§ 1. Background.  


Latest version.
  • The City's zoning Ordinance currently does not prohibit the use of front, rear or side yards for offstreet parking for single family dwellings. The City Council has authorized a study to be conducted for the purpose of considering an amendment to the city's zoning Ordinance regulating parking in such areas. Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.355, subd. 4, allows the city to adopt an interim Ordinance restricting the use of property during the time that such a study is ongoing. The City Council finds that in order to protect the planning process it is necessary to adopt such an interim Ordinance.
