wanted ��host a ��adu�tion or wedding reception at their home and hire a food truck for
the event. *�the r�i�ommendation of the Planning Commission, the Amendment had
been updated i���iclude a ten foot distance required between food trucks and all
structures for fire safety, to allow parking of food trucks on the street if service windows
face the curb and it does not block traffic, to prohibit sales to the general public in
residential areas except in cases where the street was closed for Special Events, to
impose a six hour time limit on food truck sales, and to limit the permits issued for
mobile food vending in residential districts to finro per applicant per year. Applicants
would also be given educational materials and encouraged to inform their neighbors
ahead of time about the event to limit complaints.
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
May 22, 2017
Goellner revisited the regulations presented at the previous meeting, stating that mobile
food vending in residential districts must occur between eight a.m. and ten p.m., a
permit is for one truck and one day and would not include a liquor license, trash removal
is required, the food truck cannot park overnight, and it cannot create a parking
shortage. Goellner said that the persons involved must follow the existing noise
ordinance, although she noted that there have been no noise complaints about food
trucks in the districts where they are currently permitted.
Commissioner Baker expressed that he was concerned about the n �d to close streets
for special events. He stated that people may wish to have a foo� �x �����an athletic
event in a park which would vend to the general public and as�Cec� ` the str�ts would be
required to be closed for that. Goellner clarified that the Park��epa��_ent h���les atl
permits for mobile food vending in parks and that the tex�a��,.�� ndm�nt r��uest�n
applies only to private events in residential districts, so th���le ���''of wh�e���`�r not to
close the streets for an event in a park would be m�e by t��Par���Dep r�ent.
Johnson asked about the possibility of there 1�������� It����oa�trucic���"� the same
street at the same time and wanted to know i���ere v����a li��"�����how many mobile
��-�.
food vending permits could be issued on ne s��et simul��neou��. Goellner replied
that she did not anticipate that being � ��; �n��cause t��permit could be denied by
staff if there was insufficient space. �� � ��` �� � ��

Johnson brought up the forty do�r p��iit f�� w����g to know how that rate was

determined. Goellner replie��h�at r���ov :� the��mmis'�rative costs of processing the
permit. Goellner stated th��`�or`���lol��-� � as the�te that had been set as an
introductory rate, but that if���uld�� re d at a later time by City Council if it was

asked for cr�i�f��tior��n �� fills o��t the application. Goellner said it would typically be
���
the vend�c but�������9�me��wner has to sign, so both parties are part of the process.

Re�r�ing to�ag `�� h 17;�egelbaum said he was confused about the difference
betwe��the te�,� "����icant", "property owner", and "vendor" since they did not seem
to be us��;onsis�ntly. Goellner clarified that the application could be filed by either the
property ow�" ����ie vendor, so "applicant"was used when referencing the permit
application process but could refer to either the property owner or the vendor, whereas
"property owner" and "vendor" refer to those persons specifically. Segelbaum asked
staff to take another look at how those words are used.
Referring to item four, page four Segelbaum raised concern about the language that
seemed to restrict vendors to only having one permit at a time. He said that might
prevent vendors from having events on consecutive days. Zimmerman said that staff
would take another look at that section and think about why it was written that way.

Segelbaum opened the public hearing.
John Levy, president of the Minnesota Food Truck Association, introduced himself and
said that he was there both to offer feedback and to answer questions the Commission
might have about the food truck industry. He stated that he did not think the ban on
"sales to the general public" was necessary and recommended eliminating or expanding
the six hour time limit on food truck sales. He explained that people may often plan an
event where they want the food truck to serve both lunch and dinner and that a six hour
time limit would prevent that. He said he was unaware of any instanc��s where food
trucks being at a residence for long periods of time had caused � �� ���'�ms.
� ����
He also questioned why there was a limit of finro permits per}��r.�� �� state��at he
thought there should be no limit on the number of trucks at�red on a�5t,�eet a��ine time
since, in his experience, he said he has found that food tr�c���op��te b���w��n there
is more than one food truck present. Levy brought up Johr►�n'��`;. �ncern a����t the
permit price and said that he agreed it seemed too�i���to h��be� � �se t�� margins for
a food truck serving just one meal are slim. ����� `�� ��� ' __����
� .
� � �;.
Waldhauser asked what a typical price for a ���mit is, ii��,evy�����erience, and Levy
replied that he did not know. Waldhau����ntrt��ed that����vas likely the property owner
who was hosting the party would pay � fe�, v��ch cas .�he cost would not affect the
vendors. Kluchka mentioned that 1��pe�`���t� is ��;�� -� ble to the price of the
permits food trucks must receiv���rom��� �If '�� �artment.
�;� � � � �'
Segelbaum wanted to kno�r��, ��.th+�r��� of a ��g event, a�food truck would ever need
to hook up to the electrical��rsterfi�rt�Le����stated that food trucks typically run off a
generator and woul���ot nee�!�o �g inf���n additional source of electricity.
�. �
� � �,
Segelbaum ask�d Lev�i��i��thm��n the proposed text amendment stood out to him.
Levy stated that thing'�'�too��# to��m, but that he was not familiar with the typical
� ��� �
language o�`����les �vy r'����nm�i�€led adding the option of a seasonal permit for
vendor��.noti�€���i�m�y a��er cities provide that option.
�, ..<u w�
Sen no � ����

