Ordinances were obtained from the cities of Hugo, Lino Lakes, Mahtomedi, and Woodbury and used to draft the attached ordinance. At their May 25 work session, the City Council supported the proposed code amendment and directed staff to post it on the city’s web page and bring it to the June 8, 2021 meeting for formal adoption. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council amend Chapter 13 – Offenses – Miscellaneous to add Article 5 – Targeted Picketing in Residential Neighborhoods. CITY COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED It is requested that the City Council waive reading and adopt Ordinance xxx, Amending Chapter 13 – Offenses – Miscellaneous to add Article 5 – Targeted Picketing in Residential Neighborhoods.  CITY OF OAKDALE ORDINANCE xxx AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES FOR THE CITY OF OAKDALE, CHAPTER 13 – OFFENSES – MISCELLANEOUS, TO ADD ARTICLE 5 – TARGETED PICKETING IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. The City Council of the City of Oakdale ordains: Section 1. The Oakdale Code of Ordinances, Chapter 13, is amended to add Article 5 as follows: Sec. 13-19. Definitions. The following words and terms, when used in this Article, shall have the following meanings unless the context clearly indicates otherwise: (a) "Targeted Residential Picketing" shall mean: (1) Marching, standing, or patrolling by one or more persons directed solely at a particular residential building in a manner that adversely affects the safety, security, or privacy of an occupant of the building; or (2) Marching, standing, or patrolling by one or more persons which prevents an occupant of a residential building from gaining access to or exiting from the property on which the residential building is located; or (3) Standing, marching, patrolling or picketing by one or more persons focused in front of or adjacent to a particular residential dwelling without the consent of that dwelling's occupants. Sec. 13-20. Purpose. The city has an interest in safeguarding the right of Oakdale residents to enjoy, in their home and dwelling, a feeling of wellbeing, tranquility, and privacy. The City Council finds that targeted residential picketing in front of or about a residential dwelling causes emotional distress to the dwelling occupant(s), obstructs and interferes with the free use of the public right-of-ways, and has, as its object, the harassment of the dwelling occupant(s). The City Council further finds that, without resorting to targeted residential picketing, ample opportunities exist for those otherwise engaged in targeted residential picketing to exercise constitutionally protected freedom of speech and expression. Sec. 13.21. Prohibited Activity. No person shall engage in targeted residential picketing within the city. Sec. 13.22 Violation. Any person who engages in targeted residential picketing within the city is guilty of a misdemeanor. Section 2. This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force from and after its adoption and publication, as provided by law. __________________________________ Paul Reinke, Mayor  AYES: NAYS: Adopted this 8th day of June, 2021 by the Oakdale City Council. Attest: _____________________________________ Susan Barry, City Clerk Publish: June 12, 2021  REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Meeting Date: June 8, 2021 Advisory Board/Commission ☐ Open Forum ☐ DH Approval: BB Award of Bid ☐ Other: ☐ ☐ CA Approval: CV Consensus Motions b ☒ Public Hearing Department: ☐ Title: Authorize Agreement with MBRB (Metro Bowhunters Resource Base) for 2021 hunt BACKGROUND Over the years, the city has been receiving complaints regarding the growing deer population in several neighborhoods within the community. The primary homeowner complaint involves the damage caused by deer destroying gardens, yards, and landscaping areas. The initial response of the city involved educating residents who may be enticing deer into the neighborhood. This approach didn’t appear to be effective as some parties continue to put out food or salt blocks. As such, over the last 17 years, the city has contracted with a bow-hunting group to control the deer population. The arrangement has been effective in that 230 deer have been harvested since the city began the hunts; while at the same time there have been no claims of property damage or injury. It would therefore be appropriate for the Council to consider renewing the agreement with an entity that controls deer populations through restricted hunts. The overall objective is to protect the public health, safety, and welfare by controlling the deer population to: • Reduce damage to private property • Reduce the occurrence of vehicle accidents with deer • Reduce the likelihood of contracting Lyme disease through deer ticks FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS There is no cost associated with the program, other than those associated with preparing the parking permits for the hunters to post on their dashboards. STAFF AND/OR BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the deer population be controlled by authorizing an exclusive deer hunt with the Metro Bowhunters Resource Base (MBRB), subject to the following conditions: 1. Compliance with Special Archery Deer Hunt Rules (attached). 