DISCUSSION
a. Zoning Code Update Review and Discussion
HKGi consultants provided an update to the Planning Commission of details for the zoning
code update.
The following items were discussed; the transition of applying the zoning code update after
it's effective date of adoption. The need to define abutting versus adjacent within the zoning
code as it pertains to a property's location in relation to the Right-of-Way (ROW). HKGi
consultants presented corrected language of the Mississippi River Critical Corridor Area
(MRCCA) and addressed concerns regarding mobile food units. Consultants also
demonstrated changes to the Planned Unit Development (PUD) minimum acreage and the
condition for a public meeting to be held prior to a Public Hearing. Commissioners and HKGi
discussed the difference between the current and updated requirements for landscaping in
which any deviation requires approval by the City Council and the Home Owners' Association
(HOA). Additional areas of discussion include: the language addressing dynamic and
temporary signs, parking requirements for zoning districts, and the implementation of user-
friendly tables within the update for district uses, dimensional standards, principal uses, and
accessory uses. Commissioners requested that side yard setbacks be changed from 10 feet to
7.5 feet in order to be consistent with what's currently being approved in the R-1 and R-2
districts within Rosemount.
The next steps will be for HKGi to incorporate updates from this work session to prepare a
public hearing draft ordinance, proceed with a public hearing, and present the final code and
adoption through the City Council.