��
Segel�m ask�i if t��e was a limit to the number of food trucks in non-residential
areas Gv��ner s���i there was no formal limit, but that available space would be
�
analyzed b���� ,�� roval and that permits could be denied by staff if there was
insufficient space.
Waldhauser wanted to know why two food trucks at a residential event would be a
problem, provided there was room on the street. She agreed with Mr. Levy that she
thought more than one food truck would be more fun provided there were enough
people and enough space. Zimmerman stated that the limit on number of food trucks
applied to private events and that a special event could have more.

May 22, 2017
Segelbaum asked where the recommendation for the limit on permits came from.
Goellner confirmed that it was from the Planning Commission. Baker stated that the limit
was imposed because there was concern that an unlimited amount of permits could
encourage a party house situation. Kluchka proposed that if more trucks were desired,
neighbors could collaborate with each other and that neighbors could apply for the
permits for additional food trucks, which would not require a special event permit.
Waldhauser agreed that a limit on permits was a good measure which would prevent
frequent parties that might disturb neighbors. Mr. Levy stated that he thought this was a
bad idea that could create logistical problems. He recommended ���1 allowing
multiple food trucks and said that he has not heard of any probl��r�cre����by frequent
food truck events. �n
��� �` ���� ��.
Baker asked if staff had the ability to deny a permit if the a���' ant �pp�� too�,
frequently. Goellner said that, without a formal limit, they �ul������deny � ��it if
there had been complaints or prior violations of Cit� ode .��phn �'� �� � recor„�m�nded not
having a limit on number of trucks because the e�`��� �an� woi��� �ulate
disturbances. �_ �� ����� ��� ' �' �

Segelbaum speculated that the limit on n�mb"���of food�t�cks rr�i�ht create long waits
for food. Waldhauser pointed out that�r���� et��hyouse t��e situation, as was likely to
happen in residential districts, she did r��� im ine ��� bea�� a problem.

Baker recommended not being ��`erly��strr���e �tl�ss problems arise. Johnson agreed
that the noise ordinance co�l� �Ivi�ay�s b�se cont�ol disturbances, and permits
could always be denied if��t�re`v��re����plaints.��e said he would eliminate the limit
entirety. �`��� �
�
� ���
� ��_
Waldhauser said the�� �f the���`�st's pro�� might self-impose a limit. Zimmerman
noted that curre�t�lang�g���es ���actually specify that the food truck must be parked
adjacent to �he h��'�S pr�:� e ���e�'��aum asked that the language be updated to
require the`����uct��o p �� adjac�nt to the host's property.
� ,
;� _ � ,�
Blum ask��for n�'��t�� a �� ut whether the limit was on number of trucks per event
� �, r���,
or rt�mber o�-�ven��per y��r. Zimmerman clarified that there were two limits, one
permi��,�r truc���� r �erty and two permits permitted per year per property. He said
that, whi��, i���had r��t been intended that way, the language could potentially allow hosts
to have eitti��tv�r��vents per year with one truck or one event per year with two trucks.
��:.�,�.
Kluchka asked what flexibility could be allowed for larger neighborhood events.
Zimmerman pointed out that a special event permit could allow a larger event. Kluchka
requested that a reference be added to special event permits in the text amendment to
allow greater flexibility for neighborhood events.
Segelbaum reviewed what had been discussed so far. He stated that they had agreed
to clarify the definitions of"vendor" and "applicant", to correct item seventeen, and to

