Dear Council President Tedesco and ��9�mbers of the City Cquncil :
I am transmitting with this letter Zoning Text Amendments Five. Tf�ese
amendments, with the exception of t ose per ai`ni`nq to e an 6reakfast
establishments, were approved by the P1anni:ng Commission on June 8, 1984.
The bed and breakfast amendments were held 6ack by the Planning Commission
for further study.
I strongly support these amendments, and I urge your support as well . I
believe they fulfill their purpose: to simplify Code language and stream-
line procedures; to reflect new technoloc�ies; to address Comprehensive
Plan policies; to incorporate legal opinion; and to clarify the Code's
intent. The amendments also increase the Planninq Commission's discretion
in the determination of appropriate reuse of nonresidential structures and
in the determination of the status of nanconforminq structures and uses.
These amendments provide needed flexibility to the Zoning Code while still
protecting our neiqhborhoods.
I request that you consider these amendments at your earliest convenience.
Zf T can be of any assistance durinq your deliberations, do not hesitate
to ask.
Sincerely
eo ati er

� l. What do the proposed amendments do?
� - Simplify complex Code language: subdivision,
density and setback requirements, bonus parking.
- Reflect new technologies and lifestyles: earth
� sheltered housing, bed and breakfast, free-standing
banks and hot tubs.
� � - Address Comprehensive Plan policies: cluster
��r��� development, reuse of non-residential structures.
- Streamline procedures: lot splits, daycare,
, site plan review.
- Incorporate legal opinion: measurement standards
� for game rooms.
- Clarify the intent of the Code: above ground
� pools, autobody repair, detached garages, signs.

- Require some parking for a change in use; for
__� an expansion of a use; and for outside uses,

2. Who initiated the amendments?
Saint Paul adopted its current Zoning Code
in 1975. Since then changes in construction,

� 1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND Saint Paul adopted its current Zoning Code in 1975.
Since then, changes in construction, the economy, the
� city's population, technology and life styles have demanded
that the Zoning Code be updated periodically to insure
its viability as a regulatory tool. This is the fifth in
La series of updates initiated in 1981.
1.2 PURPOSE AND Text Amendments V are proposed to simplify complex
I SCOPE requirements (subdivision; density and setback formulae);
to reflect new technologies and life styles (earth-sheltered
housing, free standing banks, hot tubs); to address Comp-
rehensive Plan policies (cluster development, reuse of
� non-residential structures); to streamline procedures
(lot splits, day care); to incorporate legal opinion (measurement
standards); to clarify the origina! intent of the Code
� (above-ground pools, autobody repair); and to increase
the discretionary authority of the Planning Commission
(non-conforming structures and uses).
� 1.3 METHODOLOGY The report presents a brief description of the type of
amendment proposed, the proposed language, and a
discussion of the reason for the change. Language to
� be deleted from the Code is dashed through; proposed
new language is underlined.

� 2.0 REVISIONS TO CHAPTER 60: ADOPTION, PURPOSE, DEFINITIONS, DISTRICT USES
� 2.1 Section 60.201 ACCESSORY USE (DEFINITION)
Add antennas.
� New Section (12) Radio and television antennas sub'ect to the re ulations
in 62. .
� 2.2 Section 60.201 ANTENNA, RADIO AND TELEVISION (DEFINITION)
New Section Antenna Radio and Television. A wire or set of wires
� use in transmittin receivin e ectroma netic waves
an inc u in t e su rti� structure• inc u es ut �
is not imite to, amateur.ra io antennas, te evision
antennas, and satellite receiving is es.
� DISCUSSION
The first page of the antenna ordinance (adopted by
� City Council on Apcil 20, 1982) adding regulations for
radio and television antennas was lost in transmittal
� from the Mayor to the Council. These two definitions
wece on that first page; they wece approved by the
Planning Commission.
� 2.3 Section 60.201 AUTO REPAIR (DEFINITiON)
Differentiate between types of auto repair.
� P�oposed Revision Auto repair station. A place where the following services
may be carried out: general auto repair; engine rebuilding;
� rebuilding or reconditioning of motor vehicles. c-e�ks}eF►-

