157 structure; provided, that such modification will not impair the intent and purpose of such
158 special condition and is consistent with health, morals and general welfare of the community
159 and is consistent with reasonable enjoyment of adjacent property. �e '

Council President David Thune and
Members of the City Council
3rd Floor City Hall
Saint Paul, Minnesota 55102
Dear President Thune and members of the City Council:
Beginning in 1982, the Planning Commission periodically considered and recommended
to the City Council a series of minor zoning amendments contained in 40-acre studies
called Zoning Amendments I, II, etc. There have been eight of them. 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 limited
manufacturing of malt liquor and allowing the planning commission to grant variances
from zoning regulations related to permits and site plan approval are attached.
The Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the
proposed amendments on July 18, 1996. The Commission recommended their approval
on July 16, 1996, as set forth in the attached resolution.

MINOR ZONING AMENDMENTS
JULY 1996
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has determined that considering and
recommending monthly zoning amendments to the Mayor and City Council is the
most desirable way to keep the zoning code as current as possible; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Committee of the Planning Commission held a public hearing
on proposed minor zoning amendments concerning the manufacturing of malt
liquor and the granting of variances by the planning commission at their July
18, 1996, meeting; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Committee recommended a revision not allowing the serving
of the malt liquor to customers on the site where manufactured;
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has determined:
1. 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 June 27, July 3 and 10, 1996.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission recommends
approval of the zoning code amendments in the "Minor Zoning Amendments JULY
1996" study as revised by the Zoning Committee pertaining to the manufacturing
of malt liquor and the granting of variances by the Planning Commission and
directs the Planning Administrator to forward the study and this resolution to
the Mayor and City Council for their review and action.

DISCUSSION
This allows a limited amount of malt liquor to be produced during off-peak hours at brew on
premises stores in B-3 zoning districts. The manufacturing of small, precision goods and
wholesale establishments with less than 15,000 square feet of floor area are now permitted
uses in the B-3 district; allowing limited manufacuring of malt liquor is consistent with these
uses.

addressed to the respective owners at the address given in the most current Ramsey County
property taxation records.
(d) Conditional use permit; general standards. Before the planning commission may
grant approval of a principal use subject to special conditions, the commission shall find that:
(1) The extent, location and intensity of the use will be in substantial compliance
with the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan and any applicable subarea plans
which were approved by the city council.
(2) The use will provide adequate ingress and egress to minimize traffic
congestion in the public streets.
(3) The use will not be detrimental to the existing character of the development in
the immediate neighborhood or endanger the public health, safety and general
welfare.
(4) The use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement
of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district.
(5) The use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of
the district in which it is located.
(e) Conditions. The planning commission or the planning or zoning administrator
where delegated may impose such reasonable conditions and limitations in granting an
approval as are determined to be necessary to fulfill the spirit and purpose of the zoning code
and to protect adjacent properties.

DISCUSSION
This amendment allows the Planning Commission to grant variances from zoning regulations
related to special condition use permits, nonconforming use permits, determination of similar
use, sign variances, river corridor modifications, and site plan approvals. Under existing
regulations, permits are reviewed and approved or denied by the Planning Commission, and
variances are reviewed and approved or denied by the Board of Zoning Appeals. This
amendment will make the process of reviewing development proposals that need both zoning
permits and variances more efficient in time and money for the applicants and neighbors
since only one public hearing and review process is needed to reach decisions on proposals.

MEMORANDUM
Date: July 11, 1996
To: Zoning Committee
From: Roger Ryan ��
Re: Manufacturing malt liquor
The July Minor Zoning Amendments has a staff proposed amendment to allow as a permitted use in
B-3 districts the manufacturing of malt liquor in conjunction with brew on premises stores provided
that less than 2,000 barrels are manufactured in a year and the malt liquor is not sold at retail to
customers on the site where manufactured. The committee has asked staff to develop additional
options for their consideration.
Here are options mentioned by the committee for allowing the manufacturing of 2,000 barrels of malt
liquor a year not to be sold at retail on the site where manufactured.
1. OPTIONS
USE
1. Allow only in conjunction with brew on premises stores. (Staff proposal)
2. Allow only in conjunction with brew on premisses stores or brew pubs.
3. Allow as a stand alone use. This use could be a stand alone business, or it could be combined
with brew on premises stores, brew pubs, or any other permitted uses, such as brewing supply
stores or grocery stores.
TYPE OF USE
1. Permitted use. (Staff proposal)
2. Special condition use.
1
33
��-- 1 oa-q
ZONING DISTRICT
1. First permitted in B-2 district.
2. First permitted in B-3 district. (Staff proposal)
2. RECOMMENDATION
USE. Allowing limited manufacturing of malt liquor only with brew on premises stores takes care of
the situation Vine Hill Brewery presented to the commission. Staff of the State Department of Public
Safety has also informed planning staff that this combination of uses is permitted by state law.
State staff has also informed planning staff that Minnesota Statutes, Ch. 340A.301, Sub. 7, does not
allow a brew pub to manufacture malt liquor for sale off of the site of the brew pub. Conseyuently,
use option 2 can not be put into effect.
The State staff has also said that the manufacturing of malt liquor has to be a stand alone business in
its own separate space and not combined with other uses (except brew on premises stores as noted
above).
Staff recommends the first option as proposed. This fixes the problem presented to the commission.
TYPE OF USE
Staff recommends that the use be a permitted use. There are no apparent special circumstances that
need to be considered in a special condition use process before the use is established.
ZONING DISTRICT
Staff recommends that this use be first allowed in the B-3 districts because this is the district where
other limited manufacturing and wholesaling are first permitted.

