Information

Title:

Introduce Ordinance #20-01 #21-01 Amending City Code Sections 117-111 (R-1 Residential District) and 117-112 (R-2 Residential District) Clarifying Sub-districts based on Lot Size

Purpose/Background:

The purpose of this case is administrative/housekeeping in nature. Based on recent applications of the newly created sub-districts allowing 65 foot wide lots and 50 foot wide lots 'by right', Staff is proposing a restructuring of City Code as it pertains to detached single-family lots.
  • Standards for 80 foot wide lot and 65 foot wide lots remain unchanged
  • Moves 50 foot wide lots from R-2 Residential District to R-1 Residential District
    • Consistent with actual net density
    • Standards remain unchanged
    • Clarifies that accessory structures are allowed
  • Moves 40 foot wide lots from R-3 Residential District to R-2 Residential District
    • Consistent with actual net density
    • Standards remain unchanged
    • Clarifies that R-3 Residential District is reserved for higher-density developments

Notification:

The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on January 7, 2021. The Public Hearing Notice was properly advertised in the Anoka County Union-Herald, the City's Official Newsletter. A notice is not required for this step. 

Observations/Alternatives:

As noted above, there are no policy implications in this ordinance. This is a housekeeping amendment to establish a more logical structure and naming scheme for detached single-family districts. These recommended amendments are based on actual experience applying recent code changes. 

Funding Source:

This case is being handled as part of normal Staff duties. 

Recommendation:

The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance #20-01 #21-01

Action:

Motion to introduce Ordinance #20-01 #21-01
