To: New Hope City Council
From: Kirk McDonald, City Manager
Date: January 23, 2020
Subject: Agenda Items for Monday, January 27, 2020
Open Forum
We are not aware of anyone who intends to address Council for the open forum.
Item 5.1
Chief Fournier would like to recognize police officers and citizens in accordance with the police
department's Personnel Recognition and Commendations policy.
Items 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3
Item 6.1 – there is one new business license request for a massage therapist license.
Item 6.2 - involves routine financial claims.
Item 6.3 – there are no new liability claims to report.
Item 6.4
This item appoints election judges who are willing to serve at polling places for the March 3rd
Presidential Nomination Primary. In addition to adult election judges, the city will be utilizing six
student election judges through a partnership with the New Hope YMCA. All judges must attend a
training session. State law requires municipalities to make appointments at least 25 days prior to
election day. City Clerk Leone and I recommend approval.
Item 6.5
This item approves change order no. 6 with Terra General Contractors for the police station/city hall facility.
The Council reviewed the change order at the January 21 work session. Change order no. 6 is in the amount
of $20,110 and includes minor changes that were required after staff moved into the building, including
temporary asphalt sidewalks, revisions to elevator emergency power, heating duct addition, additional
exterior light at fire station parking lot, and hardware and lock changes. The change order will increase the
contract amount to $15,180,664, and the overall project balance is $114,430. The project will not be closed out
until later this year since there are a few exterior items that will be completed this spring. I recommend
approval of the change order.
Item 6.6
This item approves change order no. 1 with Video Services, Inc. for the police station/city hall facility. The
Council reviewed the change order at the January 21 work session. Change order no. 1 is in the amount of
$6,433.82 and includes minor adjustments to the technology equipment that was installed in the council
Page 2
chambers, work session, and cable broadcast rooms. The overall project cost, including this change order, is
$15,180,664, and the overall project balance is $114,430. I recommend approval of the change order.
Item 8.1
This item approves a CUP for a microdistillery and cocktail room at 7530 42nd Avenue North (the former
Mountain Mudd site). This is the first application for such a business in New Hope. The cocktail room would
be open to the public approximately 30 hours per week (Wednesday through Sunday). A text amendment is
necessary to allow the business to be open on Sundays and is outlined in Item 10.1. The Planning
Commission considered the request for a CUP at its January 7 meeting and unanimously recommended
approval subject to seven conditions which are acceptable to the petitioner. If the CUP is approved, the
applicant will submit an application for a liquor license/background investigation. Director Sargent and I
recommend approval of the CUP.
Item 10.1
This is an ordinance amendment to allow for on-sale and off-sale Sunday sales of distilled liquor at
microdistillery cocktail rooms and on-sale Sunday sales of malt liquor at brewery taprooms. This
section was not amended in 2017 when the state legalized off-sale Sunday liquor sales. The amendment
will make the code consistent for all liquor businesses in the city. Director Sargent and I recommend
approval.
Item 10.2
This item contains two ordinance amendments related to adoption of a Business/Warehouse Zoning
District and rezoning of properties that have self-storage uses to the B-W zoning district. Ordinance
No. 20-01 amends the zoning code and Ordinance No. 20-03 amends the zoning map. Summary
ordinances have been prepared for both to save on publication costs. Last fall Council directed staff to
review the city’s industrial zoning code to ensure it was accommodating the changing needs of the
community. The Planning Commission recommends establishment of a new zoning district to provide
for wholesale and retail trade of large volume or bulk commercial items, self-storage, and warehousing.
There are eight parcels that are impacted by the rezoning, and they were all notified about the change.
A public hearing was held at the Planning Commission’s meeting on January 7, 2020, and the Planning
Commission supports the change. One motion can be made to approve both ordinance amendments.
Director Sargent and I recommend approval.
Item 10.3
Last fall the Codes and Standards Committee of the Planning Commission began review of the right-of-
way management section of the city code. Staff studied neighboring cities’ codes and recommends
eliminating two exceptions (fences and parking lots) and allowing irrigation systems. These changes
will make New Hope’s code more consistent and conforming. A public hearing was held at the
Planning Commission’s meeting on January 7, 2020, and the Planning Commission supports the
change. Director Sargent and I recommend approval.
Item 12.1
Mayor Hemken will review the list of upcoming events/meetings.

