1. The zoning amendment provides an appropriate means of furthering the
intent of the Comprehensive Plan by focusing the ordinance regulations on
the needs of the community.

that would otherwise exist in commercial or industrial districts.

operation of existing or new mining or contractor's facilities when working
on public projects.
4. The change in language will have no expected impacts on public services,
including sewer, water, stormwater treatment, and traffic which have been
planned to serve commercial uses as expected.
5. The existing language of the code will benefit from additional consistency
with the requirements of Wright County which are effective in the MOAA.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE /T RESOLVED, by the Planning Commission of the City of Monticello,
