DATEr September 21, 1993
SUBJ: Extension of Permit Time for Adventure Zone & Splatball
The current permits issued to Adventure Zone and Splatbail are
effective until October 1, 1993.
Normally these businesses operate until gun deer hunting season.
I have xeceived a request to allow them to operate through
Octaber.
Even if Council approves the Interim Use Permit process, it is
not feasible that these two businesses will be able to get their
IUP for this year.
Therefore, I am recommending that Council allow them to operate
under the °old" permitting process by making the following
motion:

B-33, HEARING NOTICE, REVIEW
On September 14, 1993, the Planning Commission recommended th planning
staff forward Zoning Text Amendments to the City Council .for Public Hearing
concerning commercial outdoor recreation.
The Text Amendment was requested by ogerators of "Paintball Games" in
eastern Rosemount in the Agriculture and General Industrial Districts.
The reguest originated when one of the operations inquired about expanding
the Paintball business to year-round event scheduling.
The uses are viewed as temporary given the need for natural, generally
. wooded areas for gaming purposes. As a result, the uses will be
administered with Interim Use Permits (IUP' s) with some flexibility
regarding some site improvement issues.
The Planning Commission directed� planning staff to develop �flexibility for
the uses without setting undesirable precedents for other uses in any
district. Ordinance B-33 accomplishes the objective with findings added to
the standards for Interim Use Permits.
RECONIl�tFsNDED ACTION: Motion to adopt Ordinance B-� for Commercial
Outdoor Recreation interim uses in the Agriculture and General
Industrial Districts.

Planniug Commission
REGvr..ait IVIEETING MnvUz'ES - AUGUST 24, 1993
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the Regular Meeting of the Planning Commission was
duly held on Tuesday, August 24, 1993 at 5:00 p.m. Chairperson Busho called the meeting to
order with members Baago and Ingram present. Also present was Director of Planning Lisa
Freese and Assistant Planner Rick Pearson.
Action on the August 10, 1993 Regular Meeting Minutes was deferred to the next Planning
Commission Meeti.ng. Also, Agenda Item No. 3. Director's Announcements was moved to the
end of this meeting's agenda.
Assistant Planner Rick Pearson reviewed a draft zoning ordinance text amendment for the
permitting and regulating of commercial outdoor recreational uses in the IG General Industrial
and AG Agricultural Districts. The ability to authorize modifications to the performance
standards would be accomplished by amending the Interim Use Permit (ILTP) portion of the ,
zoning ordinance establishing "fmdings" that support and justify variances.
MOTION by Baago to recommend to City Council approval of the Interim Use Permit text
amendments relati.ng to commercial outdoor recreation uses in the Agriculture and General
Industrial Districts. Second by Busho. Ayes: Busho, Baago, Ingram. Nays: 0.
M01'ION by Busho to recommend tha:t City Council set a date for a public heari.ng to hear
testimony regarding these amendments at 5:00 p.m. on September 21, 1993. Second by Baago.
Ayes: Baago, Ingiam, Busho. Nays: 0.
Assistant Planner Rick Pearson described for the Commission a draft ordinance text amendment
which would allow golf courses to become a permitted use in the Public/Quasi-Public (PUB)
District with development standards. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments had previously
denied a variance request from Mr. R.ay Rahn to construct an oversized accessory structure on
his property located at 3855 145th Street East. The rationale for the negative decision was due
to the golf course being a legal nonconforming use in the AG Agriculture District. As an
alternative solution that would permit Mr. Rahn to construct his building, the Planning
Commission initiated a rezoning petition to rezone the subject properry from Agriculture to
Public/Quasi-Public and to develop performance and aesthetic criteria for structures similar to
the commercial districts.
MOTION by Ingram to recommend to City Council adoption of an amendment to the zoning
ordinance to rezone the Rich Valley Golf Course property from AG Agriculture to PUB
Public/Quasi-Public; and, further, an ordinance text amendment identifying golf courses as a
permitted use in the Public/Quasi-Public District. Second by Busho. Ayes: Ingram, Busho,
Baago.
Director of Planning Lisa Freese advised that draft Zoning Ordinance Amendment B-30 failed
to obtain the required four-fifths (4/5) vote from City Council which is requisite for adoption of
an amendment to the zoning ordinance. The primary issue identified by Council was whether
or not the recommended setbacks from roadways, pipelines, and railr4ad tracks; and density
standards for the R-1 District should be imgosed on the CMC Heartland Partners' proposed
development or should they be exempt from these requirements because of their two-year
interest in development of property they own and have purchased within the City.

