STANDARDSISITE PLAN APPROVAL
Pro osed Action
Staff recommends th� folInw�ng motion: Move_ to adopt R�solutian 15-42,., appraving
Ordinance 15-1095, amendin� the zoning.ordinance re ag rc�in�performance standards and site
plan approval for first readin�
At the Zoning and Planning rr�eeting Mr. Firth moved and Mr. Hunke seconded a motion to
adppt Resolution RZ15-8, recommending approval of Ordinance 15-109�, amending the zoning
ordinance regarding performance standards ana site plan approval. The nnotion was was
approved unanimously.
Overview
Performance standards regulaie such items as noise, orders, vibrations, etc. A recent case o�
reviewing ti�e performance standards, staff realized that the standards have not been updated for
a least 40 plus years. Since staff uses the Minnesota PollUtion Control Agency (MPCA) for
guidance and expertise on mast of the regulations, it seems that the City should also use their
regulations for the performance sfandard requirements. This ordinance is similar to what
Minnetonka uses for their performa�ce standards.
The ordinance will also amend the site plan approvaI ardinance ta ensure that a development
has sidewalk and trail connections.
