Ms. McIntosh explained that before January 2023, the city's zoning code had not been meaningfully updated since the 1960s. In 2019, the city adopted the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and embarked on a major overhaul of the city's zoning (Chapter 35), sign (Chapter 34), and platting (Chapter 15) codes with consultant Bolton & Menk, as these chapters presented significant barriers, difficulties, and confusion in their ease of use and overall accessibility for not only City staff, but residents, business owners, and prospective developers as well. Further, these chapters were out of compliance with state law, opening the city to legal risks. City Staff worked with Bolton & Menk to merge the three chapters into one unified document adopted in January 2023. Ms. McIntosh noted during the adoption process for the city's current Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), City Staff recognized that no UDO is perfect and that updating and writing land use policies is as much an "art" as it is a technical process. Given that the city was attempting to rewrite a 1960s code to address the needs of "now," the updated UDO intended to serve as a robust, living, breathing document that modernizes City land use policies, which can be further revised and evolve over time. Ms. McIntosh explained that City Staff understood that the UDO should be reviewed regularly. In keeping with this, City Staff has identified a number of proposed changes to the UDO. It should be noted that the majority of proposed changes address general cleanup; however, the driver for these amendments at this time is primarily due to the recent update to the Crystal Airport Zoning Ordinance and its adoption and a surge in interested parties wanting to open larger daycares in the city. Also, the new UDO does not cover larger daycare centers. Ms. McIntosh pointed out that a public hearing notice was published in the Brooklyn Center Sun Post on January 25, 2024, and a copy of the notice was published on the City of Brooklyn Center website. Additional notification was sent to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the proposed modifications to the MRCCA Overlay District provisions and the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) for the proposed adoption of the Crystal Airport Zoning Ordinance. Ms. McIntosh explained that the Crystal Joint Airport Zoning Board (JAZB) was formed in 2021 to update Crystal Airport's zoning ordinance, which had not been updated since 1983. Minnesota State Statutes 360.063, Subd. 3(2)(b) requires that "a joint board shall have as members two representatives appointed by the municipality owning or controlling the airport and two from the county or municipality, or in case more than one county or municipality is involved, two from each county or municipality, in which the airport hazard area is located, and in addition a chair is elected 3/11/24 -6- by a majority of the members so appointed." For the Crystal Airport, these member cities included Crystal, Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, New Hope, Minneapolis, Robbinsdale, and the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC). Ms. McIntosh noted the Joint Airport Zoning Board convened numerous times between October 2021 and November 2023 to develop an updated airport zoning ordinance that would achieve a reasonable level of safety while considering compatible community development and social and economic costs of redistricting land uses. This ordinance was also crafted in response to improvements made at the Crystal Airport in 2020, including lengthening the main runway, converting the parallel runway to a parallel taxiway, and shortening the turf runway. Ms. McIntosh stated a public comment period commenced on April 4, 2023, and closed on May 3, 2023. During this time, a draft copy of the Crystal Airport Zoning Ordinance was made available to the general public at Brooklyn Center City Hall and on the city's website, and the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) mailed notices to those affected parcels and property owners. A public hearing and open house were held on April 19, 2023, at the Crystal Community Center in Crystal, Minnesota, in which 44 people were present, 25 of whom were members of the public. On June 15, 2023, the Joint Airport Zoning Board elected to submit the draft Airport Zoning Ordinance to the MnDOT Commission of Transportation for review and approval. On September 24, 2023, the Joint Airport Zoning Board received notice that the Crystal Airport Zoning Ordinance was approved. On November 8, 2023, the Crystal Joint Airport Zoning Board met and considered the Commissioner's Order, the draft Airport Zoning Ordinance approved by the Commissioner, and the Final Statement of Legal Authority, Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order. Ultimately, the JAZB elected to approve the abovementioned documents, understanding that each municipality would need to incorporate the new Crystal Airport Zoning Ordinance into their respective zoning ordinances and update their official zoning map to reflect the new airport zones. Ms. McIntosh explained that following a discussion with the City Attorney, City Staff agreed to create a new overlay district within Chapter 35 of the City Code. The major change would be adopting the new Ordinance as an appendix. The new Ordinance would create height restrictions and restrictions on uses that create or cause interference with the operations of radio or electronic facilities. There would also be height restrictions to prevent projection into the Airport's airspace surface. Also, there are provisions for