ALISON ZIMPFER SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY, 3-0. C. Consideration of a Request for an Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to Allow Temporary Storage Boxes as an Accessory Use in the Affordable Storage and StorageLink Monticello PUD Districts. Applicant: City of Monticello Ms. Schumann provided an overview of the agenda item to the Planning Commission and the public. It was noted that the Council had directed staff to prepare an ordinance amendment allowing storage boxes specifically within the two subject PUDs. Staff originally presented the agenda item with a proposed ordinance at the regular meeting on June 7, 2022. The Planning Commission tabled action on the item, looking for more clarification on how other communities have responded to the inclusion of these storage boxes in their respective communities. Comments and responses from the City of St. Michael and the City of Burnsville are included in the agenda packet. Ms. Schumann indicated that within those two communities, self -storage is allowed in industrial districts. Both also consider the storage boxes as outdoor storage and require any location of these on the sites requires approval through the CUP or PUD process. Given this information, staff does not recommend approval of the ordinance amendment, though the ordinance amendment is included in the agenda, should the Commission wish to recommend the ordinance amendment to City Council. Mr. Hagen mentioned that the intention of the use in Monticello originally, does not reflect how these storage boxes are being used in St. Michael. Mr. Hagen inferred that he would be interested in approving the use of these storage boxes as more of a marketing tool for the proposed sites. Ms. Gabler asked if the outdoor storage portion of this item was denied, how would the PUD's affected handle the display abilities of these boxes on their sites. Ms. Schumann clarified that Planning Commission has ability to direct staff to amend the ordinance to allow the use as display. Mr. Tapper asked for clarification on the options related to denying the outdoor storage use of the boxes on the PUDs but allowing them to have one on site for display and advertisement. Ms. Schumann clarified that Planning Commission can recommend approval of the ordinance amendment with that updated language related to the one box for display on site. They can also table action on the item for new language to be brought back for the Planning Commission to review at a later meeting. Mr. Tapper opened the public hearing portion of the agenda item. Hearing no public comment, Mr. Tapper closed the public hearing portion of the agenda item. ANDREW TAPPER MOVED TO RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THE OUTDOOR STORAGE COMPONENT OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE PUDs AND TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT WITH LANGUAGE RELATED TO THE USE OF A PROPOSED STORAGE BOX AS A MARKETING DISPLAY UNIT FOR THE PUDs.
