Section 5.42, Subd. 1(C) defines the "business of <br /> docking, mooring or storing boats" when use involves three or <br /> more boats belonging to persons other than the owner or occupant <br /> of the property. A "commercial boat dock business" is defined as <br /> the act of providing space for docking, mooring or storing boats <br /> for a fee, and does not specifically limit the definition to <br /> something that is occurring in a commercial zoning district. <br /> "Joint use" is defined as more than two persons joining for <br /> purposes using lake shore property for... docking or mooring of <br /> boats . <br /> The intent of Section 5.42 is to define the licensing procedure <br /> and requirements for marinas in our Lakeshore Commercial (B-2 ) <br /> zoning districts, and for licensing joint uses (typically by <br /> homeowners' associations) in the residential districts. <br /> Zoning Code Sections 10.23, 10.24 and 10.25 list private docks as <br /> an approved accessory use" subject to city code and other <br /> applicable regulations including boat density regulations. <br /> "Private docks" are not defined in the definitions section. <br /> City staff have narrowly interpreted that the above referenced <br /> municipal code sections taken as a group suggest that business <br /> use includes the private property owner renting dock space to an <br /> off-site person or persons, and that private docks are <br /> TELEPHONE-473-7357• FAX-473-0510 <br />