If you have any questions regarding items in the agenda packet, I would appreciate a call before the
meeting so that I can research any issues and be prepared to respond at the meeting.

2019 Police Department Awards Ceremony
Requested Action

Agenda Title
Resolution appointing election judges for Presidential Nomination Primary on March 3, 2020
Requested Action
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution appointing election judges.
Policy/Past Practice
The city must follow state statutes relative to election law.
Background
M.S.§204B.21 requires each municipality to adopt a resolution appointing election judges. Appointments must be
made at least 25 days prior to the election during which the judges will serve. All judges are required to attend a
paid training session. Staffing levels for the polling places are four to six persons depending on precinct size. Many
judges work half day shifts.
Spouses can both serve as election judges, but they cannot work at the same polling place during the same shift.
The city of New Hope is fortunate to have many residents willing to serve as election judges. Any Minnesota
resident who is eligible to vote and is able to read, write, and speak English may serve as an election judge.
In addition to working on election day, judges assist staff prior to election day to conduct absentee voting at the
city’s three health care facilities. Absentee balloting (also known as early voting) began January 17 and direct voting
begins February 25 (election judges may be asked to assist with direct balloting if there is high voter turnout).
Hennepin County issues absentee ballots for on-line applications, and city staff handles ballot issuance for walk-
in voters.

to $25,000 to keep the project on schedule with the understanding that all change orders must be formally
approved by the Council. At the April 23, 2017 work session, Wold Architects reported on soil issues and a
recommendation of a foundation change to helical piers on the east side of the building. Change order no. 1
was approved at the May 14 Council meeting in the amount of $164,170, which increased the construction
contract amount to $14,956,670. The construction contingency amount is $500,000, so after the change order
the balance was reduced to $335,830.
At the June 18 work session, Wold Architects discussed the need for helical piers on the west side of the
building/retaining wall at an estimated cost of $38,618. The Council gave informal approval with the
understanding that a formal change order would be presented in the future. At the August 20 work session,
Wold Architects discussed change order no. 2 in the amount of $90,330, including the west helical piers, low
voltage revisions, structural revisions and other minor items. The change order was approved at the August
27 Council meeting. The change order increased the revised contract amount from $14,956,670 to $15,047,000
and reduced the construction contingency to $245,000.
At the December 17 work session, Wold Architects discussed change order no. 3, which was a credit to the
contract in the amount of $9,949. The change order, which included both credits and additions, was approved
at the January 14 Council meeting. The change order reduced the contract amount from $15,047,000 to
$15,037,051 and the construction contingency amount was adjusted to $205,449, as additional contingency
funds were added to the Bid Pack #2 category based on updated estimates form the city engineer. At the
January 14 Council meeting, Wold Architects also discussed the need for additional drain tile and sump system

that were necessary for the police garage, with an initial quote of $62,000. The Council author ized the drain tile
work for a cost not to exceed $62,000.
At the March 18, 2019 work session, Wold Architects discussed change order no. 4. The total amount of the
change order was $69,853 and included $53,156 for the sump pump and drain tile for the police garage due to
excess ground water. The change order was approved at the March 25 City Council meeting. The change order
increased the contract amount from $15,037,051 to $15,106,904 and the construction contingency after the
change order was $135,596. At the March 18 work session, Wold Architects also reported the need to include a
flammable waste trap and sump pits with a price of approximately $15,000 for equipment and installation of
foundation support. Wold indicated they were negotiating pricing to determine fair value and a change order
for the work due to wet soils would be presented in the future.
At the May 20, 2019 work session Wold Architects was present to discuss change order no. 5 in the amount of
$53,650. The change order primarily deals with the delay in construction at the beginning of the project due to
Xcel Energy and soil correction/retention issues in the police garage previously discussed with the Council.
The change order was approved at the May 28, 2019 Council meeting. The change order increased the contract
amount from $15,106,904 to $15,160,544.
At the January 21, 2020 work session Wold Architects was present to discuss change order no. 6 in the
amount of $20,110. The change order includes minor changes that were made after staff moved into the
building, including temporary asphalt sidewalks, revisions to elevator emergency power, heating duct
addition, additional exterior light at fire station parking lot, and hardware and lock changes. The change
order increases the contract amount to $15,180,664 and the overall project balance is $114,430.