2. Exemption from Oakdale City Code Section 13-06 (unlawful discharge of a weapon) and Section 13-15 (target ranges): Sec. 13-6. Unlawful Discharge. (a) Except as hereinafter provided, no person shall discharge a firearm of any kind, bow and arrow, air gun, BB gun, pellet gun, spud gun, sling shot or any similar device for the propulsion of shots or metal pellets by means of compressed air, gas, or  mechanical spring action within the city, for any purpose whatsoever, unless such discharge is specifically permitted under Section 13-7. Sec. 13-15. Target Ranges. (a) Public Defined. A public target range shall be defined as an area for the discharge of weapons for sport under controlled conditions. Such area to be privately owned but open to the public and for the use of which a fee is charged. (b) Private Defined. A private target range shall be defined as an area for the discharge of weapons for sport, which area and the use thereof is controlled by a club or association and except for special events, said use is limited to members of the club or association. (c) Permits. The City Council is hereby authorized to issue permits for the operation and maintenance of public and private target ranges. Said permit may be issued upon application and payment of an annual fee determined by the City Council; provided, however, that the City Council and Chief of Police shall have first visited the site and provided further that the City Council shall determine that the use will not constitute a hazard to the health, safety or general welfare of the public or otherwise pose a nuisance. (d) Regulations. The City Council shall prescribe rules and regulations for the construction and operation of target ranges, including proof of public liability insurance, and may cancel or refuse to renew a permit for violation of such rules and regulations. (e) Bow and Arrow Ranges. The City Council may designate one or more bow and arrow target ranges in any city park or on other public property if it first determines that such use will not constitute a hazard to the health, safety or general welfare of the public or otherwise pose a nuisance. Prior to designating any such bow and arrow target range, the City Council shall also prescribe rules and regulations for the construction, maintenance and operation thereof. The sites identified on the attached map were developed through a combination of researching where there have been deer/vehicle accidents, where property owners have requested assistance in controlling the deer populations on their property, and where the City Council has approved hunting in previous years. CITY COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED It is recommended the Council waive reading and adopt Resolution 2021-xxx, Authorizing the Mayor and City Administrator to enter into an agreement with the MBRB and also exempting Sections 13-6 (a) and 13-15 (a-e) of the City Code.  City of Oakdale RESOLUTION 2021-xxx AUTHORIZING THE 2021 AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF OAKDALE AND THE METRO BOWHUNTER’S RESOURCE BASE (MBRB) AND APPROVING EXEMPTIONS TO CHAPTER 13, SECTIONS 13-06(A) AND 13-15 (A-E) OF THE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES. At a meeting of the City Council of the City of Oakdale, held on Tuesday, June 8, 2021, at Oakdale City Hall, 1584 Hadley Avenue, Oakdale, Minnesota, with the following members present: Mayor Paul Reinke, Council Members Jake Ingebrigtson, Susan Olson, Colleen Swedberg, and Kevin Zabel, and the following absent: none, the Oakdale City Council resolved: WHEREAS, the City has made continual attempts to dissuade residents from feeding deer; and WHEREAS, in order to reduce damage from deer to private property, reduce the occurrence of vehicle accidents involving deer, and to reduce the likelihood of the spread of Lyme disease, it is recommended that the deer population be controlled by authorizing an exclusive hunt; and WHEREAS, as in the past, said hunt will be conducted by the Metro Bowhunter’s Resource Base (MBRB), at no cost to the City. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Oakdale hereby authorizes entering into an agreement with the Metro Bowhunter’s Resource Base (MBRB) to allow for an exclusive deer hunt in the City. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Oakdale hereby allows exemptions to 13-6(a) – Unlawful Discharge, and 13-15 (a-e) of the Oakdale Code of Ordinances to allow said hunt.