state that there is an exception to certain regulations for special event permits.
Zimmerman added that they had also decided to restrict parking to the host's property.
Baker raised the question of seasonal permits. Goellner clarified that seasonal permits
were permitted in other zoning districts of the city, but were not permitted in residential
zoning districts.
Johnson brought up the six hour time limit. Blum asked why six hours had been
selected, and Goellner answered that it had been suggested by the Planning
Commission. Baker brought up the possibility of a two-meal even�������ght take
longer. Kluchka wondered if allowing an exception to the time lir��kcoul��►���ranted for
a special event permit, and Zimmerman confirmed that was ���ca�� ��

Segelbaum brought�`� e iss����� ��the fo��dollar permit fee. Goellner stated that any
changes to that fee w , ����d����ie approved by the City Council and that forty dollars

so far. Seg ��um � ge�� fo����ng the price for residential districts. Kluchka pointed
out that ro�C`����xh��p,erri� for the food truck in residential districts is the same
� br� �,
amount o`�rork`��� pt����� �the permit in other districts.
� �
John�i said ��t h ` ould�still like to lower the fee. Blum said that since it costs money
to monit�r the ev���t fo��r`�ompliance and process the paper work, that lowering the fee
�g
would forc�he ta�ayers to subsidize someone else's party. A consensus was reached
to leave the p���n��fee at forty dollars.
Returning to the issue of the time limit, Segelbaum said he would be in favor of eight
hours. A consensus was reached to increase the time limit to eight hours.
Blum called attention to the required ten foot distance from homes recommended by the
Fire Department. He stated that a tank of propane has the explosive power of several
sticks of dynamite and questioned whether they were comfortable allowing the food
trucks that close to the buildings. Waldhauser stated that if they were truly that
explosive, they would be too dangerous to have anywhere. Baker asked if there was a
5
Minutes of the Golden Valley Planning Commission
May 22, 2017
history of food truck explosions, and Blum cited several instances of injuries and
property damage due to food truck explosions. Baker pointed out that food trucks on
streets is a common practice in Minneapolis.
Blum brought up the possibility of risk to the neighboring properties in case of a fire or
an explosion and recommended a required distance from the neighboring property line
in addition to the required distance from structures, and increasing the required distance
to thirty feet from structures. Kluchka asked what the Fire Chief's recommendation was.
Goellner replied that it was ten feet from all structures and that, whil�,�here was not a �
� ��
national standard as of yet, the Fire Chief expected ten feet to b �� national
standard. Blum stated that he would still support increasing t r .�ired is�nce, but
_ � �
the other Commissioners did not support his recommendat���� .
� �

Kluchka expressed that he would be supportive of a ten �t'�d�sta ` req�ire��nt from
the neighbor's property line. Zimmerman and Goellner dis�p�urac� . this re���tion,
pointing out that it could prevent people with narrow°��� fror��ua ��r g ���=��gelbaum

Johnson objected to adding a required�l��cc'f�om the ighbor's property line,
stating that neighbors will always do t���qs ��t ai�Qy eac � ' ther and he did not see
why this was different. Goellner s���s�� th�,f�ve �€���_� Id be more reasonable than

Waldhauser discussed a meeting she had attended of local activists organizing to
promote affordable housing and informed the Commission that a group of activists will
be forming in Golden Valley. She asked if there was a way for Golden Valley to partner
with Minneapolis's program to sell vacant properties in North Minneapolis since the finro
cities are adjacent to each other. She said she was unsure what such a partnership
would look like but wanted to raise it as a possibility.