The sale of engine fuels may or may not also be carcied
� on.
2.4 Section 60.201 AUTO BODY SHOP (DEFINITION)
� New Section Auto bod sho . A sho in the business of makin substantiai

or recon itionin o motor ve ic es• co ision service
� suc as o rame, or en er strai tenin an re ir•
overa painting an un ercoating.
� DISCUSSION
The intent of these changes is to differentiate types
� of auto repair in order to relegate general repair to -
B-3 zones and bodywork involving substantial health
and safety hazards to the I-1. The language incocporates
the licensing definition.
�
�
2.5 Section 60.202 BED AND BREAKFAST (DEFINITION)
� Retained by Planning Commission for further study
� 2.6 Section 60.202 BED AND BREAKFAST UNIT (DEFINITION)
Retained by Planning Commission for further study
� 2.7 Section 60.202 BOARDING, ROOMING, OR ROOMING AND BOARDING
HOUSE (DEFINITION)
� Retained by Planning Commission for further study
2.8 Section 60.202 BUILDABLE AREA (DEFINITION)
� Add new definition
� New Section Buildable Area. The maximum s ce as defined b set-
back and lot covera e re uirements n w ich rinci al
� an accessory structu�es may e i t.
DISCUSSION
� This definition is coupled with revised regulations for
accessory structures. It defines the "building envelope":
the portion of the parcel that could be built on given
� setback and lot coverage requirements.
2.9 Section 60.203 CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT (DEFINITION)
� Add new definition
� Cluster develo ment: The arran ement of two or more
attac e , common w , sin e ami units wit no unit
intru ing on t e vertica airspace o any ot er unit.
�
DISCUSSION
� This definition is a companion to Section 60.413 (13).
� 2.10 Section 60.206 FINISHING SHOP (DEFINITION)
Add new definition
� New Section Finishin sho . An business which involves s ra intin
or the a lication of combusti le materials inclu in
urniture inis ing an ca inet ma !ng ut not inc u ing
1 auto o y s ops.
DISCUSSION
� This definition is a companion to listing finishing shops
in the B-3 zone.
�
�;�.- ���, - ,�o�
� 9 SWIMMING POOL (DEFINITION)
2.11 Section 60.21
� Add new definition
New Section Swimmin Pool. .4 00l or tub constructed either above
� or e ow ra e an vin a ca acity o or more
�a ons•
� DISCUSSION
Although they pose the same health, safety, and enjoyment
of adjacent property problems, without a definition af
� swimming pool, above ground pools are exempt from
Zoning Code regulations. This new definition will resolve
that discrepancy and also will allow the City to ticket
� violaters. This definition is consistent with the Uniform
Building Code.
� 2.13 Section 60.412 PRINCIPAL USES PERMITTED
Change group day care to a permitted use
� Proposed Revision (9) Family day care� group family day care3 and group
day care when located in a non-residential structure
ormer occu ie a c urc , sc oo , or simi ar
� aci !tY•
- DISCUSSION
� The single condition attached to group day care is its
location in a non-residential structure - a condition they
either meet or don't meet. This change eliminates the
� need for public hearing by the Planning Commission.

DISCUSSION
� Over the past several years, a number of cases have
involved the conversion of non-residential structures
to residential units and commercial uses. Typically,
� these have been former schools (the Performing Arts
Center) or churches (the Synagogue on Ashland) located
in residential zones. The non-residential structure is
� a problem for at least two reasons: because churches,
schools and other institutional uses are �ermitte�d uses,
even in the single family zones, they cannot qualify for
status as non-conforming permitting a change in non-
� conforming use; and they usually, therefore, require
�
� a rezonin which may be at a substantially hi her density
g g
or even in a commercial category which is incompatible
� with surrounding zoning. Variances and rezonings which
have been approved have been done so on a good faith
basis; in most cases the project is a good one, and the
� Board, Committee, and City Council think it should be
accomodated. There is little debate that sound buildings
should be reused, but spot zonings and variances don't
� appear to be the best methods.
St. Paul's Comprehensive Plan calls for "establishing
criteria for flexible reuse of vacated institutional land:'
� The alternative proposed here provides a method of
special condition use for conversion of existing non-
residential structures located in residential zones. The
� zoning would remain the same, but the "good" project
could be accomodated with specific provisions to protect
the surrounding neighborhood (historic integrity, parking,
� landscaping, density, uses). It would be, in effect, very
much like a Planned Development, but on a smaller scale.
The cases would be heard by the Zoning Committee
ensuring neighborhood input and compliance with the
� Comprehensive Plan.

