City of Ramsey Planning Commission <br />Page 3 <br />October 20, 2011 <br />In my opinion with regard to the instant case and the CUP, it will be difficult, if challenged in <br />court for Ramsey to prevail in enforcing the total prohibition of non -relatives from the second <br />dwelling. Some reasonable accommodation of a limited number of non -relatives would seem to <br />be required as consistent with the zoning ordinance's "... legitimate objectives of preserving the <br />sanctity of the family, quiet neighborhoods ..." etc. An interpretation similar to the Richfield <br />ordinance would seem reasonable and legally enforceable. <br />Finally, I see no specific authority with regard to the CUPS' no rent for consideration clause. <br />The analysis of this provision should be similar to the "relative" issue restriction. That is, can <br />the City as a governmental agency prove that this restriction is rationally related to the legitimate <br />objectives of the zoning ordinance as discussed above. <br />Please advise if I can be of further assistance on this matter. <br />
