(1)AGENDA REPORT City Council Work Session - 09 Nov 2021 TITLE Single Family and Multi-Family Residential Zoning District Changes Presenter(s) Eric Zweber, WSB Regina Dean, Assistant Community Development Director ACTION REQUESTED Direction to staff on the proposed changes to the single family and multi-family residential zoning code changes. BACKGROUND On March 16, 2021, City Council approved a professional services agreement with consultant WSB to assist with changes to Title 10 (Zoning) and Title 11 (Subdivision) areas of the city code (www.burnsvillemn.gov/citycode). A Zoning Map is included as an attachment for visual reference of the various zoning districts in Burnsville. The Planning Commission is charged with reviewing and providing recommendations on the changes to Title 10 and Title 11. This is a separate, but parallel process with the larger City Code overhaul which is being reviewed by the Code Review Task Force. A memo dated November 3, 2021 from WSB is included which explains the public engagement process, proposed modifications and next steps. Additional information is also summarized below: In April, the Planning Commission received an overview of the draft public engagement plan, a proposed timeline and a highlight of the goals and themes. At the August 23rd meeting the Planning Commission received a presentation on diversity and inclusion and was encouraged to consider this lens when reviewing and discussing and changes. On August 6, the Economic Development Commission, Planning Commission, Code Review Task Force were sent the R1 and R1A sections of City Code for review and comment. On August 23, the same group was sent the R-2, R-3B, R-3D and Multi-Family Requirements sections of the code for review and comment. On September 13, the Planning Commission received a presentation and discussed the proposed changes to the R1-One Family and R1A One Family Rural zoning code. On October 11, the Planning Commission reviewed proposed changes to the R-2 Two Family, R-3B High Density, R-3D Manufactured Housing, and Multi-Family Special Requirements sections of the zoning code. Links to the backgrounds including draft chapters of the zoning code changes are located here: Planning Commission Background-September 13, 2021 Planning Commission Background-October 11, 2021 In general the following changes are proposed for the residential zoning districts: • •. Consistent language/terminology between chapters. A Use Table is introduced which identifies permitted uses, conditional uses, and interim uses allowed in one location..

(2) • • • • • •. Exceptions for front, side and rear setbacks for structure expansions in R1 and R1A. Elimination of a basement or cellar requirement. Flexibility to allow flat roofs. Changes to combine the medium density R2 and R3A districts. R3D (manufactured homes) is proposed to be renamed to R4. Plain language for architectural standards for multi-family requirements.. Two new comments have recently been received related to potential changes to the R-1 chapter described below: 1. The current zoning regulations do not allow metal fasteners to be visible on metal roofs. There is a resident that recently requested a metal roof with exposed fasteners after the recent storms and learned that this is currently prohibited. Staff had the opportunity to survey its Market Cities and neighboring cities. Apple Valley, Bloomington, Brooklyn Park, Coon Rapids, Eagan, Minnetonka, Plymouth and Savage responded. Brooklyn Park is the only city that explicitly prohibits exposed metal fasteners for metal roofs. Of the eight cities half of them do not regulate roofing materials within the zoning code in single family residential zones. 2. ISD191 recently approached the City with the idea to warehouse and distribute food at Sioux Trail Elementary. The ordinance could be amended to allow temporary warehouse and distribution on properties that have an approved non-residential use such as a religious institution or school site. This ordinance change requests are timely given the current schedule and conversation. Staff is interested in the City Council weighing in on these items at the work session Next Steps: The final changes for ordinance adoption of the Single Family and Multi-Family chapters will be presented at a future Planning Commission meeting (public hearing) for a final recommendation to City Council. Any additional feedback on amendment considerations will be accepted up until the public hearing date. The next steps in the zoning update project will involve review of the business and industrial districts and standards. As part of that review, WSB will reach out to businesses via an online survey, phone, or Zoom interviews and discussions with the Chamber of Commerce. The Economic Development Commission will receive a presentation on proposed residential changes at the November 10th meeting and an overview of the business and industrial district changes at their January 2022 meeting. The next chapters to review in early 2022 will include the following: • • • • • •. Definitions Mixed Use Transit Oriented Development Parks, Commercial Recreation and Conservancy Planned Unit Development Signs.

(3) • • • • • •. General Regulations Development Review Processes Environmental Overlay, Mining, Floodplain Landscaping Towers and Antennas Subdivision Ordinance. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff is seeking direction from the Council to determine if there is support for the following questions and potential changes. Answers to the following questions will provide guidance to the consultant and staff: 1. Is there support for the overall proposed changes to the single family and multi family zoning ordinance? 2. Is there support to include charts or tables to display permitted uses and setback requirements? 3. Is there support to amend the current draft ordinance to allow metal fasteners for roofs? 4. Is there support to amend the current draft ordinance to allow temporary warehouse and distribution at schools and religious institutions within the residential zoning districts? STRATEGIC PRIORITIES Community Development: Strategic growth and redevelopment are balanced. ATTACHMENTS ZoningMap WSB Memo dated November 3, 2021 Survey Redline Ordinance Draft Ordinance.