� DISCUSSION
� Cluster development concentrates the number of allow-
able units on the most buildabte part of the parcel, leaving
the rest open. Cluster permits variation in lot size,
� shape, and orientation without an increase in the overall
density of population or development. It preserves open
space, tree cover, scenery, natural drainage ways, and
outstanding topography, as well as permitting the develop-
� ment of marginal land.
Other advantages of clusters are: it prevents soi! erosion
� by permitting development according to the nature of
the terrain; storm water runoff is reduced since there
is less paved area; it facilitates attractive and economical
� site design; it greatly reduces street and utility lengths
and costs; it allows better use of land and saves energy.
St. Paul's Comprehensive Plan calls for "permitting higher
� density housing in low density residential areas" and
. "criteria and process"; and for "alternatives to detached
single family design". Cluster housing could provide
� that alternative while not increasing the density of an
area or changing the nature of an area.

� DISCUSSION
The original intent of the 1975 Zoning Code was for
� auto repair to be permitted in the B-3 �onl if it were
accessory to new or used car sales. AlI oTier auto repair
was first permitted in the I-1 (Section 60.612(14)). However,
the prevailing interpretation has been that all auto repair
� is a permitted use in the B-3. This interpretation is
inconsistent with other uses within the B-3 and particularly
with our more stringent special conditions for auto service
� stations in the B-3. These changes would make auto
repair a special condition use in the B-3 and a permitted
use in the I-1. (See Section 2.25 of this report.)

public hearing and approval can be eliminated and handled

� The effect of deleting this part of this Section will be
that in the R-2 and R-3, houses can have sideyards two

� Even though construction of several townhouse structures

The front yard setback requirement for OS-1 and B-1

� 4.0 REVISIONS TO CHAP7'ER 62: GENERAL PROVISIONS
� 4.1 Section 62.102 NONCONFORMING LOTS, USES OF LAND, STRUCTURES,
AND USES OF STRUCTURES AND PRE:VIISES
� Clarify effective date of code.
Proposed Revision Subdivision l. Intent. It is the intent of this code to
permit legal nonconforming lots, structuresl, or uses
� existing oR-t��e€�ec-t�e�ate,o��#�i�E�de- on
October 25, l975, ef-arx�e�d�r�e�t�I�er�t�t continue ,�
�ti t ey are removed but not to encourage their surviv�l.
� It is recognized that there exist within the district--established
by this code and subsequent amendments, lots, structures,
and uses of land and structures which were lawfu! before
this code was passed or amended which would be prohibited
� regulated, or restricted under the terms of this code
or future amendments.
� For the purposes of this section, use means the rinci al
ur ose for which land or a buildiri s ein occu ie�
�, use wiii oe presumed leg y nonco orming i�i can
� be demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that
prior to-t�e�€€ee�i�e�da�e-e€-�k�s-sede December 13, 1976
the use was established, converted, or en arge an occu ied
pursuant to building permits issued by the City�o aint
� Paul; or if it can be demonstrated by clear and convincing
evidence that the particular use had been in existence
continuously for twenty years prior to t�e.�€€e�e.#��e
� �a#e-<�€-t�-EOC�e. December 13, 1976. The burden of
proof shall be on the applicant for a permit or certificate
of occupancy as the case may be.
� DISCUSSION
� This change clarifies what "the effective date of the
Code" is.
4.2 Section 62.102 NONCONFORMING USES AND STRUCTURES
� Prohibit non-conforming bodyshops from changing
to other I-1 uses.
� Subdivision 5. Nonconforming uses of Structures and
land.
� New Section (10) Existin auto bod sho s located in zones other
t an in ustri zones s a e consi ere for ur oses

� DISCUSSION
� Section 2.27 of this packet makes autobody shops an
I-1 use. This means that existing ones take on the status
of an I-1 use. Since the intent is to remove these incompatible
� industrial uses from close proximity to residential uses,
some additional safeguard is required.
�
� 4.3 Section 62.102 NONCONFORMING USES AND STRUC"fURES

DISCUSSION
� This change is intended to provide the Planning Com-
mission with some flexibility in dealing with a "good"
and appropriate use which does not meet either of the
� criteria of legal nonconforming status: legally in existence
when the Code was adopted or in continuous existence
for twenty years prior to the adoption of the code. The
� only method the Planning Commission now has for resolving
these problem cases is "spot zoning". "Spot zoning" is
generally regarded as a solution to a particular problem
� but not good long-term zoning or land use policy. This
change would set stringent requirements and findings
in order to grant such legal non-conforming status: ten
years of existence; a 2/3's petition; and off-street parking.
� It would provide the Planning Commission with a means
of perrnitting an additional unit added in the basement
of an apartment building, or a third unit added to a duplex,
� or a four unit building on a lot smaller than 10,000 square
feet. 'The Planning Commission might also add requirements
such as ownership or design as additional safeguards.

