Zoning Text Amendment for Lot Coverage Standards in the General Industrial District CITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 7, 1996 AGENDA ITEM: Zoning Text Amendment for lot AGENDA SECTION: coverage standards in the General New Business Industrial District PREPARED BY: Rick Pearson, Assistant Planner AGENDA RBA # b G ATTACHMENTS: Draft Amendment and PC minutes (4- APPROVED BY: 23-96) This amendment is being proposed to change the lot coverage standard in the General Industrial (IG) District and bring it into consistency with similar Commercial and Business Park standards. The maximum lot coverage in the IG district is 50% which includes all buildings and paved surfaces. This is a seemingly excessive restriction that requires twice as much land for establishment of an industrial use than that which would be occupied by buildings, driveways and parking. Outdoor storage should also be included as considered impervious surface. The standard makes sense in the Pine Bend area where no storm sewer is available and all storm water must be managed on site with easements and ponds. However, IG land is now available within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area and the availability of storm sewer for storm water runoff management should bring those portions of the IG District (in the MUSA) in line with the Commercial and Business Park districts that allow 75% lot coverage. The storm water management study that is being prepared by the engineering consultant is using the 75% standard for future sewer service areas. As well, the amendment will provide ability for non-sewered IG uses to have up to 75% coverage if site design can accommodate and manage storm water run off on site. On March 12 and April 23, 1996, the Planning Commission discussed the amendment and passed a motion to recommend approval as revised.
