1 on primary conservation areas, public river corridor views, and other resources identified in <br /> 2 the MRCCA plan. In reviewing the variance application,the City of Ramsey shall: <br /> 3 a. Evaluate the impacts to these resources. and if negative impacts are found, require <br /> 4 conditions to mitigate the impacts that are related to and proportional to the impacts, <br /> 5 consistent with Section 220 of this chapter and <br /> 6 b. Make written findings that the variance is consistent with the purpose of this section, <br /> 7 as follows: <br /> 8 1. The extent, location and intensity of the variance will be in substantial compliance <br /> 9 with the MRCCA plan; <br /> 10 2. The variance is consistent with the character and management purpose of the <br /> 11 MRCCA district in which it is located; <br /> 12 3. The variance will not be detrimental to PCAs and PRCVs nor will it contribute to <br /> 13 negative incremental impacts to PCAs and PRCVs when considered in the context <br /> 14 of past, present and reasonable future actions; and <br /> 15 4. The variance will not negatively impact (other MRCCA plan-identified resources). <br /> 16 (4) Conditional and interim use permits. All conditional and interim uses, required under this <br /> 17 section, must comply with Minn. Stats. § 462.3595 and must consider the potential impacts <br /> 18 on primary conservation areas, public river corridor views, and other resources identified in <br /> 19 the MRCCA plan. In reviewing the application,the City of Ramsey shall: <br /> 20 a. Evaluate the impacts to these resources and if negative impacts are found, require <br /> 21 conditions to mitigate the impacts that are related to and proportional to the impacts, <br /> 22 consistent with Section 235 of this chapter and <br /> 23 b. Make written findings that the conditional use is consistent with the purpose of this <br /> 24 section, as follows: <br /> 25 1. The extent, location and intensity of the conditional use will be in substantial <br /> 26 compliance with the MRCCA plan; <br /> 27 2. The conditional use is consistent with the character and management purpose of <br /> 28 the MRCCA district in which it is located; <br /> 29 3. The conditional use will not be detrimental to PCAs and PRCVs nor will it <br /> 30 contribute to negative incremental impacts to PCAs and PRCVs when considered <br /> 31 in the context of past, present and reasonable future actions; and <br /> 32 4. The conditional use will not negatively impact (other MRCCA plan-identified <br /> 33 resources). <br /> 34 (5) Conditions of approval. The City of Ramsey shall evaluate the impacts to PCAs, PRCVs, and <br /> 35 other resources identified in the MRCCA plan, and if negative impacts are found, require <br /> 36 conditions to mitigate the impacts that are related to and proportional to the impacts. <br /> 37 Mitigation may include: <br /> 38 a. Restoration of vegetation identified as "vegetation restoration priorities" identified in <br /> 39 the MRCCA plan; <br /> 40 b. Preservation of existing vegetation; <br /> 41 C. Stormwater runoff management; <br /> 42 d. Reducing impervious surface; <br /> 43 e. Increasing structure setbacks; <br /> 44 f. Wetland and drainageway restoration and/or preservation; and <br /> 45 g. And other conservation measures. <br /> 46 (6) Application materials. Applications for permits and discretionary actions required under this <br /> 47 section must submit the following information unless the zoning administrator determines <br /> 48 that the information is not needed: <br /> 49 a. A detailed project description; and <br /> Page 94 of 147 <br />