� DISCUSSION
1'his change is intended to give the Planning Commission
the flexibility to a11ow for expansion to aileviate some
� of the problems incurred by owners of non-conforming
uses and structures other than rezoning. The requirements
are stringent: the 2/3's petition, proof of accessory
� nature, off-street parking. This change would allow
for such things as the addition of a lunchroom to a non-
conforming use, the addition of a waiting room to a non-
� conforming office, the addition of a garage or laundry
room to an apartment building.
4.5 Section 62.103 PARKING REQUIREMENTS
� Add site plan re uirement
q for paving existing lots.
� Proposed Revision Subd. 2. Site Plan Required. No building permit, except
for one and two family dwellings, shall be issued for
the construction of any new off-street parking facility3
� or the vin of an exist n unim roved lot, unless and
unti t e anning ommission as approve a site plan
for the facility meeting the standards and regulations
contained in this section, Section 62.104 and Section
� 62.108. Site plans for one and two family dwelling units
shall be approved by the zoning administrator.
� DISCUSSION
This change requires site plan review when existing
gravel or dirt lots are paved. Without this requirement,
� these lots are often covered lot line to lot line with
pavement.
� Sections 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8 were taken out of Text Amendments Five and transmitted to the

at least t�ee feet from all interior lot lines.
� DISCUSSION
� This change incorporates and clarifies setback regulations
for accessory buildings previously cited in Section 61.100
Notes to Residential Districts.
� The intent is for accessory buildings to be located primarily
in rear yards, and when lots are located on corners, for
accessory structures to be constructed in line with the
� principal structure.
4.11 Section 62.106 ACCESSORY BUILDINGS
� Clarify intent of Code.

Proposed Re�•��t�:��� (3) �ccessory buildings in any residential area, except
in the R1�1-2 or RLt-3 Multiple-ramily Residential District,
� shall �ot exceed one story a-and 14 feet in height, provided
however, that surh buildings used for the housing of
passenger rnotor vehicles may exceed 14 feet in height
� but shall not exceed 18 feet in height. In an RM-2 or
R�1-3 District, accesso�y buildings or structures �sed
for the housing of motor vehicles or for accessory recreational
� use shall not exceed three stories ar- and 30 feet in height.
DISCUSSION
� This section of the Code has been interpreted to permit
two stories as long as the height of the structure did
not exceed 14 or 18 feet. The intent of the Code was
� to permit onl� one story structures.
4.12 Section 62.106 ACCESSORY BUILDINGS
� Simplify computations for size of accessory structu�es.
Proposed Revision (4) An accessory building may occupy not more than
� �535 percent of a Fe�xfed the rear yard,-��s-4��se�

