<br />Councilmember Musgrove referenced the buffering and transitioning standards and asked if that <br />would be part of an additional conversation or whether she would bring those concerns forward <br />now. <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill noted those comments could be addressed tonight. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove referenced the language within the case related to buffering and density <br />transitioning standards and asked for clarification. <br /> <br />City Planner Anderson commented that the buffering standards between commercial/industrial <br />properties and residential districts would be added into the one or two districts where it currently <br />does not exist. He explained that buffering standards act similarly to density transitioning but <br />explained that buffering is between the industrial/commercial districts that abut residential whereas <br />density transitioning is more specific between residential districts of different density. <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that the ordinance was included as part of the packet, <br />whereas that information was summarized within the case to provide clarity to the proposed <br />changes. He stated that if acceptable to the Council this would move forward to the ordinance <br />introduction and adoption process. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was to move forward on the ordinance introduction and adoption <br />process as presented. <br /> <br />2.02: Receive Update on Upcoming Ramsey Gateway Virtual Open House <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill reviewed the staff report. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma asked the length of the video. <br /> <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill replied that the video is about eight or nine minutes long. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht commented that he watched the video and found it to be good.