existing, new, and nonconforming structures and maximum allowable heights. Ms. McIntosh noted fence permits are required before any fencing installation. These requirements ensure fences are installed in compliance with the city's regulations regarding materials, height, and setbacks off property lines. Before January 2023, the city did not have a fence permitting process. As requested, the identified amendments would clarify when permits are required and the specific requirements in the residential, Business Mixed-Use (MX-B), and General Industry (I) Districts. Additional language has been added regarding addressing potential visual obstructions and vehicle queuing in the right-of-way. 3/11/24 -7- Ms. McIntosh pointed out that when Chapter 35 was adopted in January 2023, accommodations were made to allow residents who drive commercial vehicles and reside in the R1 or R2 District to park their vehicles at their residence, subject to specific requirements. As one of the requirements outlines restrictions to the dimensions of a commercial vehicle, City Staff initially proposed a definition that followed the Minnesota Department of Transportation's vehicle classification scheme. However, this has proven difficult to utilize and fails to capture some vehicles. City staff thought options for parking should be afforded. Ms. McIntosh stated that although City Staff had wholly intended and noticed the proposed changes to this section, City Staff would require additional time to work through the current language in Chapter 35 and the additional language found in Chapter. The provided amendment language contains some light cleanup under Section 35-4402 but otherwise remains the same. Ms. McIntosh added following the adoption of the new Chapter 35 in January 2023; City Staff noted that a provision regarding a minimum 18-foot width and depth requirement for primary dwellings in the R1 and R2 District, which had been in place for decades, was no longer in the document. City Staff requests language regarding minimum width and depth requirements for a dwelling in the R1 and R2 Districts be re-introduced to Sections 35-2201, 35-2202, and 35-5501. Ms. McIntosh stated the adoption of the new Chapter 35 also introduced two new overlay districts: MRCCA (Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area) and Shoreland. MRCCA was adopted pursuant to certain authorizations and policies contained in Minnesota State Statutes, Chapter 116G, Minnesota Rules, Parts 6106.0010-6106.0180, and the planning and zoning enabling legislation in Minnesota Statutes, Chapters 462 and 473. Ms. McIntosh noted the Legislature of Minnesota delegated responsibility to local governments of the State to regulate the subdivision, use, and development of designated critical areas and thus preserve and enhance the quality of important historic, cultural, aesthetic values, and natural systems, and provide for the wise use of these areas. Ms. McIntosh added similarly, that the Shoreland Ordinance regulations adopted by the City of Brooklyn Center serve as an important land use regulation to help protect surface water quality, near shore habitat, and shoreland aesthetics. In utilizing the new Unified Development Ordinance, City Staff determined that the only definition for "height" was the definition provided by the DNR which defines the "height of the structure." Ms. McIntosh stated City Staff debated creating another definition for height for those parcels located outside the MRCCA Overlay District; however, with the requested adoption of the Crystal Airport Zoning Ordinance, which also contains a definition for height, this would have resulted in three different definitions of "height." City Staff is requesting the removal of the language "average height of" as there have been a couple of occasions now where, despite the maximum height of a detached accessory structure being 16 feet, plans for detached garages have resulted in garages that are, in fact, taller than 16 feet, but meet the requirements by definition due to the "average height" language. With the requested removal of the "average height" language from the definition 3/11/24 -8- for "height of the structure," City Staff is also requesting that the maximum height provisions for principal structures located in the R1 and R2 Districts be modified from 25 feet to 32 feet. Ms. McIntosh noted City Staff also requested an amendment to the outlined density range within Section 35-2203. The current density range provided for in the R3 District is 3 -10 dwelling units per acre. However, Section 35-5100 provides for a density range of five to 15 dwelling units per acre for the R3 District. In reviewing the density ranges for the surrounding zoning districts, and the density ranges identified in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan future land use designations, City Staff believes the adjustment to five to 15 dwelling units per acre is supported. Ms. McIntosh explained in the process of updating the city's zoning code provisions to the new Chapter 35, nonconformity provisions were included under Sections 35-3101, 35-3103, and 35- 6300. However, no general provisions for nonconformities were provided for elsewhere in Chapter 35. Although nonconformity provisions are outlined within Section 462.357 of the Minnesota State Statutes, City Staff wanted clear language referenced within Chapter 35. Following discussions with the City Attorney, language was crafted under a new section that outlines potential scenarios and how each situation should be handled in the case of an existing nonconformity. There would also be an amendment to Section 3101.k.1.E for the removal of