All
right
welcome
to
the
regular
meeting
of
the
City
Planning
Commission
for
Monday
April
24th
2023.
My
name
is
Bill
Baxley
and
I'm,
the
vice
chair
of
this
committee.
A
The
city
will
be
recording
and
posting
this
meeting
to
the
city's
website
and
YouTube
channel
as
a
means
of
increasing
Public,
Access
and
transparency.
This
meeting
is
public
and
subject
to
the
Minnesota
open
meeting
law.
At
this
time,
I'll
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
roll,
so
we
can
verify
a
quorum
for
this
meeting.

A
A
A
A
So
before
we
get
started
on
sorting
the
public
hearing
agenda,
I
just
want
to
note
that
I
know.
Many
of
you
are
here
because
you're
interested
in
the
zoning
code
text,
Amendment
I,
want
to
assure
you
we
will
be
discussing
that
item.
It
will
not
be
approved
on
consent.
However,
we
have
a
few
other
pieces
of
business.
We
need
to
attend
to
first,
so
that
item
will
be
dealt
with
last
as
such.
A
If
you're
here
for
the
zoning
code
text
Amendment
and
are
currently
sitting
in
Chambers,
we
invite
you
to
wait
in
the
Overflow
room
across
the
hall
you
don't
have
to,
but
you
could
room
319
so
that
there's
room
in
the
chambers
for
those
who
have
also
taken
out
time
of
their
day
to
come
down
here
to
address
the
other
two
business
items
on
tonight's
agenda.
A
Thank
you
for
your
consideration
with
that
being
said,
our
next
order
of
business
is
to
organize
the
public
hearing
agenda,
which
is
available
at
limbs.minneapolis
mn.gov,
there's
also
a
copy
on
the
corner
table.
If
you
need
one
I
will
read
through
the
agenda
numbers
and
addresses
and
state
whether
it's
slated
for
consent.
Continuance
return,
withdrawal
or
discussion
I'll.
Also
briefly
explain
the
difference
between
consent
and
discussion
items.
A
Consent
items
are
those
that
will
be
passed
without
discussion
by
the
board.
We
will
be
hearing
adhering
to
the
staff
recommendation
listed
on
the
agenda
and
the
item's
recommended
motion.
Section
importantly,
any
applicable
conditions
will
be
listed
in
this
same
section.
If
you
agree
with
this
recommendation,
including
any
applicable
conditions,
you
do
not
need
to
do
anything.
A
A
If
you
are
in
the
Overflow
room
across
the
hall
room
319,
please
let
a
member
of
security
know
that
you
need
to
be
in
Chambers,
so
that
we
can
acknowledge
your
desire
to
move
the
item
to
discussion
with
that.
The
following

