Compliance with the <br />landscape standards in the Employment Districts is becoming challenging based on the typical <br />building footprint, amount of impervious area, and stormwater management (ponds, which all <br />restrict planting locations. The proposed amendment would reduce the number of required <br />plantings but should still result in well landscaped projects. Furthermore, consolidating all <br />landscaping standards into one Section will eliminate a lot of repetitive language in the zoning <br />districts. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Riley, seconded by Councilmember Musgrove, to waive the City <br />Charter requirement to read the ordinance aloud and Adopt Ordinance #21-06 Amending Sections <br />117-111 (R-1 Residential District), 117-112 (R-2 Residential District), 117-113 (R-3 Residential <br />District), 117-114 (B-1 General Business District), 117-115 (B-2 General Business District), 117- <br />116 (E-2 Employment District), 117-117 )E-1 Employment District, 117-120 (H-1 Highway 10 <br />Business District), 117-121 (B-3 Business District), 117-124 (E-3 Employment District), and 117- <br />125 (Neighborhood Business District) of Chapter 117 of the City Code of Ramsey, Minnesota. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Musgrove thanked staff and the other Boards that put time <br />and effort into making this an easier to read document. <br /> <br />A roll call vote was performed: <br /> <br />Councilmember Heineman aye <br />Councilmember Woestehoff aye <br />Councilmember Specht aye <br />Councilmember Musgrove aye <br />City Council / June 8, 2021 <br />Page 8 of 9 <br /> <br />
