mon to other recommendations made by the County in similar subdivisions along

MEMORANDUM
� DATE: Sep�ember 18, 1991
T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission
FROM: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO THE INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT (CITY CQQE SECTION
11.36, Subd. 3) TO ALLOW TEMPORARY RETAIL SALES
The City occasionally receives requests from various civic organizations or
private parties to hold �emporary retail sales in the Industrial Zoning
District. The Zoning Code currently does not permit any type of retail sales
in the Industrial District, therefore, all such requests have been denied when
they have come to the staff's attention.
Recently, the American Cancer Society (ACS) approached the staff to hold their
"World's Largest Garage Sale" in the empty or near empty PAKO building at the
northwest corner of TH. 55 and Douglas Drive. The owner of the building, R.L.
Johnson, has agreed to provide the space to the ACS at no cost. The sale is
set for October 8-12, 1991. In this case, the staff believes that the request
is legitimate and can be held at the PAKO site with minimal problems because
the ACS is a very responsible organization that will work with the staff to
� insure the sale will not have a significant effect on the area. However, the
Zoning Code does not permit such sales at the current time.
After consultation with the City Attorney and other staff ine�bers, the Planning
staff is recommending an amendment to the Industrial Zoning District that would
permit temporary retail sales on a limited basis. The staff and attorney
believe that the proposed ordinance will allow the sales to be held without
having a significant impact on the adjacent areas.
I am enclosing a copy of the ordinance which is self explanatory. There are a
couple of points I want to highlight, they are:
1. Temporary Retail Sales are permitted uses in the Industrial
Zoning District if they qualify under the terms of the
Ordinance. If they qualify, the Director of Zoning and
Comrnunity Services issues a permit.
2. Temporary Retail Sales is only permitted in the Industrial and
not the Light Industrial District. This may cause some concern
� the Light Industrial District specifically prohibits any
kind of retail sale and the Industrial District does not.
3. The Ordinance allows the sales to be immediately suspended if
the sale is in violation of the terms of the permit.

� MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 19, 1991
T0: Golden Valley Planning Commission
FROM: Mark W. Grimes, Director of Planning and Development
SUBJECT: AMENDMENTS TO VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE ZONING CODE TO ALLOW
"ESSENTIAL SERVICES" AS PERMITTED OR ACCESSORY USES
The staff has prepared the attached changes to the Zoning Code in order to
accommodate the construction of communication towers (including cellular
towers) up to 120 ft. in height. The staff has struggled with the best method
to permit these towers. The staff believes that the prepared changes are a
reasonable approach to permitting such towers.
The proposed code changes creates a new term -- "Essential Services" that is
used to define public utility structures and facilities. The definition has
� three classes. Class I are essential services such as pipes or wires for phone
lines, electric lines and water and sewer pipes. Class II essential services
are public utility facilities that include towers up to 120 ft. in height.
This would include cellular telephone, radio and television towers. Class III
essential services are electric peaking station, switching stations and towers
for radio, television and cellular telephone not to exceed 300 feet in height.
The code changes permits Class I "Essential Services" in all zoning districts
since they are needed to serve all types of uses permitted in the City. Class
II "Essential Services" are permitted as an accessory use in the Industrial ,
Light Industrial , Business and Professional Office and Commercial Zoning Dis-
tricts. Class III "Essential Services" are permitted in the Light Industrial
and Industrial Districts with certain restrictions regarding distance from
residential property.
The staff prefers this method of dealing with "Essential Services". It elimi-
nates the use of conditional use permits by permitting each class of "Essential
Services" in one or more zoning district.
