Applicant: City of Farmington 430 Third Street Farmington, MN 55024 DATE: August 13, 2014 INTRODUCTION Attached, for the Commissions consideration, are three ordinances all related to Limited Commercial Ventures. DISCUSSION Over the last several months the City's Heritage Preservation Commission [HPC] has been working on developing an ordinance that would allow certain commercial establishments to be located within properties /buildings that have been designated or are eligible for designation as Farmington Heritage Landmarks and /or on the National Register for Historic Places. The proposed ordinances that are attached were developed in response to a request that staff had received regarding the Akin House (19185 Akin Road) from a potential buyer of the property. The individual wanted to know if the property could be utilized for commercial purposes. The property is zoned residential (R -1) and would come with some challenges with utilizing it for commercial purposes. The HPC requested that staff look into an ordinance that could address the potential use of the City's landmark homes (which are all zoned residential) for limited commercial establishments provided certain criteria are met and a CUP is reviewed and approved by the HPC and Planning Commission. The attached ordinance was based on an existing ordinance that the City of Cottage Grove has implemented. The City's Heritage Preservation Commission reviewed the proposed ordinances in their current forms at its regular meeting on July 22, 2014. The HPC voted 4 -0 to recommend that the ordinances be forwarded on to the Planning Commission for consideration and a public hearing. It should be noted that all the owners of the residential heritage landmark properties were invited to the July 22nd HPC meeting. None of the property owners attended the meeting. Two of the property owners did contact staff prior to the meeting and neither expressed any concerns regarding the ordinances. ACTION REQUESTED Review the attached ordinances and hold a public hearing. If the ordinances are acceptable to the Planning Commission a motion to recommend approval of these ordinances to the City Council would be appropriate.
