Discussion of Potential Ordinance Amendments Staff proposed an amendment to the B-2 (downtown business) district lot area and width requirements. The existing lot width is 50 feet and lot area is 5,000 square feet. Staff recommends eliminating these requirements. The site plan requirements would remain in place. The building code does require a minimum square footage for habitable space. For any new construction,there is an overlay district with design standards. Commission members agreed with this amendment. Staff also proposed the addition of warehouse facilities as a conditional use in the B-3 (heavy business) district. There are 63 properties zoned B-3 and are along First Street,to the north of downtown along Willow and Pine Streets, and the Farmington Business Park. Commission members agreed with this amendment. A public hearing for these amendments will be held at the April 11, 2017,Planning Commission meeting. 4. Adjourn MOTION by Franceschelli, second by Rich to adjourn at 7:20 p.m. APIF,MOTION CARRIED.

The subject property is 19055 Enchanted Way. Planning Review Site Address: 19055 Enchanted Way Property Owner/Applicant: Terry& Kim Larson- 19055 Enchanted Way Attachments: • Application(Exhibit A) • Letter from the Applicant(Exhibit B) • Site Plan/Survey(Exhibit C) • Aerial of Property(Exhibit D) • Plans for coop and run(Exhibit E) Property Legal Description: Lot One(1), Block One(1),AKIN PARK 3RD ADDITION Lot Area: 12,231 square feet(0.28 acres) Existing Land Use: Single-family residence Surrounding Land Uses: The subject property is completely surrounded by single-family residences. Existing Zoning: R-1 (Low Density Residential) DISCUSSION Terry and Kim Larson have applied for an Urban Chicken Permit. The permit is requesting the keeping of 3 hen chickens on the property located at 19055 Enchanted Way. The proposed coop, as shown in Exhibit E, is 16 square feet in size(4' x 4'). A run is proposed to be attached to the coop and would be 32 square feet in size(4' x 8'). The run and coop meet the size limitations as outlined in the City Code. As shown in Exhibit C, the coop and run are proposed to be located in the rear of the property towards the southwest corner of the property. Code requires that all coops and runs be setback a minimum of 10 feet from all property lines and also be a minimum distance of 25 feet from any principal structure on an adjacent lot. It appears the placement as shown in Exhibit C meets these requirements. Lot coverage with a coop of 16 square feet would be approximately 16.25%. The maximum lot coverage allowed in the R-1 zoning district is 30%. Section 10-6-29(k)6 states that any chicken coop or run must be screened from view with a solid fence or landscaped buffer with a minimum height of 4 feet. The property is fenced with 4 foot high chain link fencing on the side lot lines and a 6 foot high wooden privacy fence along the rear property line. Staff feels the coop and run will be sufficiently screened as it is screened from the north by an existing shed on the applicant's property. The coop and run are screened to the south by the 6 foot high privacy fence. Screened to the west by a tree and neighbors shed and will be screened to the east most of the year by the applicant's garden. ACTION REQUESTED Approve the Urban Chicken Permit subject to the following conditions: 1. A renewal permit shall be applied for and administratively approved every year after the Urban Chicken Permit has been approved that chickens are kept on the property. 2. All other requirements specified in section 10-6-29 of the city code shall be abided by.

DISCUSSION Section 10-5-14(B)of the city code outlines the bulk standard requirements (i.e., lot area, lot width, setback, etc.)for the city's downtown business zoning district. Currently, the minimum standards for lot area and width within the B-2 zone are 5,000 square feet and 50 feet, respectively. It is staffs belief that it be more appropriate to not have minimum standards for lot width and area in this zoning district. As the Commission is aware, downtown's are typically very unique in how they have been set up and tend to be one of the oldest areas of the community. With that being said, downtown's typically have lots that vary widely in lot area and width. Farmington's downtown has a number of lots that currently do not meet the minimum standards for lot area and width. Any development or expansion on these"substandard" lots would require approval of a variance from the commission. One way to eliminate the need for variances in these instances is not to have minimum standards for lot area and width. The practice of having no minimum standards for lot area and width in a central or downtown business district is not uncommon. Many communities institute this practice into their zoning codes largely due to the uniqueness that downtown's present. Nearby examples include the cities of Lakeville and Rosemount. The Commission had discussed this proposed amendment at length at its meetings in January and March and were in agreement to move forward with a public hearing. ACTION REQUESTED Recommend approval of the attached ordinance amending Section 10-5-14 of the City Code as it relates to the minimum lot area and lot width within the B-2 zoning district and forward that recommendation on to the City Council.

DISCUSSION Staff is proposing to amend the B-3 zoning district to conditionally allow warehousing facilities. A warehousing facility as defined in City Code is "a building and/or facility used primarily for the extended storage of goods and materials". Warehousing facilities are currently allowed in the IP (Industrial park), I-1 (Industrial)and the Business/Commercial Flex zones. It is allowed as a permitted use in all three zones. As the Commission is aware the B-3 zone is the city's Heavy Business District which lends itself to certain commercial and industrial uses that are more intense and not generally compatible with uses identified in the city's other commercial zoning districts. Staff feels it would be appropriate to amend the B-3 zone to allow warehousing facilities as a conditional use. ACTION REQUESTED Recommend approval of the attached ordinance amending Section 10-5-15 of the City Code to conditionally allow warehousing facilities within the B-3 zoning district and forward that recommendation on to the City Council.

Section 10-6-2 of the City Code is attached for your reference. DISCUSSION Staff was recently contacted by a property owner who currently runs an approved home based business within the community. The individual was inquiring about the possibility of expanding their business to include up to two (2)additional employees. The employees would not live at the premises.As the Commission is aware,home occupations are allowed in residential homes by approval of a conditional use permit. Any change in the home occupation from what was originally approved would require an amendment be granted by the Planning Commission. In addition, the current code provision which is attached is very specific in that the home occupation must be conducted solely and entirely by persons who reside full time in the home. Staff would like to discuss the home occupation code with the commission and determine what level of desire there may be to amend the code to address things such as additional employees, listing permitted and prohibited home based business, etc. Staff does believe the existing home occupation ordinance should be reviewed as it is far too general and that it leaves staff in a position of having to make judgement calls on what truly needs to be reviewed and regulated under a home occupation ordinance. ACTION REQUESTED Staff would like to discuss the city's home occupation ordinance with the Commission.
