. e b. If the proposed work described in a home occupation permit has not been substantially completed within two (2) years after its date of issuance, the permit shall expire and become void except that the Council may, following recommendation of the Planning Commission, extend the permit for an additional period determined by the Council on the receipt of a request for a permit extension prior to its expiration. c. For any reason, the authorized use ceases for more than one (1) year. 900.26 - MOBILE HOME PARK REQUIREMENTS e 1. General. A mobile home park may be located only in an R-3 District following the receipt of a conditional use permit and the approval of the mobile home park site plan by the Council and the execution of a development agreement. The plan and permit application shall be processed pursuant to the procedures established in Section 900.42. A plan and permit may be approved only following compliance with the provisions set forth in this Section, Section 900.42, and other applicable provisions of this Ordinance and other ordinances and regulations of the City. 2. Site Plan. An application to establish a mobile home park shall be accompanied by a site plan. The site plan, together with the conditional use permit, shall govern the use and development of the mobile home park. No building permit or certificate of occupancy shall be issued unless in conformance with the approved site plan and permit and any changes in the 9.90 e '. " e e findings, and the action taken on an appeal or variance, including its final order and any conditions established in connection therewith. 900.42 - CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS. 1. Application. a. A conditional use permit may be issued in accordance with this Ordinance for only those uses or purposes for which such permits are required or authorized by this Ordinance. b. An application for a conditional use permit shall be filed with the Building and Zoning Administrator on a form prescribed by the City. The application shall be accompanied by such plans and information as may be required by the Building and Zoning Administrator, including without limitation: i. A site plan drawn at scale showing all abutting lots, existing buildings, existing uses, utilities, curb cuts, locations of trees having a diameter of six (6)inches or more. ii. A proposed development plan showing proposed ingress and egress to the property and proposed structures, yards, off-street parking and loading areas, and where appropriate, plans for utilities, screening, buffering, landscape, lighting, signs and open space, and a development schedule. 2. Planning Commission Review. On receipt of a completed application including necessary plans and information, the Zoning and Building Administrator shall schedule its review by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission shall report its findings and recommendations to the Council with regard to the application. 3. - Council Action. On receipt of the report of the Planning Commission, the Council shall hold a public hearing and shall make a decision upon the proposal to grant or deny a conditional use permit. At least ten (10) days in advance of each hearing, notice of the time and place of such hearing shall be transmitted to the applicant and shall be published in the official newspaper. All property owners within three hundred fifty (350) feet shall be notified by mail of the subject, time and place of the public hearing. Failure of the property owner to receive notice shall not invalidate the hearing or proceeding. 4. Standards. a. The Planning Commission shall recommend a conditional use permit and the Council shall order the issuance of 9.118 e e e such a permit only if it finds that such use at the proposed location: i. Will not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity or the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the City. ii. Will be consistent with the comprehensive plan. iii.Will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property. iv. Will be served adequately by and will not adversely affect essential public facilities and services including streets, police and fire protection, drainage, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, parks and schools; and will not, in particular, create traffic congestion or interference with traffic on adjacent and neighboring public thoroughfares. v. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons or property because of excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, dust or vibrations. vi. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. vii.Will fully comply with all other requirements of the City's Code of Ordinances, including any applicable requirements and standards for the issuance of a license or permit to establish and operate the proposed use in the City of Elk River. b. Denial for Noncompliance -"If the Planning Commission recommends denial of a. conditional use permit or the Council orders such denial, it shall accompany its recommendations or determinations by findings or a report stating how the proposed use does not comply with the above standards. 5. Conditions. a. In approving a conditional use permit, the Council may impose such specific conditions with regard to the development or operation of the proposed use as it considers necessary to satisfy the standards set forth above and requirements contained in this Ordinance and to promote compatibility with and minimize any potential adverse effects upon adjacent properties, the neighborhood 9.119 e e e MEMORANDu.M: '-"RKlN, HOFFMAN, DALY & LINDGREN, LTD. 1500 Norwelt Financial CentC'.r 7900 XerlC;C8 Avenue Sourh Bloominllton. MinneROt.a 55431 TO: Elk River City Council FROM: Peter K. Beck, City ACtorney DA TB: August 13, 1993 RB: Conditional Use Case No. CU 93-18 Request to Allow Mail Order Business ae a Home Occupation Planning staff has requested thaL I prepare a brief memo outlining the Council's options as it considers the request of Mr. Mark Palmer for a conditional use permit to allow a mail order fire ar.ms business as a home occupation. Section 900.25 of the City Zoning Code identifies a number of permitted home occupations. Included are mail order businesses. Mr. Palmer'S business requires a conditional use permit because it involves the delivery of merchandise on the premises. Section 900.25(2) sets forth rive standards for evaluating home occupation requests. (A copy ot this section is attached for your reference.) Section 900.42(4) ot the Zoning Ordinance sets forth seven standards tor the issuance of a conditional use permit. Section 900.42(5) authorizes the City Council to impose conditione upon the approval ot a conditional use permit. (Copies of these sections are also attached for your reference.) One option for the Council is co approve the conditional use permit subject to such specific conditions as the Council feels are appropriate and necessary to satisfy the standards set forth in the Ordinance and to promote compatibility with and minimize any potential adverse effects upon adjacent properties. This is the course of action recommended by the planning staff and the Planning Commission. e e e A second option would he to deny