on
the
agenda
for
this

A
We
will
now
move
on
to
discussion
items
I'll
explain
what
those
are
discussion.
Items
are,
those
for
which
the
board
will
take
public
testimony
deliberate
on
and
make
a
decision
after
the
public.
Testimony
has
been
heard
for
that
particular
discussion.
Item
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
for
that
agendum
item.
Once
I
close
the
public
hearing
for
an
item,
no
additional
public
testimony
can
be
taken.
However,
staff
may
still
be
asked
to
address
board
questions
after
the
public
hearing.
For
an
item
is
closed.
Board
members
will
then
discuss
and
act
on
motions.
A
As
you
can
see,
there
are
a
lot
of
folks
here
for
this
meeting
and
this
item.
In
order
to
respect
everyone's
time,
we
will
be
limiting
public
comments
to
two
minutes
per
person.
This
is
not
to
edit
your
two
minutes
and
chance
to
get
up
in
the
podium,
so
we
can
hear
everybody
speak
and
that's
really
important.
A
F
Thank
you,
commissioner,
Baxley
good
afternoon
Commissioners.
We
are
extremely
pleased
to
be
bringing
to
you
the
land
use
rezoning
study
for
your
consideration.
Today,
we've
met
with
you
a
number
of
times
about
this
topic
and
we're
finally,
to
this
point
and
excited
to
be
reaching
the
public
hearing
point
in
the
process.
I'll
be
joined
by
three
of
our
planners
today:
Andrew
friends,
Janelle
widmeyer
and
Joe
Bernard.
F
As
you're
aware,
the
land
use
rezoning
study
is
a
key
part
of
the
implementation
of
Minneapolis
2040.
It
has
the
effect
of
eliminating
all
of
the
overt
conflicts
between
Minneapolis
2040
and
our
land
use
zoning
text
and
map.
Not
only
is
that
a
good
practice,
but
it's
required
by
state
law
as
well
to
eliminate
those
conflicts.
F
We'll
summarize
the
proposed
ordinance
and
then
we'll
cover
some
key
topics,
including
going
over
key
changes
that
have
taken
place
to
the
draft
cped
recommendations.
Since
a
draft
was
review
released
to
the
public
back
in
January
for
the
next,
several
slides
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Joe
Bernard.
Thank
you.
G
Good
afternoon,
commissioners,
we
want
to
start
off
by
recapping
how
we
got
here
prior
to
2019,
the
city
spent
three
years
engaging
with
stakeholders
on
the
future
of
Minneapolis
as
part
of
the
comprehensive
Plan
update
process.
The
adoption
of
the
city's
comprehensive,
Plan
called
Minneapolis
2040
kick-started
a
focus
by
staff
on
implementing
the
plan.
G
G
This
work
required
both
internal
and
external
engagement
and
coordination
and
culminating
in
a
public
review
period,
which
was
completed
in
March
of
this
year
after
the
Planning
Commission
meeting
this
evening.
These
regulations
will
be
considered
by
the
city
council
as
part
of
their
regular
meeting
schedule.
G
Among
other
important
policy,
Direction
Minneapolis
2040
includes
parcel
specific
guidance
for
the
size
of
buildings
on
every
property
in
the
city.
We've
refer
to
that
as
built
form
and
the
types
of
uses
that
can
be
established
on
a
given
property,
so
built
form
includes
things
like
height
setback,
floor
area
ratio
and
that
work
was
completed
in
2021..
G
Land
use
covers
the
activities
that
are
allowed
to
take
place
on
a
given
property
determined
by
the
primary
zoning
District
applied
to
that
property.
So,
as
of
right
now,
Jason
mentioned,
there
are
a
number
of
conflicts
that
exist
between
our
zoning
code
and
what
our
zoning
code
does
or
does
not
allow,
and
what
Minneapolis
2040
says
should
be
allowed.
G
What
informs
the
regulations
before
you
this
evening
are
the
vision,
the
vision
goals
and
policies
found
in
Minneapolis
2040.
So
for
three
years
the
city
conducted
public
Outreach
to
shape
the
plan
over
the
course
of
150
over
150
meetings
and
over
20
000
points
of
feedback.
G
So
as
we're
doing
our
work,
we're
asking
ourselves
questions
like
those
on
this
slide.
Are
we
advancing
Minneapolis
2040
goals?
Are
we
eliminating
conflicts
between
policy
and
regulation?
Are
we
making
it
easier
for
users
to
navigate
the
code
and
what
are
the
racial
Equity
impacts
of
these
decisions?
F
As
Joe
mentioned,
we
have
done
a
substantial
amount
of
reorganizing
of
the
zoning
codes
content.
We
recognize
that
it's
still
a
lengthy
and
pretty
complex
legal
document.
It
has
to
cover
a
wide
range
of
contexts,
but
one
thing
one
part
of
the
reorganization
that
we
are
excited
about
is
consolidating
the
use
table
into
a
single
use
table
that
has
some
color
coordination
with
our
zoning
maps
and
that
doesn't
attempt
to
list
every
single
use
that
one
can
imagine
but
refers
to
use
categories
that
are
that
list,
a
variety
of
examples
elsewhere.
F
In
the
code
of
what
is
covered
in
the
in
the
use
table,
we
think
this
is
going
to
substantially
improve
the
kind
of
the
comprehension
of
the
code,
partly
because
you
don't
have
to
jump
back
and
forth
between
five
different
chapters
to
see
whether
your
use
is
allowed
as
Joe
referenced.
All
of
the
primary
zoning
districts
that
are
proposed
are
brand
new.
The
districts
that
you're
familiar
with
the
R1
through
R6,
the
or1
through
or3,
go
away
as
part
of
the
recommended
actions.
F
The
primary
zoning
districts
largely
align
with
the
future
land
use
guidance
in
the
future
land
use
map
in
Minneapolis
2040.
However,
there
have
been
some
areas
where
some
discretion
had
had
to
be
used,
for
example,
in
much
of
the
downtown
area
in
the
future
land
use
map.
It's
one
category.
We
didn't
think
that
was
a
sufficient
Nuance
to
handle
the
wide
variety
of
contexts
within
that
geographic
area.
So
we
use,
in
that
case
the
boundaries
of
built
form
districts
to
help
guide
where
the
the
boundaries
of
future
land
use
districts
would
would
be.
H
New
commercial
to
business
development
is
not
allowed
in
these
districts,
except
where
select
commercial
uses
are
proposed
to
be
allowed
through
adaptive,
reuse
of
existing
structures.
There
are
three
Urban
neighborhood
districts
proposed,
and
these
are
primarily
distinguished
by
the
types
of
residential
uses
allowed.
The
map
location
of
each
district
is
impacted
by
the
built
form
designation,
which
has
relevant
land
use
guidance
for
certain
areas.
H
The
un-1
district,
the
lowest
intensity
district,
is
predominantly
small-scale
residential
uses
where
individual
lots
are
allowed
to
have
up
to
three
dwelling
units
and
to
be
consistent
with
the
belt
form.
Guidance
is
only
mapped
on
properties
with
interior.
One
built
from
guidance,
un2
allows
predominantly
small
to
moderate
scale
residential
uses
and
then
addition,
in
addition
to
the
un-1
district
uses
that
are
allowed.
The
un2
district
allows
multiple
family
dwellings
with
four
or
more
units,
and
it's
mapped
on
properties,
with
interior,
to
an
interior,
three
built
form
guidance
and
with
un3.
H
This
is
in
locations
where
we
have
a
property
nearer
to
Transit
routes
and
Metro
stations
and
again
it's
allowing
more
uses
than
would
be
allowed
in
un2
and
it's
mapped
in
all
other
areas.
All
other
built
form
areas.
H
H
They
are
established
to
provide
an
environment
of
mixed
use,
residential
office,
institutional
uses
and
some
smaller
scale,
lower
impact
commercial
uses,
and
these
districts
would
Implement
three
areas
of
future
land
use,
guidance,
first,
being
goods
and
services
Corridor
a
particular
language
regarding
the
properties
immediately
adjacent
to
goods
and
services,
corridors
to
be
considered
for
commercial
activity,
the
neighborhood
office
and
services,
future
land
use
designation,
as
well
as
the
public
office
and
institutional
future
land
use,
designation
and
again
for
these
residential
districts.
We're
proposing
three
districts,
the
first
one
being
rm1.
H
Corridor
that
are
guided
for
urban
neighborhood
future
land
use,
then,
with
the
rm2
district
again
allowing
some
small-scale
commercial
activity-
and
these
would
be
this
district
is
applied
where
we
have
the
neighborhood
offices
and
services,
land,
use
guidance
and
then,
lastly,
arm
three.
G
G
G
A
unique
attribute
of
this
district
is
that
the
policy
calls
for
allowing
some
Auto
uses,
whereas
in
all
the
other
commercial
districts,
it's
clear
that
they,
those
uses,
are
not
allowed.
The
Third
District
here
is
community
mixed
use.
This
designation
is
typically
found
in
higher
density
locations
in
areas
with
good
Transit
service
and
where
you
would
expect
to
see
more
pedestrian
activity.
G
It's
often
at
the
intersection
of
two
major
corridors.
The
plan
calls
for
non-residential
uses
to
be
a
part
of
all
development
in
this
District,
so
single-use
residential
is
not
permitted
in
these
locations.
Finally,
there's
destination
mixed
use.
This
designation
is
really
similar
to
community
mixed
use,
but
with
the
added
detail
that
commercial
activity
is
required
on
the
first
floor
of
all
development-
and
this
is
applied
relatively
sparingly
across
the
city
in
at
right
at
the
the
center
of
major
intersections,
think
Broadway
and
Penn
or
or
lake
in
Lindale,.
G
Since
the
guidance
in
Minneapolis
2040
is
pretty
clear
for
the
commercial
districts
we're
proposing
to
match
the
future
land
use
map
one
to
one
by
establishing
four
new
commercial
zoning
districts
with
the
same
name
as
the
future
land
use
designations.
You
can
see
here
where
they're
applied
on
the
map.
The
key
distinctions
are,
as
I
described
on
the
previous
slide,
with
regulations
that
reflect
a
need
for
smaller
scale
uses
in
that
cm1
district
and
with
requirements
for
non-residential
and
Commercial
uses
in
the
cm3
and
cm4
districts.
I
So
in
Minneapolis,
2040
for
production
districts
and
production
future
land
use,
we
have
two
future
land
use
designations
that
relate
to
production,
uses
and
production
and
processing.
The
first
is
production,
mixed
use,
which
is
a
district
that's
intended
to
allow
for
light
industrial,
low
or
non-polluting
production
uses,
along
with
a
wide
variety
of
other
uses,
to
include
other
other
creative
uses.
I
Some
limited
commercial
residential
uses,
institutional
uses,
a
great
diversity
of
uses,
and
then
the
production
and
processing
future
land
use
designation,
which
is
intended
to
be
limited
to
protect
of
available
land
for
production
and
processing,
uses
that
generate
jobs
and
and
and
support
support
in
a
production
economy.
I
We
also
have
some
specific
policy
action
steps
in
the
2040
plan
that
relate
to
production
uses,
some
of
which
are
a
fairly
large
departure
from
how
we
regulate
those
uses
under
the
current
code
and
one
of
those
that
really
informed
our
recommendations
is
the
first
one
here
which
caught
or
the
first
two
here,
which
call
for
us
to
limit
those
production
and
processing
uses
which
have
the
greatest
potential
for
negative
impacts
on
human
health
and
the
environment.
I
So
staff
has
recommended
two
new
production
zoning
districts.
You
can
see
those
on
the
map
here.
The
first
is
the
pr1
district,
that's
indicated
in
the
lighter
purple
color
and
that
district
is
mapped
to
correspond
directly
with
the
production
mixed
use,
future
land
use
designation
and
is
somewhat
similar
to
today's
I-1
district
with
the
industrial
living
overlay.
It
allows
for
a
mix
of
light
industrial
uses,
some
limited
commercial
uses,
as
well
as
residential
uses
with
those
larger
scale
residential
uses.
I
They
are
required
to
incorporate
some
form
of
production
space
into
the
building,
and
then
the
PR2
district
is
proposed
to
be
mapped,
as
shown
here
in
the
deeper
purple
color
and
to
correspond
directly
with
the
production
and
processing
future
land
use
designation.
That
district
is
somewhat
similar
to
today's
I2
District.
We
have
moved
a
number
of
uses
that
are
currently
allowed
in
the
I-2
district
up
to
to
be
prohibited
or
to
be
further
restricted,
based
on
public
feedback,
as
well
as
conversations
with
our
health
department
and
data
that
we
have
on
air
emissions.
I
One
thing
that
is
important
to
note
here
is
that,
under
the
current
zoning
code
we
have
three
industrial
districts.
We
have
the
i1,
the
I2
and
the
I3
District.
We
are
not
proposing
a
new
zoning
District
that
fulfills
the
same
purpose
as
the
I3
District
today,
because
we
have
those
action
steps
which
call
for
prohibiting
those
uses
that
that
are
currently
intended
for
the
I3
district
and
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
Jason.
F
I
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
downtown
districts
we
had
been
operating
under
a
draft
recommendation
that
there
would
have
been
three
downtown
zoning
districts.
We
discussed
previously
with
you
that
we
have
recommended
consolidating
that
consolidating
that
down
to
two,
after
realizing,
really
that
there
were
very,
very
minor
distinctions
between
two
of
those
districts
that
we
had
been
proposing.
Just
as
an
example.
Garage
for
public
Vehicles
is
a
a
use
that
would
be
allowed
in
the
downtown
Center
District,
but
not
the
downtown
destination
District.
That's
that
would
retain.
F
It
would
be
a
a
difference
that
we
would
obtain
between
the
two
districts
that
that
would
be
moving
forward
with,
with
this
recommendation,
the
really
the
biggest
difference
between
the
downtown
Center
and
the
downtown
destination
district
is
that,
like
the
down
destination,
mixed
use,
District
the
downtown
destination
District
would
require
retail
type
uses
and
food
and
beverage
type
uses
on
the
ground
floor.
G
G
The
recommendation
here
is
to
Zone
all
property
guided
for
parks
with
a
primary
zoning
District
that
reflects
the
adjacent
future
land
use
guidance.
This
is
a
change
from
the
January
draft
that
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
in
a
couple
minutes,
but
the
main
reason
here
being
that
parks
are
permitted
in
all
zoning
districts.
So
the
way
this
works
is
how
it
was
applied
is
if
a
park
was
surrounded
by
Urban
neighborhood
future
land
use
guidance
that
Park
was
given
Urban
neighborhood.
Zoning
last
is
the
transportation
future
land
use.
G
G
That
wraps
up
the
overview
of
the
primary
districts
we've
got
some
other
changes.
We
want
to
make
everyone
aware
of,
and
we'll
start
here
with,
the
changes
to
the
proposed
overlay
districts
in
the
zoning
code
when
the
built
form
rezoning
study
was
completed.
Most
of
the
built
form
content
that
existed
in
our
overlay
districts
at
that
time
were
moved
to
that
new
chapter.
G
So
what
remained
in
some
of
these
overlaid
districts
were
only
a
handful
of
use
related
regulations,
as
you
can
see
on
this
slide,
staff
is
proposing
eliminating
four
districts
that
have
become
obsolete
because
we've
proposed
to
move
these
regulations
to
other
parts
of
the
code
or
they're
otherwise
covered
by
other
parts
of
the
code.
Andrew
had
mentioned.
The
industrial
living
overlay
district
is
one
that
we
feel
is
made
redundant
by
the
new
pr1
District.
G
We
should
note
that
there
there
were
some
changes.
The
Shoreland
overlay
District
that
we
implemented
that
we
proposed
and
those
are
to
be
in
compliance
with
State
rules
around
lot,
Dimension
requirements
in
Shoreland
areas
and
then
the
last
one
here
is
that
there
are
some
changes
to
the
built
form
overlay
districts
as
well,
they're,
largely
unchanged,
but
some
updates
were
necessary
to
address
regulations
that
were
previously
tied
to
the
old
primary
zoning
districts.
G
The
next
few
slides
we
are
going
to
summarize
a
handful
of
issues
that
were
raised
by
either
by
staff
or
through
public
feedback
that
we
considered
during
the
public
review
period.
Sometimes
these
issues
resulted
in
a
change
to
the
draft
materials,
and
sometimes
they
didn't.
The
first
example
here
is
that
there
were
a
fair
amount
of
comments
requesting
that
the
un-1
district
be
applied
to
areas
that
staff
recommended
for
un2.
J
G
Limits
residential
development
to
no
more
than
three
units
on
a
lot
while
un2
allows
four
plus
unit
development
on
larger
Lots.
So
the
decision
about
where
to
apply
un1
versus
un2
from
a
staff
perspective
here
is
determined
by
some
policy
language
in
Minneapolis
2040
in
the
built
form
districts
in
interior,
one
and
interior
two
here
in
this
example,
so
interior.
G
Two,
you
see
the
language
highlighted
here
clearly
states
that
multi-family
buildings,
with
more
than
three
units,
are
permitted
on
larger
Lots,
so
recall
that
we
have
to
eliminate
complex
conflicts
between
our
comprehensive
planner
zoning
code.
These
locations
need
to
have
a
primary
zoning
District
that
allows
four
plus
unit
developments,
so
staff
did
not
make
changes
to
the
draft
map.
In
response
to
these
comments
that
we
receive.
G
The
next
issue
staff
received
feedback
about
allowing
small
scale
commercial
uses
in
the
UN
districts.
The
key
policy
language
from
Urban
neighborhood
in
Minneapolis
2040,
is
highlighted
here.
The
only
commercial
uses
that
are
intended
to
be
allowed
in
urban
neighborhood
are
those
that
already
exist
and
that
expansion
of
those
existing
commercial
activities
beyond
their
existing
properties
is
not
encouraged.
So
this
policy
language
does
not
support.
G
in
the
January
draft
staff
applied
the
rm1
district
on
the
draft
Maps
two
properties
with
un
future
land
use
guidance
that
were
long
goods
and
services
corridors
and
we
relied
on
the
policy
language
that
is
shown
here.
That
mentions
properties
that
are
immediately
adjacent
to
those
corridors
being
appropriate
for
commercial
activity.
G
Excuse
me
a
north-south
corridors.
This
meant
just
one
parcel
was
crab,
but
on
East-West
corridors,
sometimes
many
Parcels
were
were
caught
after
additional
thought.
Staff
reconsidered
the
use
of
the
buffer
method
here
and
instead
only
applied
rm1
in
cases
in
these
cases
to
property,
again
quote
immediately
adjacent
to
the
corridor,
meaning
only
one
partial
deep.
So
on
North
South
corridors.
G
G
We
initially
recommended
a
Parks
specific
zoning
District
that
would
have
limited
the
uses
allowed
on
properties,
guided
for
parks
and
open
space
in
the
comp
plan.
However,
we
had
some
concerns
about
potential
for
regulatory
takings
in
some
cases
and
the
ability
of
the
park
board
to
operate
some
of
their
non-parks
functions.
So
the
result
here
is
that
we,
our
recommended
approach
of
applying
zoning
to
match
the
adjacent
future
land
use
guidance,
is
what
we've
gone
with
in
this
final
recommendation.
G
H
Increasing
food
access
is
one
of
the
main
themes
in
the
Public
Public
feedback
that
we
received,
and
this
is
also
something
that's
emphasized
in
several
adopted
policies.
Retail
sales
and
services
uses
were
identified
early
on
in
this
process
as
a
key
way
to
achieve
the
Minneapolis
2040
goal
of
complete
neighborhoods.
H
So
with
that
idea,
allowing
more
retail
uses
in
more
locations
should,
over
in
time,
increase
access
to
goods
and
services,
which
increases
the
opportunity
for
residents
to
meet
daily
needs
without
using
a
car,
and
grocery
stores
specifically
have
stood
out
from
this
use
category
in
the
public
feedback
as
being
essential
to
achieving
plan
goals,
and
so
then,
in
response
to
that
feedback,
we
adjusted
some
of
the
maximum
grossful
area
requirements
for
grocery
stores.
Specifically
in
the
rm1
district,
the
increase
went
up
to
10
000
square
feet
in
rm3.
H
It
was
increased
to
fifteen
thousand
and
it
was
also
added
as
a
permitted
use
in
the
PR2
District,
but
with
a
maximum
grossware
of
40
000
and
then
that
maximum
40
000
limit
was
also
applied
in
the
pr1
district,
where
we
had
already
proposed
to
allow
it.
The
reason
for
the
limit
in
those
districts
is
that
they're
meant
not
meant
to
be
retail
districts.
H
They
have
a
different
Focus,
so
you'll
notice
that
we
still
are
not
proposing
to
have
any
size
limits.
Our
growth
floor
area,
size
limits
in
the
cm2
cm3,
cm4
and
downtown
districts,
but
in
some
cases
there
could
be
existing
maximum
law
area
requirements
that
apply.
That
could
essentially
act
as
the
limit,
and
those
are
noted
here
also
on
the
screen.
H
H
Then
some
other
changes
related
to
increasing
food
access.
These
changes
were
made
to
allow
year-round
growing
for
Community
Gardens.
One
of
the
changes
was
amending
the
definition
of
greenhouse
to
accommodate
deep
winter
grow
houses.
Another
change
was
to
add
greenhouses
as
an
allowed
accessory
structure
for
Community
Gardens,
where
apparently
they're
not
allowed
at
all,
and
then
with
that
there's
actually
an
increase
that
would
be
allowed
to
the
total
accessory
floor
area
of
structures
on
the
property
of
20
percent,
whereas
currently
like
for
other
uses.
H
They're
typically
capped
at
10
percent,
and
another
consideration
was
that
or
a
change
was
that
a
greenhouse
is
allowed
to
be
up
to
a
1600
square
feet
when
the
lot
size
is
at
least
10
000
square
feet,
and
then,
lastly,
hoop
houses
are
allowed,
are
proposed
to
be
allowed
to
stay
up
longer
than
180
days
when
a
building
permit
is
obtained.
I
I
We've
also
moved
metal
plating
from
