4d1 PCMemoVillageDistrictsPublic HearingPC 2.2.16Memorandum To: Scandia Planning Commission Copies To: Neil Soltis, City Administrator Brenda Eklund, City Clerk Reference: Village Districts Uses Project No.: 16023.000 From: Sherri Buss, RLA AICP, Routing: Planner Date: January 18. 2016 The Planning Commission reviewed the lists of allowed and conditional uses in the Village Mixed Use (VMU A and B) Zoning Districts at its meeting in January, reviewed similar lists from other communities, and discussed potential changes to the lists. The table below summarizes the Commission's recommendations at that meeting, and the attached draft ordinance puts the recommendations into an ordinance format. Overall, the number of allowed uses increased, and the number of uses requiring a CUP decreased. Uses that still require a CUP include a variety of types of housing, uses that include the sale of alcoholic beverages, auto -related uses, and others that may have impacts on surrounding neighborhoods and require specific conditions to address potential impacts. The Commission should review the list for discussion in February. Some additional considerations include: Potential Hotel/Motel use in VMU A. There is potential development interest for a hotel on the Scandia Creamery parcel in the VMU A District. This use is currently allowed in the VMU B District, but not in VMU A. Does the Commission recommend adding this use in VMU A? Most other smaller cities reviewed for this discussion do permit hotels and motels in the "downtown" -type districts. Most do not have specific performance standards except parking requirements. Typically one parking space is required for each hotel/motel unit, plus a parking space for each hotel/motel staff person. The Commission may also consider whether the definition of Hotel should contain a minimum number of units. Some thoughts on definitions for this use were included on page 2 of the cover memo titled "Agritourism and Hotels: Definitions and Standards" that the Commission received at the January meeting. Cemeteries. Neil asked if this use should continue to be permitted as a new use with a CUP in the downtown districts. The use is not typically permitted in other downtowns because it utilizes a large amount of space in an area where land values are higher An employee owned company promoting affirmative action and equal opportunity 444 Cedar Street, Suite 1500 Saint Paul, MN 55101 651.292.4400 tkda.cam TKDA Memorandum To: Scandia Planning Commission Copies To: Neil Soltis, City Administrator Brenda Eklund, City Clerk Reference: Village Districts Uses Project No.: 16023.000 From: Sherri Buss, RLA AICP, Routing: Planner Date: January 18. 2016 The Planning Commission reviewed the lists of allowed and conditional uses in the Village Mixed Use (VMU A and B) Zoning Districts at its meeting in January, reviewed similar lists from other communities, and discussed potential changes to the lists.

If the City removed this use (and similar uses) from the list, the current cemetery would become a nonconforming use, and its expansion would be prohibited. EDA thoughts. The EDA reviewed the lists modified by the Planning Commission at their January meeting. They asked if two new uses could be considered for the list— craft brewery and car wash. The Planning Commission may consider this suggestion at the February meeting.
