Item 5 <br /> Date Application Received: 2/21/17 0�> <br /> Date Application Considered as Complete:2/27/17 `VO <br /> 60-Day Review Period Expires: 4/28/17 <br /> To: Chair Thiesse and Planning Commission Members ti o <br /> Doug Reeder, Interim City Administrator 1kEsH0 <br /> From: Mike Gaffron, Senior Planner <br /> Date: March 20, 2017 <br /> Subject: #17-3911, Lakewest, LLC, 3245 Wayzata Boulevard <br /> - Text Amendment—Allow Interim/Temporary Uses <br /> - Public Hearing <br /> Application Summary: The applicants have submitted an application(#17-3910)requesting a <br /> permit for temporary use of the property at 3245 Wayzata Boulevard for staging of construction <br /> activities associated with the County Road 112 (Wayzata Blvd.) Improvement Project expected <br /> to begin in 2017. Because construction staging is not an allowed use in any Orono zoning district <br /> and is not a permanent use, the only functional method for approving it is via an Interim Use <br /> Permit. The zoning code currently does not contain provisions for Interim Uses. The applicants <br /> are requesting in this application that the City amend the zoning code in order to allow Interim <br /> Uses. <br /> Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends that Planning Commission <br /> discuss the "Interim Use" concept generally. Staff recommends adoption of an Interim Use <br /> ordinance similar to that in the attached examples. If Planning Commission concludes that the <br /> proposed temporary use for 3245 Wayzata Boulevard has merit, then staff would also <br /> recommend adoption of a text amendment to the RR-1B District establishing a (very short) list <br /> of allowed Interim Uses, including staging of construction activities subject to appropriate <br /> conditions. <br /> List of Exhibits <br /> Exhibit A.