the conditional use permit on the grounds that the standards Bet forth in Section 900.25 and 900.42 have not been met. The City has a certain amount of discretion in acting on conditional use permits. However, the courts have indicated that denial of a conditional use permit must be for a legally sufficient reason, for which there is a factual basis. We believe that all of the standards set forth in the Ordinance are legally sufficient. If the Council finds that a particular standard has not been met, there must be a factual basis for this determination. It is also best to have written findings which set forth this factual basis and the grounds for denial. If the Council's decision is to deny the conditional use permit, I recommend the Council direct staff to prepare its findings in written form for adoption at a subsequent meeting, and continue the conditional use permit request until that meeting. There is also a third option. The 1993 session of the state legislature enacted a new law which authorizes governmental subdivisions to regulate the location of businesses where firearms are sold. (A copy of this law is attached.) The City Council may want to defer action on Mr. Palmer's request until a study on the desirability of enacting such an ordinance in Blk River can be completed and acted on. State law specifically authorizes municipalities to adopt an interim ordinance restricting certain uses if the City is conducting studies or has authorized a study for the purpose of considering an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. If this is the course of action the Council determines to take, the Council action would be to authorize and direct planning staff and the Planning Commission to commence a study of a potential firearms ordinance; direct staff to prepare an interim ordinance restricting any approvals for firearms sales pending completion and action on the study; and continuing Mr. Palmer'S request until the interim ordinance is acted on. The interim ordinance can be for no longer than one year initially, but can be extended to an additional 18 months. The Planning Commission inquired as to whether the City could adopt a licensing ordinance for firearms businesses. Since this issue is not before the City Council on this request for a conditional use permit, I have not done any research into this specific question. However, as I told the Planning Commission, I doubt that licensing of firear,ms businesses (as opposed to licensing of all retail businesses, for instance) would be permissible given the constitutional issues involved and the heavy involvement of the federal government in licensing firearm dealers. I would be happy to pursue this issue further if the City Council would like me to. I will be at the Council meeting Monday night and will be happy to elaborate on this memorandum or answer any questions. Attachment PKB:IJ3s 2.

PALMER/PUBLIC HEARING, CASE NO. CU 93-18 . ATTACHMENTS Location Map, Zoning Map, Comprehensive Land Use Map, a Letter from Mark Palmer, Sketch Plan of Property, List of Property Owners. PROPOSED LOCATION 957 Main Street, Elk River, MN (Southeast corner of Main Street and Morton Avenue). REQUESTED ACTION A conditional use permit request to operate a mail order business as a home occupation. ~ ZONING/LAND USE R1C (Single Family Residential)/MR Medium Density Residential OVERVIEW Mr. Palmer's request is for a conditional use permit to operate a mail order business. Specifically, the business will involve the sale of firearms whereby a customer may review catalogs for a particular firearm. The firearm is then ordered by Mr. Palmer and delivered to his home address and eventually, picked up by the prospective buyer. As stated in the attached letter from Mr. Palmer, no inventory of firearms available for sale will be kept on site. In addition, no accessories such as ammunition will be sold on the premises. REQUIREMENTS FOR SALE OF FIREARMS ~ Generally speaking, in order to sell firearms, an individual must obtain a Federal Firearms License from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF). The most common license issued by ATF is a Type I, which allows the buying and selling of firearms. Mr. Palmer currently has a Type 1 license that is valid through May, 1996. The City currently has no license or permit requirements to sell a firearm. However, it should be pointed out that the state legislature recently passed a bill which states, "...a governmental subdivision may regulate by reasonable, nondiscriminatory, and nonarbitrary zoning P.O. Box 490 · 13065 Orono Parkway · Elk River, MN 55330 · (612) 441-7420 . Fax: (612) 441-7425 .~ CUP, Mark C. Pa1m~r July 14, 1993 Page 2 ------------------- ordinance, the location of businesses where firearms are sold..." In other words, the City could pass an ordinance that has locational standards where the sale of firearms can and cannot occur. An example may be, a minimum distance from schools, public buildings, or churches that the sale of firearms can occur. However, before taking this approach, consideration needs to be given to the number of people and businesses that may be affected by such an ordinance. e As a point of information, ATF has issued a total of eighteen (18) Type 1 licenses to residents and business in the City of Elk River. Of those eighteen (18), thirteen (13) are issued to applicants in residential areas. The City has no information whether these people are selling firearms at their residence. However, there have been no complaints from surrounding residents regarding retail activity. ANALYSIS Residential home occupations are permitted or conditional uses that do not compete unfairly with the business districts nor diminish the character of residential neighborhoods by creating a health and/or safety issue. Any time a home occupation exceeds the boundaries allowed by ordinance, the City Council reserves the right to reconsider and possibly revoke the home ~ occupation permit. Even though this is a mail order business, ~ the product being purchased and sold raises public concern. However, according to the home occupation ordinance, the proposed application falls within the specific guidelines. Furthermore, the seven criteria necessary to grant a conditional use permit can all be satisfied as long as the business is conducted in accordance with the home occupation standards and the recommended conditions. PARKING Mr. Palmer has submitted a drawing of his lot which illustrates the position of his home, driveway, and garage. There are two driveways, one of which accesses directly onto Main Street. The driveway off of Main street has some equipment and miscellaneous items which prevent maximum parking availability. The rear driveway has enough space for three and possibly four automobiles. Parking associated with home occupations is always a concern and should not occur in the street. Therefore, staff will recommend limiting the number of customers at any given time. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of ~ the conditional use permit for Mark C. Palmer allowing a mail ~ order business as a home occupation, with the following stipulations: \ CUP, Mark C. Pa......er July 14, 1993 .) Page 3 ------------------- e 1.

