Memo- Single Family Housing Demolition Moratorium
e PLANNING &
ECONONUCDEVELOPMENT
Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jim Kerrigan, Planning & Economic Development Director
Date: February 4, 1999
Subject: Single Family Housing Demolition Moratorium
At the January 4 Council meeting, a contract was approved with Hoisington Koegler
Group, Inc., to undertake a study of the above matter. As part of the discussion on this
matter, staff stated that, based on previous dialogue with the City Council, it was their
understanding that the purpose of the study was to look at strengthening local
ordinances and policies to ensure that the Council has sufficient review authority on
any activities that involve the demolition of single family homes in single family
. residential districts. A few Council members stated they would like to discuss what they
felt should be accomplished through this effort at an upcoming work session. As a
result, staff has scheduled this item on the February 9 work session agenda.
As part of the discussion at the February 9 meeting, staff would also propose to present
the research that has been completed to date. This discussion will also include a
summary of the various possible methods that could be undertaken to address this
issue. Seven different alternatives have now been identified, which range from doing
nothing to an outright ban on the removal of any single family homes.
Attached is a memo from Hoisington Koegler, which provides background for the
Council on this discussion. Fred Hoisington and Jerry Steiner will also be present at
the work session.

. Approach 4
Sub options
a) Parking by CUP in R-l
b) Any new or expansion by CUP in R-l with specific requirements
c) Any new or expansion requires both a CUP with specific requirements and a rezoning
(assumes the creation of an exclusive zoning district for institutional uses)
Possible CUP Requirements - Approach 4
Conditional Uses Within R Districts
a) Institutional uses (including both those that do or do not take single-family homes)
provided as follows:
I) Setbacks/buffering/landscaping abutting residential uses
2) Traffic/residential street impacts
. 3) No removal of single-family homes in R-l District unless... (provide leeway based
on housing condition, no or minimal neighborhood integrity impacts. sensitivity
with which neighborhood is buffered and/or architecture is compatible and in scale
with adjoining homes (residential in scale and appearance) housing replacement,
demonstrated exploration of full-range of options, etc.l
4) Lighting impacts abutting residential uses
5) Noise impacts abutting residential uses
6) Drainage impacts
71 Sewer and water capacity
81 Neighborhood/architectural compatibility (will have to describe what this means I
9) Consistency with comprehensive plan
10) Support of project by majority of Board or organization requesting CUP
II) Meeting with immediately effected neighbors
e
NOTE: City Attorney would review all conditions concerning legality - they need to
address health, weUare and safety
Evaluation of Approaches .
Hopkins Single-Family Preservation
Approach
1. No change
Pros Cons
. City needs do nothing . Risk loss of single-family homes
. No legal issues . Risk neighborhood integrity impacts
. City need not decide every issue - Does not address concern for loss of
single-family homes
2. Limited Policy Guidance
Pros Cons e
. Simple policy reinforcement - No teeth - some single-family
. No legal issues homes will be lost
. City need not decide every issue - Risk neighborhood integrity impacts
3. Prohibit Single-Family Loss
Pros Cons
. No single-family loss . Eliminates flexibility
. City Controls . Uses cannot expand
. Neighborhood integrity maintained - Potential for inverse condemnation
claims/cost to City
- Would have to develop rational for
prohibition
. Could prevent a "desirable" project
from moving forward
It
. 4. Control Loss - Zoning and/or CUP Requirements
Pros Cons
. Maintains flexibility . City must decide/interpret every
. Uses can expand if meet CUP Issue
requirements - Loss of single-family homes possible
- City controls - can approve or deny - Need to develop consensus on
based on compliance with "acceptable conditions"
requirements
- Creates method of "measuring"
compliance
. Legally permissible
. Neighborhood integrity maintained
5. Control Loss - Exclusive Zoning District Only
Pros Cons
. Uses can expand/single-family - Sites need to be rezoned - could
homes lost only if rezoned entail down-zoning
. . City controls (requires four-votes) . No established measuring stick
- Legally permissible (could be arbitrary)
. Neighborhood integrity maintained . City must decide/interpret every
issue
- Only rezoning provides flexibility
- Requires four-votes (difficult to get)
6. No Net Loss - Ordinance Chapter Applies to Single-Family Loss!
Replacement (could be combined with Approach 4)
Pros Cons
- No absolute single-family loss - Complicated
. Uses can expand if no net loss - May be no place to compensate for
. City controls loss of existing housing
. City may need to playa replacement
role
. Potential for legal challenge
- Risk neighborhood integrity impacts
unless combined with Approach 4
- Difficult to require replacement as
e there are limited single-family lots in
City
2
7. No Loss to New or Major Expansions/CUP Requirements for Minor .
Expansions/Public Uses Permitted in Commercial and Industrial Districts
Pros Cons
- Limits potential for loss to minor - Loss of single-family homes possible
expansions - May reduce tax capacity {non-
. City controls taxable uses in commercial and
- Legally permissible industrial districts}
- Maintains flexibility . City must decide/interpret expansion
- Uses can expand if meet CUP Issues
requirements - Need to define major vs. minor
- Creates method of measuring expansions
compliance
. Neighborhood integrity maintained

From: Jay Strachota, Facilities Manager
Date: 02/03/99

to become familiar with the policy and terminology of the policy before it goes to a Council
meeting for approval.

Alcohol Servers Policy
Arts Center Policy #
I. PURPOS E
1.0] The purpose of this directive is to set forth policies for alcohol service at the
Hopkins Center for the Arts (HCA).
1.02 These policies are intended to assure compliance with all Federal. State and
Municipal laws and ordinances regarding alcohol service at the HCA.
1.03 While other legal options may exist for ability to serve alcohol at the HCA, this
policy intentionally limits the options available in regards to alcohol service to
control legal compliance and administrative costs.
II. GENERAL
2.0] All organizations/Individuals serving alcohol must follow the established HCA
Alcohol Policy that is included in the rental packet.
2.02 All Renting Organizations/Individuals and liquor caterers distributing ancl/or

Direct Monetary Exchange Paying an alcohol server cash for an alcoholic beverage.

the alcohol service so the patron makes no direct exchange to the server.
Implied Monetary Exchange - This exchange takes place when the public or guests are
invited to an event in which the expectation o[the event sponsoring group/individual is