Covid Recovery Business Assistance Ms. Graffunder-Bartels provided latest data on the Paycheck Protection Program (PPE) as well as county and city loans. Detailed information included in packets outlining businesses and assistance they received. At least 384 loans were given to Oakdale businesses totaling over $69 million. PPE is run through the Small Business Administration (SPA) and provides small business loans less than $150,000 and larger loans over $150,000. Approximately 30% of Oakdale businesses received assistance with 127 small loans and 98 large loans. Top industries to receive PPE were Healthcare, Professional Scientific & Technical Services and Food/Drink industries. Economic Growth and Housing Needs Presentation by Ms. Graffunder-Bartels on the connection between local development and the need for affordable housing. Additional information provided in packets. In response to Commissioner Severson’s questions where data was gathered for the pay and housing affordability, Ms. Graffunder-Bartels replied information about industries and wages is from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages and can be accessed through the MN Department of Economic Development. Rent data provided by HUD fair market rent in this specific locality and information regarding monthly cost of homes is based on average market value from county and working out a 30 year mortgage at 3% interest with a down payment. In response to Commissioner Livingston’s question if Willowbrook will have affordable housing, Ms. Graffunder-Bartels responded the development will include townhomes, single and multi-family homes. The single family home will be higher priced and would not be affordable for lower wage earners. Economic Development Commission Minutes May 5, 2021 Page Four Mr. Streeter commented that Willowbrook does not have plans for affordable housing. Oakdale does not have a requirement that affordable housing be offered but developers could go through public sector agencies to request public participation for affordable housing. Lennar Homes will be listed between $285,000-500,000 and new construction rents are typically higher than existing. In response to Commissioner Livingston’s question regarding what the impact would be if minimum wage were raised, Mr. Streetar commented that usually if wages go up, prices go up. 94% of workers in Oakdale do not live in Oakdale. It is not uncommon for suburbs to find it difficult to find labor. In response to Commissioner Severson’s question if Average Annual Income listed on chart was for individuals or households, Ms. Graffunder-Bartels replied it is individual income. Commissioner Lewis asked if there are any studies that show how much of an effect it would have for companies to invest in Oakdale if there were a city-wide mandate for a percentage of future housing projects to be affordable. Ms. Graffunder-Bartels is not aware of any studies. Mr. Streetar commented if there is affordable housing for potential Oakdale workers, it would make Oakdale more competitive. A lack of affordable housing has been an issue for suburbs for years but Cities can address this issue through land use policies, participating financially or acting as fiduciaries for other funders. In response to Commissioner Burns’ question regarding how long will it take for statistics to catch up with how many people work from home now due to Covid restrictions, Mr. Streetar stated that most of the businesses listed in chart are services businesses but will watch for future trends. Ms. Graffunder-Bartels noted the Economic Trends publication has had articles regarding comparisons of pre-pandemic to now. There might be an impact for businesses without person to person contact. Commissioner Stafford commented that rent for a one bedroom apartment at Briar Pond Apartments in Oakdale is $919 per month. They are subsidized by Washington County HRA. The average regular market rate in the twin cities, without subsidizing, is closer to $1200. More subsidized housing should be offered to attract more technical career workers to Oakdale. COMMISSIONER UPDATES Commissioner Stiglich mentioned there is a lot of interest for new office space. Commissioner Burns stated the CCEFS (Food Shelf) has a Grand Opening on May 11 at 11:00am for their new satellite location in Oakdale’s north end. This satellite was designed by an employee who visited an Australian model and thought it would work well here. There are very few in the USA. It is designed for people to get their staples and be in and out in 5- 10 minutes. Economic Development Commission Minutes May 5, 2021 Page Five Commissioner Koep mentioned the next OACC meeting is Wednesday, May 6 at 11:30. The speaker will be Chris Swanson, Mayor of Two Harbors and multiple business owner. Councilmember Swedberg reminded board of the joint meeting May 18, 5pm at the Discovery Center. Mr. Streetar provided updates on the following: • Willowbrook Development will begin work after May 25. Council is reviewing the master development agreement. Development will include two Lennar out lots in the southeast corner with Carriage Townhomes and Villa homes. Details on city website. • Continental Development is planning a 280 Townhome style gated community. Applications go to council in May. In total, 349 housing units will begin development this summer with plans to complete end of 2022 or summer 2023. • Plans for new road design for 40th Street will begin spring of 2022. • United Properties, representing Slumberland, will begin their 300,000 sq. ft. development this summer. • Updates in process for the Bike and Pedestrian Plan. More details to follow. Ms. Graffunder-Bartels asked that anyone wishing to attend the joint meeting, R.S.V.P. to Sue Barry by May 12. NEXT COMMISSION MEETING The next Economic Development Commission meeting is scheduled for June 2, 2021 at 5:15pm. Ms. Graffunder-Bartels stated it is possible to hold the meeting in person in Council Chamber if decided.

