Date Application Received- 2/21/17 <br />Date Application Considered as Complete: 2/27/17 <br />6D -Day Review Period Expires. 4/28/17 17-3?// <br />To: Chair Thiesse and Planning Commission Members <br />Doug Reeder, Interim City Administrator <br />From: Mike Gaffron, Senior Planner <br />Date: March 20, 2017 <br />Subject: # 17-3 911, Lakewest, LLC, 3245 Wayzata Boulevard <br />Text Amendment — Allow Interim/Ternporary Uses <br />Public Hearing <br />C <br />Item 5 <br />Application Summary: The applicants have submitted an application (#17-3910) requesting a <br />permit for temporary use of the property at 3245 Wayzata Boulevard for staging of construction <br />activities associated with the County Road 112 (Wayzata Blvd.) Improvement Project expected <br />to begin in 2017. Because construction staging is not an allowed use in any Orono zoning district <br />and is not a permanent use, the only fimctional method for approving it is via an Interim Use <br />Permit. The zoning code currently does not contain provisions for Interim Uses. The applicants <br />are requesting in this application that the City amend the zoning code in order to allow Interim <br />Uses. <br />Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends that Planning Commission <br />discuss the "Interim Use" concept generally. Staff recommen s adoption of an Interim Use <br />ordinance similar to that in the attached examples. If Planning Commission concludes that the <br />proposed temporary use for 3245 Wayzata Boulevard has merit, then staff would also <br />recommend adoption of a text amendment to the RR- I B District establishing a (very short) list <br />of allowed Interim Uses, including staging of construction activities subject to appropriate <br />conditions. <br />List of Exhibits <br />Exhibit A, Text Amendment Application & Proposed Use Narrative <br />Exhibit B.