Agenda Title
Resolution approving Conditional Use Permit for microdistillery with cocktail room at 7530 42nd Avenue
North (New Hope Planning Case 20-04)
Requested Action
Staff requests that the City Council approve a resolution approving Planning Case 20-04, a request for a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow for a microdistillery with cocktail room at 7530 42nd Avenue North.
Policy/Past Practice
The City Council has approved CUP amendments in the past when in compliance with the requirements of
the zoning code.
Background
A Davis Distillery LLC submitted an application for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to operate a 1,600
square foot microdistillery with cocktail room at 7530 42nd Avenue North. Microdistilleries produce
beverage-grade spirit alcohol in relatively small quantities, which are often served as mixed drinks in cocktail
rooms. The business would operate in the space previously occupied by Mountain Mudd & Niko's Bar,
which has been vacant since October of 2017. The business would not serve food, although patrons would
have the option of ordering food from local restaurants and consuming it within the cocktail room. Fo od
trucks may also be utilized.
The business owners intend for the cocktail room to be open to the public approximately 30 hours per week.
The distilling portion of the business would operate on Mondays and Tuesdays and would not be open to the
public. The cocktail room would be open Wednesday through Sunday afternoons and evenings, with
Sundays primarily reserved for events. Section 10-9 of the City Code (Kinds of liquor licenses) currently
prohibits cocktail rooms from operating on Sundays. A text amendment would be necessary in order to allow
the business to be open to the public on Sundays and will be presented by staff, independent of A Davis
Distillery LLC’s CUP request. The microdistillery and cocktail room would be the first such business in New
Hope. The City Code was amended in 2015 to allow for the introduction of brewpubs, breweries with
taprooms, and microdistilleries with cocktail rooms into the city.
Recommendation
The Planning Commission considered the request for a CUP at the January 7, 2020, meeting and
recommended approval with an 8-0 vote, subject to the following conditions:
1. Applicant shall obtain all required licensing and permits from the city, state, and federal government
in order to serve alcohol and operate microdistillery with cocktail room.
2. Use of drive-through window shall be prohibited. Drive-through lane shall be used exclusively for
deliveries. Awning above drive-through window shall be removed.

