THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SA1NT PAUL DOES HEREBY ORDAIN
Section 1
Interim Ordinance: Statement of Legislative Intent and Findings. The City's River Corridor
Overlay District ordinances were adopted in 1982 as a chapter of the City's zoning ordinances for
the purposes of providing comprehensive flood plain and river bluff management practices
within the River Corridor Overlay District.
Since 1982, various amendments to the City's zoning ordinances and the impact of those
ordinance amendments on the comprehensive purpose of the River Corridor Overlay District
prompted the creation of a Legislative Advisory Committee to undertake a study and to make
recommendations for possible changes to the City's zoning ordinances which may affect the
River Corridor Overlay District. The Legislative Advisory Committee has nearly completed its
report and recommendations far changes to the City's zoning ordinances affecting the River
Comdor Overlay District.
There are, within the City's municipal limits, various designated River Corridor Overlay Districts
along the length of the Mississippi River from the common boundary with Minneapolis
downstream along and to the various common boundaries with the municipalities of Mendota
Heights, Lillydale, South Saint Paul and Newport. The azea of the City downstream of the
Downtown area within the River Corridor Overlay District, especially the area of the City lying
on the easterly bank of the Mississippi River and along and to its intersection with the City's
municipal limits with South Saint Paul and Newport, contains a unique mix the City's natural,

built, economic, and social environments. More precisely, that area of the City commonly
known as the South Highwood neighborhood is entirely within the River Corridor Overlay
District. The azea of South Highwood, bounded on the north by Lower Afton Road and lying to
the_ east of Point Douglas Road and the west of Winthrop Street, as if Winthrop were fully
opened to the south all the way to the Ramsey County/Washington County Line, contains one of
the broadest mixtures of these environxnents ranging from the heavy industrial land and water
uses in the vicinity of Red Rock Road to the unique and nearly rural, residential azeas located
between Highway 61 and the line delineated by Winthrop Street. This unique combination of
land uses creates a special challenge for the City's planning activiries. The Council finds that the
City's planning activities would benefit from any report and recommendations for change
adopted by the City based upon the wark of the Legislative Advisory Committee presently
studying the River Corridor Overlay District. It would, therefore, be in the best interest of the
City and its planning process to preserve the statue quo regazding the City's planning activities
within this area of the City until such time as the report and recommendations of the Legislative
Advisory Committee presently studying the River Corridor Overlay District haue been presented
to the City Council and acted upon as required by law.
Accordingly, it is the desire of the Council of the City of Saint Paul to establish, under this
interim ordinance, a moratorium to protect the general health, welfare and safety of the public
and to preserve the status quo with respect to the present land use within the area as generally
described above and more accurately described as that portion of the City, within Ward Seven,
south of Lower Afton Road, east of Point Douelas Road and west of Winthrop Street, as if
Winthrop Street were fully opened to the south all the way to the Ramsey County/Washington
County Line, and is presently within and subject to any regulation contained within the
provisions of the River Corridor Overlay District, pending the conclusion of the report of the
Legislative Advisory Committee studying these lands by immediately prohibiting, subject to
exception provided by the City Council, any development on any lot or part thereof within the
boundaries described above until such time as the said report has been completed and reported to
the City Council, and the effective date of any City Council action based upon any
recommendations arising therefrom.
Section 2
Tnterim Ordinance: Moratorium Imposed; Ward Seven. On any parcel of land, lot, or part
thereof within that area of Wazd Seven south of Lower Afton Road, east of Point Douelas Road
and west of Winthrop Street, as if Winthrop Street were fully opened to the south, all the way to

Committee's report on the River Corridor Overlay District and action by the City Council on the
said report, the issuance or approval of zoning permits, site plan and lot split or plat approvals,
and building permits or occupancy certificates, aze prohibited until the expiration of twelve
months or until such earlier time as the City Council has taken action on the recommendations
contained in the said report, unless otherwise provided by the City Council.
