Environmental Policy Board (EPB) 5. 2. <br />Meeting Date: 04/20/2015 <br />By: Tim Gladhill, Community Development <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Review Development Review Process and Meeting Procedures <br />Purpose/Background: <br />The purpose of this case is to review the City's standard development review process for new development <br />projects. General topics of review are anticipated to be the following: <br />1. Powers given to the City by Minnesota Statute Chapter 462 <br />2. Structure of City Code pertaining to new development standards (City Code Chapter 117) <br />3. Meeting Format (decorum and order, Robert's Rules of Order) <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />This intent of this case is to provide a broad overview of the development review process for the City. Attached to <br />this case are a number of resources available to Commissioners. There is a significant amount of material attached <br />to the case. The intent is not to review each detail of these materials, but to have a generalized discussion. The <br />purpose is to provide a general understanding of the framework and identify where to find resources and standards <br />when needed to apply to a particular project. <br />Generally speaking, the City derives its powers to create a Zoning and Subdivision Code through Minnesota Statute <br />Chapter 462. Policies and procedures created in Ramsey City Code Chapter 117 must be consistent with this State <br />Statute. Attached to this case are the pertinent sections of Minnesota Statute Chapter 462; however, discussion will <br />focus on Ramsey's local City Code Chapter 117. Staff will not present individual details of the content of Chapter <br />117, rather the structure and how to quickly find process and standards to apply to cases in front of the Board. <br />Additionally, attached to this case are materials provided by the League of Minnesota Cities which serve as an <br />excellent Quick Reference to assist in interpreting Minnesota Statutes and Rules. <br />Action: <br />No action is being request. The intent of this case is for discussion purposes only. <br />Attachments <br />Review Process <br />Review Dates <br />Key Reminders <br />Planning and Zoning 101 <br />Planning Commission Guide <br />Zoning Guide <br />Subdivision Guide <br />Introduction to Robert's Rules of Order <br />Administration for Boards and Commissions <br />Structure of Chapter 117 <br />