.Accessory structures shall not exceed the buildable area
� o t e pr�nrlpa str�.icturee
DISCUSSION
� Thi.rty-fi��e percent of the rear yard (both required and
non-required) averages out to about the same as 2596
�.�f the required plus 40�6 of the non-required. Administration
� of the simplified formula justifies any slight difference
in the two.
� Limiting the size of the accessory structure to that of
the ground floor of the main building penalizes owners
of two story houses or very small houses. The paradox
� of the current regulation is that if you expand your house,
you can expand your garage. This change links the accessory
structure to the potential area of the principal structure,
given setback and lot coverage requirements.
� 4.13 Sectian 62.106 ACCESSORY BUILDINGS
� Add rear yard requirements for through lots.
'Vew Section (6) On throu h lots, where fronta e is clearl established
� wit in a iven oc , rear yar set ac s s a e e ua
to t e s� e yar set ac � o t e istrlct ►n w ic ocated.
DISCUSSION
� This change would allow the Zoning Administrator to
determine situations where through lot frontage is clear
� and would permit construction without variances. The
set back equal to the sideyard setback would provide
� open space and increase visibility for traffic and pedestrian
safety and reduce the alley effect on the street abutting
� the rear yard.
4.14 Section 62.106 ACCESSORY BUILDINGS
� l�lew Section (7) Accessor buildin s shall be located at least six feet
rom t e rinci a structure or s a e consi ere attached
or purposes o t e �ing o e.
� DISCUSSION .
� This change addresses two issues: fire walls are required
by the Building Code when accessory structures are cioser
than six feet to the principal structures; and, the intent
of the Code regarding setbacks and lot coverage is being
� circumvented by individuals building garages several
inches or feet away from the principal structure.
� 4.15 Section 62.107 VISUAL SCREENS
Reqture visual screens for garbage dumpsters.
� New Section (9) For multi-family structures with ten or more units,
o ice, commerci , an in ustri uses, ar a e um sters
an tras containers s a e enc o y a v►sua screen.
� DISCUSSION
� Last year, the Planning Commission and City Counci!
amended the Code to include dumpsters as accessory uses
in order to regulate their placement on lots. This change
requires screening to further ameliorate their existence.
� 4.16 Section 62.108 SITE PLAN REVIEW (ALL DISTRICTS)
� Clarify setback requirements for earth-sheltered

� Proposed Revision Subd.S. Review of earth-sheltered structures.

, This exempts some routine, noncontroversial uses from
site plan review.
� 4.18 Section 62.108 SITE PLAN REVIEW (ALL DISTRICTS)

free-standin facilities constructed on ar<in aci ►ties,
� inc u in�, ut not restric�e to, ios s, otomats, an s,
�simiIar uses.
� DISCUSSION
The increasing popularity of free-standing facilities
, constructed on parking lots demands a means of control
to insure that traffic flow, parking, and landscaping
are not adversely affected. This change requires site
plan review for such facilities.
4.19 Section 62.108 SITE PLAN REVIEW (ALL DISTRICTS)
, Establish deadlines for revised plans.
Proposed Revision Subd. 4. Compliance and time requirements. The Planning
Commission may make "r requirements with respect

'�`� >'`' 7�`dministrator may �rant extensions.
`
� -
, t; ` DISCUSSION
, Once applicants are notif ied of required changes to a
site plan, there is no specified deadline for the return
1 of a revised plan--technically, they have forever. Consequently,
over time, requirements may become meaningless given
changes in zoning and land use surrounding the parcel.
� The lack of a deadline has also resulted in a backlog
of unclosed, unresolved cases. This change would induce
applicants to return revised plans in a timely manner,
� would substantially decrease the number of unclosed
files and the staff time required to keep track of them,
and would insure that requirements are meaningful and
� reasonable.
4.20 Section 62.108 SITE PLAN REVIEW
� Establish deadlines for security agreements.
'�
� Proposed Revision Subd. 6. Security Agreement. Before the site plan is
approved, the applicant shall file a performance bond
equal to the estimated cost, as determined by the Planning
� Administrator, to install required landscaping, paving,
screening or items required by special condition. Such
rformance bond shall be secured and filed with tTie

except that fo multifa ��}%developments, the Planning

t�Te�lowing requirements as app icf aGIe:
� DISCUSSION
� This chan e clarifies the intent to re ulate all residential
g g
pools as defined in Section 60.219. Hot tubs present
� the same type of health and safety conce�ns as swimming
pools and should be regulated.
� 4.22 Section 62.114 PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL POOLS
Add conditions for hot tubs.
� New Section (6) All yards containin hot tubs shall be secured as in