PUBLIC HEARING
Planning Case 20-04
Item 4.1
Chair Schmidt introduced Item 4.1, Planning Case 20-04, a Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) to allow microdistillery with cocktail room, 7530 42nd
Avenue North, A Davis Distillery LLC, petitioner.
Mr. Jeff Alger, Community Development Specialist, gave background
information on the case. A Davis Distillery would produce beverage-
grade spirits in small quantities and serve as mixed drinks in the cocktail
room. The cocktail room would be open to the public approximately 30
hours per week. The distilling portion of the business would operate
Mondays and Tuesdays and would not be open to the public. The
cocktail room would be open Wednesday through Sunday afternoon
and evenings, with Sundays primarily reserved for events. The business
would not serve food, although patrons could order food from local
restaurants. Food trucks may be utilized in the future.
Alger then reviewed the licenses and permits required for a
microdistillery and cocktail room. There are state and federal
licenses/permits that are required. Before those can be applied for, all
approvals at the city level must be in place. There are three city-issued
liquor licenses required for the distillery and cocktail room. One for an
on-sale cocktail room, one for off-sale, and one for Sunday on-sale.
Current City Code prohibits on-sale Sunday sales at microdistillery
cocktail rooms and malt liquor at breweries. Staff will propose a text
amendment to allow these uses later in the meeting.
Next, Alger discussed parking and traffic for the site. City Code requires
30 parking stalls for the size of the proposed microdistillery. There are
currently 156 stalls shared with the building to the east. Staff does not
anticipate any parking issues. The striping of the parking lot delineating
parking stalls has faded. An administrative notice was sent to the
2
Planning Commission Meeting January 7, 2020
property owner to restripe the parking lot by July 1, 2020. The drive-thru
shall not be utilized and the awning over the drive-thru window shall
be removed. The curb cut on 42nd Ave. N. is intended for ingress only.
One of the requirements of this CUP is to reinstall a “Do Not Enter” sign
at the curb cut to instruct drivers not to use the driveway as an exit onto
42nd Avenue. Drivers are to exit the parking lot at the NW corner on
Quebec Ave N.
Deliveries are infrequent and small in scale. The deliveries are to go to
the west side of the building, located in the drive-thru lane. The owners
anticipate using the outdoor patio. An administrative permit would be
required to serve drinks on the patio. In addition, the edge of the patio
would need to be delineated with bollards or a fence. The petitioner has
indicated a fence would be used. The building façade has awnings in
disrepair. The awnings are to either be repaired, replaced, or removed,
and notice has been given to the property owner to do so. The missing
covers for the building light fixtures are to also be replaced. The business
would utilize the shared trash container on the north end of the
building. An administrate notice was sent to the building owner to
remove exterior storage by the trash enclosure. West Metro Fire has
indicated the lock box containing keys to each business in the building
shall be replaced on the west side of the building.
Alger concluded that proper legal notice and mailing notice were given.
Staff received no feedback regarding this planning case. Staff
recommends the Planning Commission approve the CUP to allow
microdistillery and cocktail room.
When Chair Schmidt questioned whether any of the Commissioners had
any questions for staff, Commissioner Landy questioned if staff had
heard from the property owner. Alger replied they have received no
reply in regards to the administrative notices that had been sent.
Commissioner Clark asked for clarification on which property issues
were included with the CUP and which were separate from the CUP.
Director Sargent explained the “Do Not Enter” sign and the lock box are
included with the CUP. All other property issues are separate and
addressed directly to the property owner.
Chair Schmidt invited the applicant to the podium. Alan Davis and Amy
Hotchkiss (formerly Davis) approached the podium. Chair Schmidt
asked why they decided to open the microdistillery in New Hope. Mr.
Davis said they all live locally and they liked the building location off
42nd Ave. N. The space previously being set up as a coffee shop
provided a good layout for them with minimal alterations.
Commissioner Brinkman asked which type of spirits would be offered.
Mr. Davis responded primarily gins, vodkas, and possibly rums. Down
the road, they are considering adding whiskeys. Commissioner
Brinkman asked if beer would be served. Mr. Davis replied that beer
would not be served, and legally they cannot serve it with their type of
licensing.
3
Planning Commission Meeting January 7, 2020
Commissioner Smith asked what the seating capacity was. Mr. Davis
replied that around 49-50 would be about maximum capacity with their
seating plan. That includes tables, bar, and outdoor seating.
Chair Schmidt inquired if weekly events would be offered. Would
certain days of the week would have different specials/events? Mr.
Davis replied that they have had many discussions about events and
plan to do so to draw in customers.
Commissioner Brinkman asked what their hours of operation would be.
Mr. Davis replied Wednesday through Saturday from 4:00 pm – 11:00
pm or midnight. Ms. Hotchkiss added that Sundays would be primarily
aimed for private events to use the space. Mr. Davis explained the
production cannot be done while open to the public, so production days
and general public days need to be delineated, following the licensing
and insurance requirements.
Motion by Commissioner Landy, seconded by Commissioner
Brinkman, to open the Public Hearing. All present voted in favor.
Motion carried.
No one from the audience wished to speak.

PUBLIC HEARING
Planning Case 20-03
Item 4.2
Chair Schmidt introduced Item 4.2, Planning Case 20-03, request for
amendment to Chapter 10 of the New Hope City Code allowing for on-
sale Sunday sales of malt liquor at brewery taprooms, on-sale Sunday
sales of distilled liquor at microdistillery cocktail rooms, and off-sale
intoxicating liquor sales at microdistillery cocktail rooms, city of New
Hope, petitioner.
Mr. Brandon Bell, Community Development Assistant, gave background
information on the case. The recent CUP application from A Davis
Distillery LLC to open a microdistillery and cocktail room in New Hope
led staff to look into city codes. During the planning process, staff noticed
that the current city code does not allow for microdistilleries or taprooms
to sell on-sale beer and liquor on Sunday. It is the belief of staff that this
section of code was overlooked when changes were recently made to
reflect that the state eliminated the prohibition of Sunday beer and alcohol
sales back in 2017.
Staff believes that since both on and off-sale liquor and beer sales are now
allowed in the other venues in the city on Sundays, it would be in the best
interest of the city to have consistent and conforming code that does not
prohibit microdistillery and taproom sale on Sunday either.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed text amendments.
There were no questions for staff.
Motion by Commissioner Landy, seconded by Commissioner Mannix,
to open the Public Hearing. All present voted in favor. Motion carried.