assessor language. Ms. McIntosh added City Staff is requesting changes to the language currentl y outlined under Section 35-7500 specifically in instances where a notification sign is to be installed in advance of a scheduled public hearing. Currently, Section 35-7504 dictates that a sign shall be installed in cases where a proposal will result in a district boundary change of five acres or more. City Staff is recommending that notification signage be installed whenever there is a proposed re -zoning. Installation of a public notice sign is already required for construction or major alteration of the structure, except one and two-family dwellings, and buildings accessory thereto. Ms. McIntosh pointed out the current provisions stipulate that the property owner of a subject property under review as part of the Planning Commission application install said public notice sign with content to be approved by the City's Zoning Administrator. City Staff is requesting that this language be altered as the city has purchased heavy-duty metal signs with the language "Development Proposal Under Review" and contact information for the City's Community Development Department. Ms. McIntosh stated following the adoption of the new Chapter 35, Staff became aware that the provisions outlined for daycares did not account for larger daycares. City Staff is requesting a new use category be added to Section 35-4103, which would allow for licensed daycare facilities in the R3, R4, R5, MX-N1, MX-N2, MX-C, and TOD Districts through approval of a conditional use permit or CUP. Larger daycares would also be permitted through the issuance of, or amendment to, a conditional use permit for places of religious assembly and public and private elementary and secondary schools in the R1 and R2 District. Ms. McIntosh noted that as proposed, the requirements outlined for licensed day care facilities under Section 35-4302 (c) would also be updated to align with Minnesota State Statute requirements outlined under Chapter 245A and Minnesota Rules Chapter 9502. Additional 3/11/24 -9- requirements are outlined to restrict the size of a licensed daycare to allowable occupancies the availability of parking, and the location of pick-up and drop-off areas. Ms. McIntosh pointed out that per Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.357, subdivision 7, and with limited exceptions, a State-licensed residential facility serving 6 or fewer persons, often referred to as group homes, is considered a permitted single-family residential use of property. In reviewing Section 35-4103, Staff noticed that the maximum occupancies of Licensed Residential Facilities did not align with either the city's allowable density range for certain zoning districts or the city's 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, City Staff is requesting the table be updated to remove the "Licensed Residential Facility (six and fewer persons)" use from the R4, MX-N1, MX-N2, and TOD Districts, as the allowable density ranges conflict with and do not align with the use. There is also a request for the addition of the use to the R3District. Ms. McIntosh added the City of Brooklyn Center has historically been extremely restrictive with allowing massage and sauna establishments. Under the city's old zoning code, "sauna establishments and massage establishments, provided they do not abut any residential district, including abutment at a street line," were allowed in the C2 District by the issuance of a special use permit only. In the Central Commerce Overlay District, which was retired as part of the adoption of the new Unified Development Ordinance in January 2023, sauna and massage establishments were outright prohibited within this overlay district. As the majority of C2 properties were located within the Central Commerce Overlay District, this effectively prohibited the establishment of one in the city. Further, Brooklyn Center's current massage establishment licensure provisions and fees, as outlined under Chapter 23 of the City Code, make it difficult to establish a massage business in the city and when comparing the use regulations and licensing fees in other neighboring cities. Ms. McIntosh noted although the city's new UDO does allow for "sauna and massage establishments" as an accessory use in the MX-N2, MX-C, TOD, and C Districts, this again makes it difficult for someone to establish a business in the city as use must be "incidental and subordinate to the principal use on the same lot." Most recently, a business owner was looking to expand their business in the city with a float spa and massage establishment; however, due to the accessory use restrictions, the business owner was looking at other cities that allowed for the use and who had lower annual licensing fees. Ms. McIntosh explained as a comparison, in addition to the allowance of massage and sauna establishments as an accessory use only, the city's annual licensing fee for a massage establishment is $3,000, with an investigation fee of $1,500, and additional fees for masseurs/masseuses and their individual investigation fee. It is thousands of dollars more affordable in neighboring cities. Although City staff understand potential concerns regarding the operations of massage establishments, the city should potentially look at revisions to the licensure process to not only make the city competitive with other cities by reviewing the fees as compared to surrounding cities but also other methods of ensuring the city has quality massage and sauna establishments. Such changes could potentially include placing a maximum cap on the number of licenses in the city, which would be addressed through