moderate
impact
to
high
impact
that
was
based
on
feedback
from
our
public
health
staff
from
the
public,
as
well
as
air
emissions.
Data
we've
also
split.
The
recycling
facility
used
into
two
separate
use
categories:
creating
a
recycling
center
which
would
be
allowed
in
in
the
pr1,
as
well
as
the
the
previous
recycling
facility,
which
is
more
restricted,
I
mean
those
are
divided
based
on
the
in
the
intensity
of
the
process.
I
Another
significant
change,
probably
the
the
biggest
change
of
the
production,
is
that
we've
reworked
the
spacing
requirement.
So
in
the
January
12th
draft,
we
had
a
300
foot
spacing
requirement
for
those
few
select
high
impact,
production
and
processing
uses
and
post-consumer
waste
processing
uses
which
we
were
proposing
to
continue
to
allow.
They
were
subject
to
a
300
foot
spacing
requirement
from
Urban
neighborhood
districts,
residential
uses,
schools,
child
care
and
public
parks,
and
they
were
also
subject
to
an
environmental
justice
risk
assessment
requirement.
I
We
received
a
lot
of
feedback
on
that
received
a
lot
of
feedback
from
the
public
that
that
spacing
requirement
was
not
stringent
enough
that
the
environmental
justice
risk
assessment
was
not
strong.
Enough
did
not
have
enough
teeth
for
enforcement.
We
also
received
a
lot
of
feedback
from
the
attorney's
office
about
potential
jurisdictional
conflict.
I
We
went
through
a
number
of
revisions
of
that
and
we've
transitioned
to
a
quarter
mile
spacing
requirement
that
is
much
more
stringent
than
what
was
previously
proposed,
and
importantly,
that's
now
structured
to
space
from
any
District
other
than
PR2
and
tr1.
So
not
only
are
we
spacing
from
where
we
have
residential
uses,
schools
and
child
care,
we're
spacing
from
anywhere
where
a
new
residential
use,
school
or
Child
Care
Center
could
be
established
in
the
future.
I
And
lastly,
we
have
moved
commercial
laundry
to
high
impact
and
inhibit
it
based
on
emissions,
data
and
feedback
from
public
health,
and
with
that
I
will
hand
it
over
back
to
Jason.
F
Commissioners
just
to
cover
a
couple
of
topics
that
are
heavily
regulated
through
licensing,
but
also
they
rely
on
Zoning
for
complementary
standards
to
govern
where
they
can
locate
tobacco
and
liquor
stores
tobacco
products
shop.
The
initial
recommendation
that
went
out
in
January
included
a
map
that
would
have
allowed
exclusive
tobacco
products
shops
much
more
widely.
F
We
think
that
that
is
not
the
city's
intents.
The
city
council
went
through
a
great
deal
of
work
around
tobacco
products
shops
five
six
years
ago
and
restricted
them
fairly
significantly
created
a
spacing
standard,
so
we
have
compared
to
the
draft
that
was
released
in
January
removed
that
use
from
being
allowed
in
the
corridor
mixed
use.
The
result
would
be
a
significantly
reduced
area
compared
to
the
the
version
that
went
out
in
January.
F
We've
certainly
heard
public
feedback
about
both
those
both
of
these
uses,
some
from
the
public
who
are
concerned
about
these
issues
and
some
from
people
who
are
interested
in
opening
establishments
that
sell
these
products.
So
you
may
hear
comments
on
both
sides
of
those
issues
this
evening
in
terms
of
off
sale,
liquor
again,
a
use,
that's
highly
regulated
by
our
licensing
team
and
Licensing
ordinance.
F
The
drafts
remains,
as
it
was
in
the
January
draft,
and
this
use
would
be
allowed
in
a
much
wider
scale
basis
compared
to
compared
to
today's
regulations
that
would
include
opening
up
a
fairly
small
neighborhood
commercial
nodes
to
offsell
liquor
stores,
where
they
have
not
historically
been
allowed,
because
they
would
meet
the
minimum
acreage
requirements
with
a
district
that
allows
the
use
compared
to
today.
F
A
Thank
you
Jason
and
Janelle,
and
Joe
and
Andrew
I
I,
just
want
to
say,
I
think
from
really
appreciate
your
willingness
to
discuss
this
item
being
available
for
us
and
the
public
during
this
process.
It's
a
dynamic
situation,
that's
good
to
ideate,
learn
change,
modify!
So
thank
you
for
your
insights
and
and
strategy
around
this
I
think
these
are
some
welcomed
modifications.
So
does
commission
have
any
questions
for
staff.
K
F
Good
question,
commissioner:
marwa:
that
item
is
on
our
work
plan
for
future
work,
and
it
will
of
course,
partly
be
dependent
upon
what
comes
out
of
the
state.
Perhaps
this
legislative
session,
it's
not
our
intent
to
to
Simply,
say
a
cannabis
shop
is,
is
equivalent
to
a
tobacco
product
shop.
It's
our
intent
to
work
with
our
business
licensing
and
other
department
colleagues
to
come
up
with
standards
that
specifically
address
that
use
once
it's.
If
and
when
it's
legalized.
K
And
I
had
one
more
quick
question
about
the
general
retail
sales
and
services
accept
is
noted
below
that
are
in
the
different
zoning
districts.
Can
you
just
kind
of
talk
through
those
uses
or
sorry
those
those
categories
that
are
kind
of
called
out
in
that?
Well
am
I
reading
it
wrong
that
those
are
allowed
or
they
like,
where
you
have
animal
boarding,
dry
cleaning,
funeral
homes,
grocery
stores
are
those
allowed
in
those
districts
or
are
those
not
allowed
because
they
accept,
as
is
throwing
me
off.
F
Sure,
commissioner,
the
the
way
the
table
is
structured
is
that
where
you
see
that
line,
except
as
allowed
below
that's
the
line
that
speaks
to
the
use
category
that
those
uses
below
that
are
within
and
the
only
reasons
I
think
that
specific
uses
appear
on
the
use
table
below
that
are
that
they
have
some
other
specific
use
standard.
That's
that
is
applicable
to
that
individual
use,
rather
than
the
use
category
as
in
its
entirety,
or
this,
the
the
specific
use
is
allowed
in
different
districts
than
than
the
other
uses
in
that
use
category.
L
F
N
Thank
you
first
also
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
all
the
work.
That's
gone
into
this
two
questions.
N
You
brought
up
The
Pedestrian
overlay
districts
and
that
raised
a
concern
for
me
I,
because
I'm
wondering
if
you
had
contemplated
the
effects
that
might
have
on
other
governments
like
the
county
and
the
state,
because
I
remember,
a
neighborhood
association
meeting
I
was
at
where
they
explained
that
the
justification
for
the
traffic
timing
in
Dinkytown
was
based
on
the
fact
that
it
was
in
a
pedestrian
overlay
District.
N
So
they
give
pedestrians
a
lead
when
the
light
changes
like
it
changes
for
pedestrians
first
and
then
for
cars
a
few
seconds
later,
and
they
said
that
was
because
it
was
a
pedestrian
overlay
District.
Do
you
think
that
removing
pedestrian
related
districts
might
have
an
unintended
consequence
on
how
other
governments
treat
their
areas.
F
We
are
happy
to
work
with
our
colleagues
in
public
works
and
and
any
other
agency
that
might
be
might
have
used
the
pedestrian-oriented
overlay
District
in
that
way,
as
I
think,
Mr
Bernard
noted
that
the
standards
from
that
overlay
District
are
largely
being
incorporated
into
other
parts
of
the
code,
so
we
don't
think
anything's
really
being
lost
in
terms
of
the
our
our
commitment
to
pedestrian
orientation
of
development,
for
example,
but
that
that
is
a
good
point
that
we
ought
to
proactively
reach
out
to
any
organization
that
perhaps
was
utilizing
it
in.
N
H
I
can
summarize
oh
yeah,
so
we
basically
moved
all
of
our
lot
size
requirements
into
the
built
form
overlay
District
chapter.
So
it's
all
in
one
table
now
for
the
most
part
and
what
the
changes
were.
A
lot
of
them
were
where
we
had
old
primary
zoning
districts
that
were
going
away.
We
needed
to
update
those
for
the
new
primary
zoning
districts,
so
that
meant
oftentimes.
H
There
were
updates
to
institutional
and
Civic
use
and
on
lawyer
requirements,
for
example,
and
a
lot
of
times
uses
still
just
don't
have
minimal
lawyer
requirements.
But
now
there's
one
table
to
refer
to
so
yeah
to
call
out
all
the
specific
changes
would
be
very
difficult
so
because
they
were,
you
know,
we're
moving
from
23
different
primary
zoning
districts
to
15..
H
A
Now
I'm
going
to
open
the
public
hearing,
I
do
have
a
list
of
folks
signed
up.
I've
got
19
folks
here,
I!
Imagine
there
may
be
a
few
that
signed
up
after
this,
but
we'll
take
these
in
order.
Excuse
me:
okay,
great,
thank
you
yeah,
so
we'll,
if
that's
okay,
rather
than
just
having
people
come
up,
we'll
just
take
them
in
order,
if
you
guys
are
all
right
with
that
and
so
I'm
going
to
first
call
on
Evan
Roberts
Evan
here.
O
Hello,
my
name
is
Evan
Roberts
I
live
on
Arthur,
Avenue
Southeast.
Thank
you
to
Commissioners
and
stuff.
They
work
on
this
important
topic.
My
testimony
is
going
to
introduce
themes
for
important
improvements
that
other
other
testifiers
are
going
to.
A
Become
I'm,
sorry
Evan,
oh
I'm,
sorry,
I'll
call
for
everybody
before
we
get
going.
If
you
come
to
the
pony,
please
see
you
and
your
address.
Sorry.
O
49
Arthur
Avenue
should
I
just
restart
yeah.
A
Sorry
again,
we'll
give
you
two
seconds.
O
So
thank
you
to
Commissioners
and
stuff
for
their
work
on
this.
My
testimony
here
is
going
to
introduce
themes
for
improvement
that
other
neighbors
for
more
neighbors
testifiers
will
expand
on.
This
is
a
once
in
a
generation
opportunity
to
update
our
approach
to
zoning,
to
address
today's
economic
and
social
issues
by
allowing
small-scale
commercial
uses
throughout
the
city,
including
in
new
Industries.
Many
forties
set
important
goals
of
creating
complete
neighborhoods
and
economic
opportunities,
eliminating
disparities
and
working
towards
climate
change
resilience.
O
Current
draft
Works
within
land
use
rose
begun
in
1924
and
modernized
in
the
late
20th
century.
The
city's
first
Zone
encode
in
1924
did
two
important
things
that
linger
in
today's
code
and
shape
how
our
city
has
been
formed,
banned,
fourplexes
and
larger
apartments
and
much
of
the
city
and
it
banned
commercial
uses
in
residential
areas.
To
a
large
extent,
subsequent
comp
plans
have
tried
to
rationalize
planning
where
the
harms
of
stores
offices
and
apartments
are
confined
to.
O
In
this
century-old
framework,
largely
put
stores
and
offices
on
major
roads
near
Old,
streetcar
stops
and
closer
to
Maori
family
than
single-family
dwellings,
but
I
think
it's
important
that
we
ask
questions.
How
do
we
create
Economic
Opportunity?
If
we
see
work
in
Commerce
as
harms,
that
must
be
separated
from
where
we
live?
Why
do
we
let
fears
of
traffic
and
parking
ban
the
creation
of
networkable
neighborhood
businesses
in
much
of
the
city
working
within
the
century-old
framework?
The
current
draft
is
at
odds
with
stated
goals
in
today's
social
realities.
O
It
seems
to
increase
commercial
opportunities
more
on
the
South
Side
than
the
North
side,
in
seeming
contradiction
to
equity
goals,
puts
religious
and
non-profit
uses
in
a
different
category
than
coffee
shops,
yoga,
studios
or
health
clinics,
though
these
serve
similar
social
roles
with
similar
Neighborhood
Impact.
It
allows
new
commercial
space
in
new
buildings,
but
it
is
less
provisioned
for
Creative
conversion
of
old
buildings
within
mixed-use,
Districts,
The,
Social
and
economic
challenges
of
our
cities.
Today,
post
covert
will
not
be
addressed
by
continuing
to
bend
these
century-old
restrictions
separating
commercial
and
residential
into
modern
form.
O
A
P
Hello,
my
name
is
Zach
Washington
I'm,
a
volunteer
for
Neighbors
foreign
neighbors,
as
well
as
a
resident
in
Northeast
Minneapolis
at
1622,
Polk
Street
Northeast
first
I'd
like
to
thank
City
staff
for
their
hard
work.
Putting
together
the
draft
in
front
of
us
City
staff
has
listened
to
several
of
our
suggestions
throughout
the
process.
They've
successfully
drafted
a
zoning
code,
Which
is
less
restrictive
and
more
accessible
than
its
predecessor
and
I.
Believe
the
draft
in
front
of
you
would
be
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
P
I,
don't
think
a
step
in
the
right
direction
is
enough.
Today,
our
zoning
code
has
not
been
holistically
revised
since
1999,
making
this
a
once
in
a
generation
opportunity
to
make
big
strides
towards
the
city's
stated
goals.
Today,
I'm
asking
you
to
consider
making
a
bold
step
toward
the
2040
comprehensive
plan's
goal
of
complete
neighborhoods,
complete
neighborhoods
to
me
are
neighborhoods,
in
which
you
can
easily
walk
bike
or
take
transit
to
get
to
everything
needed
in
day-to-day
life.
P
Currently,
the
draft
zoning
code
in
front
of
us
would
not
allow
even
the
simplest
low
intensity
commercial
uses
in
our
Urban
neighborhoods
I
support
an
amendment
to
conditionally
allow
commercial
uses
up
to
1500
square
feet
in
all
Urban
neighborhood
districts.
This
means
that
all
commercial
projects
in
urban
neighborhoods
would
have
to
go
to
the
Planning
Commission
for
approval.
Without
this
amendment,
these
parcels
and
projects
would
require
a
rezone
or
simply
never
happen.
The
intent
of
this
amendment
would
allow
small-scale
commercial
uses
on
the
ground
floor
of
residential
buildings.
P
This
would
allow
things
like
small
coffee,
shops,
cafes,
restaurants
and
offices
to
exist
within
our
neighborhoods
I,
fully
support
an
amendment
allowing
Light
commercial
uses
in
our
Urban
neighborhoods
I
hope
that
the
Planning
Commission
get
behind,
creating
complete
Urban
neighborhoods
everywhere
in
the
city
and
not
just
along
the
noisiest
highest
traffic
corridors
of
our
city.
In
addition
to
allowing
commercial
uses
in
our
neighborhoods
I
support,
relaxing
setback,
restrictions
for
the
urban
neighborhood
and
residential
mixed-use
districts,
setbacks
should
be
part
of
the
built
form
districts
and
not
the
primary
use.
P
A
Q
Hello,
I'm
Andrea,
address
30
th
Avenue
I'm
here
today
to
ask
you
to
allow
limited,
like
commercial
uses
in
urban
neighborhoods
goods
and
services
like
coffee
shops,
yoga
studios,
in-home
haircut
places
and
many
other
services
create
opportunity
for
Economic
Development
Across
the
city,
but
also
serve
as
de
facto
Community
spaces
in
2023.
You
know
not.
Everybody
seeks
community
in
churches
or
community
centers
the
way
that
they
were
when
this
zoning
code
was
previously
envisioned.
Q
It's
also
important
to
me
personally
that
I'm
able
to
walk
roll
ride
a
bike
to
most
things,
I
need
or
want
to
do,
I've
personally
committed
to
reducing
my
vehicle
miles,
traveled.
Just
like
the
sort
of
city,
transportation,
action
plan
and
climate
action
plans
have
and
I
look
forward
to
a
zoning
policy
and
city
services
that
are
available
so
that
that
is
easier
for
everyone
to
do,
and
that
is
it
for
me.
Super
fast,
oh
I
yield
my
time.
A
R
Hello,
my
name
is
Brett
unboxed
I
live
in
Ward
8
at
4633,
Clinton
Avenue
I
volunteer
with
neighbors
for
more
neighbors
and
I'm
here,
to
ask
you
to
amend,
to
make
Maurices
in
more
places
and
also
to
make
the
setbacks
which
are
based
on
land
use,
make
more
sense,
I'm
sure
you've
already
heard
some
about
the
need
for
more
commercial
uses,
so
I'd
like
to
focus
on
the
setbacks
issue.
R
Currently,
setbacks
are
based
on
the
height
of
the
building,
but
only
if
it's
in
residential,
mixed
use
or
Urban
neighborhoods
in
commercial
mixed
use,
you're
allowed
to
have
no
setbacks
and
based
on
those
height
restrictions
in
the
built
form
which
are
based
on
the
primary
zoning
District
most
people
would
assume
the
quarter.
Six
lot
can
be
six
stories
tall.
R
However,
the
setbacks
would
require
a
six-story
residential
mixed
use
or
Uber
neighborhood
Corridor,
six
building
to
have
a
total
of
30
feet
of
side
yards
and
a
10-story
Transit
10
building
to
have
40
feet
of
side
yards
because
the
setbacks
in
urban
neighborhood
are
hype-based
where
they
are
not
in
commercial.
Mixed
use.
Setbacks,
coupled
with
the
typical
45
foot
wide
lot,
would
result
in
a
building
that
is
15
feet
wide.
If
built
to
the
maximum
height
of
six
stories.
The
current
setbacks
essentially
prohibits
single
lot
buildings
larger
than
three
stories.
R
By
making
taller
buildings
lose
buildable
space
to
the
setbacks.
There
are
some
Transit
30,
Urban
neighborhoods
Lots,
where
the
minimum
height
of
10
stories
requires
40
feet
of
side
yards
and
no
commercial
uses
are
allowed
and
it
can
barely
meet
the
minimum.
Far
of
3.0,
we
are
asking
for
all
Lots
in
urban
neighborhood
and
residential
mixed
use.
Districts
that
have
the
same
setbacks
that
story
story.
Buildings
do
in
those
districts,
regardless
of
height,
we
need
to
legalize
more
homes
in
more
place
and
more
businesses.
R
S
Good
evening
Commissioners,
my
name
is
Joshua
hodak
I
live
at
4944,
30th
Avenue
South
in
ward
12.,
yes,
I
care
about
zoning
I'm
going
to
get
into
the
Weeds
on
setbacks
as
well,
but
I
recently
visited
the
beautiful
city
of
Chicago
and
walking
the
streets
and
riding
the
L,
reminding
me
of
the
importance
of
not
overdoing
setbacks.
S
I
love,
the
town
homes,
the
row,
houses,
the
neighbors
hanging
out
on
front
steps
and
the
small
quaint
front
yards
that
you
see
a
lot
of
in
in
many
cities
like
Chicago
and
I
would
like
to
see
that
more
here
hype
base
set
backs
effectively
effectively.
Excuse
me
prevent
full
usage
of
the
otherwise
allowed
space
on
a
property.
S
Larger
setbacks
for
taller
built,
build
buildings,
reduce
buildable
space
and
make
new
homes
more
expensive
front.
Setbacks
of
15
feet,
sides
and
rear
of
five
feet
and
Corner
side
of
eight
feet
is,
in
my
opinion,
sufficient
for
livability
across
our
city.
These
setbacks
are
what
is
required
for
single-family
homes
in
commercial,
mixed
use
in
table
540-21.
S
And
all
are
that
is,
is
required
for
three
buildings:
a
three-story
building,
sorry
in
residential
mixed
use
and
urban
neighborhoods
I
encourage
you
to
apply
these
setbacks
universally,
regardless
of
Building
height
for
all,
Urban,
neighborhoods
and
residential
mixed
use,
and
one
to
three
unit
buildings.
S
A
Thank
you,
Joshua
next
up,
Ian
beak.
D
T
My
name
is
Ian
Buck
I
live
at
2111,
21st
Avenue
South
I
am
a
brand
new
resident
of
Minneapolis
I
just
moved
in
at
the
beginning
of
April,
and
I
would
like
to
share
with
you
a
little
bit
about
my
you
know,
Journey
finding
a
place
to
live
here
as
I
was
looking.
You
know,
I
knew
that
the
like
Seward
Longfellow,
Powder,
Horn
Phillips
area,
was
going
to
be
kind
of
my
ideal
and
as
I
you
know,
explored
and
biked
around
throughout
the
neighborhoods.
T
I
realized
that
you
know
living
car
free
and
wanting
to
live
within
a
walkable
distance
of
enough
enough
commercial
uses
enough
businesses
to
be
able
to
you
know
meet
my
daily
needs.
T
I
realized
that
really
like
the
only
places
that
I
could
be
looking
for
a
home
were
along
Franklin
Avenue
and
along
Lake
Street,
and
the
the
rest
of
the
neighborhoods
were
just
kind
of
closed
off
to
me,
like
they
weren't
really
viable
for
for
the
lifestyle
that
I
want
to
live,
and
so
I
definitely
like.
The
the
main
concern
of
mine
for
today
is
allowing
small
scale
commercial
uses
in
urban
neighborhood
zoning
districts.
T
I
understand
that
the
staff
was,
you
know,
working
within
existing
policy
that
says
that
you
know
we're
not
encouraging
commercial
uses,
but
I
think
that
if
we
allowed
them
conditionally
that
that
still
fits
within,
you
know
the
intention
of
that
of
that
policy.
Language,
so
I
definitely
encourage
you
to
support
allowing
commercial
uses
in
urban
neighborhoods.
A
Thank
you
Ian
welcome
by
the
way,
good
luck.
U
I'm
Elizabeth,
Brackett
and
I
live
at
1221
Russell
Avenue
North
I'm
in
the
Fifth
Ward
and
I've
lived
in
that
house
for
about
46
years
and
I
memorized
it
and
now
I
turned
off
my
cell
phone.
So
now
it's
not
on
the
my
little
text,
but
basically
I.
You
know
I'm
not
as
nerdy
as
some
of
these
guys
over
here
and
but
there's
no
coffee
shop
within
walkable
distance
of
my
house.
I
can
I'm
on
close
to
the
Sea
line,
but
there's
no
coffee
shop
there
anyway.
U
I
do
think
that
we
need
more
allowance
of
some
of
these
commercial
uses.
Coffee
shop,
daycare,
yoga
studio
yarn
store
some
of
these
things
right
in
the
urban
neighborhood.
Sometimes,
as
you
drive
around,
you
can
see
a
building,
and
you
know
that
it
was
a
store
in
the
20s,
because
it's
got
that
diagonal
entrance
and
it's
coming
right
out
to
the
sidewalk
I.
Don't
know
why
we
can't
let
those
go
back
to
commercial.
So
that's
my
main
message
and
yeah
North
Minneapolis.
U
Some
I
can't
couldn't
see
those
Maps
completely,
but
it's
not
just
a
food
desert.
It's
also
a
desert.
For
these
other
things
and
to
on
those
some
of
those
corridors,
I
don't
know
which
regulation
it
was
but
saying
a
new
store.
A
new
building
had
to
have
retail
on
the
bottom,
and
it
had
to
have
some
apartments
above,
whereas
somebody
there's
a
lot
of
single-family
houses
right
on
those
Carters.
If
I
wanted
to
it,
live
there
and
switch
it
into
a
little
Boutique
right
now,
it
sounds
like
I.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
Elizabeth
all
right.
Next
up,

