RE: REVIEW OF ZONING ORDINANCE UPDATES FILE No: 504 -09147 www.bonestroo.com
At the January 6th joint Planning Commission and City Council meeting we will be
discussing proposed draft commercial, industrial and mixed use districts. Please
review information in the memo, draft ordinances and come prepared to discuss the
drafts, policy topics /issues at the meeting. We are requesting direction on each of
these drafts.
Commercial, Industrial and Mixed Use Districts
Definitions:
As we update the zoning ordinance it will be necessary to update the definition section
(1020.020). In advance of that, some definitions staff is considering regarding
commercial type uses includes the following:
Assisted Living Facility: A facility for the elderly that provides rooms, meals, personal
care, and supervision of self- administered medication; and may provide other
services, such as recreational activities, financial services, and transportation,
appropriate for the residents.
Bed and Breakfast Establishment: A single family dwelling in which four (4) or fewer
transient guest rooms are rented on a nightly basis for periods of less than one (1)
week and where at least one (1) meal is offered in connection with the provision of
sleeping accommodations only.
Hospital: A licensed facility for the hospitalization or care of human beings within the
meaning of Minnesota Statute Chapter 144.50, as may be amended.
Nursing Home: A state licensed facility or that part of a facility which provides nursing
care pursuant to Minnesota Statute Chapter 144A.01.
Places of Assembly. A building, together with its accessory buildings and uses, where
persons regularly assemble for religious, educational, political or social purposes.
Tavern. A building with facilities for the serving of beer, liquor, wine, set -ups, and
short order foods.
1040.090 C -1 Neighborhood Commercial District
The current C -1 Neighborhood Commercial District is currently located on properties
southwest of County Roads 116 and 10, within and across from what is considered
the downtown area. The draft C -1 restates the purpose of this district as truly a
J ,
neighborhood commercial district rather than the one supporting the downtown
commercial. Due to this we are proposing that the City Council and Planning
Commission consider using the new downtown mixed use district (created from the
downtown overlay zone) for the current C -1 zoned areas as its really part of the whole
downtown area. The result will allow the future use of the C -1 district, as a
neighborhood commercial district, that supports and allows smaller retail and service
uses adjacent to and supporting residential areas.
The draft C -1 district has been edited to generalize uses for permitted and conditional
uses. Since a new downtown mixed use district is being created residential and
accessory residential uses have been removed from the C -1. If the area currently
zoned C -1 is replaced by the draft Downtown Mixed Use district it will include
residential. Design intent is also specified so that buildings in the C -1 blend with the
adjacent residential character.
C -2, Community Commercial
This draft is similar to the current C -2 district with generalization of permitted and
conditional uses. The intent of this district is to serve the local and regional retail and
service area that are more dependent on transportation access. Building size limits of
50,000 square feet for grocery stores or big boxes has been removed from the C -2
but maintained in the C -1. However, for the additional height setback increases are
required. With the addition of the residential districts and mixed use districts, any
residential multifamily uses and other supporting residential uses have been removed
from the draft C -2. Assisted Living and nursing homes are included as Conditional
Uses.
CR, Rural Commercial and TCR, Transitional Rural Commercial
These districts are included in the review but have only received minor changes. The
land use map maintained the Rural Service /Commercial land use designation by which
these zoning districts apply. One use that staff has kept in these commercial districts
but not in C -1 and C -2 is the accessory dwelling as an interim use. As the CR and
TCR districts serve a more rural area is there a stronger need to maintain this use
versus in the new sewered commercial areas where mixed use districts will also fill a
residential niche.
Key points /discussion: When reviewing the commercial drafts please consider the
uses, mainly generalization of the uses, do you agree? Please think about the intent
of C -1 as a neighborhood district versus a district for the downtown. Do you agree
with the elimination of accessory dwelling units in C -1 and C -2 while maintaining this
use in CR and TCR districts?
BP, Business Park District
The existing Business Park district was used as the base for creating a draft Business
Park District to match the intent of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Actual uses on the
ground today may not reflect the same intent for a Business District thus a I -1, Light
Industrial district was created that might relate better while saving the new BP district
for truly business park type uses. The updated draft zoning map reflects the change
of existing BP zoned properties to I -1. Uses in BP have been expanded to reflect
more a corporate campus style development, rather than just industrial. As with the
draft commercial districts accessory dwelling units are not included as an interim use
in BP or I -1.
I -1, Light Industrial
The I -1 Light Industrial District is a new district prepared with the intent to expand it
from the draft BP but relate to industrial and manufacturing types of uses. Uses
including mini storage, car lots and outdoor storage are only in I -1 not BP. This new
district is reflected on the draft zoning map.
Keypoints /discussion: Consider intent to create more distinction between I -1 and the
BP district. Do you agree with the difference between uses in these two districts?
1050.040 Downtown Mixed Use District
The 2030 Comprehensive Plan included two Mixed Use areas, one located along
County Road 116 north and south of County Road 10 as the City's downtown and a
second area situated along County Road 30 and 101.
The Downtown Mixed Use district draft was created using the existing Downtown
Overlay District thus converting to a district rather than an overlay. With this change
permitted, conditional and accessory uses were added. Many of these are similar to
C -1 and C -2 with the addition of multifamily as a permitted use. As this district is
specific for the downtown area effort is being made to minimize drive - through lanes
by making them a conditional use, but not including restaurants, to reduce the overall
number and volume where they are installed.
What is most significant in this district is the site, parking, landscaping, and building
design requirements included within the district rather than relying on other areas of
the code. This district uses build -to -lines rather than setbacks to establish the street
edge by requiring building mass closer to the curb with parking to the side or rear.
Much of the text proposed for this district was contained in the overlay and left intact
with some expanded language on building design and permitted materials. The draft
references the existing design guidelines currently in Appendix A of the existing zoning
ordinance (please review). The design guideline section for the downtown area
contains the most information as related to building design thus not as much was
added to the ordinance. With the draft we are not suggesting these be replaced
however during the meeting direction should be provided on whether the design
guidelines should be maintained, updated or revised.
Keypoints /discussion: Consider the approach for this district of converting it from the
existing overlay district. What is your opinion on the Design Guidelines in Appendix A?
3
r
Should we maintain and use them to guide development? Are their changes you
would like to see made to the guidelines?
1050.045 Genera/ Mixed Use
The General Mixed Use district is a completely new mixed use district for the area
guided mixed use along County Road 30. This area is addressed in the design
guidelines in Appendix A with discussion of this area as a gateway and an important
area for mixed use including housing with high quality business park, office,
commercial and residential. The guidelines address streets, parks and public
amenities but do not provide detail on building design. A new district has been
prepared that blends uses of a C -2 and downtown mixed use including housing, but
with specific site and building design criteria to ensure development in this area,
whether its commercial, residential or office is unique and meets the intent of the
Comprehensive Plan and design guidelines. Some of the building design requirements
are similar to downtown but without the more restrictive build -to- lines. In addition,
requirements are more detailed as the design guidelines in Appendix A are not as
comprehensive for this area as they are for the downtown area.
Key points /discussion: Do you agree with the mixed use approach for the County
Road 30 area? Are there any uses you disagree with or think should be added?
Although two new mixed use districts are proposed to create two distinct mixed use
areas of the community we are not suggesting at this time that they replace the
ability to apply for a PUD (currently a distinct zoning district). It is the hope that by
creating special districts for these areas that we are able to accomplish the goals and
achieve quality without the need for a PUD. However, in other areas of the
community, a development may warrant the use of a PUD thus we do not want to
remove that tool.
Key points /discussion: One consideration for discussion of PUD's is to covert them to
a CUP rather than as a specific zoning district.
Requested Action:
Provide staff direction on the proposed commercial, industrial and mixed -use districts
ordinance language and any suggested changes or improvements. Please also
provide guidance on the use of the existing design guidelines. Is there a desire to
maintain, revise or update?