The four buildings on the campus comprise a total of approximately 550,000 square feet and house a number of office and research and development companies. There are nearly 65 acres remaining to be developed – approximately 50 acres in the west expansion area and 15 acres in the east expansion area. Slumberland, the property owner, and United Properties (“the developer”) are requesting a Planned Unit Development zoning ordinance amendment to permit additional uses on a portion of the west expansion area of the 4Front Technology and Office Campus in order to facilitate up to 310,000 square feet of new construction. The developer is requesting that two new uses, Light Manufacturing and Office-showroom/Office-warehouse, be allowed in addition to the currently allowed Office and Research and Development uses on Parcel A in the northwest corner of the site adjacent to I-694. A request for an ordinance amendment is evaluated by how well it achieves the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, consistency with other provisions in the zoning ordinance, compatibility with adjacent land uses, and infrastructure capacity (roads, water, sewer, and storm sewer). The draft ordinance amendment defines the area where the amendment applies (Parcel A), articulates the goals and purpose of the area, defines what terms and uses mean, and outlines the permitted and prohibited uses. The City Council reviewed the draft ordinance at a work session on April 13, 2021. If the ordinance amendment is approved, the developer will need to submit an application for site plan review (reviewed by the Planning Commission with final approval by the City Council) prior to any development on the site. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission reviewed the request and held a public hearing on May 6, 2021. The Planning Commission determined that the ordinance amendment to allow Light Manufacturing and Office-showroom/Office-warehouse uses on Parcel A is consistent with the goals and intent of the Comprehensive Plan, those uses will be compatible with surrounding land uses, and there is sufficient infrastructure to serve the proposed development. The Planning Commission unanimously (7-0) recommended approval of the Planned Unit Development ordinance amendment. CITY COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Waive reading and adopt Ordinance XXX. Amend the 3M/Imation Planned Unit Development Agreement and concept plan to designate four areas in the west expansion area for future development and establish the purpose and uses for the 4Front Office and Industrial Area (Parcel A) and authorizing the Mayor and City Administrator to execute the agreement.

PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT – 4FRONT OFFICE AND INDUSTRIAL AREA (SLUMBERLAND AND UNITED PROPERTIES) Planner Shively shared in detail a requested Planned Unit Development zoning ordinance amendment at the 4Front Office and Industrial Area, North of County Road 14, East of I-694, West of Ideal Avenue North and South of the Willowbrooke Development. The owners, Slumberland, partnered with United Properties and were proposing to divide the west expansion area into four parcels for future development. Ms. Shively explained that the developers were requesting two new uses, Light Manufacturing and Office-showroom / Office-warehouse in Parcel A. In this initial phase of development, they were proposing to construct up to 310,000 square feet of new space on Parcel A. Ms. Shively explained this request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan guiding for the area, the uses would be compatible with the existing 4Front development, and it meets the economic development by providing employment opportunities and expanding industry diversity. In response to a question from Commissioner Campbell, Ms. Shively shared the developers understand that landscaping must be compatible with surroundings, particularly the Willowbrooke neighborhood to the north of the site. The planning team will be working with the developers on this. In response to two questions from Commissioner Pierson, Ms. Shively noted that if there are any hazardous materials produced from any proposed businesses, there are a number of agencies that regulate hazardous materials and that the businesses will need to comply with those regulations. The City Fire Department works closely with businesses that may have hazardous materials to develop a response plan as needed. Ms. Shively also shared with regard to a question about storm water management and impervious surfaces, the Site Plan would need to meet the Valley Branch Watershed District requirements. In response to a question from Commissioner Jurgensen, Ms. Shively explained the county is evaluating a new entrance into this parcel west of the 4Front entrance on County Road 14. If this is not feasible, the entrance will be the existing 4Front entrance on County Road 14, and access will not be connected to the Willowbrooke Development. Chair Milles opened up the public hearing to anyone who wanted to comment on this zoning ordinance amendment. There being none, Chair Milles closed the public hearing. There was no further discussion from the Commissioners.

