That the number of real estate descriptions affected by the amendments renders the obtaining of written consent impractical; 2. That a survey of an area in excess of 40 acres has been made; 3 . That a determination has been made that the proposed amendments to the Zoning Code are related to the overall needs of the community, to existing land use, and to plans for future land use; and 4. That pursuant to State Statutes proper notice of the hearing was given in the Pioneer Press on August 28, September 4, and September il, 1996.

MAKE OFF-STREET PARKING SPACES IN FRONT OR SIDE YARDS ESTABLISHED WITH PERMITS NON-CONFORMING USES Sec.62.102. Nonconforming lots, nonconforming uses of land, nonconforming structures, and nonconforming uses of structures and land. (d) Nonconforming use of land. Nonconforming uses of land are subject to the following provisions: (1) A nonconforming use may continue. (2) A nonconforming use shall not be enlarged to a greater height , nor extended to occupy a greater area of land than was occupied at the effective date of adoption or amendment of this code; (3) A nonconforming use shall not be moved in whole or in part to any other portion of the lot; (4) If such nonconforming use of land ceases for any reason for a period of ninety (90) days or more, any subsequent use of such land shall conform to the regulations specified by this code for the district in which such land is located. This is not intended for those uses which remain on the land but whose activity may cease for a period longer than ninety (90) days , due to reasons associated with the customary operations of such use. (5) Any land on which a nonconforming use is superseded by a permitted use shall thereafter conform to the regulation for the district in which such land is located and the nonconforming use may not thereafter be resumed. >:::>::»::»::>::>::»:«:<.:>:;;_;:.:;:::>:;::.:,:>::::>::>::>:>:;:.::�>::>::>::>::> ::;::;:;.;:,;:;;.:>:>:<:;:<:>::;::>::>:;::;:.::t:;::;:�::>;.;;:.;;;:.;;....:.;:.;:.;:.;:.;:.:;.;.;:.;:.;:.;:.;::.;::;:.;:.;:;�:.;;:.;:.;:.;:.;:.;;:.;::;:.;:.;:.;:.;:.;:.;;;;:.;:.;:.;:;:.;:.;:.:: �i.::::>::>::>::>::>:::.::::: . . : ::::>:.: : : ;:: :: .. : ..: :.::...:::::.. : ;:� :::.;.:..... .:...:. .......:.;;.. .........;::.....;::..::...:..:....:... �i�i.:�s�l�����.:z�:�€a :::�z�������::>:�?c�:;��s�a€�: •<:��::::�t:��t:;::.. �� :::: �.�::::�::::a>:><..� .�'� �:.�.::::::::::::::.::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::�.:.:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::..............�........................... :.::::::::::::�.:.�::::::::::::::::::::::�.:::::.::. .............:.::.:::::::::::::::::::.::.:::::::::::::::.:::::.:::::.:.:::::::::::::................:::::.:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::.::::�::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::.::::::::::::::::::::. ;:::..::;�:.;:::::::::::..;:::.:.;:. :.;. .;:.;:.:.::;::.;;;:.::.:.::.;:.;:.;:.;:.::.;:.;:.;:.::.;:.::.;:.;:.;:.;:.;;;;::::.::.::.:.;;;:{.;:.;:.;:.;:.;:.;:.;:.;:.;:.::<.;:::;;:.;;:.: :.;:.:.:.;:.:::.;:.:: fr�r�t::�x::::sid�:::>::��::::���1:>: . ;:::������c�:::: �:>:::�: . :.���� �:>��::::ro�:ic��d:>:.: . �::::::::::.::::.;:.::.;:.;:<�:.::.::.::.::.::.;:.;:.;:.;:.::.::.::.::.::.:;�.:n..�€�c::::::::�.::::::.::: .::::::::::::.::.�::::::::::::::::::r� �.:::::::::::�!.::::::::::.:::.:::::::::. �:���::::':::::<::;::;:::�;;::>:>>:>:>:;;:<:>:>::<: :>.:.:>:::::>:::;;::�;<:>:::>::::::>:.<>::;;:>;,»>;<<::<.�;:::::::<`::>:::::��::::„::::>:<::.;:.>:;>:>::::;;::':�::::<' ��:°�°::::;;:;.::;;::::��::� �.::>:::::::::>::>::>�..�`a:�: v��� ���l��xs� ��tt��t#+� � ������at;��� T�:r�x� :::::::.::..�:::::::::::: .:::::::.: ...:::::::::.::.;:.:::.::::::::.;;:..:.;:.;::.::.:::::: .::::.::. .:::::::: : ;:.;;::.;..:..,..:.;:.;:.;:.;:::.::.;.:.;;;:.::.::.;;<::. .:..::::::>.>::::::::::::: ci� :�a.� �::a�:�::::. �::::::..: :: :.:. ... ...:...;::....:..:..:.. �.......... .�����..���:::: �:�>:�:::����6�.�:::� ;:>:���::<::��:::::�:::: . x ��� �.:>:��.� ::�.:::::::::::::.:::..:::::::::�.;:.::.::.::.::.::.::.::.::.::.::.::.::.::.;:.::�::.;,;:::::.:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::,:::::::::::::::,:::::::::::::::::::::::�.:�.:::.�?!.:::::::. ::i::i::i::i::iY:i::i::i::i::i::i":::i::i:::::i::i::i::i::i::::i:ti'::i::::i::::i::::i::::i:1::i::::i::::i::::i:::::v:::::.:.:.................................................................. ................................................................ ���>�n`:�a��:�.€�€�u�::::�����::::t�:::: . ��fi::::�as::::�s�d�: ...........................................»::>::�:::»::>::>::>::>::>::>::>::>::>::>::>::>::>::>::>::>::>::>::>: Discussion This amendment will carry-out recently adopted Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) policy concerning illegal parking in front or side yards. See attached memo from John Hardwick and Joyce Maddox, dated June 11, 1996, and BZA guidelines, dated June 24, 1996. Off- street parking spaces established by a permit from the department of public works before the adoption of the zoning code will be grandfathered-in as nonconforming uses. Parking spaces not established with permits before adoption of the code will be allowed to continue if they meet the guidelines as determined by the BZA. 4 alt,-l�y�- 3. CORRECT ACCESSORY BUILDING ERROR Sec. 62.106. Accessory buildings. (3) In any residential area, accessory buildings shall not exceed e���� fifteen (15) feet in height; provided, however, that accessory buildings with a flat or shed roof style shall not exceed twelve (12) feet in height. Exception: accessory building heights shall not apply to property within designated Heritage Preservation Districts nor to designated historic sites. In these cases appropriate building heights for accessory structures shall be determined through the design review process to ensure that heights are acceptable and in keeping with scale and style of development on the property. Discussion "One story" was inadvertently left in this clause when it was revised in the November 1995 Minor Zoning Amendments. 4. DELETE PRIOR STATE AND FAA APPROVAL FOR HELISTOPS Sec. 60.453. Principal uses permitted subject to special conditions. RM-2 DISTRICTS (5) Private helistop for emergency medical services which are accessory to a hospital, subject to the following conditions: a. The helistop shall be located at least two hundred fifty (250) radial feet from any residentially used or zoned property, measured in a straight line from the closest point of the takeoff and landing area to the closest property line of the residentially used or zoned property. b. The applicant shall perform a noise analysis to determine whether upon establishment of the helistop the Noise Pollution Control Rules, Chapter 7010, of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency would immediately be violated. If the analysis shows that the rules would be violated, the applicant shall take measures to prevent the potential violation before the helistop is established. c. The helistop shall be constructed, operated and maintained in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and State of Minnesota. �n n .,.,a �*„*o �,.,.,o ., ,oa *�,e �.o�:�*,... ��..,» �,o :.,,.�„aea «,:*�, +�,o fl��' 5 q,�.-1�4� d. A site plan of the proposed facility and an area map showing the distance between the proposed takeoff and landing area and the nearest residential property shall be provided to the planning commission. Sec. 60.614. Principal uses permitted subject to special conditions. I-1 DISTRICTS (9) Heliports and helistops, public and private, located at an airport, subject to the following conditions: a. The heliport and helistop shall be located at least one thousand (1,000) radial feet from any residentially used or zoned property, measured in a straight line from the closest point of the takeoff and landing area to the property line of the closest residentially used or zoned property. b. The applicant shall perform a noise analysis to determine whether upon establishment of the heliport or helistop the Noise Pollution Control Rules, Chapter 7010, of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, would immediately be violated. If the analysis shows that the rules would be violated, the applicant shall take measures to prevent the potential violation before the heliport or helistop is established. c. The heliport or helistop shall be constructed, operated and maintained in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and State of Minnesota. d. A site plan of the proposed facility and an area map showing the distance between the proposed take-off and landing area and the nearest residential property shall be provided to the commission. Discussion As the Children's Hospital zoning case showed, neither the State nor the FAA approves helistops or heliports prior to completion of construction. The facilities will still have to meet state and federal rules and regulations. 