Title:
PUBLIC HEARING: Ordinance Establishing E-3 Employment Zoning District
Purpose/Background:
The purpose of this case is to consider the establishment of a new employment zoning district within the City of Ramsey. This zoning district correlates to the City's new business park located generally west of Armstrong Boulevard and north and south of Bunker Lake Boulevard.
?Note: the Comprehensive Plan Amendment has now been approved by the Metropolitan Council. Additionally, uses proposed in buildings currently being constructed are proposing uses in the existing underlying zoning district (indoor commercial recreation). This use is intended to carry over to the new zoning district in addition to the traditional business park uses (this same scenario is allowed in the City's existing business parks).

Notification:
A public hearing is required and the appropriate notice has been issued.
Observations/Alternatives:
Alternatives
Alternative 1: Recommend approval of Ordinance #17-21 Establishing the E-3 Employment District as proposed. The E-3 Employment District is modeled after the E-2 Employment District with more stringent governance over outdoor storage. Staff supports this alternative.
Alternative 2: Table Ordinance #17-21 Establishing the E-3 Employment District as proposed. If the Planning Commission feels that additional work is necessary in refining the proposed language for the E-3 Employment District it should direct staff to specific areas it would like to see refined. Staff is not opposed to this alternative.
Alternative 3: Recommend denial of Ordinance #17-21 Establishing the E-3 Employment District. The E-3 Employment District is being established for the City's new Industrial Park. Staff does not support this alternative.
