We have received several proposals to consider heliports in and outside of downtown. However, our current zoning code is relatively silent on the issue and does not provide the City with adequate means of making decisions about location and design. Also the Metropolitan Council is initiating a year long regional heliport study which will have implications for local control of these uses. I have directed Al Lovejoy and the Planning Division staff to begin immediately to research what other cities have done on the issue to participate in the Met Council study, and to prepare appropriate zoning code modifications to better address the situation. We will keep you apprised of the status of our study, assuming that you approve of this approach. Sincerely, �'.
