Jaqueline Abendroth, 15810 Sodium Street, stated that she is not thoroughly understanding what <br />is being proposed at this point. She stated that she understands that the change in zoning needs <br />to occur for the property but was unsure the impact that would have to the adjacent property <br />owners. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill explained that this action simply creates a tool and is <br />not specific to a property. He explained that even when they get to the next case that would not <br />change anything for the commercial property, above what has already been approved for that <br />commercial property. <br />Councilmember Heinrich stated that she has appreciated the residents that have provided input <br />throughout this process and the diligence of staff in listing the specific activity that would not be <br />allowed on the property. She commented that this is a great level of detail for the Neighborhood <br />Business District. <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked for classification on this first action. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill explained that the zoning district must first be <br />created and in the second case it will be requested to apply it to a specific property. He stated <br />that the new zoning district is more conducive to the specific property, noting that both actions <br />are in attempt to resolve an existing zoning conflict. <br />Councilmember Shryock stated that she appreciates that the district clearly states what is not <br />allowed. She was unsure if the on -sale liquor portion would be appropriate as a conditional use <br />and would fit within a neighborhood. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated that use was added by the Planning <br />Commission. He provided an example of a restaurant in Champlin that serves alcohol but is <br />residential looking and tucked within a neighborhood. He stated that the hour limitation of 9:00 <br />p.m. was added to limit the type of use to a smaller cafe or restaurant rather than a bar and grill <br />type use. <br />Acting Mayor Riley stated that he understands that this could be applied through the whole city <br />and asked if this would be too restrictive for other areas of Ramsey. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated that the City would be able to choose where <br />this would be applied, or whether a different zoning district would be appropriate. He noted that <br />the B-1 district could be used in other locations to allow more flexibility. <br />Motion by Councilmember Kuzma, seconded by Councilmember Shryock, to introduce <br />Ordinance #19-05 an amendment to City Code Chapter 117 (Zoning and Subdivision of Land) to <br />add a Neighborhood Business District. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Acting Mayor Riley, Councilmembers Kuzma, Shryock, Heinrich, <br />and Musgrove. Voting No: None. Absent: Mayor LeTourneau. <br />City Council / February 26, 2019 <br />Page 8 of 11 <br />
