IV.8. Second reading of Ordinance 2019-1143 approving a zoning code text amendment related to the location of Banks and Savings and Loan Institutions; LindahlMEMO
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jason Lindahl, City Planner
Date: November 19, 2019
Subject: Second reading of Ordinance 2019-1143 approving a zoning code text
amendment related to the location of Banks and Savings and Loan
Institutions
Proposed Action
Move to adopt Resolution 2019-093 approving the second reading of Ordinance 2019-1143
amending the City Code related to the location of Banks and Savings and Loan Institutions.
Overview
The applicant, Bank of America on behalf of the owner Frauenshuh Hospitality Group, requests a
zoning code text amendment deleting Section 535.03, Subdivision 2(V) related to the location of
banks and savings and loan institutions. This provision makes these uses a conditional use and
requires they be located in the B-2, Central Business District or on land in another commercial
zoning district that abuts or is only separated by a public right-of-way from the B-2 district.
Removal of this provision is necessary to allow redevelopment of a bank at 510 Blake Road North
as this site does not abut the B-2, Central Business district.
The City Council adopted a motion to approve the first reading of this item on November 4, 2019.
Prior to that action by the City Council, the Planning & Zoning Commission held a public hearing
and recommended the City Council approve of this item on October 22, 2019. Should the City
Council approve the second reading of this ordinance, it would remove the requirement that banks
and savings and loan institutions only be located on sites in or adjacent to the B-2, Central Business
District.