Date: June 12, 2017
To: Golden Valley Planning Commission
From: Emily Goellner, Associate Planner/Grant Writer
Subject: Zoning Code Text Amendment—Discussion —Amending Zoning Code to Comply
with the Religious land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA)
� � � ��
Background
The City sporadically receives inquiries from religious organizations that are interested in
relocating to Golden Valley. Currently, the Zoning Code only allows churches in the Institutional
"I-1" Sub-District, which is designated primarily for churches and schools. The definition of a
church in the Code includes "a synagogue, rectory, parish house or similar building incidental to
the principal use which is maintained and operated by an organized group for religious
purposes."
All of the properties currently zoned for I-1 use are long-established churches and no vacancies
exist at this time. These properties are located primarily in large, customized buildings in
residential neighborhoods (see attached map). The organizations inquiring are often interested in
smaller spaces, sometimes in the Commercial and Light Industrial Zoning Districts.
Staff conducted research and determined that adjustments should be made to the Zoning Code
in order to improve compliance with federal law. Adjustments would also offer more
opportunities to religious organizations as well as building owners in Golden Valley.
The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) protects religious institutions
such as churches, synagogues, mosques,temples, and religious schools from burdensome and
discriminatory land use regulations at the local level of government. The Act was passed by
congress in 2000 after several lawsuits were filed against local governments around the country.
The League of Minnesota Cities and the American Planning Association have recommended that
all City governments review their Zoning Codes to be sure that the Code:
• Treats all religious institutions in the same way, regardless of denomination
• Allows religious institutions in the same Zoning Districts where other similar non-religious
institutions are allowed (examples include private clubs or lodge halls)
• Allows religious institutions in a reasonable amount of Zoning Districts by right so that
special or conditional permits are not the only way to occupy a building
• Reduce the necessity for a Conditional Use Permit as much as possible (thereby reducing
risk of overly burdensome or discriminatory conditions of approval)
• Site development requirements such as landscaping, off-street parking, height, and
setbacks must be practical and no more restrictive than requirements for similar land uses
Summarv of Staff Recommendations:
• Strike the word "Church" from the City Code and define it under a more encompassing
definition of"Places of Assembly" (a combined definition indicates equal treatment
among these uses)
• Allow Places of Assembly in all Institutional Sub-Districts (I-1 through I-5)
• Consider whether to allow Places of Assembly by right (as long as all other city code
requirements are met) in Commercial, Business and Professional Offices, I-394 Mixed
Use, and Light Industrial Districts, or to require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for uses
of a certain size (with size threshold yet to be determined)
• Continue to prohibit Places of Assembly in the Industrial Zoning District
• Prohibit Places of Assembly in all Residential Zoning Districts (R-1 through R-4)
• Update parking requirements for Places of Assembly and allow shared parking
arrangements with adjacent properties
Recommended Definition
Places of Assembly: A facility or portion thereof, together with its accessory buildings and uses,
where a group of persons of similar beliefs or associations assemble for religious services, social
events, or similar purposes. The term includes, but is not necessarily limited to, churches, temples,
synagogues, mosques, lodge halls, and private clubs.
Recommended Permissions
Staff recommends that Places of Assembly be permitted by right in several Zoning Districts unless
the use is of a certain size (yet to be determined) or includes a certain set of accessory uses, which
could include child care facilities, classrooms, and soup kitchens or meal centers.

Industrial Not Listed Prohibited
Residential (R-1, R-2, R- Not Listed Prohibited
3, R-4)
Accessory uses in this case could include child care facilities, classrooms, and soup kitchens (also
referred to as meal centers). This proposal is consistent with current permissions given to Child
Care Facilities, Adult Day Care Facilities, and Recreational Facilities in the Code. Soup kitchens are
not currently listed.
Therefore, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) would be required for Places of Assembly in several
Zoning Districts when accessory uses are present. This would give the Planning Commission and
City Council the ability to impose conditions on the recommendation of approval in order to
address any areas of concern, which would most likely be associated with traffic, parking, increases
in density, and noise. If an owner applies for a CUP, the Zoning Code states that the Planning
Commission shall make findings and recommendations to the Council based upon any or all of the
following factors (which need not be weighed equally):
1. Demonstrated need for the proposed use
2. Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan of the City
3. Effect upon property values in the neighboring area
4. Effect of any anticipated traffic generation upon the current traffic flow and congestion in
the area*
5. Effect of any increases in population and density upon surrounding land uses*
6. Increase in noise levels to be caused by the proposed use*
7. Any odors, dust, smoke, gas, or vibration to be caused by the proposed use
8. Any increase in flies, rats, or other animals or vermin in the area to be caused by the
proposed use
3
9. Visual appearance of any proposed structure or use
10. Any other effect upon the general public health, safety, and welfare of the City and its
residents
*Factors most associated with Places of Assembly
Summary of Recommendations
Staff is seeking input from the Planning Commission on these concepts. If the Commission agrees
with the majority of the suggested changes, staff will schedule public hearings to review
underlined/overstruck language in the City Code.
