BUSINES ZONES Section 8) Planner Uillerud stated that old B-1 and new B-1 are quite similar in in;;ent; , the new B-1 would appear to be tighter in some respects. There ir% a distinct change between the proposed B-2 and the present ordirance, In the new ordinance, the shopping center zone has been changed to B-3. 135-- SWial Council Meeting May 1, 3, 1975 Page 136 r Mr. Fran Hagen, representative of the Planning Commission, stated that the service business on the original concept was described to be to try and keep the,com ercial area cleseltogether and everything else surrounding it in theory).

The proposed B-2 is the Service Business 0-3 is a Shopping Center - - there is no MOTION was made by Councilman H4nt, seconded by Councilman Neils, that Service Business Districts be labeled 8-3 and Shopping Districts be labeled B-2. Motion carried, five ayes. I ZONES (Section 8) The proposed ordinance combines the present I-1 and I-2 zones. You end up with a list of permitted uses quite similar to those permitted in the old I-1. The uses that were conditional in the old 1-1 and permitted and conditional in the old 1-2 all become conditional in the I-1. Mayor Hilde questioned whether we are going to too great an extent to inhibit future industrial growth by not having a wi0e enough spectrum. Also by eliminating the I-2, isn't there a possibility Haat we have weakened our position? Councilman Neils stated that the present ordinance is so restrictive and he is concerned that we are closing the door on a good deal of potential development by getting too fussy with industrial zoning. We have gotten pretty tight in terms of outside storage, specifically in the I-1 district. Mayor Hilde commented that ever since he has been on the Council, we have been rnuti nely granting Conditional Use Pe,-ini is for so many things and this is extra work. Developers have expressed concern that when they have a customer, one deterrent to the proposition is the Conditional Use Pend t becacise they have to get permission from the Council. Councilman Neils stated that si.ice he has been on the Council, he could not think of one Conditional Use Permit that has been turned down. We have moderate performance standards, site planning control and we must take a good look at what we can eliminate from the Conditional Use category. It was :suggested by Councilman Hunt that Conditional Uses on Page 45, Item 1 should read as follows; "Any manufacturing, production, processing, cleaning, storage, servicing, repair ano testing of materials, goods or products similar to those uses permitted in this district whose business is o.nolly contained within a building and which meet proper sound, air emission and health standards". 136- 11 LJ J i SpecialCouncil Meeting May M, 1915 Page 131 It was suggir ted that staff prepare iariguage which would cause a Conditional Use Permit to be required wherever a standard might be exceeded and alsc that for outside finished products a Pertnit,miaht be required. Any manufacturer that exceeds the performance standards by mdse cr proposes outside storage of anything would require a Conditional Use Permit. NOTION was made by Councilman Neils. seconded by :ouncilman Spaeth, that staff'be directed to capture the essence of this discission of interpretation of Conditional Use Permits and incorporate it in their draft. lotion carried, five eyes. CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS Section 9) Councilman Neils stated that it was not clear to him how anyone develops anything - other than half -acre residential ;its without going through the PUD. MOTION was Made by Councilman Neils. seconded by Councilman- Spaeth that we retain to the fullest extent possible withir the ordinance the specific ordinance ategories by which development can proceed without the PUD process or work the UD process into such a form that if a residential proposal is not substantially different from the normal platting that the cor^cept plan staqe of the PUD can be nodified or waived. Kotion carried, five ayes. MOTION was made by Councilman Neils, seconded by Counci1m.4in Spaeth, to retain: the Itradtional ordinance regulations that permit a man to follow definitive, auantita- tive rules and develop a property with that guidance without having to go through the PUD process. (Subdivision Unit Project) Motion carried, five ayes. Planneor Dilierud suggested teat Council should take a look at the bonus given a developer for going RPUD. Maybe we should reduce the bonus somewhat. Councilman Neils stated that he saw no virtue in that appo%oach at alit Mayor Hilde questioned if it it right for us to insist on half -acre lots in Plymouth for single family ai1.as. What are our existing citizens going to think? He stated that he thought all R-1 should be allo4pd to come in with at least three dwelling units per acre, etaining the present ,'1D to allow flexibility without going through the concept st,Itae on small plots if the proposal meets the Guide Plan and Thoroughfare Plan. M10TION was made by Coir_cilrnkin Ne°iis, seconded by Councilman Spaeth, that for residential uhdivi,;ion other than the 10,500 square foot lots,, there are some tried and true a. 1t zoning rizgulations and classifir'ations cin the books for developing land like R-1 Shiloh or v in r s single lot that is zoned for it without the pulp i de el oP g a tow hou a on a , ng e c L I')tion-ar ri,401 fo.ar ay4s, Cou,%Ilman Noibold vot, d MOTION 44s wi ie by ',cunt;: I inar1 'lluilt, sec%,° -4 ed ty Ccrincliman Neils, that the miaimum pyL1 _ F;r"i tri %1 ;i1 ,he tw lU sPrtIim d ,b increase{' kc 4 al -rhes. 1 I f' _ Ir' A v v sped `i tyounciI Neeting Z 3 1975 alil8 Notion carried, five ayes.