6 �I �, -�'�y�► � C1TY OF SAINT PAUL 1NTERDEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM DATE: June 11, 1996 TO: City Council Members, Mayor Coleman FROM: John Hardwick, LIEP Zoning Staff Joyce Maddo�hair Board of Zoning Appeals RE: Parking issues related to street repaving projects. LIEP in a cooperative effort with Public Works initiated a proactive program to eliminate existing illegal parking spaces within required front yards. This past summer Public works staff while surveying neighborhoods in preparation for street repaving projects notified property owners that curb cuts and driveway aprons will not be restored or provided for driveways leading to illegal front yard parking spaces. The notification also included information on the procedure to apply for a variance in order to legalize these spaces. This resulted in several variance applications for front yard parking coming before the Board of Zoning Appeals. The Board, without any forewarning, was faced with a flurry of cases, each with different situations and histories.The Board heard these cases and decided each on their individual merits. However, this resulted in some consternation for the applicants who thought that since their parking space had been used for 15 or 20 years and no one objected to the continued use, that their variance should be approved. When their variance application was denied this �resulted in some decisions being appealed to the City Council. We expect to see many more cases resulting from future street repaving projects. The Board, working with staff, in an effort to simplify the process for applicants, provide some guidance to the Board and reduce the number of appeals to the Council, is proposing the following: 1. Amending section 62.102 (d) to include a paragraph which states. . . " In residential zoning districts, an existing off-street parking space in a required front or side yard shall be considered a legal nonconforming use provided the parking space was established pursuant to a permit issued by Public Works prior to October 25, 1975 and that the use has been continuous since the permit was issued." 2. Adopting the attached Guidelines in order to assist Staff in making recommendations and the Board in evaluating variance requests concerning parking within a required yard. 3. Establishing a reduced i$90) application fee for variance requests relating to one and two family residential parking and specifically parking within a required yard. cc: Bob Kessler Jan Gasterland Wendy Lane Paul St Martin Roger Ryan LI f GUIDELINES FOR VARIANCC REQUESTS TO ALLOVV PARKIn'G �'VITHIN A REQUIRED YARD �OR O\E AND T�'4'O FAn'IILY D`�'ELLInGS.

For the purpose of tllis condition I�ardship shall include ; a disability by a resident of the property that qualifies for a State Handicap Parking Permit, topography that makes rear yard parking impossible, tlie lack of�lley access to the property, or insuf�icient lot size to provide off-street parking in a non- required ��ard. 3.

The zoning amendments made changes needed to bring the code up to date with new living or business practices, carry-out newly adopted plans, clarify regulations, correct errors, and incorporate zoning administrator interpretations and Planning Commission findings. Since these 40-acre studies were done only periodically, needed zoning amendments were delayed until staff, the Commission, and City Council had the time to work on them. In order to avoid such delays and to keep the code as current as possible, the Commission will consider and recommend to the City Council several minor zoning amendments most months. The most recent Minor Zoning Amendments recommendations concerning coffee kiosks, making existing parking spaces in front and side yards nonconforming uses, correcting an error in a previous garage amendment, and no longer requiring prior state and federal approval of helistops and heliports are attached. The Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed amendments on September 19, 1996. The Commission recommended their approval on September 27, 1996, as set forth in the attached resolution. 1
