CASE <br /> <br />STATUS OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS <br />ISSUED IN THE CITY OF RAMSEY; <br /> By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The issue of the number of conditional use permits being issued in Ramsey and the amount of staff <br />time to process applications and provide follow-up enforcement has been a recent topic of <br />discussion amongst the City Council members. For almost two years, I have been searching out <br />land use applications relating to conditional use permits, rezonings and variances. I have taken <br />each situation, tried to reconstruct the case and logged pertinent information on a computer <br />spreadsheet. The land use case ~es were then placed in color coded folders and filed in the <br />appropriate property file. Since then, I have been making contact with each of the property owners <br />where records indicate a conditional use permit had been issued. The purpose for this was to <br />determine whether or not the conditional use permit is still active. (City Code states that when a <br />conditional use permit is not active for 12 consecutive months, then it is considered void.) <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />To date, I have found 221 Conditional Use Permit cases. The status of those conditional use <br />permks is as follows: <br /> <br />Denied: 29 <br /> <br />Withdrawn: 26 <br /> <br />Expired: 89 <br /> <br />Active: 73 <br /> <br />Expired but Active: <br /> <br />Pending: 1 <br /> <br />Enclosed for your information is an excerpt of the spreadsheet I maintain on conditional use <br />permits. <br /> <br />There is not a system in place for regular inspections of conditional use permits for compliance. <br />Violations of conditional use permit terms would come to the attention of City Staff on a complaint <br />basis only at this time. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />No action required at this time; this item is for your information. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />P&Z: 7/2/91 <br /> <br />City Engineer <br />Zoning Administrator <br />City Council <br /> <br /> <br />
