ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT — BED AND BREAKFAST
Proposed Action
Staff recommends the following motion: Adopt Resolution 08-36, approving Ordinance 08-
1000, adopting an ordinance to allow a bed and breakfast use in the residential and business
districts for first reading.
At the Zoning and Planning meeting Mr. Jenny moved and Mr. Beddor seconded a motion to
adopt Resolution RZ08-1, recommending approval of Ordinance 08-1000, adopting an
ordinance to allow a bed and breakfast use in the residential and business districts. The motion
was approved unanimously.
Overview
Staff was asked to explore the possibility of adding a Bed and Breakfast use in Hopkins.
Currently we do not allow bed and breakfasts within Hopkins. The staff drafted an ordinance
to allow bed and breakfasts in the residential and business districts. The Planning Commission
reviewed the proposed ordinance at various meetings.
The proposed ordinance will allow bed and breakfasts as a conditional use within the R-1
districts and the B-3 business district.

• What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Ms. Anderson reviewed the proposed ordinance. The Commission favors approval of the
proposed ordinance. No one appeared at the public hearing regarding this item.
Alternatives
1. Approve the amendment to the zoning ordinance. By recommending approval of the
amendment to the zoning ordinance, the use of bed and breakfast will be allowed within the
City.
2. Deny the amendment to the zoning ordinance. By denying of the amendment to the zoning
ordinance, the use of bed and breakfast will not be allowed within the City. If the City
Council considers this alternative, findings will have to be identified that support this
alternative.
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further information is
needed, the item should be continued.