Ordinance No. 20-04, an ordinance amending Chapter 10 of the New Hope City Code allowing for on-sale
Sunday sales of malt liquor at brewery taprooms, on-sale Sunday sales of distilled liquor at microdistillery

Requested Action
Staff requests that the City Council approve Planning Case 20-04, an ordinance amending Chapter 10 of the
New Hope City Code allowing for on-sale Sunday sales of malt liquor at brewery taprooms, on-sale Sunday
sales of distilled liquor at microdistillery cocktail rooms, and off-sale intoxicating liquor sales at
microdistilleries.
Policy/Past Practice
It is a past practice of the city to amend ordinances to accommodate the changing needs of the community.
Background
Section 10-9 of the City Code prohibits on-sale and off-sale Sunday sales of distilled liquor at microdistillery
cocktail rooms and on-sale Sunday sales of malt liquor at brewery taprooms. This section of the City Code
was not amended in 2017 when the state legalized off-sale Sunday liquor sales. Staff is proposing a text
amendment that would allow both to take place within the city. On-sale and off-sale liquor and beer sales are
allowed in other venues on Sundays throughout the city and the proposed amendment would make the
ordinance consistent for all businesses in the city.
Recommendation
The Planning Commission considered the ordinance amending Chapter 10 of the City Code allowing for on-
sale Sunday sales of malt liquor at brewery taprooms, on-sale Sunday sales of distilled liquor at
microdistillery cocktail rooms, and off-sale intoxicating liquor sales at microdistillery cocktail rooms and
recommended approval with an 8-0 vote.

PUBLIC HEARING
Planning Case 20-03
Item 4.2
Chair Schmidt introduced Item 4.2, Planning Case 20-03, request for
amendment to Chapter 10 of the New Hope City Code allowing for on-
sale Sunday sales of malt liquor at brewery taprooms, on-sale Sunday
sales of distilled liquor at microdistillery cocktail rooms, and off-sale
intoxicating liquor sales at microdistillery cocktail rooms, city of New
Hope, petitioner.
Mr. Brandon Bell, Community Development Assistant, gave background
information on the case. The recent CUP application from A Davis
Distillery LLC to open a microdistillery and cocktail room in New Hope
led staff to look into city codes. During the planning process, staff noticed
that the current city code does not allow for microdistilleries or taprooms
to sell on-sale beer and liquor on Sunday. It is the belief of staff that this
section of code was overlooked when changes were recently made to
reflect that the state eliminated the prohibition of Sunday beer and alcohol
sales back in 2017.
Staff believes that since both on and off-sale liquor and beer sales are now
allowed in the other venues in the city on Sundays, it would be in the best
interest of the city to have consistent and conforming code that does not
prohibit microdistillery and taproom sale on Sunday either.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed text amendments.
There were no questions for staff.

PUBLIC HEARING
Planning Case 20-02
Item 4.3
Chair Schmidt introduced Item 4.3, Planning Case 20-02, request for
amendment to Section 6-14(e)(3) of the New Hope City Code related to
right-of-way management and the exceptions to registration
requirements, city of New Hope, petitioner.
Mr. Brandon Bell, Community Development Assistant, gave background
information on the case. The Codes and Standards Committee discussed
the possibility of adding and removing some allowable use exceptions in
the Right-Of-Way Management section of the code at its October 1, 2019
meeting. There were two exceptions that were proposed to be removed:
erecting fences and parking lots. The Codes and Standards Committee felt
that both of these should be removed since they are already not allowed
in the right-of-way due to setback requirements in other sections of the
city’s ordinances.
The Codes and Standards Committee also discussed adding “irrigation
systems” as one of the exceptions in the right-of-way management. Staff
looked into other city’s codes in the surrounding area, and many of them
provide for this exception. It would be in line with current code since
property owners are ultimately responsible for maintaining the
landscaping in the public right-of-way directly abutting their property,
and irrigation systems can be an exceptional way to having healthy
vegetation.
The Codes and Standards Committee was in favor of the text amendment
relating to the addition and subtractions of certain right-of-way
management exceptions.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed text amendments.
There were no questions for staff.

