Chairperson Bauer noted the inclusion of a final plat and stated that typically the Commission only <br /> acts on preliminary plat. <br /> Senior Planner Anderson confirmed that the City Council takes action on final plat, but it was <br /> listed in the action items for transparency and because the actions are being presented together. <br /> He noted that the Commission would not technically take action on the sketch plan or final plat <br /> items. <br /> Commissioner Anderson stated that he has issue with R-1 in this instance and asked if there is an <br /> agricultural zoning district. <br /> Senior Planner Anderson replied that the City does not have an agricultural zoning district and <br /> advised that use is allowed within R-1. He noted that if the Commission desired, they could <br /> consider creating an agricultural district in the future but advised that this request should be <br /> considered as presented. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff asked if staff would also consider adding greenhouses as a conditional <br /> use for R-2. He noted that could solve this problem without having to rezone or amend the <br /> Comprehensive Plan. <br /> Senior Planner Anderson replied that Ramsey is already teetering on the density requirements, <br /> therefore it would seem appropriate to allow this use in R-1 and not impact the higher density <br /> districts. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff noted that almost all of parcel one could be rezoned as R-2 and some <br /> of those lots per acre could be regained. <br /> Senior Planner Anderson commented that could be an option if that route is chosen. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff stated that he is not essentially suggesting it but noted that would be <br /> an option to help Ramsey teeter the other way. <br /> Commissioner Anderson commented that his concern is that there are too many zoning districts <br /> and things should be simplified. He recognized that the best fit for this commercial operation <br /> would be R-1 but would be interested in other options that could make this work. He noted that <br /> there are other businesses within the R-1 district that could be reviewed in the future. He stated <br /> that he would be interested in reviewing this topic in the future. <br /> Chairperson Bauer noted that could be included in the upcoming review of the zoning districts. <br /> Commissioner Walker asked if staff has an estimate on how far the notices were sent and how <br /> many people were notified. <br /> Planning Commission/ July 28, 2022 <br /> Page 6 of 13 <br />