DISCUSSION

' S.0 REVISIONS TO CHAPTER 63: GENERAL EXCEPTIONS
� 5.1 Section 63.103 H EIG HT LIM ITS
Add other mechanicals which are routinely found
on roofs.
� Proposed Revision The height limitations of this code shall not apply to
€af�-��r�gs,r mechanical service stacks, tanks,
� ventilation equipment, c imneys, c ure spires, lag
poles, pu�c monuments, accessory radio and television
antennas, and similar equipment, provided, however,
� that the Planning ommission may specify a height limit
for any such structure when such structure requires
authorization as use subject to specia! conditions. (Code
1956, as amended, Section 63.102; f urther amended;
' Ordinance 16906, April 20, 1982.)
DISCUSSION
` The question of inechanical service stacks comes up
occasionally. The practice has been to treat them as
� similar to the uses listed since it would appear to be
the intent of the Code to treat them as such. This change
incorporates that practice. Farm buildings have been
� deleted to reflect the deletion of Farm as a Zoning Code
classification in TA III.
5.2 Section 63.106 PORCHES
, Add instructions for porches.
� Proposed Revision An open, unenclosed, and uncovered porch or paved terrace
fo�on the round floor may project into a front or rear ard
tance not exceeding ten feet, but t is s al not
� be interpreted to include or permit fixed canopies. (Code
1956, as amended Section 63.105.)
DISCUSSION
' The intent of the Code has been circumvented by builders
calling balconies porches.

� Subd.S. Pole Signs
Proposed Revision (2) When specifically permitted in a zoning district,
� a pole sign may extend into a public right-of-way up
to four feet but in no case may come closer than two
feet from the curb line e� and ten feet above the ground
level, provided such sign does not violate Minnesota
� Statutes, Section 160.27.
DISCUSSION
' This is a correction of an obvious error which changes
the intent of the regulations.
, 6.2 Section 66.202 SIGNS
� Exempt ground signs from cumbustible materials
restrictions.
Proposed Revision Subd. 3. Restrictions on cumbustible materials. All
� signs, except ground signs, and sign structures shall have
structural members of noncombustible materials.
' DISCUSSION
Ground signs commonly are used for commercial and
� multifamily identification signs; wood is a common
and attractive matrial used in the construction of these
ground signs. Building officials see no hazard in exempting
ground signs from restrictions on combustible materials.
� 6.3 Section 66.202 STRUCTURAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION (SIGN
ORDINANCE)
' Clarify height provisions of the sign ordinance.
� Proposed Revision Subd. 4. Clearance and Obstruction.
(1) General. All types of signs shall conform to the
clearance and projection requirements of this section,
� and to building height restrictions described in the zoning
code. Except for roof signs permitted by this chapter,
no sign shall project higher than 50 feet above grade
� level, or 25 feet above the surface of the adjacent roadway,
whichever is higher. In the B-4 and B-5 districts, roof
s_i_�n_�s shall not excee eet a ove t e roo of t e uilding
o-w ic ocate .
�
�
C� �� i��% �
�
DISCUSSION
, Since the downtown zones (B-4 and B-5) have no height
limitations, roof signs do not either. This change
� represents the space required for a 14' x 48' sign. (Fire
Code requires 6'-8' for fire safety and the apron/platform
structure requires 3'.)
� 6.4 Section 66.202 STRUCTURAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
Correct error
� Subd. 6 Projecting Signs
� Proposed Revision (2) When specifically permitted in a zoning district,
signs projecting over a public right-of-way may project
up to four feet from the property line, but in no case
' may come closer than two feet from the curb line,er
and ten feet above ground level, and provided such signs
o�not violate Minnesota Statutes 160.27.

This is a correction of an obvious error which changes
' the intent of the regulation.
6.5 Section 66.202 STRUCTURAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION (SIGNS)

' 7.0 REVISIONS TO CHAPT B V SION G
ER 67: SU D! I RE ULATIONS
, 7.1 Section 67.304 LOT SPLITS DESCRIBED
Prohibit lot splits creating nonconforming structures
, and uses.
New Section (6) The division does not result in the creation of a non-
� con orming structure or use.
Renumber
� DISCUSSION
This requirement prevents situations such as an 80 foot
' lot in an R'.1�1-1 zone with a duplex being split into two
40 foot lots, thereby creating a duplex on a nonconforming
lot.
` 7.2 Section 67.304 LOT SPLITS DESCRIBED