BACKGROUND The 4Front Technology and Office Campus encompasses 122 acres located on County Road 14, abutting the Willowbrooke neighborhood to the north, and running from I-694 on the west to Ideal Avenue North on the east (see Attachment A: Location Map). The four buildings on the campus comprise a total of approximately 550,000 square feet and house a number of office and research and development companies. There are nearly 65 acres remaining to be developed – approximately 50 acres in the west expansion area and 15 acres in the east expansion area (see Attachment B: Future Development Areas). COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION The campus is guided Business Campus in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan allowing for Corporate Offices, Light Manufacturing uses, and Office uses. ZONING DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS The Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning for the campus allows for Office uses and Research and Development uses. This special zoning district was created when 3M owned the property (along with the land to the north that is now Willowbrooke). The PUD was created in 1995 to accommodate the world headquarters of 3M’s spinoff business Imation and create a multi-user business park for 3M and other office-industrial users. Imation went out of business several years ago and Slumberland purchased the campus in 2016 around the same time that the City was undertaking a small area planning process for the 3M land that is now the Willowbrooke neighborhood. Slumberland has rebranded the site as the 4Front Technology and Office Campus. The designations of the surrounding property are displayed in the table below: Orientation Comprehensive Plan Zoning District Existing Use Willowbrooke Planned Unit North Mixed Residential Vacant Development South N/A N/A County Road 14 East N/A N/A Ideal Avenue North West N/A N/A I-694 1 REQUEST Slumberland has partnered with United Properties to develop the vacant land in the west expansion area of the campus. Slumberland and United Properties are proposing to designate four parcels for future development in this area (see Attachment C: Proposed Development Area). The developer is requesting that two new uses, Light Manufacturing and Office-showroom/Office- warehouse, be allowed in addition to the currently allowed Office and Research and Development uses on Parcel A in the northwest corner of the site adjacent to I-694. The developer states that there is a high demand for Light Manufacturing and Office-showroom/Office-warehouse space and allowing those uses would realize development on the site much sooner than waiting for an Office or Research and Development user. In this initial phase of development, they are proposing to construct up to 310,000 square feet of new space on Parcel A (approximately 24 acres). Depending on the number and type of businesses interested in this location, the site could be developed with either one large building or two smaller buildings (see Attachment D: Preliminary Site Plan Options). The developer states that typical businesses need approximately 20,000-60,000 square feet for their operations, so there could be several different users in the building(s). The preliminary site plans also show a new access drive on County Road 14 to the west expansion area. Washington County is working with the developer to evaluate the feasibility of a new access at that location. ANALYSIS A request for an ordinance amendment is evaluated by how well it achieves the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, consistency with other provisions in the zoning ordinance, compatibility with adjacent land uses, and infrastructure capacity (roads, water, sewer, and storm sewer). The draft ordinance (see Attachment E: Draft Ordinance Amendment) is the product of conversations with the developer with those criteria in mind and in a manner that provides certainty for the City, the developers, and future tenants of the campus. The draft ordinance amendment defines the area where the amendment applies (Parcel A), articulates the goals and purpose of the area, defines what terms and uses mean, and outlines the permitted and prohibited uses. The list of prohibited uses is intended to provide clarity as to what is allowed by addressing some uses that are clearly not intended for this area. Comprehensive Plan The Business Campus Future Land Use guiding of the 4Front campus area is intended for uses that provide high-quality employment opportunities (Corporate Offices, Light Manufacturing, Offices). The City’s economic development goals and policies include maintaining and increasing living wage jobs to provide a continually improving quality of life for all residents and attracting and retaining businesses that complement and diversity the City’s economic base. Allowing Light Manufacturing and Office-showroom/Office-warehouse uses is consistent with the Business Campus guiding and will provide additional employment opportunities in a range of industry types that add to the diversification of the City’s economy. The draft ordinance contains a Purpose statement to reflect those goals and policies from the Comprehensive