DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED AMENDMFNT TO ZONING CODE - I-394 CORRIDOR MORATORIUM ORDINANCE In preparation for discussion on this public hearing held at the January 11, 1988 meeting, Chair Prazak asked for a review of the discussion guide which had been prepared by staff. City Planner Wilkinson reviewed the points for discussion. Commissioner McAleese suggested a new order of the items for discussion and it was the consensus of the Commission to follow this suggested order. This first item for discussion was the necessity of the ordinance. The consensus of the Commissioners was that there was a need for the moratorium to allow joint planning between the Cities of Golden Valley and St. Louis Park. Some members felt the length of the moratorium should be less than one year. It had been suggested at the public hearing that the moratorium area be limited to 600 feet on either side if Highway 12/I-394, but the Commissioners felt this was too sma11 of an area. It had also been requested to eliminate the Golden Valley Lutheran College site and/or all the property north of Glenwood Avenue. There were varying opinions on this by the Commissioners but five out of seven agreed they would favor eliminating the College site from the moratorium area. � � Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission � January 25, 1988 Page 2 It was noted by Commissioner Leppik that this property had been vacant for a long time and that it would be of benefit to the City to have the developers go forward with their proposal . Some discussion occurred regarding providing an appeals process for eliminating certain areas but most Commissioners felt this would be a difficult process and probably would not work. After further discussion on several other items, it was moved by Commissioner McCracken-Hunt, seconded by Commissioner Leppik and motion carried unanimously to recommend that the City Council adopt the Interim Ordinance Establishing Development Restrictions along State Highway 12/I-394 with the following modifications: 1. Clarify residential development in Section 1.01 of the ordinance by rewording the last sentence of the third paragraph to read "Low density residential development (up to four units per acre) need not be restricted because it will not generate major additional traffic.° 2. In fourth paragraph of Section 1.01, include Planned Unit Developments as not being accepted for consideration. � 3. Changing the geographic area to exclude the Golden Valley Lutheran College site. 4. In Section 2.01 include the following as exceptions: a. Parking structures to replace parking lost to right-of-way acquisition or reconfiguration of existing parking. b. Construction of buildings to replace buildings lost to right-of-way or destroyed by fire, not to exceed the square footage or original buildings. c.