V
Hi
Commissioners,
my

Chris

I

Buchanan
Street
Northeast
I
want
to
start
by
saying
that
I
generally
really
I'm
excited
about
the
implementation
of
these
zoning
rules.
They're
going
to
enable
our
city
to
greatly
add
density
over
the
coming
years
and
continue
to
hold
down
housing
costs,
but
no
one
expects
housing
density
to
immediately
rise
or
for
every
parcel
to
be
redeveloped
to
the
densities
Allowed
by
the
comprehensive
plan.
V
V
But
we
can't
say
the
same
about
commercial
uses:
I
appreciate
staff
for
making
changes
to
the
original
draft
to
increase
food
access
and
increase
access
to
services
on
the
margins,
but
we
should
do
more
if
we
look
at
the
Draft
rules,
you'll
see
that
many
major
quarters
are
zoned,
Urban,
neighborhood
or
residential
mixed
use.
Some
examples
are
Penn
Avenue
North,
North
of
Plymouth
Chicago,
Avenue
South,
2nd
Street
Northeast.
V
These
are
major
corridors
that
could
access,
Transit
and
I'd
like
to
see
more
commercial
allowed
in
these
areas,
especially
Standalone
uses
right
now,
I
think
as
as
Becca
just
mentioned
in
a
lot
of
neighborhoods,
only
commercially
is
only
allowed
as
part
of
a
mixed
use.
Development
like
a
multi-story
large
building.
V
So
if
we're
going
to
add
density
in
housing,
we
should
also
allow
for
a
little
bit
more
commercial
here
and
there
in
our
neighborhoods.
So
I'd
like
to
see
a
few
changes.
Some
examples
allow
certain
types
of
desirable
stand-alone
uses
like
grocery
stores.
Even
a
neighborhood
Urban
neighborhood
at
least
consist
conditionally
maximum
size
of
grocery
stores,
and
mixed
use
is
too
small
and
allow
smallone
uses
like
cafes
and
salons
throughout
these
districts.
V
A
Very
good,
thank
you
very
much,
Chris
all
right.
Next
up
number
nine
is
Roxanne
O'brien.
X
W
A
W
You
something
maybe
I
should
change
about
policy,
but
no
harm
I
want
to
come
in,
first
of
all
the
city
for
making
these
long
overdue
historic
decisions
here
today.
This
is
no
small
thing,
so
acknowledging
the
progress
to
get
to
this
point.
W
So
we
ask
that
you
make
an
intentional
effort
and
give
staff
direction
to
take
action
towards
giving
more
time
to
a
process
as
important
and
as
as
Grand
as
this
one.
There
hasn't
been
a
zoning
change
like
this
in
20
years,
so
we
would
ask
that
moving
forward
green
zones,
committees
can
I
get
another
30
seconds.
W
So
we
would
ask
that
moving
forward.
Green
zone
committees
are
specifically
notified
about
processes
and
hearings
in
a
reasonable
time
ahead
of
time
to
be
able
to
make
recommendations
and
contribute.
We
also
ask
that
notices
of
hearings
go
out
to
community
and
the
geographical
vicinity,
our
communities
that
are
most
impacted
by
multiple
pollution
sources,
don't
have
the
capacity
or
the
resources
to
participate
as
we'd
like
to.
But
we
are
the
experts
of
these
issues
because
of
our
lived
experiences
and
as
you
can
see,
we
are
often
a
reaction
to
government
actions
and
inaction.
W
A
All
right
next
up
is
Cellini
Gupta.
Y
Hello,
my
name
is
actually
Gupta
yeah,
so
I
live
in
the
south
side
of
Minneapolis
on
27th
and
47th
and
I'm.
A
policy
advisor
with
committee
members
for
environmental
justice,
CME
J,
A
community-based
organization
based
in
North
Minneapolis
I've,
been
working
on
environmental
justice,
also
called
EJ
policy
for
over
20
years,
and
advised
City
departments
and
Community
organizations
in
Providence,
Rhode,
Island,
Boston,
Massachusetts,
Chicago
Illinois,
and
for
many
years
the
City
of
Minneapolis.
Y
It's
clear
that
the
legacy
of
zoning
regulations
in
Minneapolis
has
had
a
significant
impact
on
the
pollution,
industrial
landscape
of
North
and
South
Minneapolis.
That
residents
live
with
today,
while
zoning
may
have
been
established
100
years
ago
to
protect
Public
Health
by
separating
unwanted
uses,
I.E
homes
from
problematic
industry.
The
sad
reality
of
systemic
racism
has
meant
that
as
air
quality
and
health
was
protected
for
some
residents
of
Minneapolis,
these
unwanted
highly
polluting
uses,
industry
highways
truck
traffic
were
strategically
and
intentionally
concentrated
in
low-income
communities
of
color.
Y
Y
These
are
our
bare
minimum.
If
the
cities
to
live
up
to
a
city
at
EJ
in
public
health
goals
in
the
2040
comp
plan,
the
city
must
start
attracting
green
manufacturing.
It's
not
this
false
thing
about
Jobs
versus
manufacturing
jobs
in
Resident
Health
can
be
in
alignment
with
one
another
and
should
be
the
vision
for
sustainable
future
of
Minneapolis.
Let's
stop
creating
sacrifice
zones.
Thank
you.
A
All
right
next
up
is
Melissa
Lawrence.
Z
Yet
the
proposal
allows
these
moderate
impact
production
uses
across
the
board.
In
these
production
zones
there
are
no
limitations
or
no
conditions.
There
are
no
permit
requirements
from
the
city
and
an
earlier
draft
of
the
code
required
an
environmental
justice
risk
assessment
for
these
uses,
so
we're
asking
that
the
Planning
Commission
put
that
back
in
require
a
conditional
use
permit
for
these
production.
These
moderate
impact
production
uses
because
that's
a
way
that
the
city
can
create
transparency
for
environmental
justice
communities.
We
understand
the
city
has
some
preemption
concerns.
Z
L
Good
evening
Planning
Commission,
my
name
is
Evan
Mulholland
I'm,
also
a
staff
attorney
with
Minnesota
center,
with
environmental
advocacy
and
again
we
submitted
extensive
comments
that
are
in
the
record.
L
One
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
that
we've
been
working
with
over
the
past
couple
weeks
and
it's
been,
we've
had
a
lot
of
productive
conversations
and,
as
you
can
see
from
the
changes,
some
are
especially
that
quarter.
Mile
setback
for
the
remaining
high
impact
uses
are
very
important
and
we
encourage
you
to.
You
know,
leave
that
there.
What
I
want
to
talk
about
really
briefly,
is
the
non-conforming
uses.
L
So
under
law
state
law,
the
city
can
limit
the
non-conforming
uses
the
existing
non-conforming
uses,
which
are
uses
that
if
they
were
to
come
into
to,
you
know,
try
to
be
cited
now
or
you
know,
when
the
new
zoning
code
is
passed,
they
wouldn't
be
allowed.
So
these
are
things
the
city's
saying
No
this
can't
be
in
the
zoning
area
and
they
can't
be
in
anywhere
in
the
city.
So
you
know,
there's
like
800
pages
of
comments
over
there,
a
large
number
of
those
support.
L
This
idea
that
we
don't
want
any
expansion,
any
intensification
of
these
existing
non-conforming
uses.
These
are
things
like
the
GIF
shingle
Factory
down
on
the
river
like.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
that
factory
cannot
expand
its
pollution,
expand
its
footprint
and
there's
got
to
be
a
way
to
do
this
in
the
code,
so
we're
asking
for
an
amendment
to
the
code
so
that
yeah,
we
know
that
you
have
to
be
able
to
allow
the
facilities
to
repair
itself.
L
A
All
right
next
up
is
Kyle
Shelton.
AA
and
I'm
here
today
to
ask
that
we
use
this
process
to
continue
to
build
complete
communities
and
allow
more
uses
in
more
places,
our
family
of
fours,
a
one-car
household,
and
we
have
two
kiddos
and
bike
and
walk
and
take
transit
as
much
as
we
can.
And
if
any
of
you
have
tried
to
do
that
and
go
to
a
destination
more
than
a
half
mile
away
from
your
house.
It
takes
a
long
time
and
that
is
coming
from
a
family
with
a
lot
of
resources
and
a
lot
of
time.
AA
Ten
thousand
square
feet
is
particularly
small
grocery
store
when
many
of
the
larger
ones
that
most
of
us
probably
visit
are
in
the
50
000
square
feet
and
Beyond.
So
allowing
twenty
thousand
square
foot
stores
would
really
open
that
up
and
again,
I
think.
The
priority
here
is
creating
communities
that
give
all
of
us
access
to
services
and
goods,
enabling
us
to
walk
and
bike
and
take
transit
and
and
still
use
our
cars
when
we
need
to
and
I
also
wanted
to,
encourage
and
Echo.
AA
We
don't
know
what
the
next
20
to
30
years
will
entail
and
having
more
flexibility,
more
conditional
uses
and
fewer
prohibitions,
I
think
will
serve
us
well
and
finally,
I
just
wanted
to
second
that
earlier
testifier
and
encouraging
City
staff,
and
you
all
to
continue
to
find
more
time
to
allow
communities
from
across
our
community
across
our
city
to
really
grapple
with
complicated
measures
like
this
I
appreciate
her
bring
that
up.
Thank
you.
A
Very
good,
thank
you.
Kyle!
All
right
next
up
is
Alex
schiefer
Decker.
Let
me
get
that
right.
All
right.
AB
AB
First,
since
the
passage
of
the
2040
plan,
there
has
been
a
massive
shift
in
the
geography
of
work,
because
so
many
people
now
work
partially
from
home
I
would
argue
that
every
residential
district
should
now
be
considered
at
least
partly
an
office
District
as
well
officers
Thrive
with
commercial
businesses
nearby.
Our
code
should
permit
the
gentle
expansion
of
commercial
uses
into
zones
that
can
no
longer
be
called
residential.
Only
second,
since
the
passage
of
the
2040
plan,
the
salience
of
the
issues
of
spatial
inequality
has
increased.
AB
The
un3
classification
was
applied
to
portions
of
major
corridors
where
there
is
not
commercial
activities
today,
but
why
does
commercial
activity
exist
on
some
major
corridors
and
not
on
others?
For
some,
the
answer
is
because
they
were
subject
to
mid-century
Urban
flight
and
disinvestment,
and
our
code
should
not
lock
in
place
existing
commercial
patterns
that
are
a
legacy
of
systemic
Injustice.
AB
Now
recently,
this
commission
approved
product
2323
North
Emerson
Avenue,
that
would
restore
commercial
use
to
a
defunct
commercial
property.
The
2040
plan
designated
that
site,
as
un3
commercial
use
would
not
have
been
allowed
had
it
been
proposed
after
this
meeting
now.
The
map
you're
looking
at
today
has
been
amended
to
legalize
that
specific
lot,
but
it
would
still
make
illegal
similar
projects
on
similar
Lots
today.
For
these
two
reasons,
I
urge
that
the
commission
amend
the
proposed
code
so
that
all
uses
allowed
in
the
rm1
district
be
allowed
in
the
U.N
3
District
as
well.
AB
AC
Was
it
no?
It's
a
business
I
own,
a
lot
of
commercial
property
and
businesses
in
North
Minneapolis
and
we've
been
in
the
neighborhood
for
30
years.
So
we
try
rezone
our
business
for
exclusive
tobacco
shop
in
2018,
but
we
have
a
hard
time
to
sign
homeowners
around
us
because
everybody
live
in
California
or
somebody
on
or
companies
on
those
houses.
So
I
know
we
try
to
do
it
in
2000
2001
and
we
did
all
the
paperwork,
and
this
is
our
location
here
we
got
approval.
AC
Actually,
if
you
reason
our
property
but
pandemic
happened,
and
they
told
us
we
can
reply
again
2023,
but
right
now
they
did
change
the
zonic
code
from
C2
to
C3.
So
we
have
to
go
through
all
the
process
again
and
I
wish
the
zoning
department
consider
our
application
again.
Thank
you.
AD
AD
I
get
more
than
27
seconds,
okay.
Well,
I'll
start
now,
then
my
name
is
Ray.
Peterson
I
live
at
2111,
13th,
Avenue,
South
and
I'm.
Here,
representing
the
position
of
Ventura
Village
neighborhood
staff
was
kind
enough
to
pass
out
some
materials
we
had
prepared.
The
top
letter
is
the
written
comments
we
submitted
in
time,
and
what
was
added
to
that
is
the
reason
why
we're
asking
for
these
changes.
AD
They
none
of
the
changes
were
addressed
in
the
staff
comments
tonight,
except
for
maybe
the
tobacco
products
shop
category
which
really
didn't
address
our
concerns
in
terms
of
wanting
that
to
be
a
conditional
use
instead
of
a
permitted
use,
I'm,
not
I,
don't
have
time
to
go
through
every
one
of
these
things,
but
I'd
appreciate
it.
If
you
did
read
it
quickly,
but
after
the
deadline
for
the
written
comments
passed,
we
added
some
additional
comments
and
I
I'll
just
highlight
those
those
are
on
the
second
letter
in
this
packet.
AD
The
first
one
is
that
the
24
day
plan
says
that
there
should
be
concern
for
probation
retention
of
family
housing.
Yet
when
this
study
talks
about
what
does
the
Minneapolis
2040
plan
address,
that
doesn't
talk
about
family
housing
whatsoever
and
that's
basically
larger
size
units,
three
four
bedroom
units,
the
plan
really
doesn't
talk
about
historical
preservation
at
all
either,
and
we
think
there
should
be
some
attention
given
to
historical
nature
of
some
some
neighborhoods
and
how
land
use
affects
that.
AD
This
third
thing
is
that
in
in
going
through
this,
we
didn't
couldn't
figure
out
the
distinction
between
cm2
and
cm3,
real
well
and
we'd,
like
more
clarification
on
that,
and
they
seem
to
basically
include
almost
all
the
same
permitted
uses,
except
as
we
state
in
our
lettered
cm2
has
some
very
few
additional
uses
which
don't
exist
in
our
neighborhood
right
now,
and
we
don't
want
so
that's
part
of
why
we're
requesting
a
change
in
in
that
and
then.
AD
There
are
very
few
vacant
lots
available
left
for
redevelopment,
and
the
zoning
study
doesn't
even
recognize
this
as
one
of
the
small
area
studies
and
didn't
evaluate
how
it
related
to
the
recommendations
so
we'd
like
the
staff
to
look
at
this.
Unfortunately,
we've
not
had
the
ability
to
meet
with
staff
because
they
don't
have
the
time
to
come
out
and
meet
with
neighbor
groups.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
Ray
all
right.
Next
up
is
Victoria.
B
Can
I
interrupt
for
just
one
moment:
I
just
spoke
with
the
communications
team,
we're
obviously
having
some
microphone
issues
if
it's
okay
with
the
body
I'm,
going
to
request
the
testifiers
step
to
their
right,
just
a
tiny
bit
and
use
the
other
microphone
we're
going
to
turn
off
the
main
one,
and
we
ask
that
please
don't
adjust
it,
no
matter
your
height.
B
AE
Hi,
my
name
is
Victoria
lowing
I'm
here
with
my
colleague,
Heather
Doyle,
we're
from
the
Chicago
Avenue
fire
Arts
Center,
which
is
at
3749
Chicago
Avenue,
that's
38th
in
Chicago,
in
the
ninth
ward,
we're
a
non-profit,
Arts
organization
that
opened
there
in
2010
and
we're
a
unique
resource
in
our
local
Arts
ecosystem,
with
the
focus
on
art
forms
produced
by
heat,
spark
and
Flame.
This
includes
various
forms
of
metal
working.
The
main
areas
of
our
work
are
Arts
education
and
supporting
the
creation
of
public
art.
AE
We're
here
to
share
with
you
our
thoughts
about
the
impact
of
the
language
being
considered
in
chapter
545
about
production
use
standards.
We
believe
some
of
it
needs
amendment
to
make
sure
that
work
like
ours
can
continue
in
our
city.
One
of
the
art
forms
we
support
is
metal
casting,
which
is
the
process
of
melting
metal
into
a
molten
State
and
pouring
it
into
molds
is
also
referred
to
as
Foundry,
which
is
a
word
that
brings
to
mind
with
good
reason,
a
highly
polluting
industrial
activity
at
the
fire.
Arts
Center,
it's
a
very
different
picture.
AE
We
teach
people
this
as
an
art
form
how
to
practice
it
safely
and
competently.
We're
a
resource
for
public
artists
locally,
who
need
pieces
cast.
Our
clients
have
included
the
City
of
Minneapolis
and
we
prioritize
projects
that
address
social
justice
and
that
increased
representation
in
public
art
collections.
We
also
use
this
activity
as
Community
engagement,
because
it's
fun
to
do
and
really
fun
to
watch
too
when
it
comes
to
Artistic
metal.
Casting
our
environmental
footprint
is
much
smaller
than
what
comes
to
mind
with
the
word
Foundry.
The
equipment
we
use
is
small.
AE
It's
portable,
we
use
specific
metal
alloys
and
we
do
this
activity
on
an
occasional
basis.
Unlike
an
industrial
Foundry
that
might
be
melting,
scrap
metal
all
day
long.
So
we've
had
some
good
conversations
with
City
staff
already
we're
grateful
for.
We
hope,
you'll
consider
some
amended
language
to
allow
art
foundry
activities
in
commercial
mixed
use.
Districts
we'd
be
supportive
of
a
limitation
of
a
much
smaller
square
footage
than
is
allowed
in
a
production.
District
a
thousand
square
feet
is
more
than
enough
for
our
needs.

AF
Hi
I'm
Sarah
Rasmussen
I'm
at
5105,
York
I'm,
a
medical
student
at
the
U
and
I'd
like
to
make
some
comments
in
support
of
the
community
members
for
environmental
justices
demands
because
of
their
impact
on
the
health
of
my
future.
Patients
I
believe
you've
received
these
demands
in
advance,
so
I'll
be
referencing
them
specifically.
AF
We
know
that
pollution
in
Minneapolis
is
already
contributing
to
poor
health.
Air
pollution
contributed
to
about
10
percent
of
all
deaths
in
the
Twin
Cities
in
2015.
That's
according
to
the
Minnesota
Pollution
Control
agency,
a
recent
meta-analysis,
which
is
the
highest
quality
of
evidence
that
science
can
provide,
found
that
particulate
matter
is
linked
to
an
increased
incidence
and
incidence
of
and
death
due
to
heat
attacks
or
heart
attacks
and
stroke.
So
the
data
make
it
clear.
We
really
can't
increase
pollution
in
Minneapolis.
AF
The
harms
are
already
too
great
in
regards
to
the
second
demand
or
excuse
me,
the
third
demand
infants
and
kids
are
increased
risk
of
the
health
impacts
of
air
pollution
because
they
spend
more
time
outdoors
and
they
have
a
higher
respiratory
rate
than
adults,
which
means
that
more
pollution
gets
into
their
lungs
and
their
bodies.
This
increases
their
lifetime
risks
of
asthma,
COPD
cardiovascular
disease
and
heart
failure.
AF
Four
and
five
in
Minneapolis,
polluting
Industries
are
disproportionately
located
in
communities
of
color,
while
more
privileged
and
Wealthy
communities
benefit
from
industrial
pollution
and
avoid
all
the
exposures
in
medical
school
we're
taught
to
practice
patient-centered
care
where
we
listen
to
the
concerns
and
the
goals
of
our
patients
and
use
them
to
guide
our
decision,
making
that
we
make
hand
in
hand
with
our
patients
I
would
encourage
the
city
to
do
the
same
when
making
decisions
that
directly
impact
the
health
of
our
communities.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Sarah
all
right
up
next
is
Margaret
Kilpatrick.
AG
Okay,
hello,
my
name
is
Margaret
Kirkpatrick
and
I
live
at
Beckett
wood
senior
Cooperative,
which
is
at
4300
West,
River,
Parkway
and
I'm,
calling
I'm
talking
because
I'm
very
concerned
I
supported
the
2040
plan,
because
I
really
support
increased
housing
density
in
the
city
and
the
and
I'm
concerned
about
the
setbacks
that
are
going
to
kind
of
contradict.
What
we're.
What
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
by
if
you
can
have
a
six-story
building,
but
you
can't
build
it
because
a
septax
is
so
big
that
you
basically
can't
build
the
building.
AG
It
doesn't
make
any
sense
so
I
I
would
really
appreciate
there
conforming
the
setbacks
to
the
original
goal,
which
is
to
build
greater
housing,
especially
on
the
corridors
and
in
the
neighborhoods,
and
both
for
just
to
have
more
housing
and
also
to
promote
Transit,
because
on
our
Transit
corridors,
if
we
have
more
housing,
we
get
better
Transit.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
Margaret
and
last,
at
least
on
the
sign
up
sheet
is
Brian
Rosas.
AH
Good
evening
Commissioners,
my
name
is
Brian
Rosas
I
am
a
war
10
resident
and
I
am
here
to
also
testify
in
favor
of
the
community
members
for
environmental
justice,
as
demands
I'm
here
to
uplift.
Those
demands
because
they
could
have
benefited
me.
Definitely
as
a
kid
with
our
zoning,
I
grew
up
and
was
born
and
raised
in
South,
Minneapolis
and
I
saw
a
lot
of
the
times.
The
health
concerns
the
health
scares
that
were
just
talked
about
today
happening
to
my
school
members.
AH
My
family
members
and
I
think
that
it's
going
to
be
really
important
that
we
limit
and
not
allow
more
of
these
non-conforming
uses
to
continue.
I
also
am
new
to
zoning.
This
is
my
first
Planning
Commission
type
of
meeting
and
within
the
first
couple
of
days
of
learning.
What
zoning
is
I
know
that
it's
complex,
but
it
also
has
a
large
impact
on
my
life.
The
life
of
my
future
kids,
if
I
have
them
in
the
life
of
my
siblings,
that
are
younger
than
me,
and
so.
AH
I
heard
about
this
meeting
word
of
mouth
and
I
really
wish
I
would
have
heard
it
directly
from
the
city,
if
I'm
being
honest,
because
I
live
here,
I
was
born
here,
I
was
raised
here
and
sometimes
it
feels
like
we're
not
included
in
a
lot
of
the
decisions
that
we're
making
a
lot
of
the
discussions
that
are
being
had
in
a
lot
of
the
conversation
that
taking
place
so
again,
I'm
here
to
urge
you
guys
to
hear
and
I'm
here
to
uplift
the
demands
for
community
members
for
environmental
justice.
Thank
you
guys.
So
much.
A
A
All
right
we
got
through
everybody,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
all
for
some
really
thoughtful
comments
and
impactful
powerful
messaging
I've
been
a
resident
here
for
30
years,
and
it's
lovely
to
see
my
fellow
citizens
caring
so
much
about
what
goes
on
in
the
city.
So
thank
you
for
spending
the
time
today.
I
know
it's
not
easy
to
get
downtown
and
spending
the
afternoon
with
us,
so
I
should
probably
get
this
band
together
every
once
in
a
while.
It's
a
good
group!
Thank
you
all
right.
A
Once
we
close
this
public
hearing,
we
will
not
be
able
to
accept
any
more
comments.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we've
we
got
everybody.
That's
here
that
wants
to
speak.
A
It
looks
like
we
have,
so
thank
you.
Seeing
there's
no
one
else
to
speak.
I'd
like
to
close
the
public
hearing.
Is
there
any
discussion
or
questions
by
the
commission
related
to
this
item.
K
Thank
you,
commissioner,
Baxley,
and
thank
you
again,
staff
for
all
your
work
on
this
I
am
bringing
forward
an
amendment
that
is
just
to
clarify
some
of
the
Arts
uses
as
they
go
for
forage
and
Foundry
uses.
In
accordance
to
the
comments
that
we
heard
tonight.
I
don't
want
to
belabor
kind
of
the
point.
It
is
a
very,
very
Niche
art
form
and
that
would
kind
of
be
these
kind
of
production
uses
would
be
zoned
out
if
we
continued
with
this
path
without
this
necessary
Amendment.
K
So
every
member
should
have
this.
So
I
will
repeat
it.
The
the
text
that
you
see
so
I
would
be
proposing
to
a
men's
section.
K
545-230,
which
is
production,
use
standards
in
chapter
545,
use
regulations
to
change
the
following
art,
studio
and
art
studio
may
include
the
design
and
Fabrication
of
jewelry
ornamental
Ceramics
pottery
and
visual
arts
and
the
commercial
mixed
use,
downtown
production
districts,
and
then
my
change
would
be.
You
can
just
go
to
D.
So
I,
don't
read
all
of
the
standard
through
a
conditional
use
permit
in
production
districts,
so
this
would
kind
of
make
it
for
both
pr1
and
PR2.
K
K
C
A
Second,
all
right,
so
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
K
Right
for
the
second
amendment
that
would
have
to
take
place,
I'd
be
amending
section.
K
545.130
production
use
group
in
chapter
545
use
regulations
to
change
the
following,
and
this
would
be
again
for
metalworking
to
be
allowed
in
certain
areas.
This
is
very
low
impact
production
use.
It
would
be
that
language
Edition
would
be
processes
consistent
with
the
description
and
character
of
the
lower
impact,
production
and
processing
use
category
as
part
of
an
educational
Arts
Center
use
in
compliance
with
the
specific
use
standards
for
an
educational,
Arts,
Center
or
an
Institutional
and
Civic
use.
K
K
M
M
A
A
U
K
All
right
and
the
third
piece
of
this,
so
thank
you
again-
staff
and
the
Chicago
Avenue
fire
Arts
Center
for
working
so
closely
on
making
sure
that
all
of
this
language
is
clarified
in
our
code,
and
so
it
would
be
amending
section
545.220,
institutional
and
Civic
use
standards
in
chapter
545
use
regulations
to
change
the
following:
the
use
again
at
being
educational,
Arts,
Center
in
the
urban
neighborhood
and
residential
mixed
use.