Plan. Zoning, Land Use Compatibility, and Infrastructure Capacity The PUD Concept Plan allows for up to 720,000 square feet of Office/Administration and Research and Development uses across 43 acres in the west expansion area (see Attachment F: PUD Concept Plan). Those uses would continue to be permitted under the draft ordinance amendment. The ordinance 2 amendment allows two additional uses on 24 acres of the west expansion area (Parcel A): Light Manufacturing and Office-showroom/Office-warehouse. Light Manufacturing is a use where products are being made, assembled, improved, or packaged in a way that does not create noise, odor, or other nuisance conditions outside the building and does not require any outdoor storage. These are businesses like Park Tool on Hadley Ave. N. and Motion Tech Automation located in the Hale Ave. N. industrial park. Office-showroom/Office-warehouse uses are businesses with a percentage of the space devoted to office activities with the remainder of the space used for either display or storage of materials, goods, or equipment. An example is Ferguson Bath, Kitchen, and Lighting Gallery located on Hale Ave. N. The draft ordinance amendment requires twenty-five percent of an Office-showroom/Office-warehouse space be dedicated to office activities since most of the job activity takes place in the office area and not the display/storage space. The current ordinance requires twenty-percent office space in Office- showroom/Office-warehouse uses. The additional five percent required by the draft ordinance amendment is intended to ensure more employment opportunities with these new uses at the 4Front campus. The developer has the flexibility to spread out the office space between users in a building; some users may have less office space and others more, but the overall total shall be twenty-five percent office space. The draft amendment also allows the clear height in the warehouse portion of an Office- showroom/Office-warehouse to be up to thirty-two feet to accommodate more storage area; the current ordinance limits the warehouse ceiling heights to fourteen feet. Clear height is the open area of a warehouse under any lights, trusses, etc. allowing the entire space to be used for “racking” or the stacked storage of goods and materials. The developers have stated that this type of space is in high demand. It is anticipated that the addition of Light Manufacturing and Office-showroom/Office-warehouse uses will be compatible with the 4Front Technology and Office campus. Slumberland states that they have current businesses in the campus that would likely expand into this new space when it becomes available. In order to ensure compatibility with the Willowbrooke residential neighborhood to the north, the draft ordinance amendment states that additional setbacks and a landscape buffer strip will be required where Parcel A abuts the planned park and open space. There is sufficient infrastructure capacity (roads, water, sewer, and storm sewer) to accommodate the proposed 310,000 square foot development in this location. The following table summarizes this analysis: EXISTING PROPOSED EVALUATION Comprehensive Plan Corporate Offices, No change in the Guiding Proposed uses are Guiding: Business Light proposed consistent with the Campus Manufacturing, Comprehensive Plan and Offices support the Economic Development Goals 3  EXISTING PROPOSED EVALUATION Zoning: Permitted Uses Office Office Proposed uses are Research and Research and compatible with adjacent Development Development land uses and there is Light Manufacturing sufficient infrastructure Office-showroom/Office- capacity to serve the warehouse development Percent office in Office- Twenty percent Twenty-five percent Higher percentage of showroom/Office- office space will facilitate warehouse employment generating uses Clear height/Ceiling Fourteen feet Thirty-two feet Additional clear height will height in warehouse not create any issues at component this location and will meet current market demand 60-DAY RULE Application Complete: April 26, 2021 60-Day Review Deadline: June 25, 2021 Extension Granted To: N/A Planning Commission Meeting: May 6, 2021 Expected City Council Action: May 25, 2021 ROLE OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION The role of the Planning Commission is to review the Planned Unit Development amendment as it relates to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance requirements and provide a recommendation to the City Council. RECOMMENDATION Staff evaluation has concluded that an amendment to allow Light Manufacturing and Office- showroom/Office-warehouse uses on Parcel A is consistent with the goals and intent of the Comprehensive Plan, those uses will be compatible with surrounding land uses, and there is sufficient infrastructure to serve the proposed development. It is the opinion of staff that allowing more uses that will provide employment opportunities and expand industry diversity achieves the City’s goals more quickly than waiting for a large office or research and development user given the current market trends. MOTION Motion to recommend approval of the Planned Unit Development amendment for the 4Front Office and Industrial Area.
