CASE AMENDMENTS TO THE SITE PLAN REVIEW SECTION OF CITY CODE; CASE OF CITY OF RAMSEY By: Community Development Assistant Scan Walther Background: On September I, 1998, the Planning Commission directed staff to review the Site Plan Review section of City Code. Staff reviewed the current code, the recommendations of the Chapter 9 Review Subcommittee, and the suggested additional submittal requirement of color renderings and/or colored material samples of the building exterior. After reviewing a draft of the proposed revisions on December 3, 1998, the Planning Commission suggested additional modifications. Staff made the suggested modifications. In addition, staff decided to move all of the performance standards found in Section 9.03.06 (Site Plan Review), Subdivision 4 (Standards) to the more appropriate location in Section 9.11.20 (Non-residential Performance Standards). Therefore, the Planning Commission considered the adoption of an ordinance to amend Sections 9.03.06 and 9.11.20 of Rarnsey City Code at the Planning Commission meeting on January 5, 1999. The Planning Commission recommended City Council approve the proposed ordinance. The City Council introduced the ordinance on January 26, 1999.