This
you
shall
be
shall
be
located
in
a
non-residential
structure
existing
on
the
effective
date
of
this
ordinance
B.
K
It
would
also
be
in
the
commercial
mixed
use
in
downtown

This
use
may
include
production
processing
activities
consistent
with
the
characteristics
of

use
category
provided.

Shelby

through
a

permit
or

in

M
A
AI
Thank
you
very
much.
Vice
president
Baxley
I'm,
going
to
start
out
by
saying
that
my
kindergartner
brought
home
a
worksheet
last
week
about
needs
and
wants
so
water
need.
AI
AI
So
this
new
land
use
zoning
is
the
beginning
of
where
we
really
need
to
go
to
ensure
health
and
prosperity
for
all
of
our
residents.
We've
received
significant
thoughtful
comments
from
numerous
organizations
and
individuals
about
environmental
justice,
as
we
think
about
the
green
future
that
we
want.
AI
AI
So,
for
these
reasons,
I
would
like
to
propose
to
move
I
should
say
the
following:
Amendment,
which
is
not
in
your
packet
if
it
is
very
short,
so
I'm
going
to
read
it
out
loud
I'd
like
to
move
the
following
that
the
Planning
Commission
president
shall
write
a
letter
to
the
mayor,
requesting
that
the
mayor
issue,
a
staff
direction
to
cped
and
Health
Department
staff,
directing
staff
to
study
and
develop
potential
amendments
to
create
an
environmental
justice
checklist
for
use
in
the
evaluation
of
potential
future.
N
N
AI
AI
Yes
and
I'm
happy
to
respond
a
little
bit
to
that.
So
there
have
been
a
number
of
comments
and,
if
you'll
note
in
the
January
staff
excuse
me
zoning
code,
AS
staff
mentioned
there.
There
was
an
environmental
risk
assessment
in
there.
That
was
taken
out
for
a
number
of
different
reasons.
We've
received
a
lot
of
comments
on
this
I
think
this
is
a
way
forward.
That
can
be
a
way
to
continue
engaging
on
this
topic
that
we
can
work
with
Community,
I,
I,
hope.
AI
I
would
see
this
as
part
of
that
to
make
sure
that
we're
engaging
the
community's
most
affected
by
some
of
these
Legacy
polluting
Industries
to
continue
the
really
hard
and
challenging
work
on
this
I.
Think
by
the
mere
facts
that
I
believe
there
was
something
like
725
pages
of
public
comment,
not
all
of
them
related
to
this
particular
topic.
But
this
is
something
that
people
are
really
interested
in.
AI
We
have
a
full
house
tonight,
I
think
this
is
a
path
forward
where
we
can
see
collaboration
from
our
citizens
from
from
our
health
and
planning
departments
within
the
city.
So
that's
why
I
I've
scrapped
what
you
had
before
you
in
specific
language,
but
I
think
this
is
something
that
a
kind
of
a
a
wave
that
both
our
internal
staff
and
external
community
members.
We
could
move
move
forward
in
this
direction
to
come
together.
Hopefully
that
helps
commissioner
Ford.
AJ
Letter
once
we've
taken
care
of
the
zoning
code,
a
text
Amendment
I'm
happy
to
support
it
then,
but
right
now
we're
looking
at
the
text
before
us
and,
like
you,
I
think
it's
out
of
oil
right
now.
I
I
I'm
also
concerned
that
that
letter
presumes
that
we're
going
to
be
satisfied
with
not
resolving
the
issue
of
cons
of
non-conforming
uses
instead
asked
for
the
mayor
to
look
into
it
mayor
and
staff.
A
N
N
The
the
main
motion
is
passed,
but
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
at
the
state
level,
in
my
other
job,
we're
also
working
on
zoning
issues
so
and
we've
already
started
on
this
process,
we've
had
some
conversations
with
mcea
and
others
about
changing
some
of
the
preemption
on
our
zoning
laws
at
the
state
level.
So,
to
the
extent
that
there
are
bad
state
laws
that
are
preventing
us
from
stopping
pollution,
that's
something
that
we're
going
to
be
working
on
and
look
forward
to
working
with
you
all
on
that.
AK
Through
the
chair,
Commissioners
Eric,
Nelson,
Deputy,
City
attorney
for
the
city
attorney's
office,
yeah,
I,
I,
I,
I,
agree
with
commissioner
to
my
left.
I,
don't
know
that
this
is
the
proper
time
or
the
vehicle
to
do
this
type
of
work.
This
is
more
in
the
nature
of
a
friendly
request.
There
isn't
a
sort
of
a
staff
Direction
type
of
vehicle
that
that
that
would
work
here.
AJ
Well,
Mr
chair
that
wasn't
the
letter
said
letter
requested
that
the
president
of
the
count
of
the
commission
send
a
letter
to
the
mayor
asking
that
he
who
doesn't
have
the
power
make
make
those
directions
we're
not
directing
anybody.
You
were
asking
us
to
send
a
letter
which
I
think
we
can
do
it
anytime,
but
I
appreciate
your
support.
It's
not
I
think.
AK
Fair
enough
through
the
chair,
commissioner,
that
thanks
for
the
clarification
yeah,
that's
like
I
said
that
you're
free
to
communicate
and
if
this
is
a
decision
of
the
body
that
they
would
like
to
send
our
a
request
to
the
mayor
in
any
form
or
fashion,
you
were
able
to
do
that.
Obviously,.
AI
Thank
you,
I
I'm,
happy
to
wait
till
all
the
zoning
Amendments
have
been
considered,
but
I
would
like,
after
that,
for
it
to
be
considered
to
be
sent
along
with
the
code
I,
don't
think
it
would
make
sense
to
do
it.
I
mean
it
has
to
do
with
our
land.
Use
zoning,
so
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
be
sent
together.
So
I
would
I'm
happy
to
I
understand
what
you're
saying
commissioner
Ford
and
I'm
I'm
willing
to
whatever
the
proper
Roberts
Rules
of
Order
is
to
come
back
to
that.
AI
A
K
Am
bringing
forth
this
amendment
with
commissioner
Baxley
and
we
are
thank
you
for
all
of
the
great
public
testimony
today
regarding
Urban
neighborhoods
and
wanting
to
see
limited
commercial
expanded
and
it
counted
nine
of
our
public
comments
tonight
were
about
this.
So
I
really
appreciate
you
all
coming
out.
I
know
how
our
esoteric
zoning
is,
and
so
thank
you
for
really
digging
into
it
and
figuring
it
out
with
us.
We
appreciate
it,
and
so
we
are
looking
to
amend
chapter
545
use
regulations
to
change
the
following
and
table.
K
Also,
and
then
limited
commercials
shall
be
subject
to
the
following
General
standards:
limit
of
one
commercial
use
on
a
zoning
lot.
No
off
street
parking
shall
be
provided
for
this
site
on
the
for
the
commercial
use.
Any
outdoor,
seating
or
outdoor
display
area
shall
be
located
at
least
25
feet
from
the
nearest
property
line
shared
another
with
another
residential
use
in
urban
neighborhood
District
in
principal
entrances,
for
the
commercial
use
should
be
oriented
towards.
For
me,
I
would
also
like
to
add
to
this
list,
which
you
won't
see
in
your
packet
right
now.
A
A
N
Proceed
no
I'm,
I'm
glad
that
that
one
was
presented
and
thank
you
for
commissioner
Campbell
for
noting
that
so
yes,
one
of
my
amendments,
overlaps
and
to
some
extent,
conflicts
with
this.
N
So
I'll
go
over
what
my
Amendment
would
do
and
then
you
know
we
kind
of
have
an
A
La,
Carte
menu
of
options
between
them
and
I.
Think
we
can
mix
them
together.
N
I
I
do
think.
Overall,
mine
makes
more
ambitious
changes,
so
I
would
ask
that
we
vote
on
mine
first
and
then,
if
we
vote
that
down,
then
we
can
move
to
commissioner
marwas
and
in
that
event,
I
would
have
some
amendments
to
that
amendment
to
propose
so
we're
looking
at
the
Meyer
amendment
2
and
what
you
have
so.
The
motion
for
this
would
be
to
allow
additional
commercial
uses
shown
in
the
attached
amended
table.
N
545
slash,
one
such
uses
uses
would
be
allowed
only
on
Corner
Lots
in
the
un-1
and
un2
districts
and
on
all
properties
in
the
un3
district.
N
AB
N
Oh
and
it
is
on
on
there
so
so
the
changes
in
my
Amendment
from
what
the
staff
had
originally
proposed
are
just
the
one,
the
purple
ones
that
say
1.5
see
so
that
stands
for
1500
feet
conditional,
and
so
this
was
you
know
what
I
was
referencing
before
in
the
committee
of
the
whole,
where
you
know
the
comp
plan
and
the
comp
plan
says
that
commercial
uses
in
in
these
areas
are
not
encouraged,
which
the
staff
was
interpreting
as
prohibited
I
interpreted
that
to
mean
that
they
should
be
conditional,
and
so
this
would
allow
you
know
the
uses
on
on
this
list,
which
is
a
few.
N
A
couple
of
them
are
more
expansive
than
the
Marvel
Bexley
proposal,
so
it
would
allow
them
by
right
everywhere
or
Not
by
right,
I'm,
conditionally,
but
it'd
be
everywhere
in
un3,
which
you
know
includes,
trends
of
10
and
even
Transit
30.,
and
then
for
the
un-1
and
un2,
which
are
more
residential.
It
allows
them
only
on
Corner
Lots.
N
So
that
would
be
my
proposal
and
then,
if,
if
that
were
to
fail,
then
the
proposed
amendments
to
the
the
Marvel
Amendment.
That
I
would
suggest
are
so
adding
in
allowing
the
corner
uses
for
un1
I.
Think
that's
important
so
that
people
like
Elizabeth
Brackett
can
have
a
coffee
shop
in
their
neighborhood
and
to
make
it
1500
square
feet
instead
of
10
1500
is
where
I've
I've
put
mine
at
the
logic
behind
that
is
to
allow
for
an
average
sized
coffee
shop.
N
N
So
I
think
that
we
should
allow
those
throughout
the
city
on
Corner
sites-
and
you
know,
as
I've
articulated
before
I
think,
there's
a
special
argument
for
doing
it
on
the
corner
sites
yeah.
So
that's
the
description
of
mine
I
would,
if,
if
two
blacks,
if
you
allow
it
I,
would
propose
mine
first,
so
I
can
make
the
motion
to
put
mine
on
the
table
if
you're
willing
to
do
that.
A
N
Oh
one
other
thing
to
add:
sorry,
that's
I'm,
also
I
I,
like
the
things
that
commissioner
marwa
has
in
here
on
for
un
one
and
two
to
limit
of
one
commercial
use
on
the
zoning
lawn.
No
off
street
parking
shall
be
provided
on
site
for
the
commercial
use,
any
outdoor,
seating
or
display
like
these
conditions.
One
two
three
and
four
I
would
be
happy
to
add
those
in
I
think
those
are
good.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Just
ask
a
point
of
clarification
procedure.
Is
this
at
what
point
does
a
minion
just
amending
become
more
than
amending
and
I
wonder
if,
if
staff
has
had
a
chance
to
weigh
in
on
on
these
proposed
modifications,
could
I
Jason?
Would
you
mind.
F
Commissioners
all
the
amendments
that
have
been.
F
All
the
Amendments
that
have
been
been
discussed
so
far
have
been
reviewed
by
staff,
though
they're
beyond
what
we
would
be
comfortable
with
in
our
recommendation,
they're,
certainly
within
the
commission's
scope
and
Authority
tonight,
and
this
obviously
moves
forward
through
a
city
council
process
after
this
and
through
that
process,
we
would
be
converting
that
into
a
more
technical
code
texts.
F
A
K
F
F
Yeah
I
may
be
missing
the
question
whether
there
was
any
room
for
misunderstanding
there
or
I.
K
C
AL
Sorry
I
accidentally
jumped
in
I
did
not
mean
to
interrupt
you,
Mr,
Wittenberg,
I,
think
what
commissioner
Marr
was
asking.
If
it's
this
conditional
use,
that
means
they
an
applicant
would
need
to
apply
for
conditional
use
permit
which
would
come
before
the
Planning
Commission.
So
it's
not
permitted
as
of
right.
It's
it's
allowed
in
that
zoning
District,
but
it
would
come
be
for
you
for
a
conditional
use
permit
it.
A
Commissioner
Meyer
is
it
if
I
could
it's
your
intention
that
all
of
these
uses
would
be
through
a
conditional
use
process.
D
N
The
the
reasoning
for
that
that's
right
and
that
it
would
require
that
and
I
think
it'd
be
worthwhile
Jason.
If
we
can,
if
you
can
say
the
same
things
that
we
talked
about
today,
you
know
on
your
thoughts
about
that.
The
reason
you
know
that
it
was
proposed
this
way
is
just
the
way
the
comp
plan
is
written.
N
I
do
think
it
would
make
more
sense
to
allow
them
by
right
which
it
and
which
is
the
the
staff
preference,
but
this
seemed
like
it
was
in
the
scope
like
it
when
it
says
not
encouraged
like
that.
That
means
to
me
that
it
does
have
conditional.
That
does
mean
more
work
for
us
and
for
staff,
but
my
understanding
was
that
it
would
take
a
comp
plan
Amendment
to
make
it
buy
right.
F
Commissioners
I
think
I'm
having
I
now
have
a
better
understanding
of
the
of
the
rationale
for
the
suggested
conditional
use
that
that
the
view
is
that
that
is
a
better
fit
within
the
within
the
code
within
the
policy
language
that
suggests
that
they're
not
encouraged
practically
speaking,
there's
not
a
big
difference
between
excuse
me,
permitted
or
conditional
in
this
context.
I
I,
don't
know
what
the
the
commission
would
use
to
deny
a
1500
square
foot
commercial
use.
F
Generally,
staff
has
shied
away
from
conditional
use
permits
where
it's
feasible
to
draft
conditions.
Development
standards
use
standards
that
would
be
would
be
used
to
put
in
into
the
code
in
a
way
that
mitigates
anticipated
effects
and
therefore,
what
what's
really
to
be
gained
through
that
conditional
use
permit
process.
If
you
effectively
do
that.
So
that's
the
nature
of
the
discussion
that
commissioner
Meyer
and
I
had
about
the
benefits
or
drawbacks
of
either
permitted
or
conditional.
N
And
one
other
thing
that
we
had
discussed
was
you
know
one
the
the
main
thing
I
have
in
my
mind.
Is
you
know
whether
the
use
is
going
to
create
a
new
sense
for
the
adjacent
properties
which
would
generally
be
noise,
and
things
like
that
which
you
explained
is
regulated
through
the
licensing
process,
which
is
not
something
that
we
can
include,
but
we
can
make
recommendations
for
what
the
licensing
would
be
or
staff
can
make
recommendations.
F
That's
right,
commissioner:
Meyer,
as
the
commissioner
mentions,
hours
of
operation
are
something
that
are
regulated
through
the
licensing,
ordinance
and
right
now,
they're,
probably
isn't
a
reference
to
how
what
the
business
hours
of
operation
would
be
in
in
this
District.
So
our
recommendation
should
this
pass
would
be
that
the
licensing
ordinance,
that's
also
going
to
be
working
its
way
through
the
city
council
process
be
amended
to
address
the
issue
of
these
businesses.
Hours
of
operation
in
the
UN
districts.
E
E
F
E
Then
the
licensing
portion
that's
moving
its
way
through
in
a
similar
way
that
the
the
the
zoning
changes
are
at.
What
point
do
they
come
together
right
because
at
some
point,
somebody's
going
to
have
to
make
a
decision
as
to
whether
the
land
use
and
the
zoning
aligns
with
the
licensing
and
makes
sense
for
us
to
implement
city-wide?
Do
they
happen
together?
Yes,.
F
Commissioner
Campbell,
the
the
other
ordinances
that
are
that
must
be
updated
in
conjunction
with
this,
because
they
refer
to
zoning
districts,
for
example.
That
will
no
longer
exist.
It's
our
anticipation
that
those
ordinances
will
join
together
at
the
city
council,
Biz
committee,
okay,
same
time
and
be
approved
and
take
effect
at
the
same
time
got.
E
It
okay,
the
reason
I
ask
is
that
I
think
I.
Are
we
at
the
point
where
I
can
say
what
my
opinion
is?
Okay,
no!
No!
You
I
I
generally
do
support
this
and
I.
Think
there's
been
a
lot
of
compelling
testimony
from
the
public
here
today
as
to
why
this
is
needed.
I
think
I,
point
primarily
to
the
comma
that
was
made
about
the
changing
environment
of
our
neighborhoods
post
pandemic.
I
think
we
have.
We
have
to
rethink
the
way
that
we
are
living
in
our
city.
E
E
This
seems
like
a
small
change
in
the
city
council
room
potentially,
but
I
do
think
that
the
implications
of
it
are
are
broad
widespread
and
potentially,
we
are
potentially
under
appreciating
them
and
I
just
want
to
take
a
step
back
and
make
sure
we're
considering
the
process
by
which
this
is
moving
through,
so
that
we're
not
creating
a
zoning
change
that
ultimately
leads
to
bigger
problems
down
the
line
not
just
for
the
city,
but
for
the
people
who
are
in
charge
of
issuing
conditional
use