� splits.
Subd. 2 EXCEPTIONS

' DISCUSSION
, Our subdivision ordinance requires City Council approval
of all lot splits. �1any of the lot splits staff sees are
simpTe readjustments of a property line: a neighbor
, selling five feet to his neighbor; or an adjustment for
a house built either on adjoining property or too close
to a property line. These cases routinely meet all the
, requirements for lot splits, but still have to go through
the City Council process. This change would still require
that the Planning Administrator review these reorganizations
� of land before they're recorded, but would allow a measure
of discretion in determining which ones are major enough
for City Council review and approval.
�
'
C�j- ����7��
' 73 Section 67.305 APPLICATION (LOT SPLIT)
Clarify application requirements.
1 Proposed Revision Application. Application for approval for lot split shall
be submitted to the planning administrator on forms
, furnished by the Planning Division and shall include a
�fa�i�g-s#ao•w3Rg- the following information: 4 copies
of a Certificate of Survey drawn to an engineeris scale
' i cruding:
(1) Scale and north direction.
' (2) Dimensions of the property.
(3) Names and locations of adjacent streets.
, (4) Locations of existing buildings on and within ��14
25 feet of the subject property.
' (5) Such other information as may be required, such
as a grading plan or contour map, to fully represent
the intent of the lot split or to determine if the lot
, split meets the intent and requirements of this chapter.
DISCUSSION
, A certified survey is required for registration of a lot
split. Building locations within 25 feet are adequate
' to show affected structures.

St. Paul Planning Co�mnission -

St. Paul, Minnesota 55102
Dear Mz. Lanegran:
Tbe Merria�a Park Community Council has reviewed the Zoning Text Amendment's
#Five. Our Council recommends the following changes in. the Amendments: •
- 2.5 Section 60.202 BED AND BREAKFAST (definition) .
Change last sentence to read " Meals must be provided." �
This would confora� to the definition of the term "Bed and Breakfast."
- 2.7 Section 60.202 BOA.RDING,ROOMING OR ROOMING AND BOARDING HOUSE
(definition) .
Chanqe proposed revision to read "BOARDING,ROOMIN�G OR ROOMING AND
BOP,RDING HOUSE. A sin4le or connected structure which requires licensing
as a boardinghouse, rooming house, or rooming and boarding house
under the St. Paul Leqislative Coc3e and which offers rooms to five
or more persons for periods of one week or longet. Meals may or may .
not be provided.'
This proposal is consistent with the Legislative Code for licensing Rooming
and Boarding Houses.
- 2.24 Section 60.534 PRINCIPAL USES PERMI7.°t'ED SUB3ECT TO SPECIAL
CONDITIONS (B-2) .
Change the addition to the last sentence to read: "Measured from the closest
int of the property line in which the use is located to the closest
residential property line". �
This is consistent with other zoning code measurement requirements.
- 4.3 Section 62.102 NONCONFORMING USES AND STRUCTURES.
Change proposed revision to read:"Exception. The Planning Commission may
� grant legal non-conforminq status to uses and structures which fail to
meet the standards of Section 62.102, if, following a public hearing,
the Planninq Commission makes the following findings: (1) the use occura
entirely rithin an existing structure; (2) the use is sfmilar to other
uses permitted within the District; (3) the use is appropriate and is
consistent with the general welfare of the comQaunity and to the enjoyment
of adjacent property; (4) the use has been in continuous existence for a
period of at least ten years prior to the application to the Planning
Coanniasion= (5} the off-etreet parking provides one arkin space for
each dwelling unitp (6) the use is in substantial agreement with the
comprehensive plan and the Distr.ict Plan= omit proposed {71j new (7) the
use meets the s are foot lot requirements permitted within the District;
� • �� �y �7a�'
. Mr. Dave Lanegran, Chairman May 22, 1984
St. Pa�l Planning Commission. ..#2
i
(8) rezoning the property would result in "spot rezoning" or a zone
inappropriate to surrounding land uses; (9} that a petit�ion of two-thirds
of the property owners within 100 feet of the property be obtained
stating support of the use; (10) the structure meets the Build� and Housing
Code requirementsf (11) the structure is owner-occupiedj (12y the
approved use will only be one additional unit above the current clasaifi-
cation; (13) ot.her conditions which the Planning Commission may attach
to insure the public welfare.
The Merriam Park Community Council fvrther recommends that under the discussion
section that the entire sentence "It would provide the Planning Commission with
a means of permitting - - - -" be omitted:
The Merriam Park Community Council is strongly opposed to the legalization of
illegal units without stronq safeguards for the surrounding neighborhood. Our
Council believes the additional findings recommended would ensure the grantinq
of appropriate uses without detriment to the community. The Merriam Park Community
Council specifically recommends the omission of Planning and Economic Develop-
ment's proposed findi.ng (7) regardinq hardship. Our Council believes the finding
is too vague and contrary to State law which dces not allow conversions,
variances, etc. for financia]. hardship. .
- 4.4 Section 62.102 NONCONFORMING USE STRUCTURES. � ,
Add same findings as proposed by the Merriam Park Community
Council for 4.3 Section 62.102.
These are all the recommendations for changes our Council has regarding the Text
Amendments #Five.
Representatives of the Merriam Park Community Council are unable to attend the
May 25th public hearing. Therefore, we request notification of the Planning
Commission Committee meeting in which the amendments will he discussed, to
answer questions or fur er explain our recommendations.

