City Administrator- Long Term Strategy�%�'" <br /> Date: February 14,2011 <br /> Subject: #11- 3500 City of Orono -Zoning Code Amendment: Regulation of Boat Clubs <br /> Zoning District: B-2 Lakeshore Business District . <br /> - . Summary: "Boat clubs" are a conditional use in the B-2 District. The issue presented for <br /> discussion and recommendation is esta.blishment of a parking requirement for the boat club use - <br /> how much parking is needed, and how parking for the boat club operation relates to the marina <br /> business to which it is typica.11y ancillary. The B-2 standards do not specify a numerical parking <br /> requirement for boat clubs. Staff is proposing to add a numerical parking requirement to the <br /> standards. <br /> Staff Recommendation: Consider the information provided, take input from stakeholders, and <br /> make a recommendation on the proposed amendment to establish a numerical parking standard <br /> for boat clubs. � <br /> Exhibits <br /> A- Planning Commission Minutes 12/15/93, 1/5/94, 2/23/94 - <br /> �°'`�' � B - B-2 District Zoning Code Provisions - Sections 78-661 thru 78-678 - <br /> C -Marina Licensing Standards -Municipal Code Sections 94-71 thru 94-101 <br /> D - Section 78-916 - Conditional Use Permit Standards <br /> E-Draft Ordinance Amendment for Discussion <br /> .

All are zoned B-2 Lakeshore <br /> Business District. They comprise approximately 0.7 mile or 2% of Orono's 40.4 miles of Lake <br /> Minnetonka shoreline (the remainder being 13%in public parks and right-of-ways, and 85% in <br /> private residences). The marinas share a number of characteristics that make them unique as <br /> compared to most other lakeshore uses: <br /> - They provide a service to residents and non-residents of Orono by providing Lake <br /> Minnetonka access for people who don't own lakeshore, via a number of inethods including <br /> slip rental,boat rental, on-demand storage/launching(dry-stack), and boat clubs. <br /> - They provide ancillary services locally for lakeshore and non-lakeshore owners such as boat <br /> repair, seasonal in-out services and winter storage, and boat&marine merchandise sales. <br /> - They have historically been granted development rights far surpassing those normally <br /> � granted by Orono to residential owners, because they are an integxal element of the provision <br /> of public accessibility to Lake Minnetonka. This is manifested most visibly in past vaziances <br /> for hardcover and lake setbacks for structures. —' • <br /> - Each marina has a set number of boat slips that has been established for many years through <br /> City actions and LMCD regulations. Orono's minimum parking requirements for marinas <br /> are in part related to the number of boat slips. � <br /> , � <br />