permits
and
that
kind
of
thing
and
so
I'm
just
thinking
about
do
we
have
the
right
mechanisms
in
place.
E
For
instance,
in
my
I
live
on
a
corner
lot,
I
can
I'm
trying
to
Envision
this
happening
in
my
life
and
what
that
would
mean
for
my
home
and
for
my
neighborhood
and
that
kind
of
thing
and
I
think
it
would
be
frankly.
I
mean
I
live
in
a
very
residential
part
of
the
city,
but
it
would
be
very
weird
right.
It's
a
weird
thing
for
my
home
to
turn
into
commercial
use.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Campbell
I
mean
it's
an
interesting
discussion,
because
it's
not
it's
it's
it's
trending
more
towards
not
zoning
changes
but
use
discussions
and
I
I
feel
like
that.
You
know
by
having
these
as
conditional
uses,
it
allows
a
discussion
within
a
zoning
about
what's
appropriate
use,
which
is
interesting,
but
it's
not
necessarily
zoning
changes
per
se.
It's
still
you
in
one.
AM
Thank
you,
chair,
Bexley,
I
just
was
wondering
if
perhaps
Maura
and
Baxley
you
guys
could
just
describe
and
go
because
I
think
we're
talking
about
these
at
the
same
time.
So
I
want
to
just
understand
a
little
bit
more
about
your
reasoning
of
of
leaving
un1
out
and
only
include
am
I
understanding
this
right
you're
only
including
un2
and
un3.
AM
So
maybe
we
could
go
through
a
few
of
the
differences
and
you
could
maybe
walk
through
some
of
your
thoughts
around
on
this,
because
my
understanding
would
be,
as
commissioner
Campbell
just
said
in
this
yours,
his
house
would
not
he
lives
on
a
corner.
Lot
would
not
be
subject
to
change
to
this,
but
would
be,
and
commissioner
Myers
just
and
I'm
a
visual
person,
so
I'm
not
sure
if
it
would
be
helpful
for
other
people.
AM
If
we
could
put
up
the
map
of,
are
you
in
districts
at
all
you
own
one
so
and
because,
like
commissioner
Campbell
said,
I
too
was
compelled
by
you
know
the
way
we
work
and
the
way
we
live
and
play
has
changed.
Really.
You
know
dramatically
and
I
really
do
think
forever
and
I
do
think
about
how
you
know
downtown
is
changing
and
the
amenities
that
people
want
closer
to
their
homes
and
so
I
also
was
really
compelled
by
I.
AM
Believe
her
name
was
Elizabeth
back
it
I,
don't
believe
she's
here
now
and
I
grew
up
in
Northeast
Minneapolis,
where
there
are
a
lot
of
corner
shops
bars.
You
know,
and
you
know,
amenities
that
were
once
there
and
now
are
no
longer
I
now
live
in
a
neighborhood
that
doesn't
have
quite
that
feel
but
curious
to
know
how
that
could
as
we
evolve
as
a
city.
How
this
could
change
and
look
so
I
guess,
like
I,
said
visual
person
here
and
if
you
guys
could
just
kind
of
walk
through.
A
Maybe
this
is
sort
of
two
A
Tale
of
Two
approaches
here
and
commissioner
MOA
you
can
one
was
stepping
a
little
bit
gingerly
into
the
idea
of
introducing
more
commercial
and
one
stepping
in
more
fully
and
more
robustly.
I
think
is
probably
the
easiest
way
to
describe
this.
It
wasn't
an
intention
either
way
it
was
sort
of
what's
palatable.
A
What
do
you
think
we
could
get
through
the
city
as
a
first
step,
so
this
was
some
language
that
we
had
worked
out
with
staff
that
felt
fairly
palatable
that
had
a
good
shot
of
of
kind
of
moving
through
as
a
all
right,
we're
gonna
start
moving
towards
allowing
more
commercial
in
you,
one
two
and
three
districts,
and
this
was
sort
of
step,
one
so
again,
I
think
they're
they're
both
have
a
lot
of
Merit.
It's
just
a
sort
of
a
pension
of
the
commission.
K
I
would
add
to
that
and
I
actually
have
a
question
for
the
City
attorney.
It's
off
would
the
way
that
commissioner
Meyer
has
proposed
it
in
U.N,
one
two
and
three
with
those
different
uses.
Does
that?
Would
that
be
a
challenge
to
2040
the
way
it's
worded
right
now,
because
I'd
like
to
see
some
of
it
like
some
is
better
than
zero
is
kind
of
was
our
approach
was
like
what
what
can
we
get
in
without
having
to
do
a
whole
comp
plan
Amendment?
K
A
AK
Sorry,
chair
Baxley,
so
the
the
the
planning
commissions
action
here
today
will
be.
Are
an
action
that's
forwarded
to
the
council.
The
council
then
has
their
full
legislative
discretion.
So
they
can,
you
know,
go
go
with
the
staff.
You
go
with
this
view.
Go
with
another
view.
Okay,
it's
all
on
the
table.
Okay,
so
thank.
AM
Oh
okay,
chair
do
the
chair.
Sorry,
so
just
to
clarify
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
understand
yours
does
not
include
you
won.
Okay,
thank
you.
AJ
A
AJ
E
Just
a
point
of
clarification,
so,
commissioner
Meyer
your
amendment
is
1500
square
feet
and
un
1
and
your
and
the
only
so
that's
the
major
difference,
correct
between
your
Amendment
and
the
marwa
Baxley
Amendment.
N
E
N
Be
great
yeah,
okay,
so
one
difference
is
1500
square
feet.
Instead
of
one
thousand
yep,
it
applies
to
un1
instead
of
just
un
two
and
three.
So
if
mine
applies
to
all
three
mine
only
requires
one
residential
unit,
whereas
the
Marvel
Boxley
one
requires
four.
N
And
it's
hard
to
do
quite
an
Apples
to
Apples
comparison,
because
the
way
the
Marvel
Boxley
one
is
written,
says
general
retail
sales
and
services
that
are
also
allowed
in
mixed-use
buildings
in
the
rm1
district
are
allowed,
and
so
there's
coffee
shop
that
second
version
the
office
and
commissioner
Marvel
added
art
studios,
so
I'm
not
actually
sure
which
ones
are
included
in
in
the
Bible
actually
one
and
which
ones
aren't
on
mine.
N
You
know
they're
all
anything
with
a
1.5
c,
those
those
are
the
ones
that
are
newly
added
to
my
amendment,
that
aren't
in
the
staff
recommendation.
N
Oh,
when
you're
looking
at
the
table,
so
if
you
see
any
box
that
has
a
1.5
c
on
it,
that's
new
yeah
in
my
Amendment
and
the
rest
is
had
already
been
there
from
staff.
M
B
M
K
M
K
And
as
an
aside
I
just
had
a
comment:
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
have
to
take
land
use
law
in
planning
school.
But
do
you
remember
animal
boarding
coming
up
as
anyone?
No,
but
animal
boarding
is
very
contentious
because
nobody
wants
to
live
next
to
a
kennel
and
I've
flagged
that,
because
it
was
one
of
those
cases
that
like
has
cited
what
a
what
a
kennel
is
like.
If
you
have
more
than
seven
pets,
I
think
you're.
Technically
a
kennel,
you
remember
this
Jason,
you
probably
have
to
take
the
same
class.
K
We
went
to
the
same
school,
but
I
just
I
worry
about
that
one
specifically,
because
that
one
I
remember
having
to
study
the
case
of
okay.
Nobody
wants
to
live
next
to
the
kennel.
N
K
K
It
does
not
only
do
a
vet
because
it
is
different
hours,
so
if
a
vet
closes
at
five
and
it's
a
small
scale,
neighborhood
scale,
vet
I
think
it's
okay,
which
goes
to
your
you
know.
Is
it
an
overnight
that
is
it
not
things
beyond
our
control,
but
boarding
facilities
specifically
are
all
night
work
with
work
all.
A
Right,
let's
see
if
we
can
keep
moving
this
along
here,
so
do
we
have
rm1
descriptor,
Joe
or.
G
Chair
Baxley
I
believe
the
question
is
about
uses
that
fall
under
the
use
category
for
General
retail
sales
and
services.
Is
that
correct?
That's.
G
Is
the
list
of
all
of
the
uses
that
fall
under
the
general
retail
sales
and
services
category
as
Jason
was
explaining
earlier
this
evening?
There
are
some
individual
uses
that
are
enumerated
underneath
the
category
in
the
use
table
to
signify
that
they
are
allowed
in
different
districts
than
the
general
category.
Small
engine
repair
is
one
of
those
examples
it
is
that
is
only
allowed
in
the
pr
districts
got
it.
Thank
you.
AH
A
So
we
have
a
motion
on
the
floor.
Do
you
want
to
restate
that
I'll.
N
Restate
and
and
modify
it
to
subtract
animal
boarding.
Okay,
good
ask
the
Commissioners:
if
there
are
any
others
on
the
list
that
you
think
should
be
subtracted,
while
I'm
so
I'll
formally
move
move
to
allow
the
additional
commercial
uses
shown
in
the
attached
amended
table
545,
that's
one
such
uses
would
be
allowed
only
on
Corner
Lots
in
the
un-1
and
un2
districts
and
on
all
properties
in
the
un3
district.
N
N
There
will
be
a
limit
of
one
commercial
use
on
the
zoning
lot.
No
off
street
parking
shall
be
provided
on
the
site
for
the
commercial
use.
N
Any
outdoor,
seating
or
outdoor
display
area
shall
be
located
at
least
25
feet
from
the
nearest
property
line
it
shared
with
another
residential
use
in
an
urban
neighborhood
District
principal
entrances
for
the
commercial
use
shall
be
oriented
toward
a
public
Street
and
then
removing
animal
boarding
from
the
table.
That's
the
motion.
N
A
A
Sorry,
commissioner,
marwa
would
like
to
amend
un1
uses
to
only
include
coffee,
shop
and
small
office.
N
K
So
let's
do
rush,
I
would
keep
restaurant
is
fine
and
then
General
retail
sales
and
services
I'm
fine
with.
N
F
M
N
Of
Since,
since
we
have
the
condition
that
you
had
in
your
proposal
for
a
limit
of
one
conditional
commercial
use
on
the
zoning
lawn
that
would
conflict
with
the
shopping
center.
So.
N
I
do
think
we
should
keep
Art
Studio.
Yes,.
C
M
M
A
D
A
N
Yeah-
and
it
might
be
best
to
have
the
well
I
I
can
reset
it.
Maybe
I
could
have
the
clerk
reset
it
as
well.
Just
make
sure
we're
getting
okay
getting
it
all.
A
N
N
Bars
was
not
a
part
of
doesn't
work
or
it
wasn't
added
anywhere.
Restaurant
is
in
all
three.
N
A
K
N
So
I
would
say:
leave
that
in
wording
is
out
remove
animal
boarding
so.
D
N
Funeral
home
would
be
in
two
and
three,
but
not
one
yep
grocery
store
was
not
affected.
Liquor
wasn't
allowed
remove
package
delivery
service
keep
all
three
years
yep.
Oh
yeah.
Sorry
did
you
want
that
in
all
three
commissioner.
A
Sorry,
commissioner,
for
package
delivery
will
take
out
of
all
three
yes.
N
Three,
so
let
me
leave
at
a
time,
keep
secondhand
Goods
in
all
three
remove
shopping
center
from
L3.
C
Through
the
chair,
I
have
to
admit
I'm
gonna,
take
it
off
the
recording.
So,
okay,
there's
too
much
for
me
that
I'm
following
yeah
does
the
staff?
Have
it,
however,.
M
A
Yeah
and
then
we'll
include
the
four
items
from
our
Amendment
on.
AM
Thank
you,
chair,
Bexley,
I
just
was
wondering
I
noticed
in
the
I'm
just
using
just
used
as
an
example,
but
I
noticed
in
the
general
retail
sales
and
services
like
saunas,
were
there
but
I
know
we
also
just
recently,
where
we're
doing
some
work
around
that
I'm.
Just
using
this
as
an
example
but
kind
of
back
to
commissioner
Campbell's,
like
our
I,
guess,
I'm
too
new
at
this
to
understand
like
what
what
layers
over
what
and
if
we
were
to
allow,
for
example,
a
sauna
on
the
corner
of
a
home
in
un.
N
K
To
your,
you
Jason
to
your
point,
though,
that
you
just
made
if
this
is
going
above
and
beyond
and
would
need
a
comp
plan
Amendment,
as
this
amendment
is
stated,
do
you
still
think
we
would?
Commissioner
Meyer
would
still
have
to
bring
forward
a
comp
plan
amendment
to
make
this
work,
how
we
are
proposing
it
tonight.
F
Commissioners,
in
our
view,
the
what
I
understand
the
motion
to
be
right
now
crosses
a
line
that
is
not
consistent
with
the
comp
plan,
commissioner
marwa
and
baxton
us.
We
worked
on
a
motion
that
you
talked
about
earlier.
That
I
think
was
a
bit
more
of
an
incremental
step
that
one
could
make
an
argument
is
within
the
boundaries
of
the
comprehensive
plan.
There's
no
bright
line
here
when
something
crosses
over
from
requiring
a
comp
plan,
Amendment
or
not,
but
I,
think.
F
The
the
amendment
that
you
had
in
mind
was
again
more
of
an
incremental
move
in
the
in
the
direction
of
supporting
a
future
comprehensive
plan
amendment
that
would
more
broadly
deal
with
this
issue.
A
A
Yeah
again,
I
think
we're
I
think
we're
all
interested
in
expanding
those
uses
in
all
three
of
those
districts.
I
think
you
can
see
that
discussion
today
and
I
think
we've.
You
know
public
testimony
that
we've
heard
for
quite
some
time
around
that
so,
but
we
are
interested
in
getting
something
done
so
I
think
as
a
as
a
body
we
can
for
this.
It
can
go
to
commission
Council
and
they
can
yay
or
nay
it
it
will.
A
K
Have
a
question
Jason:
could
we
do
like
marwa
Baxley,
Amendment
one
and
then
also
then
vote
on
Myers,
which
is
a
more
expansive
Amendment
and
then
Council
can
determine
if
they
find
one?
Ours
is
fine
and
we
can
go
it
can
be
adopted
today
and
then,
if
Myers,
1.5
or
whatever
it
is
at
this
would
have
to
have
a
complex
Amendment
and
be
part
of
a
larger
discussion.
F
Commissioner,
why
I
would
say
no
that
there
should
be
a
recommendation
that
comes
from
the
Planning
Commission,
a
single
recommendation
that
doesn't
have
multiple
if
this,
if
you
find
this
to
be
consistent,
then
adopt
this.
If
you
find
this
can
to
be
consistent
about
this
I
think
there
ought
to
be
one
recommendation
coming
from
the
plan.
Commission.
E
E
Court
decides
whether
or
not
it
aligns
with
the
comp
plan
moving
forward
or
not,
and
the
comp
plan
itself
is
in
the
midst
of
a
hang
up
in
the
courts
as
is,
and
so
I
think
what
I
want
to
say
is
that
I
do
think.
Jason,
I,
I,
really
I
I
appreciate
the
work
that
you
do
and
I
appreciate
the
guidance
that
you're
giving
to
us
today.
I
do
think.
The
phrase
not
encouraged
does
just
one
of
somebody
out
here
said
leaves
a
little
bit
of
daylight
and
I.
E
Think
what
I'm
hearing
you
say
is
that
that
little
bit
of
daylight,
that
it
leaves
is
the
amendment
that
you
worked
out
with
Baxley
in
marwa.
Is
that
right,
because
I'd
hate
to
leave
this
meeting
voting
on
The
Meyer
Amendment
having
that
go
nowhere
and
then
have
to
start
this
whole
process
back
over
again.
AK
Thank
you
Eric
through
the
chair,
commissioner
and
I.
I
agree
with
what
Mr
Wittenberg
just
said.
AK
Conditional
use
is
a
use
and,
if
I
had,
if
given
some
time
here
and
I,
was
just
starting
to
look
but
I
could
find
probably
a
lot
of
different
case
law
language
that
would
go
to
the
similar
sentiment
that
a
conditional
use
is
a
use
that
is
generally
favorable
desired.
It's
a
use
that
will
be
allowed
after
it's
afforded
the
additional
scrutiny
through
a
public
process.
So
if
anything,
a
conditional
use
is
a
use,
that's
encouraged,
it's
not
discouraged,
it's
the
exact
opposite,
I
would
suggest,
and
so
I
think.
N
Eric,
commissioner
yeah,
so
you
know,
I
I
had
indicated
in
previous
Committees
of
the
whole
that
if
this
did
take
a
Amendment,
then
I
would
pursue
that
and
then
I'd
pursue
as
much
of
a
change
as
we
could
get
now
and
then
simultaneously.
You
know
be
at
a
two-track
system
where
we
also
went
for
an
additional
comp
plan.
Amendment
I'm
still
happy
to
do
that.
N
You
know
if,
if
staff
feels
that
this
is
going
to
be
rejected,
then
you
know
I
would
be
willing
to
withdraw
this
amendment
and
go
to
Baxley
one
but
I'm
wondering
if
we,
if
we
did
that,
would
you
be
receptive
to
my
amendments
to
the
amendment
on
that,
because
it
really
does
it
feels
like
a
very
you
know,
blurry
line
here
and
that
there
there
is.
N
You
know,
if
there's
room
for
some,
then
it
seems
like
there's
room
for
it
in
in
un1,
for
example,
I
don't
see
why
that
wouldn't
be
allowed,
and
then,
if
it's
permitted
to
have
a
thousand
square
feet
it
feels
like
1500
would
also
fit
within.
You
know
it
would
reach
our
goals
without
you
know,
pushing
too
hard
on
on
the
comp
plan
and
and
the
third
one
was
just
to
only
require
one
residential
unit
instead
of
the
four.
N
So
if
I
withdraw
my
Amendment,
would
you
be
receptive
to
allowing
those
three
amendments
to
the
amendment
and
and
feel
that
was
within
the
comp
plan?
Commissioners.
F
I,
don't
think
staff
can
tell
you
exactly
when
