CITY OF SAINT PAUL
INTERDEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 7, 1988
T0: Mayor George Latimer and
City Council Members

FROM: Peggy Reicher . ,�'''�_..,_--�
RE: He ����
liports and Helipads Moratorium
Attached for your consideration are two draft resolutions concerning heliports
and helipads.
The first resolution extends the moratoriwn on issuing permits for heliports
and helipads for one year beyond its current expiration date of October 9,
1988. Section 3 of Ordinance No. 17498 provides for the extension of the
moratorium by resolution for up to eighteen months in the event that Planning
Commission studies and City Council deliberations on appropriate regulations
are not completed prior to the expiration date cited above.
The second resolution continues the option of repealing the moratorium on
heliports and helipads in I-1 districts during the one year moratorium
extension, provided specified steps and conditions are followed. For
instance, if the Condor Corporation's special condition use permit (discussed
below) is approved, this resolution allows the Council to lift the moratorium
in I-1 zoning districts, provides review procedures for any other heliport
permit applications in I-1 districts, and maintains the moratorium in I-2
districts. The City Council adopted such an option for the current moratorium
by Council File 88-1138 on July 18, 1988.
Planning staff has been working on the heliport issue on two fronts.
Staff has participated with the Metropolitan Council in their regional study
of heliports. A preliminary inventory of helicopters and heliports and
forecasts of future operations has been completed. A draft model heliport
ordinance is expected to be completed in November, 1988.
Staff has hired Edwards and Kelcey as its consultant to review Condor
Corporation's special condition use permit application for a heliport at
University and Cleveland The city should gain additional insight into the
issues surrounding heliports from its consultants during this review.
Staff will use the Metropolitan Council studies and insight from the Condor
Corporation review to draft heliport zoning amendments.

At present we anticipate that the schedule for review and action on the
heliport studies to be as follows:
1. Zoning Committee review and action on Condor permit 9/29/88
2. Planning Commission review and action on Condor 10/7/88
permit
3. Zoning Committee review and recommendation on 12/15/88
proposed heliport zoning amendment.
4. Planning Commission sends out proposed heliport 12/23/88
amendment for public review and sets public
hearing date
5. Planning Commission public hearing 2/24/89
6. Zoning Committee review and recommendation 3/2/89
7. Planning Commission final review and recommendation 3/10/89
8. City Council action 4/20/89
Based on the schedule, I believe that an extension of the moratorium and the
option to lift the moratorium in I-1 districts is appropriate.
Please contact Roger Ryan, Extension 3382, if you have any questions.
