PUBLIC HEARINGS/COMMISSION BUSINESS 6.01: Public Hearing: Anoka Ramsey Athletic Association (KRH Land LLC/ISE Inc.) Rezoning and Zoning Code Text Amendment at 14622 and 14650 Ferret Street Public Hearing Chairperson Bauer called the public hearing to order at 7:02 p.m. Presentation i Planning Manager Larson presented the staff report stating that staff recommends approval of Ordinance #22-21 for rezoning pro ert from COR to E-3 and Ordinance #22-22 for a text property amendment adding Medical Clinics as a permitted use in the E-3 district. i Commissioner VanScoy referenced the COR requirements and noted that it seems that all of those uses would be allowed. He asked the rational for the change to E-3 and then to also change the text of E-3. Planning Manager Larson stated that it is his understanding that the fitness centers within the COR were imagined at a smaller scale than what is proposed. He noted that this would not follow the COR design principals and provided examples. Commissioner VanScoy commented that it would then seem the architectural standards are the issue as the proposed uses would seem to be allowed within the COR districts. Planning Manager Larson confirmed that to be correct. Chairperson Bauer noted that exceptions have been made to the architectural standards and asked if that could be done in this case. Planning Manager Larson noted that it would be a very large exception in this case. Commissioner Anderson asked the proposed square footage of the medical center. Planning Manager Larson replied that the site plan is still in flux. Planning Commission/June 23, 2022 Page 2 of 19