you
cross
the
line
from
that
little
bit
of
daylight
to
to
clearly
inadmissible
under
the
under
the
comprehensive
plan.
F
I
think
staff
has
been
pretty
unequivocal
since
we
started
talking
about
this
a
number
of
meetings
ago
in
committee,
the
whole
that
we
think
that
taken
in
its
entirety,
Minneapolis
2040,
does
not
allow
does
not
support
the
establishment
of
new
commercial
uses
in
U.N
areas
outside
of
those
goods
and
services
corridors
and
there's
no
question
that
this
topic
wasn't
really
discussed
in
at
any
length
during
the
comprehensive
plan
process.
F
F
Obviously
that's
a
a
little
bit
of
hyperbole
there,
but
I
think
the
commission
should
use
your
judgment
to
decide
what
you
think
fits
Within.
The
comprehensive
plan,
as
you
know
it
and
staff,
is-
has
provided
guidance
in
this
topic.
That
I
don't
know
that
we
can
split
split
these
hairs
any
further
than
we
have
already.
A
Thank
you
very
much
Jason
on
the
all
right,
commissioner
Koski.
Thank.
AM
You
chair,
Bexley,
I,
guess
I
would
just
suggest
that
we
move
forward
with
taking
the
vote
on
commissioner
Myers
and
then
see
what
happens
there
and
then
move
forward
with
the
Second,
Amendment
and
I'm
just
going
to
be
transparent
here.
That
I
will
not
be
a
supporting
commissioner.
Myers
I
also
feel
that
the
the
second
amendment
that
we
have
I
you
have
done
your
homework
to
connect
with
staff,
and
we
see
a
little
bit
of
light.
AM
AM
A
You,
commissioner,
Cathy
just
point
of
order:
if
Can
commissioner
Meyer
retract
his
I
meant,
we
don't
have
to
vote
it
or
do
we
need
to
continue
with
that
motion
since
it's
been
put
on
the
table
at.
B
This
point
Mr
chair
his
motion
is
on
the
floor
and
seconded.
So
it's
now
a
motion
of
the
body.
If,
if
there's
no
objection,
it
can
be
retracted.
Otherwise
it's
the
motion
is
before
the
body
currently.
A
If
it
suits
the
commission,
I
I
will
take
commissioner
koski's
advice.
I
think
we
should
vote
on
it.
Okay,
so
it's
been
motioned
in
second
in.
We
just
need
to
vote
correct
all
in
favor,
aye.
AI
I
would
just
like
to
pass
something
tonight
that
that
is
likely
to
go
through
so
I
would,
while
I
like
what
you
proposed,
I
I
would
like
it
not
to
be
litigated
and
not
to
have
it
be
taken
stripped
from
whatever
the
council
reviews
so
totally
supportive
of
of
what
it
is.
I
just
think
that
the
comp
plan,
Amendment
might
have
more
be
a
good
way
to
go
along
with
a
modified
Marwan,
Baxley
Amendment.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner
Albert
commissioner
Ford
yeah.
AJ
Mr
chair,
thank
you.
I
can
count
the
vote,
so
let
me
suggest
to
Mr
commissioner
Maya
that
you
do
withdraw
it
yes
and
see
where
it
goes.
Is
that
better
than
having
me
defeated.
N
D
M
J
D
K
And
then
I
would
also
like
to
make
a
slight
a
slight
tweak.
That
says
only
in
a
building
that
includes
four
more
residential
units
to
modify
that
to
say
one
or
more
residential
unit
unit.
D
N
A
And
we're
clear
on
what
that,
what
that
is
all
right,
all
right,
so
we're
voting
more
discussion
all
right,
commissioner
Koski.
AM
Chair
Bexley
I
just
was
wondering
the
one
I
guess
I
feel
like
we're
kind
of
running
around
in
circles
here
a
little
bit
and
I
am
certainly
not
an
expert
in
this.
Nor
did
I
do
any
of
the
work
on
this.
Nor
do
I
have
a
background
in
planning,
so
I,
quite
honestly,
to
make
this
change
from
one
unit
to
you
know
from
four
units
to
one
unit
feels
not
appropriate,
but
that's
how
I
stand
and
I
I
felt
that
the
way
that
you
I'm
fine,
adding
the
art,
studio
and
1500
square
feet.
AM
But
this
feels
like
we're
really
getting
into
the
weeds
here,
and
you
know
to
some
of
the
Commissioners
points.
This
is
something
that
we
want
to
be
supportive
of,
as
it
continues
to
move
forward
and
I.
Think
if
we
continue
to
tweak
without
the
expertise
of
staff
that
we're
getting
ourselves
into
some
muddier
Waters.
But
that's
my
my
thoughts.
AI
Thank
you
yeah,
so
my
rationale
and
I'm
I,
like
the
one
or
more
residential
units,
piece
I,
just
think
about
how
many
corners
do
we
actually
have
that
have
quads
like
I,
can't
think
of
any
right
now
so
I
mean
very
few
that
are
not
on
a
commercial
corridor
already,
so
I
I
think
it
sort
of
creates
this
loophole.
AI
That's
really
really
restrictive
if
we
just
potentially
not
having
done
any
research
on
it
also,
you
know
like
if
we,
if
we
say
four
or
more
residential
units
and
I,
think
about
all
these
single-family
homes
that
have
a
lot
of
you
know.
Maybe
only
one
person
in
them
or
a
lot
of
extra
space
or
I
don't
know
so
I
would
be
Pro.
That
piece.
F
Sure
Commissioners,
the
idea
behind,
including
a
small
scale
commercial
use
in
a
mixed-use
building
in
these
districts,
is
that
the
commercial
would
be
a
secondary
use
where
four
or
more
units
is
going
to
be
more
than
a
thousand
square
feet.
It's
going.
The
residential
is
going
to
be
the
primary
use
on
that
property
in
a
in
what's
intended
to
be
a
residential
district,
so
that
was
that
was
staff's
rationale
for
that
piece
of
the
marwa
Baxley
amendment
to
only
apply
to
four
or
more
unit
buildings.
N
Yeah
I'd
like
to
keep
in
the
one
residential
I
think
you
know
if
it's
just
for
plexus
I
mean
it
won't
apply
to
very
many
spaces
in
in
the
city
and,
like
I,
think
allowing
low
intensity
commercial
use.
N
You
know
if
you've
got
a
single
family,
home
and
you've
got
people
living
above
it
that
doesn't
change
the
residential
character
of
the
neighborhood
to
to
allow
them
to
have
something.
On
the
first
floor,
so
I
would
like
to
keep
it
in.
N
We
could
have
separate
votes
on
them,
but
commissioner
Bob
has
put
it
forward
as
a
combined
one.
So
I
would.
A
K
K
In
many
cities
you
see
kind
of
single-family,
home
or
kind
of
the
conversion
on
Corners
that
have
become
a
cool,
restaurant
or
coffee
shop
or
office
space,
and
we
don't
allow
that
here,
based
on
how
the
zoom,
how
the
zoning
Works
in
these
un
districts
so
I
think
allowing
it
on
one
makes
it
not
have
to
be
a
cookie
cutter
for
flexibility
building
that
has
that
only
there,
it
kind
of
allows
more
creative
uses
to
come
out
and
kind
of
the
fabric
of
what
already
exists
in
our
committees.
Already.
A
A
Okay,
all
right,
so
we
have
a
proposal.
We
have
a
second
any
further
discussion.
A
Right
with
Kirk,
please
call
the
roll.
C
My
apologies,
commissioner,
Alper.
Y
AD
C
AJ
C
N
A
E
Mr
chairman
make
a
friendly
suggestion.
Yes,
sir
may
I
suggest
that
we
move
on
to
residential
setbacks
or
excuse
me,
Universal
setbacks.
E
And
then
potentially
I
know
there
was
other
people.
Do
we
have
Amendment
for
grocery
stores?
I,
don't
know
that
we
do
you
do
okay,
I.
E
A
A
N
N
AI
You
thank
you
so
much
commissioner
Meyer,
and
give
me
just
a
moment
to
get
my
my
thoughts
together.
AI
All
right
so
I
would
like
to
take
up
one
of
the
original
amendments
that
I
put
forward
just
in
case
that
we
decide.
You
know
not
to
go
forward
with
this
idea
of
a
staff.
A
letter
from
president
Olson
to
the
mayor
from
the.
AI
Commission,
so
I
would
like
to
look
at
it's
Alper
number
two
amending
section:
520
.140
existing
uses
in
chapter
520,
General
Provisions
to
change
the
following
and
I'm
just
going
to
go
to
the
piece
that
actually
has
the
change
where
it
would
add
a
c
notwithstanding.
AI
AI
AI
State
law,
I
believe,
allows
cities,
it
allows
cities
to
ban
expansion,
and
this
is
about
using
our
our
rights
and,
what's
in
our
control,
to
think
about
these
moderate
impact
uses
there
that
that
are
here
in
our
city,
but
it's
talking
about
their
expansion
and
intensification
and
making
sure
that
we
are
not
making
things
worse
so
it
the
purpose,
is
to
eliminate
the
ability
of
non-conforming
uses
to
expand.
A
AJ
Could
you
clarify
the
staff
clarify
what
a
principal
electrical
electricity
generation
is?
Is
that
a
big
Power
Plant.
F
AJ
So
if
there
was
going
to
be
a
community
solar
garden
that
would
be
allowed
or
not
allowed.
N
I'm
not
sure
I
can
vote
for
this
because
it
seems
to
be
more
expansive
than
than
I
would
go
for.
I
could
go
for
the
high
impact
production
processing
that
makes
sense,
but
I
believe
moderate
impact.
Production
involves
a
lot
of
uses
that
seem
to
me
appropriate
and
like
post-consumer
waste
processing.
I
think
that's
something
that
we
need
so
I
think
this
goes.
N
So
I
I'm,
not
sure
I,
could
vote
for
this
now
I
might
be
persuaded
to,
but
I
we
need
to
hear
more
to
be
persuaded
about
that.
Okay.
Thank
you,
commissioner.
AJ
K
F
Commissioner,
Marvel
I
I
don't
believe
that
this
particular
provision
under
discussion
was
part
of
a
staff
recommendation
in
in
January
staff's.
Con
main
concern
about
a
provision
like
this
is
that,
for
example,
if
a
non-conforming
use
were
to
seek
to
enclose
some
activity,
production
and
processing
activity
that
currently
happens,
Outdoors,
that
might
be
an
objectively
positive
move,
but
that
is
an
expansion
of
that
non-conforming
use.
Okay,.
F
I
think
we
heard
some
testimony
that
perhaps
some
Nuance
could
be
considered
for
expansions
that
don't
increase
pollution
or
off-site
impacts.
Staff
has
concerns
about
the
ability
to
gauge
that
and
as
well
as
the
jurisdictional
issues
around
who
can
regulate
emissions.
But
there
was
an
attempt
by
one
testifier,
at
least
to
add
some
Nuance
to
the
question
of
expansions
of
non-conforming
use.
K
AK
AK
They
don't
have
to
be
granted
and
so
you're
able
to
weigh
all
these
different
factors
way,
testimony
pro
and
con
and
reach
a
decision
on
an
expansion
to
Mr
wittenberg's
point
where
there
may
be
times
where
things
may
be
advantageous
and
I'll
also
note
that,
in
terms
of
non-conforming
law,
there
is
the
ability
of
a
non-conformity
to
to
continue
indefinitely
through
a
variety
of
manner,
and
that
includes
Improvement,
and
so
sometimes
there
can
be
a
lot
of
nuance
between
Improvement,
which
is
allowed
as
of
right
versus
exp
intensification,
for
example,
you
might
have
some
modernization
of
some
equipment
that
makes
it
more
efficient,
which
could
argue,
could
be
intensive
intensification,
but
others
might
argue
that
the
processes
are
more
environmentally
friendly
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
AK
A
Okay,
so
we
have
a
proposal
floor.
We
have
a
second
any
more
discussion.
C
N
C
D
N
A
E
The
reason
I
voted
no
is
that
what
I
heard
from
the
city
attorney
is
that
we
already
have
the
power
that
is
being
sought
by
the
the
amendment
and
I
think
I.
Think
I,
don't
know
if
I
caught
this
point
correctly
or
not,
but
the
language
within
that
amendment
limits
somebody's
ability
to
make
their
potentially
make
their
production
more
energy
efficient.
E
AK
AM
A
AM
That's
really
helpful
I
did
was
in
favor
of
this
I.
Think
that
sorry,
it's
hard
to
understand,
always
exactly
the
limitations
or
what
we're
proposing
so
the
reality
of,
even
if
just
including
number
two,
it
there's
really
no
change
in
that.
My
understanding
that
correctly
so
correct.
A
E
N
N
So
this
moves
the
maximum
square
footage
for
grocery
stores,
from
10
000
to
20
000
in
a
couple
of
the
zoning
areas
and
I
believe
that's
important.
The
existing
10
000
restriction
wouldn't
allow
something
like
the
Trader,
Joe's
downtown
and
much
less.
You
know
a
qualities
which
is
about
about
twenty
thousand,
so
I
I
felt
that
20
000
was
the
more
appropriate
number.
I
was
persuaded
by
the
the
argument.
N
The
staff
made
on
the
upper
end
I
had
previously
intended
to
remove
the
40
something
thousand
requirement
on
areas
of
quarter
or
six,
but
I
was
persuaded
by
the
argument
that
we
want
to
not
absorb
all
of
the
market
demand
in
just
a
few
places,
but
I
feel
that
20
000
square
feet
is
still
important
to
allow
some
of
the
standard
models
that
we
would
want
to
attract.
F
Commissioner,
marwad
generally,
the
scale
of
uses
that's
recommended
is
consistent
with
our
understanding
of
the
size
of
uses.
That's
supposed
to
align
with
those
future
land
use
districts,
but
there
are
no
specific
concerns
about
increasing
the
gross
floor
area
of
grocery
stores.
I
mean
with
larger
grocery
stores,
they're
become
more
trucks,
larger
trucks
idling
that
kind
of
thing.
So
if
there
were
a
concern,
it
would
be
along
those
lines,
but
there
isn't
a
specific
objection
beyond
that.
Thank.
Q
D
A
A
N
AB
N
Meyer
I'll
move,
then
Meyer
Amendment
one.
This
is
a
motion
that
would
also
apply
the
yard
requirements
in
proposed
table
540-21
to
all
development
in
the
UN
and
RM
districts.
N
So
basically,
on
the
page
here
you
see
three
different
sets
of
setbacks.
Those
would
all
be
those
charts
would
all
be
removed
from
it
and
they
would
all
just
be
standardized
with
the
same
setbacks
that
are
on
the
back
page
with
15
feet
for
the
front
yard,
eight
feet
for
the
corner
side,
five
feet
for
the
interior
side
and
five
feet
for
the
rear,
and
earlier
today
there
was
someone
in
the
audience
who
had
an
image
of
what
this
is
trying
to
solve.
N
I,
don't
know
if
you
still
have
that,
but
if
you
can
show
that
that's
the
problem
that
this
amendment
is
is
trying
to
solve,
and
initially
when
I
was
looking
at
this,
it
seemed
to
be
a
you
know
outside
horoscope,
because
this
is
built
form,
but
it's
actually.
It
is
in
the
scope
of
this
because
the
setbacks
are
determined
by
the
land
use
not
by
the
built
form
districts
that
we
already
have.
N
So
you
know
if
you
control
that
image
again,
he'll
hold
it
up
like
the
the
side
on
the
left
there,
that
type
of
building
is
allowed
in
cm,
but
under
un
and
RM
the
setbacks.
So
for
this
building
you
can
have
the
same
height.
N
You
know
you're
allowed
to
build
six
stories
on
on
a
site
like
this,
but
the
setbacks
that
are
required
in
the
draft
take
up
so
much
of
the
usable
space
that
you
would
have
an
absurdly
narrow
building,
and
so
you
wouldn't
functionally
be
allowed
to
build
as
tall
as
the
2040
plan
envisions.
In
my
view,
this
is
so.
The
the
setbacks
proposed
on
the
back
page
here
are
not
what
I
would
propose
from
scratch
like
if
I
was
proposing
from
scratch.
N
I
would
significantly
reduce
the
front
yard
setbacks
that
I
feel
like
front
yard.
Setbacks
are
often
not
good
uses
of
space,
but
these
setbacks
were
deemed
appropriate
in
other
zoning
contexts.
N
So
if,
if
these
work
for
a
six
story,
building
in
one
area,
you
know
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
just
standardize
these,
so
that
people
can
make
appropriate
use
of
of
the
full
lot
and
not
have
you
know
and
absurdly
thin
building
like
the
one
on
that
photo.
So
that's
the
intent
behind
the
amendment.
K
Only
a
setback
issue
that
leads
to
that
photo
that
I
mean
I
think
it's
also
amending
what
we
have
as
fourier's
ratio
standard
standards
across
the
board
for
every
District,
that
kind
of
dictates
what
you're
able
to
build
there.
What
that
project
looks
like
I
will
refer
to
the
architect
on
our
commission,
too.
Commission
mayor
yeah.
N
You
end
up
with
the
building
on
the
right,
so
both
of
them
have
an
an
equivalent
far.
AM
F
The
Commissioners
first
of
all,
we
we
do
think
this
is
out
of
scope
with
this
amendment,
in
spite
of
commissioner
Myers
creative
interpretation
of
how
it's
not
out
of
scope,
the
the
build
form
rules
where
overhauled,
through
a
wholesale,
resulting
study
like
this
one
adopted
two
years
ago,
the
corridor
six
policy
language
in
Minneapolis
2040
refers
to
Redevelopment
happening
on
moderate
to
larger
Lots,
which
is
generally
what
