<br />CASE # 25 <br /> <br />Public Hearing <br />CONSIDER ADDING SECTION 9.20.29 (PUBLIC/QUASI PUBLIC DISTRICT) . <br />OF THE ZONING CHAPTER OF CITY CODE: <br />CASE OF THE CITY OF RAMSEY <br />By: Breanne Daines, Associate Planner <br /> <br />Background: In 2001, the City of Ramsey adopted an updated comprehensive plan that re- <br />organized the zoning- and land use districts. A Public/Quasi Public district was added to the <br />Official Zoning Map at this time, but no standards were incorporated into City Code. A draft of <br />the Public/Quasi Public District regulations is enclosed for your review. <br /> <br />Notification: <br /> <br />In accordance with State Statute, a public hearing notice Was published in the Anoka County <br />Union. -- <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />The Public/Quasi Public district will include uses such as government buildings and facilities, <br />public and private recreational facilities (including golf courses) and schools. Originally, it was <br />discussed that churches could be in this district as well. However, after deliberation, it was <br />determined that it was preferable to permit churches in residential and business districts as a <br />conditional use because of the nature of site layout, building design, and high activity levels <br />associated with them. <br /> <br />The standards proposed are general guidelines for development in this district. As part of the <br />guidelines, the construction of buildings will be subject to the site plan review process. In order <br />to allow for a variety of options necessary in this district, it is proposed that development plans <br />will be subject to applicable B-1 Business standards. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Discuss the elements of the proposed zoning change, and provide feedback to staff and Council <br />regarding the establishment of standards. <br /> <br />Motion to recommend that the City Council introduce an ordinance to add Chapter 9.20.29 <br />(Public/Quasi Public District) to the Ramsey City Code. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br />Community Development Director <br />Assistant Community Development Director <br />Associate Planners <br /> <br />PC: 8/3/06 <br /> <br />79 <br />