9. Z'E� AD�'�;NI'[TRE ZONE & SPLATBALL INC. - ZONING TEXT AMENDMFdVZ' FOR
COMMERCIAL OUT�OOR REC�tEA3TON
Northeast of S.T.H. 55
BACgGROUND .
The Adventure�Zone and Splatball Inc. conduct commercial outdoor recreational uses in the
" General Industiial (IG) and Agricultural (AG) Districts north of State Trunk Highway 55. The
Adventure Zone is directly across from U.S.P.C.I. in the IG district, and Splatball Inc. is one
. half mile north of S.T.FI. 55 off.of Fahey Avenue in the AG district. Both uses have been ,
regulated by an annual permit renewed by the City Council. Both are�currently considered non-
conforming uses.
The Adventure Zone would like to operate continuously through out the year, and in order to
expand the use, a joint petition from both operations has been made to request an amendment to
the zoning ordinance to permit paintball uses in the City.
Previously, The Planning Commission discussed three alternative methods of regulating the use:
1) Establish commercial outdoor recrea.tion as a permitted use in one or both the AG and/or
IG Districts;
• 2) Create a conditional use perrnit (CUP) for the use with findings and perfonnance
standards; . . .
� .: 3) Regulate them as interim uses (IUP) with current ordinance mechanisms available as a
. �. • basis for the creation of perFormance standards and a review process.
' , Given the relatively minimal site development (beyond access, parking and event staging), the
Planning Commission recommended that Planning Staff groceed with the third alternative of
creating an interim use permit for the uses.
STANDARDS FOR INTERiM USES
' The.Zoning Ordinance currently permits interim uses based on the following standards:
1) The interim use must be allowed in the zoning district where the property is loca.ted.

2) The interim use must meet or exceed the performance standards set forth in the zoning
ordinance and other applicable City ordinances.�
3) The interim use must comply with the specific standards for the use identified in the _
zoning ordinance, and must comply with all conditions of approval which shall be includerl
in an interim use agreement.
The ordinance specifies that.interim uses terminate upon any of the following events:
1) The date stated on the pemut;
2) Upon violation of the condition(s) under which the permit was issued;
3) Upon change in the City's zoning regulation which renders the use non-conforming.
In addition, the Ciry has the ability to attach conditions to the appmval of a permit to mitigate
anticipated adverse impacts associated with the use, to ensure compliance with the standards of
appmval, to �rotect the value of other property, and to aclueve the goals and objectives of the
comprehensive plan.
CONIlI�RCIAL OITI'DOOR RECREATTON
Commercial Recreation is a use that had been previously permitted in the Agriculture District
prior to the adoption of the new Zoni.ng Ord.inance in 1989. The General Industrial District
permitted public and quasi-public facilities.and services required by the working population; but
not specifically ineluding parks, recreational facilities and golf courses.
DISCUSSION
The uses will have to be become "Uses Permitted by Interim Use Permit - Commercial Outdoor
Recreation" in the applicable zoning district. Golf Courses may remain a non-conforming use,
or the Planning Commission might consider golf courses in conjunction with this amendment.
The implications of ineeting existing performance standards will require that the uses have
access permits by the City, Counry or the Minnesota Department of Transportaxion (Mn/DO'I�
if required; paved driveways and parking lots constructed to City standards; and, adherence to
all applicable building and fire codes..
Mn/DOT has reviewed the information provided by The Adventure Zone and has found the
proposal to be acceptable if condidoned on improving the entry to 32 feet�wide with a minimum
10 foot radius. If the use generates more trips than proposed, Mn/DOT may require additional
turn lanes.
The office trailer located on the Adventure Zone site wi11 have to be brought into conformance
with the Uniform Building Code or removed from the site.
In addition, private sanitary facilities will have to be provided in the form of septic systems and
wells for potable water supply. Currently, portable outhouses are used which would no longer
. be allowed.
