The present facility was constructed at a time when the property was zoned for <br /> commercial uses. However, that zoning was changed to residential in the early 1970s, thus <br /> making use of this property a legal non-conforming use. Hennepin County has made an <br /> application to the City of Orono requesting a code amendment that would allow a county <br /> maintenance facility to exist in the LR-1C zoning district as a conditional use. The LR-1 C district <br /> permits any conditional use that is permitted in the R-1A zoning district. <br /> • Weinberger indicated the property is presently used for salt/sand storage in the fall and winter <br /> Page 13 <br />