with Ms. Lindahl, we learned that our business idea does not fall within current residential/
commercial zoning ordinances.
I understand the Council is in the process of reviewing and updating the ordinances. The newly
acquired property is zoned residential; I write to request an amendment for commercial use of a
residential property. Please consider this possibility as I explain what I am proposing.
I would like to establish a "Scrapbooking Retreat House." This would be a place where people
who like to scrapbook, craft, quilt, stamp, bead, et cetera, would rent the house for weekend
"retreats" and weekday /night "jam sessions ". People would be asked to provide their own food,
but the house kitchen would be fully outfitted (for food prep, pot -luck, carry -out, even catering).
And weekend retreaters would be provided with overnight accommodations at the house.
Due to the location of the house, more consumers would be brought to the businesses of Corcoran
as people would need to pass through town as they travel to head west on County Road 10. And
being so close to the western suburbs of the Cities, and to the Twin Cities themselves, we believe
that we would be able to entice a number of people to a Corcoran located "Retreat House" — a
quiet country setting and chance to work on their hobby without spending their precious time
driving, like a person has to do for other such retreat locations in Northern Minnesota and
surrounding Wisconsin locations.
The idea for this business is likened to the many retreat houses and locations I have either
experienced or researched. A few locations are homes in heavy residential areas that have been
converted to such businesses; other locations are remodeled houses on the outer blocks of small
towns; others are lone homes built for this purpose on a few or many acres, close to hiking trails or
with their own lake views. Still other retreats take place at hotels or YMCA camp -type properties.
Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to speaking with you further about how to make
this possibility a reality in Corcoran.
Cordially yours,

Kendra,
Here is a quick plan I put together which I believe one would need to provide the minimum humane
conditions for 4 horses on a 5 acre hobby farm.
Hope this helps with your review of the current criteria for Corcoran.

I would like to give my support for reducing the front setbacks ordinance in
my area to 50 ft. We own a home built in 1978 and would like to update the
front of the home. The front door of my home is open to the elements and we
would like to put a roof over the front entry to protect it from the weather and to
dress up the curb appeal. At this time we can not improve our front to our
desire due to the current setback of 60 ft, we would need 55 ft to make the
improvement.
Sincerely,
