d. The Orono Citv Council shall reserve the rieht to a periodic review of the conditional use permit, to be determined bv the Citv Council. e. Use shall be subject to all other provisions of the Municipal Code. If the Planning Commission recommends approval of a code amendment to permit the use in the LR- 1 C zoning district, it would be appropriate to add “County Buildings or Facilities” to the definitions section of the Municipal Code. Section 10.02 would be amended to include ISfaV “Countv Buildmcs or Facilities” - Countv buildings or facilities shall include only those structures or facilities owned and operated bv Hennepin Countv. The Orono Code permits non-conforming uses that were actually and legally devoted to a non- conforming use to continue operation. The Code does, however, not permit the non-conforming use to be changed to another non-conforming use and/or expand the non-conforming use. Whenever a lawful non-conforming use of a structure or land is discontinued and remains discontinued for a period of 12 months, any future use of structures or land shall be in conformity with the Zoning Chapter. It appears ti e non-conforming use, as proposed, would actually be less intense than the use that exists because the number of salt/sand deliveries will be reduced by 60 trips annually and the salt/sand mix and storage would be relocated indoors. The operation being indoors would also result in less noise. Rezoning the Property If the code would be amended to include the Count>* facility as a permitted or conditional use in the I, Industrial district the property would also be subject to all permitted and conditional uses in the I district. The property is located in a primarily residential area that would not be compatible with many of the uses that are allowed in the Industrial district.
