L 5 “ To;Chair Steve Peterson and Orono Planning Commission Members Ron Moorse, City Administrator From: Date: Subject: Michael P. GafiEron, Assistant Planning & Zoning Administrator January 11, 1996 Proposed Zoning Code Amendment - Section 10.20, Subd. 3 - Conditional Uses in Residential Zones Summary Planning Commission is requested to consider the compatibility and suitability of specific conditional uses as to their potential impact upon adjacent single family residential zoning districts Planning Commission is also asked to determine if there is a need to provide additional performance standards or to eliminate specific uses in order to protect and ensure the integrity of all residential districts of the City. Some of the conditional uses to be reviewed include tennis clubs, public swimming pools, greenhouses, ski slides, archery ranges, scout camps, YMCA and YWCA camps, etc. Additionally, it is proposed that Section 10.20, Subd. 3 (A) which defines the conditional use minimum standards for schools, be amended to list the accessory uses associated with a school use such as enclosed and open ice arenas, game fields, playgrounds, tennis courts, etc. Planning Commission should consider whether there is a need to develop reasonable setback standards, screening requirements, location and proximity to principle use, etc. for the school conditional use. List of Exhibits A - Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.20, Subd. 3 Other Residential Zoning Districts Refer to R-IA Standards In the Zoning Code, all of the residential zoning districts use the R-IA conditional use standards in Section 10.20, Subd. 3. While most of those listed conditional uses in Section 10.20, Subd. 3 apply to al' districts, some districts add or delete specific uses. The conditional use sections specifically proposed to be reviewed at this time include the listings for "C. Clubs, Camps, etc."; "E. Greenhouses"; and "F. Recreation Areas". If*