Agenda Title
Ordinance Nos. 20-01 and 20-03, ordinances amending Chapters 3 and 4 of the New Hope City Code adopting
a Business/Warehouse Zoning District, repealing self storage as a conditional use in the Industrial District,
requiring an administrative permit for limited open outdoor storage in the Industrial District, and amending
the zoning map of New Hope by rezoning cwertain properties from Industrial to Business/Warehouse
Requested Action
Staff requests that the City Council approve Planning Case 20-01, ordinances amending Chapters 3 and 4 of
the New Hope City Code adopting a Business/Warehouse Zoning District, repealing self storage as a
conditional use in the Industrial District, requiring an administrative permit for limited open outdoor
storage in the Industrial District, and amending the zoning map of New Hope by rezoning certain
properties from Industrial to Business/Warehouse.
Policy/Past Practice
It is a past practice of the city to amend ordinances to accommodate the changing needs of the community.
Background
At the September 16, 2019 work session, staff was asked to review the city’s current industrial zoning code to
ensure that it was accommodating to the changing needs of the community. Staff researched the matter and
it was discussed at the October 1, 2019 Codes and Standards meeting. The decision was that it would be in the
city’s best interest to establish a new Business/Warehouse zoning (B-W) district. The purpose of the district
would be to provide for the establishment of wholesale and retail trade of large volume or bulk commercial
items, self-storage, and warehousing. This includes uses that are industrial in nature, but may bring customer
traffic and patronage to the site.
In order to implement a new zoning district, two text amendments must be approved. The first would
amendment would establish zoning requirements for the district. With the adoption of the B-W zoning
district, self-storage facilities would only be allowed in that district and would require a conditional use
permit. In order to open a self-storage facility in the Industrial district, a petition to rezone the property to B-
W would need to be approved. According to the city planner, an amendment to the city’s Comprehensive
Plan is not necessary as the B-W zoning district would fall under the industrial use category and the change
would not affect the land use classification of such parcels on any maps.
The second amendment would approve the changes to the city’s current zoning map, rezoning all properties
with self-storage uses to the B-W zoning district. This includes the following parcels:
Address PID Business
7301 36th Ave N 2011821210009 All American Self Storage

PUBLIC HEARING
Planning Case 20-01
Item 4.4
Chair Schmidt introduced Item 4.4, Planning Case 20-01, request for
amendment to Chapter 4 (zoning) of the New Hope City Code adopting
a Business Warehouse zoning district, repealing self-storage as a
conditional use in the Industrial district, and requiring an administrative
permit for limited open outdoor storage in the Industrial district; request
for amendment to the zoning map of New Hope established by New
Hope Code Section 4-4(b) by rezoning certain properties from Industrial
to Business Warehouse, city of New Hope, petitioner.
Mr. Jeff Alger, Community Development Specialist, gave background
information on the case. The Codes and Standards Committee discussed
the possibility of creating a new Business Warehouse (B-W) zoning
district at its October 1, 2019, meeting. The purpose of the district would
be to provide for the establishment of wholesale and retail trade of large
volume or bulk commercial items, self-storage, and warehousing. This
includes uses that are industrial in nature but may bring customer traffic
and patronage to the site. In order to implement a new zoning district,
two text amendments must be approved.
The first text amendment establishes zoning requirements and consists of
the following. First, establishes permitted & conditional uses; minimum
lot, building & setback requirements. Second, repeals self-storage facilities
& conversion of industrial buildings into self-storage facilities as
conditional uses in Industrial district. Third, requires administrative
permit for limited open outdoor storage in Industrial district. Fourth,
amends reference in the sign code to specific zoning district to include B-
W zoning district.
Self-storage facilities would only be allowed in B-W district and would
also require a conditional use permit. Rezoning would be required to
open a self-storage facility in the Industrial district.