With this letter J hope to clarify my position and allay any concerns as to the nature of my business endeavors. tit At this time, River City Small Arms is essentially a mail order business. In the near future I hope to expand the entire operation out of my home and into a new retail location. At this time, neither time nor money permits me to carry any inventory in stock as a normal retail operation would. I work strictly through catalog sales (if someone would like to purchase a firearm, I can show them what is available and order it for them). I do not sell ammunition or reloading supplies at this time, only firearms. Many people may not be aware of the stringent restrictions placed upon an individual who holds a Federal Firearms License. By applying for, receiving, and signing the FFL. I have waived certain rights that would normally apply to any other citizen. I am subject to a mandatory inspection once a year by the Bureau of Alcohol. Tobacco, and Firearms. They do not need a search warrant to go through my entire place of business (my home). nor do they need to notify me in advance of their plans to inspect. The first floor of my residence is listed as my place of business. therefore, they can inspect/search the whole first floor and garage as they see fit. I understood and agreed to this when I applied for my license. There aren't many other types of business that are subject to this kind of procedure. Along the same lines, there is a tremendous amount of paper work that has to filled out for each firearm sold. Everything has to be accounted for and recorded in the format that the BA TF requires. All firearms must be logged in when purchased by me and logged out when sold. I am personally responsible for each transaction. At the same time. I must do my best to verify that all of the information given to me by a potential purchaser is complete, true and correct. This information must be kept by me in permanent records, including all originals. There are also numerous State and Federal laws regarding the sale of firearms that I am expected to be familiar with and abide by. If I do not, I am subject to rather severe penalties and the revocation of my license. In reference to the Seven Standards for a Conditional Use Permit: 1. As this is a "mail order" business there will be little traffic, either motor vehicle or pedestrian. All firearms that J now have are my own personal sporting firearms and are stored secured unloaded, out of sight and locked up. I currently have very little ammunition in house as time and money have not allowed me the luxury of investing in my hobby. There is no noise or other disturbance associated with this business because it is illegal to discharge firearms within the City limits. My son, Sean, is the only minor currently living in this household and he has had more than adequate training in the proper use and care of firearms (besides, none of the firearms are even accessible to him or anyone else). There are no chemicals, toxins, or hazardous materials involved in this business. 2. From what I know of the City's Comprehensive Plan, I believe that I am within the standards set forth. 3. At this time there is no vacant property near my residence. As I stated earlier in this letter, I hope to move this business out of this location in the very near future and into a larger retail location better suited to the needs of sporting goods store. Firearms sale is only a part of what I envision this will develop into. 4. This business does not increase the risk of fire, nor does it create a hazard in itself. Being located on Main Street, close to down town Elk River, I feel that we have adequate Police and Fire protection. There are four parking places in my driveway, although I have yet to have more than one customer here at one time. This business does not significantly increase the normal amount of garbage that would be produced by this family. Neither my yard nor my home are open to nor are frequented by minor children, so this should not present itself as a problem. 5. Again, I believe that it is relatively self evident that this business will not create any hazards or disturbances as there are no manufacturing processes taking place here. 6. I would certainly hope that nothing here or around me would be damaged or destroyed. My family has done much to improve the value of this home and the property that it sits on. It would not be in our best interest to cause anything to h.::.ppen to our own living space. 7. I am currently doing my best to comply with all applicable ordinances as best as I understand them. There is not now nor will there ever be any signage on or around my home. Neither will I be advertising the physical address of my place of business. I do this for reasons of personal security, both for my family and for my neighbors. I do not wish to invite theft, burglary or vandalism. Only people that I know well are invited into my home. The only planned retail sales will take place at sanctioned firearms or weapons shows as allowed by BA TF regulations. Anyone wishing to do business with me outside of these shows can do so by prearranged appointment. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms requires a physical address to issue a Federal Firearms License. The only physical address that I have at this time is my home. As you will notice the only address listed on my letterhead is my P.O. B~x. Again, this is for reasons of personal safety and concern for my neighborhood. This was never meant to be an ongoing home business. It is hopefully the beginning of a prosperous sporting goods store located within the City of Elk River. I would like to thank you for taking the time to review my application and would greatly value any and all input that you may have regarding this matter. Sinc~.eellyy"j IC~~" Mark C.
