CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA Chairperson ATTEST: Secretary AGENDA SECTION: NEW BUSINESS AGENDA ITEM # 2 REPORT # 10 CASE # J PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT PC MEETING DATE: MARCH 28, 2005 ITEM FOR PLANNING COMMISSION CONSIDERATION: Amend the relevant portions of Richfield Zoning Code sections 506 and 521 to create new regulations for private driveways in the R, R -1, and MR -1 Zoning Districts. III. RECOMMENDED ACTION: 11 By motion: Approve the attached ordinance amendments to Richfield Zoning Code section 506.07 Subdivision 79 and 521.05 Subdivision 11 and 521.21 Subdivision 10, and 521.41, Subdivision 10 to create new ulations for private dri II. BACKGROUND In 2004 the Richfield City Council requested that staff review the front -yard parking regulations within the City. There have been concerns from City Council as well as citizens regarding the excessive amount of paving and vehicles in the front yards of residential properties. The issue of pavement in front yards is particularly common along major streets in the City where on- street parking is prohibited. In 2004 a moratorium was placed on the issuance of driveway permits so a study could be conducted involving a review of the City's current zoning and parking regulations. The goal of this study was to determine the most appropriate amendments to the regulations relating to front yard parking. During the study phase it was determined that our current standards are too lenient and that revisions need to be made. The proposed amendments to the Zoning Code and City Code should offer residents adequate driveway and turnaround space. During the study period it was also determined that there were additional areas of the Zoning and City Code that needed to be reviewed. Staff plans to address these issues in incremental phases. The phases include looking at the following: Outside Storage of Vehicles 0 including Recreational, and Commercial Enforcement of existing front yard parking that is not in compliance with the proposed changes. Permitted driveway construction materials (gravel, asphalt, etc.) Maximum Impervious Surface requirements Community Development staff has also worked with the Inspections division to create driveway requirements for the front -yard parking ordinance. These recommended requirements are also included in the attached resolution providing amendments to the City's Ordinances. Summary of recommended land -use regulations and licensing requirements. The recommended revisions to the City's Zoning Code can be summarized as follows: Zoning. a) The proposed changes define turnaround areas and includes such areas within the existing zoning regulations for private driveway uses. Turnaround areas would only be allowed on parcels that are located along arterials and collector streets. A turnaround area is also only allowed for vehicle maneuvers and not for the parking of vehicles. b) Additional zoning requirements were revised and include the permitted location of parked vehicles on a driveway and allowed lot coverage in the front yard. Public Safety and LicensiM. a) The permitting process for driveway permits will not change under this proposed code revision. The changes to the Code will allow for easier interpretation and enforcement of the driveway standards. III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION A. POLICY The City Council referred this issue to staff for study and a recommendation in October, 2004. The recommended ordinance amendment will create a definition for turnaround areas and provide zoning regulations for driveways in the R, R -1, and MR -1 zoning districts. B. CRITICAL ISSUES Regulations for driveway uses are necessary to provide reasonable controls for such uses to insure public health, safety, and welfare. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved these proposed amendments to the City's Code. C. FINANCIAL N/A D. LEGAL Zoning: This ordinance amendment creates land -use controls for Driveways, parking areas, and turnaround areas, in the R, R -1, and MR -1 zoning districts. Land Use: R, R -1, MR -1 Comprehensive Plan: N/A Notification: Notification for the City Council public hearing on this proposed Zoning Code amendment will be provided as required by State Statute and City requirements. Other Actions: Council: The recommendation of the Planning Commission will go to the City Council for two readings and a public hearing. If the City Council adopts the recommended changes, they will take effect 30 days after the approved Council resolution is posted in the Sun Current newspaper. IV.