Planning Commission Meeting January 7, 2020
Next, Alger reviewed the permitted uses in both districts. The B-W district
uses are similar to permitted uses in the Industrial district, with a few
differences. Automobile major repair, trade schools, and radio and TV
antenna farms are permitted uses in the Industrial district, but would not
be permitted in the B-W district. Radio & TV stations, indoor recreational
businesses, and off site service business are permitted uses in the B-W
zoning district, but would not be permitted in the Industrial district.
Alger then reviewed the conditional uses in B-W district have some
similarities to the Industrial district. Restaurants, motels, solid/hazardous
waste transfer stations, truck terminals and major truck repair, health and
social services, daycare centers, adult uses, and government buildings are
conditional uses in the industrial district, but would not be conditional
uses in the B-W district. Self-storage facilities and warehouse conversion
to self-storage facilities are conditional uses in the B-W district, but would
not be in the Industrial zoning district.
Lot requirements, building heights, and setbacks for the B-W district are
the same as the Industrial district.
The second part of the request involves an amendment to the zoning map.
There are currently eight properties with self-storage uses that would be
rezoned to the B-W zoning district.
Alger concluded that proper legal notice and mailing notice were given.
Staff did receive feedback from four property owners regarding this
planning case. Written feedback was received from a representative of
one property owner, which a copy was given to Commissioners before
the meeting. Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve both
of the proposed text amendments, which will require two public
hearings.
When Chair Schmidt asked if anyone had questions, Commissioner
Clark brought up that it is unusual to have specific lots called out for
rezoning based upon their business use type. It is more common to have
lots similar in geographic area that are rezoned. Mr. Brixus replied that
the properties being rezoned from Industrial to B-W are similar in
zoning and business use. The proposed rezoning should not have an
effect on geographic area. Commissioner Clark asked if another self-
storage business comes in and wants to rezone from Industrial to B-W
district, whether the city could decline the offer. Brixus replied that if
there is interest, the city has discretion to say yes or no for rezoning after
weighing the pros and cons.
Commissioner Landy questioned City Attorney Stacy Woods on the
feedback received from the property owner’s representative. Woods
said that all CUPs run with the land. Since the state has this as a law, the
city would not need to restate the same in the text amendment. Mr.
Sargent clarified that the current owner of the B-W district could no
longer pursue some land uses based upon the rezoning, but current uses

could remain intact.
Commissioner Clark, wanted records to show that the commission
addressed the feedback from Louts Commercial Properties LLC.

Agenda Title
Ordinance No. 20-02, an ordinance amending Section 6-14(e)(3) of the New Hope City Code related to right-
of-way management and the exceptions to registration requirements
Requested Action
Staff requests that the City Council approve Planning Case 20-02, an ordinance amending Section 6-14(e)(3)
of the New Hope City Code related to right-of-way management and the exceptions to registration
requirements.
Policy/Past Practice
It is a past practice of the city to amend ordinances to accommodate the changing needs of the community.
Background
Section 6-14(e)(3) of the City Code currently dictates what exceptions are made in the right-of-way and do not
require right-of-away permits. There are currently two items, fences and parking lots, that although they are
allowable uses, due to setback regulations in the code they would not be allowed. Staff is proposing to
eliminate these two exceptions so that the code is more consistent and conforming. Likewise, currently
irrigation systems are not an exception in the right-of-way. Staff studied other cities codes in the area and
found that many of them allow for irrigation systems. Allowing irrigation systems would be consistent with
current City Code since residents are expected to properly maintain the right-of-way that directly abuts their
property, and irrigation systems can be essential to performing this task.
Recommendation
The Planning Commission considered the ordinance amending Section 6-14(e)(3) of the City Code related to
right-of-way management and the exceptions to registration requirements and recommended approval with
an 8-0 vote.

PUBLIC HEARING
Planning Case 20-02
Item 4.3
Chair Schmidt introduced Item 4.3, Planning Case 20-02, request for
amendment to Section 6-14(e)(3) of the New Hope City Code related to
right-of-way management and the exceptions to registration
requirements, city of New Hope, petitioner.
Mr. Brandon Bell, Community Development Assistant, gave background
information on the case. The Codes and Standards Committee discussed
the possibility of adding and removing some allowable use exceptions in
the Right-Of-Way Management section of the code at its October 1, 2019
meeting. There were two exceptions that were proposed to be removed:
erecting fences and parking lots. The Codes and Standards Committee felt
that both of these should be removed since they are already not allowed
in the right-of-way due to setback requirements in other sections of the
city’s ordinances.
The Codes and Standards Committee also discussed adding “irrigation
systems” as one of the exceptions in the right-of-way management. Staff
looked into other city’s codes in the surrounding area, and many of them
provide for this exception. It would be in line with current code since
property owners are ultimately responsible for maintaining the
landscaping in the public right-of-way directly abutting their property,
and irrigation systems can be an exceptional way to having healthy
vegetation.
The Codes and Standards Committee was in favor of the text amendment
relating to the addition and subtractions of certain right-of-way
management exceptions.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed text amendments.
There were no questions for staff.