Report of the Zoning and Environment Committee
May 14, 1984
Five individuals have accepted membership on t he Cammittee:
Mr. James E. Barnard, our new Grid 2 Representative;
Mr. William A. Bierman, Jr. , former Chairman of this Com- "
mittee and a member of the Comprehensive Plannina3 Committee;
Mr. George Doty, Committee Chairman and Grid 8 Representative;
DTr. Marc E. Rosenberg; and
Mr. Frank E. Villaume III .
Three of us -- Barnard, Bierman, arid Doty -- �et May 1Q with
Ms. Patricia James, who is with the Zoning Sec tion of the City's
Planning and Economic Development Department. Mr. l�ike Horan,
a Comprehensive Planning Committee member, also joim�d us for
this first meeting of the new Zoning and Environmen� Committee_
� Ms. James brought two specific zoning matters �o ou� attention,
both of them scheduled for public hearings Iater this mon th_
After discussion, it was agreed that as a Comt:iittee a,re caould
not offer comment .on these two matters. For your i��ormation,
however, it can be noted that one of these cases, Zaning File
No. 9550, relates to a site in District 9 (rat her than ours,
District 15) , on a boundary with our District; it �ppears the
apartments proposed f�r this site would not bc visir�'le f�ort any
homes in our District. The other case, Zoning File No. 9�74,
also relates to a site not in our District bu� on a boundary
with ours; no new use of the building, in District 14, is pro-
posed.
With ris. James, we reviewed the Department' s d raft o� its pro-
posed new Zoning Text Amendments, which wiZl be the �ubject of
a public hearing at nine a.m. Friday, May 25, in th� City Kall
Annex Auditorium.
As a Committee, w� have a few minor changes to sugg��t for
these proposed Zoniny-Code amendm��nts:
1. Mr. Bierman suggested that Chapter 60, new S�ction _
6o . 413 , part (12) , be revised to ir.cluc3e the same kind
of petition requirement as is now included iaa Chapter
62 ' s pro��osed new Section 62. 102, which calis far
�
i ^�
' � 'Zoning and Environment Committee / S/14/84 /jr- �'y_f'Q�
U-
� " . . . � a notarized
petition of two-thirds of the property
owners within 100 feet of the property . . . stating sup- -
port of the use . . . " as one of the conditions to be met
if the Planning Commission is to consider granting
legal nonconforming status for continuing an existing
use of an existing structure.
The effect of this sugge�tion, if adopted� would be to
include two-thirds endor�ement by tbe near neighbors as
one of the conditions to be met before a non-residential
structure could be converted from one Code-permitted _
use to another Code-permitted use. '
2. Mr. Horan suggested that the proposed new Section 60 .413�
part (13) , be reworded so that in approved housing-
cluster developments, sharing or partial sharing of com-
mon walls would be al.lowed (not required) for the resi-
dent families' garages, if any, as h�el� as for the houses
themselves.
� 3. In reading Chapter 62 ' s proposed new Section 62.102, we
felt that as it is drafted is does not now rceake. it une-
quivocally clear that all, rather than any orie, of the
conditions described are prerequisites to Planning-Com-
C mission consideration of grantinq legal noncoforming
status.
Our suggestion is that the words "aIl of" be added in
this part, so that it would say "The Planning Commission
may grant legal nonconforming status . _ _ if, following a
public hearing, the Planning Commission makes aZl of the
following findings . . .", and also, for clarity, that the
wor� "aiid" be ad3ed just bei.ore " (i0) vther c�r,�:itions
. . . " . These suggested changes apply to part (lI} .
Overall, we believe the proposed Zoning-Code aznendments are
excellent. �
Issues we expect to be dealing with in the near future incZude
the complex issue of on-sale liquor licenses; we shall be meet-
ing with the Council ' s Executive Committee on this matter.
