Council Report 99-227
EXTENSION OF INTERIM ORDINANCE--MORA TORIUM ON
DEMOLITION OF SINGLE FAMILY HOMES
ProDosed Action
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: . Adopt Resolution 99-109. approving the
second reading of Ordinance 99-837. an ordinance extending the interim ordinance regulating and
restricting demolition or removal of single family residential buildings and structures within the
City of Hopkins.
Overview
In December of last year the City Council approved an interim ordinance placing a moratorium on
the demolition or removal of any single family residential building or structure located within
single family residential districts. During this period, staff was directed to complete a study of this
issue and then undertake any necessary ordinance revisions to address the Council concern about
the loss of single family homes.
In November the Council considered a recommendation by the Z & P Commission to establish a
conditional use permit process regulating the expansion of institutional uses within residential
zoning districts with specific conditions concerning the demolition and removal of single family
homes. The Council referred this item back to the Commission.
The Zoning & Planning Commission, at their November meeting, discussed this item. Staff
provided an update on recent discussion the Council had concerning this matter. Staffhas now
been directed to prepare a draft ordinance that would also involve creation of a new zoning
district for institutional uses presently allowed within residential districts. This will be discussed
at their December meeting.
To allow time to draft necessary ordinance changes, staff is requesting a six-month extension of
the moratorium. The ordinance would go into effect 20 days after publication in the official
newspaper.
