He asked if staff is considering changes in zoning. <br />Senior Planner Gladhill stated this is not the case in this instance because there is a fire code for <br />protection. He explained this is more of a standard fueling station and precautions are taken so <br />nothing will prevent other users from locating in this facility. <br />Councilmember McGlone explained he wanted to protect those who own property around this <br />area. He said he has been a strong advocate for requiring a business to fit within the existing <br />zoning, or relocate where the zoning fits better. <br />Councilmember Elvig pointed out Anoka County has been notified as well as residents within <br />300 feet. <br />City Attorney Goodrich clarified if the property is less than 5 acres, those within 350 feet must <br />be notified. <br />Senior Planner Gladhill indicated when the use for vehicle sales was approved, all proper parties <br />were notified. This case is adding a use, and not changing one. <br />City Council / October 11, 2011 <br />Page 14 of 17 <br />