we
see
for
six
story
or
more
buildings.
F
It's
absolutely
true
that
it
would
be
extremely
difficult
to
build
a
six-story
building
on
a
40-foot
wide
lot
in
a
in
a
U.N
District
that
that's.
That
is
indeed
the
case
because
of
setbacks.
I
think
some
of
the
information
that
we
had
seen
as
part
of
this
argument
suggested
that
floor
Heights
in
a
residential
building
would
be
taller
than
they
actually
are,
which
maybe
exaggerated
the
effect
of
of
those
setbacks,
but
yeah.
F
AA
AI
E
Mission
Campbell
I'm
just
trying
to
to
an
earlier
point
that
was
made
I'm
trying
to
visualize
this
happening
so
I'm
thinking
about
like
48th
in
Columbus,
where
there's
a
it's
a
adjacent
to
a
goods
and
services,
Corridor,
there's
a
single
family
home
on
a
corner
on
a
you
know,
5
000
square
foot
lot
or
whatever
than
the
number
is,
and
what
we're
saying.
E
Instead
of
having
that
property
be
set
back
similar
to
properties
on
the
Block
that
this
property,
based
on
what
is
being
presented
here,
could
go
nearly
up
to
the
the
the
sidewalk
line.
Is
that
correct?
Is
that
what
we're
changing
here,
I'm
trying
to
trying
to
visualize
what
the
how
this
will
actually
happen
like?
What
would
what
would
this
mean
in
practice
for
a
developer
or
someone
who
wants
to
build
a
six-story
home
in
a
U.N,
neighborhood
yeah
or
whatever
the
permissible
zoning?
Is
commissioner,.
N
Meyer
I
I
think
a
map
could
be
helpful
to
display
you
know
the
CM
and
un
and
RM
areas.
If
we
can
pull
that
map
up
again,
I
have
no
idea
which
one
the
site
that
you
I'm.
E
Just
I'm
trying
to
what
I'm
trying
to
understand
is
what
would
be
the
Practical
implication
of
this?
What
would
it
mean
in
neighborhoods?
Would
it
mean
that,
instead
of
being
set
back
to
25
feet
or
whatever
it
is,
that
is
currently
in
the
overlay
code,
it
would
move
up
to
15
in
the
front
eight
on
the
side,
five
in
the
rear,
so
that
it
could
butt
up
to
those
different
parts
of
the
property?
N
A
E
AA
C
AA
AI
Thank
you.
I
would
like
to
bring
back
up
unless
anybody
else
has
any
other
amendments.
Oh,
we
still
have
the
main
motion
just.
M
D
A
AJ
A
Thank
you
proposal's
been
forwarded
in
second,
any
discussion.
AI
Yeah
thanks
so
I
just
want
to
I
I,
guess
I
I'm
curious
to
ask
so
we've
talked
a
lot
about
how
we
got
here
and
I
know.
We
have
more
work
to
do,
but
I
just
want
to
I
I'm
wondering
when
I
hope
it's
not
20
years
until
we,
you
know,
take
a
comprehensive
evaluation
of
our
zoning
code
again
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
what
that
plan
is
generally
speaking,
is
it
in
five
years,
ten
years
when
we
do
the
next
comp
plan.
AN
Commissioner
Baxley
Mr
helpers
thanks
for
the
question,
so
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
came
out
of
this
process.
Let
me
discussed
with
you
a
bit
at
our.
Some
of
our
work
sessions
is
just
based
on
the
the
amount
of
public
feedback.
There
were
a
lot
of
items
that
I
think
we
thought
were
valuable
and
maybe
just
weren't
within
the
scope
of
this
particular
project
or
required
some
additional
review
across
departments
I
think
one
of
those
was
pertaining
to
the
environmental
justice
piece.
AN
There's
some
model
examples
of
ordinances
and
other
states
that
we've
looked
at
really
closely
that
we
think
could
have
some
applicability,
but
there
isn't
like
a
a
one-to-one
process
where
you
can
just
pick
up
an
ordinance
from
one
place
and
state
and
and
put
it
down
here,
and
so
one
of
the
suggestions
and
things
we've
been
working
with
our
health
department
folks,
is
having
them
lead
a
study
that
could
help
understand
how
we
can
have
a
more
nuanced
approach
to
some
of
these
items
and
likely
that
will
have
a
land
use
overlay
because
that's
when
projects
come
to
us,
but
we
also
recognize
that
we
have
some
really
amazing
expertise
in
our
health
department
that
that
is
not
expertise
that
the
planning
department
has
that
we
could
work
together
on,
and
so
that's
I
think
something
that's
a
goal.
AN
One
of
the
things
that
we
did
was
kind
of
based
off
of
the
public
input
and
things
that
we
we
couldn't
quite
fit
within.
The
scope
is
put
together
a
list
of
priority
items
that
we
think
the
code
development
team
should
be
working
on
over
the
next.
You
know
18
to
24
months.
It's
a
fairly
lengthy
list.
It's
in
your
packet.
We
identified
it.
AN
We
wanted
to
be
transparent
about
the
work
that
the
co-development
team
was
going
to
continue
working
on,
we've
met
with
the
mayor's
office
on
this
particular
list,
and
so
we're
confident
that
these
are
priorities
that
are
shared
by
the
mayor
and
things
that
we
want
to
continue
to
work
on
moving
forward.
So
some
of
those
things
are
things
like
the
Cannabis
piece
and
some
of
the
building
materials
and
there's
some,
you
know,
items
that
that
we
know
are
coming
up,
but
there's
also
things
like
doing
an
equity
audit
on
our
zoning
code.
AN
But
then
also
what
the
regulations
are
that
we
would
use
to
evaluate
things
like
developing
some
curriculum
that
could
help
us
go
out
into
to
community
and
work
with
neighborhood
groups
to
really
educate
and
focus
on
how
to
better,
engage
with
zoning
and
how
to
understand
and
where
to
plug
into
the
process
and
provide
input.
Philadelphia
has
a
really
fantastic
bottle
of
a
Citizens
Academy
that
they
do
that's
specifically
around
planning
and
development
that
that
we
would
like
to
model
that
off
of
so
in
your
packet.
AN
AN
But
we
do
recognize
that
right,
and
so
we
wanted
to
gear
that
up
and
to
the
point
about
you
know,
we
did
work
through
a
process
with
the
mayor's
office,
where
the
Planning
Commission
can
make
recommendations
to
the
mayor's
office
on
how
to
prioritize
those
items
and
also,
if
there's
additional
items
that
aren't
on
there,
that
you
would
want
us
to
take
a
look
at
and
they
are
expecting
that
letter
so
I
think
that's
not
out
of
order.
AI
K
AN
Commissioner
Baxley
commissioner
marwa
so
I
mean
I.
Think
you
know
that's
a
that's
a
really
good
point
and
I
think
a
really
good
question.
So
traditionally
right
you
go
through
a
conference
of
a
plan,
amendment
process
and
out
of
that
process.
There
are
changes
to
the
zoning
code
that
are
required,
and
so
that
becomes
an
implementation
strategy,
and
so
the
zoning
code
should
be
getting
a
fairly
comprehensive
look
every
10
years
through
that
cycle.
AN
But
that
being
said,
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
is
really
a
strong
value
that
that
I
have
and
I'm
finding
support
for
within
our
cped
leadership
and
the
mayor's
office
is
that
the
zoning
code
really
ought
to
be
a
living
breathing
document.
This
shouldn't
be
something
we're
looking
at
just
once
every
10
years.
AN
It
should
be
responding
to
the
changing
needs
of
the
market
and
Community
as
we
go
forward,
and
so
one
of
the
things
we've
done
is
created
this
code,
development
team
and
they're,
not
they're,
not
done
right
with
this
land
use
resulting
study.
That
team
is
going
to
continue
to
exist
and
will
continually
be
bringing
zoning
code
amendments
forward,
so
I
I
would
say
it.
You
all
should
think
of
it
as
a
as
a
living
document.
AN
We
should
be
doing
continual
work
on
it
and
then
probably
at
least
once
every
10
years
as
part
of
our
comprehensive
plan,
amendment
process
doing
a
comprehensive
evaluation
and
making
sure
that
that
it's
in
alignment
with
our
policies,
so
it's
kind
of
a
both
and
but
it
shouldn't
be.
It
should
certainly
not
be
20
years
that
that
will
not
be
something
that
that
we'll
be
doing
moving
forward,
because.
A
K
A
Very
much,
but
there
is
I
I
appreciate
the
living
breathing
document.
I.
Imagine
if
we're
doing
Equity
audits
or
things
that
sort
of
come
out
of
those
things
that
those
also
could
be
grounds
for
proposing
amendments
and
and
sort
of
pushing
things
forward.
So
it's
not
I
understand.
A
We
don't
want
to
be
doing
amendments
every
year,
but
I
think
for
because
clearly
there's
some
some
big
issues
out
there
that
need
to
be
resolved
and
that
the
city
and
the
planning
staff
would
remain
open
to
kind
of
hearing
and
understanding
those
things
and
making
sure
that
if
there
are
things
that
are
out
of
some
cycle
of
not
doing
things
every
year
that
those
would
be
heard
and
sort
of
pushed
forward.
So
I,
commissioner
Myer.
N
Just
wanted
to
quickly
thank
everyone
for
all
the
work
that
we
did
tonight.
I
feel
that
you
know
even
for
some
of
the
amendments
that
we
did
not
pass.
N
We
still
had
some
really
useful
discussion
around
them
and
can
carry
on
some
of
those
subjects
going
forward,
and
so,
as
I
mentioned,
I
I
do
want
to
pursue
a
comp
plan,
Amendment
still
on
more
permissive
use
of
corner
lots,
and
also
you
know
if
it's
deemed,
if
it
out
of
scope
for
the
setbacks,
I'd
like
to
revisit
that
issue
in
whichever
form
it
would
be
in
scope,
I,
don't
know
if
that
needs
a
compound
amendment,
I,
don't
I'm,
not
sure
if
it
would
I
hope
not,
but
if
that's
what
it
takes,
I
do
think
we
we
do
have
some
real
problems
with
the
way
the
setbacks
are
done,
and
that
could
lead
to
some
absurd
outcomes
that
I
really
think
we
should
fix.
A
It
commission,
commissioner,
oh
sorry,
you're
done
all
right.
Are
we
so
we
have
had
a
motion
on
the
table
and
it's
been
seconded?
Yes,
second,
yet
we
have
been
seconded
the
last,
which
motion
just
a
second
I.
A
Approved
staff
findings
and
amendments
that
all
right.
Second,
any
further
discussion:
let's.
AH
D
A
Motion
carries
thank
you
all
for
your
time
this
evening
and
I'm.
Sorry.
It
took
so
long,
but
these
are
excuse
me.
Oh
sorry,
oh
gosh,
we
have
sorry
Becky.
Let's,
commissioner
Alper
thank.
V
And
so.
AI
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
for
your
time
sincerely
and
let
us
I
I
hope
we
can
take
this
up.
So
do
you
need
me
to
re-read
it.
AI
Okay
and
a
question
that
I
have
is,
as
as
we
think
about
it,
is
how
we
can
give
it
teeth
like.
How
are
we
going
to
make
sure
that
this
happens,
and
it's
not
just
a
letter.
AI
AI
The
Planning
Commission
president
shall
write
a
letter
to
the
mayor,
requesting
that
the
mayor
issue,
a
staff
direction
to
cped
and
Health
Department
staff,
directing
staff
to
study
and
develop
potential
amendments
to
create
an
environmental
justice
checklist
for
use
in
the
evaluation
of
potential
future
moderate
and
high
impact
production
and
processing
uses,
as
well
as
potential
amendments
to
the
criteria
for
evaluating
applications
for
expansions
and
alterations
of
non-conforming
uses
in
order
to
prevent
increases
in
off-site
and
public
health
impacts
from
non-conforming
production
and
processing
uses
by
October
31st
2023..
E
I
I
feel
like
that
is
as
a
non-elected
I
I.
Don't
know
that
I
have
the
ability
to
take
a
political
position
to
direct
the
mayor's
office
and
the
mayor's
staff
and
City
staff
to
to
do
this,
and
so
I
I'm
on
I
feel
uneasy
voting
in
favor
of
something
that
feels
like
a
political
position
when
I
don't
have
an
election
certificate
to
do
that.
AI
Yes,
I
would
like
to
respond
to
that,
because,
when
I
looked
through
the
725
pages
of
public
comment,
ish
725-ish
pages
I
did
notice
a
few
letters
from
different
at
least
one
committee
I
think
was
the
food
homegrown
Minneapolis
food
Council
in
there,
so
I
mean
committees,
definitely
do
take
positions
on
things
or
commissions,
or
bodies
of
unelected
and
elected
I
mean
it's
totally
true.
He
does
he
does.
AI
Just
really
would
like
to
express
my
gratitude
to
to
planning
staff
for
for
putting
this
together
for
community
members
for
pushing
this
I
realize
it's
not
it's
not
what
you
hoped
for
and
I
I
know
that
and
but
I
think
it's
the
part
of
an
ongoing
discussion
and
I.
Don't
think
we're
we're.
Definitely
not
solving
everything
tonight
at
8
21
on
the
Planning
Commission.
If
anything
we
solve,
we
solve
very
little
here
I
and
in
one
go
you
know,
the
process
of
democracy
is
hard
and
it's
slow
and
it's
full
of
pitfalls.
AI
But
I
think
this
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction
and
it
it
it
in
some
ways
does
more
than
what
any
individual
Amendment
would
have
done
tonight.
I
think
I
mean
and
I
hope
that
my
fellow
commissioner
on
this
Council
of
commission
I
hope
that
commissioner
slash
city
council,
member
Koski,
that
you
would
push
for
this.
Also
in
your
role
with
the
council
in
your
work
with
the
mayor
and
I,
would
just
I
would
hope
that
staff
would
push
for
this
too.
A
AJ
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair
I,
think
it's
perfectly
appropriate
for
this
body
to
express
its
opinion
to
the
mayor
and
to
make
a
request
of
the
mayor.
We're
not
directing
anybody
we're
asking
the
mayor
to
to
direct
his
staff
and
other
City's
death.
I.
Think
that's
fine!
He
can
choose
to
ignore
us.
He
can
choose
to
be
impressed
by
us,
but
that's
up
to
him.
AM
Thank
you,
chair
Bexley.
What
I
can
say
is
that
I
understand
the
points
being
made
about
the
the
process
and
us
being
able
to
give
a
recommendation.
So
I
am
willing,
as
a
elected
council
member,
to
work
with
our
city
staff
and
we
do
have
a
formal
process,
which
is
a
legislative
directive
that
does
have
more
teeth
to
it.
So
I'm
happy
to
continue
this
conversation
and
work
with
my
fellow
council
members
and
staff
on
how
we
can
move
it
forward
as
well.
So
thank.
A
F
Just
to
add
the
the
ordinance
that
you
just
adopted
does
refer
to
the
Planning
Commission
initiating
zoning
code,
amendments
and
I
I.
Think
the
letter
envisioned
by
commissioner
Alper
and
as
noted
by
commissioner
Ford
is,
is
completely
consistent
with
what
that
envisions.
As
the
Planning
Commission
in
initiating
an
amendment.
N
Yeah
I
I
was
going
to
say
something
similar
that
you
know
when
you
read
the
description
of
the
Planning
Commission
in
the
charter,
like
it
envisions
us
making
recommendations
and
I
think
we
should
step
more
into
that
role
like
I
think
this
is
a
very
appropriate
thing
to
do,
and
we
should
do
it
more
often.
A
Appreciate
it
I'm
just
wondering
president
Olson
who's,
not
here
she's
got
to
write
this
letter
now,
she's.
K
A
A
D
N
A
Passes.
Thank
you
all
right.
That
concludes
all
of
our
public
hearing
items.
Are
there
any
announcements
from
staff.
AL
Just
to
give
one
update
the
biz
committee
last
week
heard
the
appeal
for
2725
University
Avenue.
That
was
the
seven
story.
Building
for
the
height
requirement
or
minimum
height
requirement
excuse
me
was
10..
The
appeal
was
denied,
so
your
actions
were
upheld
in
that
meeting
and
just
a
reminder
that
this
Thursday
we
have
the
Planning
Commission
Retreat
here
in
this
room
at
4,
30.
AK
I
K
M
AK
So
no
no
update.
Yet
it's
it's
going
back
to
district
court
on
the
issue
of
the
injunction
and
we
don't
know
what
the
judge
has
in
store.
Yet
there's
the
potential
for
remediation
between
the
parties
which
he
had
talked
about
before
The
Supreme
Court
denied
the
petition
for
review,
so
nothing
update.
There's
no
injunction
in
place
you're
free
to
implement,
as
you
are
doing
today,
and
on
a
project
by
project
basis,
unless
or
until
otherwise
something
happens.
Thank.
M
A
Thank
you
very
much
with
that
I
believe
we've
completed
all
the
items
in
the
agenda
for
this
meeting.
If
not
and
without
objection,
I
will
declare
this
meeting
adjourned.
Our
next
Planning
Commission
regular
meeting
will
be
Monday.
May
8th
our
committee
to
the
whole
will
be
this
Thursday
April
27th.
Thank
you.
Everybody.