Minor Zonincr Amendments, Julv 1996
1. IN B-3 ZONIbIG DISTRICTS, ALLOW LIMITED MANUFACTURING OF MALT LIQUOR
AT BREW ON PREMISES STORES FOR SALE TO RESTAURANTS, STORES, AND
CLUBS
Roger Ryan, Planning Division staff, reviewed the staff report and also his
July 11, 1996 memo regarding manufacturing malt liquor. Staff recommended
that the manufacturing of malt liquor be permitted in a B-3 district provided
it is in conjunction with a brew on premises store; that there is fewer than
2, 000 barrels of malt liquor manufactured in a year; and that malt liquor
shall not be sold retail to customers on the site where manufactured.
Mr. Ryan stated that the amendment as proposed would take care of the
situation that the committee was presented by Vine Park Brewir.g, and said he
wasn't sure that this would ever be combined with any other us�, nor that any
other such situation would ever occur.
Commissioner Field asked whether the manufacturer could gratuitously provide
their beverage.
Mr. Ryan responded that in the case of brew on premises that customers would
be renting equipment for persons to come in and purchase the ingredients and
brew their own malt liquor, and the malt liquor would belong to those who brew
it.
Commissioner Field reviewed that the micro-brewery for Vine Park Brewing will
brew for sale out of their larger tub that is not being utilized, and will
have a product for sale. He questioned whether any sale, distribution,
consumption will be allowed on premise.
Mr. Ryan said that no sale, distribution or consumption will be permitted and
that the brew must be wholesaled off.
Commissioner Field suggested an amendment be made to the language to prohibit
not only sale to retail customers on the site, but also prohibiting the
serving of brew on site as well.
Commissioner Field moved approval of Zoning Amendment No. 1, with the
amendment that:
,�_ malt licTUO=• shall not be served to customers on site where it is
manufactured.
Commissioner Gurney expressed concern over making the language overly
restrictive so as not to allow customers, i.e. bar owners, to come in and haye
�
���_ ra�-�
the opportunity to sample the product before they purchase it.
Commissioner Wencl said that such a buyer would not likely come to the brew
pub, but rather the brew pub would have a distributor who would distribute the
product off-site.
Commissioner Field said such language would prevent a tour of the premises or
a party to promote the micro-brewery beverage which will not be allowed.
The motion carried with a unanimous voice vote of 7 to 0.
In response to request by commissioners, staff will address the issue of
potential micro-wineries as well as other non-alcoholic beverages with the
August Minor Zoning Text Amendments.
2. ALLOW THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO GRANT VARIANCES RELATED TO ZONING
PERMITS AND SITE PLAN APPROVAL
Mr. Ryan reviewed the staff report and recommended the proposed amendments as
outlined in the staff report.
Commissioner Chavez asked how the proposed changes would affect the current
fee structure.
Mr. Ryan referred to page 5, no. 2, where it states that: "ADalicants shall be
charged only the fee for the special condition use permit. " He reiterated
that there will be only one staff review and public notification.
Commissioner Gurney questioned if the same amount of staff time would be
required as in the past, but with less fees to cover it.
Mr. Ryan responded that would not be the case, that as it is now the staff
work is duplicative as it is necessary to support two different bodies, the
Board of Zoning Appeals and the Zoning Committee. The proposed amendments
would only require the addition of the findings for the variGnce which would
not justify requiring both fees.
Commissioner Field moved approval of Zoning Amendment No. 2. Commissioner
Faricy seconded the motion. The motion carried with a role call vote of
7 to 0.