licensing. Ms. McIntosh stated the Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 8, 2024 , 3/11/24 -10- regarding the requested amendments. No comments or questions were relayed to City Staff in advance of the public hearing. A few members of the general public were present virtually for the meeting but presented no concerns regarding the outlined amendments. One resident had general questions regarding the fence permitting process. The Commissioners engaged in discussion of the Crystal Airport Zoning Ordinance approval process and some direction City staff was seeking regarding the proposed new primary structure height maximums in the R1, R2, and MRCCA RN Districts. Ms. McIntosh explained as proposed, City Staff recommended the height maximums ad just from 25 feet to 30 feet; however, City Staff was also amenable to allowing for up to 32 feet. Conversation was held regarding how height is calculated and certain assumptions for a typical home and the Commissioners appeared to be generally supportive of offering greater flexibility to residents at the 32-foot height maximum. Following the close of the public hearing, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended the City Council approval of the requested amendments. Councilmember Jerzak noted there wasn't a previous permitting process for fences. He suggested Staff engage with the community on the subject. Also, the proposed fence portion of the Ordinance is problematic due to the orientation and material components. He asked how the Staff would determine what is in "good condition" per the Ordinance, noting it was subjective. Plus, treated wood warps and might not be considered "good" by all people. He added he would not support the fence portion of the proposed changes. Ms. McIntosh pointed out that the orientation of the fence and the material requirements for the fence is already in the Code. There was clarification added for certain Districts' needs. The section Councilmember Jerzak was referring to is just being renumbered. The council has the option to request language changes, but that is not the proposal before the council currently. Councilmember Jerzak requested the item returned to the council for further consideration. Councilmember Kragness thanked Staff for their work and noted the amount of work the revisions would have taken. Councilmember Jerzak asked if Ms. McIntosh believes the parking restrictions are understandable and enforceable. Many community members do not have a place to park their work vehicles and they often resort to parking in public lots. Ms. McIntosh explained the first attempt was intended to be a total rewrite and to remove the language borrowed from the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Staff ran into the issue with Chapter 19 and supremacy, and they need to return to the language and disentangle it. Councilmember Jerzak pointed out community members may be on-call for their jobs and need to access their vans or trucks. He requested that Staff reconsider the parking portion of the UDO. Councilmember Jerzak stated he would feel comfortable voting on time-sensitive matters, but he would not vote in favor of the parking and commercial vehicle portion until further review is done. He asked if Chapter 19 revisions would address the concerns. Mr. Hill agreed Councilmember 3/11/24 -11 - Jerzak's concerns can be addressed at a later date. The document is intended to be changed as needed over time. Ms. McIntosh stated the fence impacts are minimal in the proposed action. She noted she is open to further discussion about the fences with the City Attorney, inspectors, and other interested parties. Councilmember Kragness asked which portion of the proposal is time-sensitive. Ms. McIntosh explained the document from the 1960s was updated in January 2023. However, the Staff is still trying to clean up the language. The Crystal Airport, daycares, and height requirements for upcoming developments are all time-sensitive. Councilmember Jerzak stated enforcement tends to be reasonable and fair. He trusts Staff will act in good faith, though the changes are confusing. Councilmember Butler moved and Councilmember Jerzak seconded to approve the second reading and adopt ORDINANCE NO. 2024-01, an ordinance amending Chapter 35 of the City Code of Ordinances regarding the Crystal Airport Zoning Ordinance, fence permits and standards, commercial vehicle standards, dimensional and structural standards in the R1, R2, R3, and R4 zoning districts, nonconforming structures and uses, public notice sign requirements, and use amendments for licensed daycares, licensed group family daycares, licensed residential facilities, and massage and sauna establishments. Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Butler moved and Councilmember Kragness seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2024-38, a resolution for summary publication of the aforementioned ordinance amendments in the Brooklyn Center Sun Post. Motion passed unanimously. 10. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS None. 11. COUNCIL REPORT Councilmember Butler asked for Staff to calculate how much money the city has saved due to less salting and its impact on the next year's budget. Mayor Pro Tem Lawrence-Anderson pointed out there was an article in the Star Tribune regarding how the Minnesota Department of Transportation plans to store their excess salt. Dr. Edwards confirmed he would gather the information to report back to the council. 3/11/24 -12- 12. ADJOURNMENT Councilmember Butler moved and Councilmember Kragness seconded the adjournment of the City Council meeting at 7: 54 p.m. Motion passed unanimously.