Regina Dean, Assistant Community Development Director. From:. Kim Lindquist, AICP Director Community Planning and Economic Development. Date:. November 3, 2021. Re:. Zoning Ordinance Amendments Residential Districts Title 10 Chapters 12,13,14,15,17,18 WSB Project No. 017776-000. City staff has been working with WSB to update Burnsville’s zoning ordinance to make it more relevant, inclusive, and easier to understand for the user. We have started with the residential districts and provided several opportunities for the public to weigh in on the project. The public and Planning Commission have had several opportunities to review the drafts and there have been some minor modifications made after the regular Planning Commission meetings. The residential districts are being presented to the Council for discussion prior to formal action being taking on the proposed modifications. Public Engagement The zoning ordinance update process has numerous touchpoints available for the public and stakeholders. With each ordinance section amendment, the “redlines” have been presented to staff for internal discussions and then feedback given. After any additional modifications are made, the draft ordinance changes (removing, adding, or clarifying language) were posted on the zoning and subdivision update website https://www.burnsvillezoningupdate.com/ to allow public comments. These same draft amendments were sent to the Planning Commission, Economic Development Commission and Task Force Members. All comments received, either from the public or commissioners, were provided to the Planning Commission and adjustments to the draft was made if found appropriate. Along with the specific draft ordinances, there are several public engagement events that are part of the update process. The one most applicable to the residential district modifications is the public survey that was posted on the update website. The 11-question survey indirectly addressed zoning ordinance regulations using photos and asking resident preferences. The assumption is many residents don’t know the specific code requirements but know what they like in their neighborhood, or the result of the code standards reflected in the built environment. In total, there were 205 respondents to the survey. To spur survey interest, along with directing the public to the zoning code update website, city staff handed out information cards with the website address at several public events, such as Back to the 80’s, Night to Unite, and there was the opportunity to take the survey during the July Party on the Plaza event. WSB also attended the Fire Muster and provided information about the survey results and continued to highlight the ordinance rewrite website. The zoning code update website, including the survey, has been shared on social media and within the City’s printed publications. When reviewing the survey, responses about enjoying open space, number of trees and vegetation, maintenance of residential properties and proximity to parks and trails were.

(9) Zoning Ordinance Drafts One-Family Residential Districts November 3, 2021 Page 2. highlighted as things residents liked about Burnsville. This translates to maintaining some open space on each parcel and ensuring code violations are addressed in a reasonable manner. Questions relating to garages and driveways indicate that residents are generally comfortable with the current standards, although there is some acceptance for variation from the existing regulations. For example, 20% of the respondents preferred a driveway of over 24’ in width, which is the current maximum width. If persons responding to all of the above and no preference, were added, the total percent of respondents supporting a driveway wider than 24’ would be 66.3%. However, the number one answer with 33.7% of respondents preferred a 24’ driveway, which is the largest response for any category. Likewise, there were all lot of residents that support a 2-car garage and a 3-car garage. And approximately 40% supporting an oversized garage with another 38% indicating no preference. In general, it appears that residents who took the survey are comfortable about the current building standards and may not appreciate larger driveways or garages if that would result in reduced open space, privacy, and potential landscape areas. One objective of the ordinance update, and the survey, was to assess whether the ordinance and approval process is easy to understand and navigate for residents and other users. There are several questions in the survey relating to conducting some construction work on the property in the future. And a question about going through the process and if any changes were recommended. Of the179 respondents who answered the question about permitting and the approval process most did not have a specific suggestion for change to either. According to the survey, many residents anticipate making some upgrades to their property within the next 5 years. Additionally, most indicate that they would stay at the premises even if they were not able to accomplish the indicated upgrade. Residential Districts Modifications As mentioned, the project is in part being undertaken to provide more clarity for residents and the staff, as well as increasing flexibility. When reviewing the residential districts, one of the main changes is in the structure of the ordinance. Rather than list all the uses in each district, or list them in one and make readers circle back to previous districts, a use table has been created. The proposed table specifies all permitted, conditional, or interim uses in the various residential districts. A second table lists dimensional requirements, which the City may wish to incorporate into the ordinance, although it will be redundant to the standards listed in each zoning district. Burnsville may choose to use the dimensional standards table for a hand-out; it does allow a quick review of setbacks necessary for new construction which can be handy for residents. One question is whether to keep the “use table” information also within the individual districts or only rely on the table. The ordinances in the packet do not include the information that is already presented in the table. This reduces the size of the document and also aids the city in the future; there are less places in the ordinance to amend ordinance standards when future changes are made. The other structural change is combining the old R-2 Two-Family Residential district with the R3A Medium Density Residential district in a new R-2 district addressing duplexes and townhomes and renaming the prior R-3B High Density Residential district to just R-3. This means that the districts are more aligned with the comprehensive plan densities..

(10) Zoning Ordinance Drafts One-Family Residential Districts November 3, 2021 Page 3. In review of the table, the R-1 One-Family Residential coincides with the LDR, low density residential land use category, whereas the new R-2 Medium Density Residential district will be more akin to the MDR, medium density residential, with the R-4 manufactured homes also in the MDR category, and the R-3 High Density Residential district will be HDR, high density residential. One-Family Districts There have been proposed modifications to both of the One Family districts (R-1 and R1-A), but primarily the R-1 One-Family Residential, which is the zoning district for most of the Burnsville residential property owners. One of goals is to provide flexibility to existing residents to allow them to make desired building modifications that keep them in the community. These changes include clarifying the metal roof standards and highlighting the exceptions for required front, side, and rear yard setbacks to permit structure expansions. The Planning Commission, after discussion also supported allowing flat roofs for new or modified construction as well as houses that would not include basements or cellars. The Commission asked about boarding houses and it was indicated that “short term rentals” could be added in the zoning ordinance. Short-term rentals are licensed by Burnsville’s code and are allowed, with license, for dwelling units. There is no need to specifically add into the zoning ordinance. In response to public comments the Planning Commission discussed some ideas which were raised to help address housing affordability and inclusion. These ideas were to reduce the minimum size of any new residence or to permit subdivision of existing lots into small lots, through creation of a new zoning district. These concepts were briefly discussed but the Commission did not provide any specific direction. These ideas would require more discussion about the policy implications for substantive ordinance changes and it is unclear, given the developed nature of Burnsville, if ordinance changes to spur new, more affordable construction would result in a significant change in the community. In the R-1A One-Family Rural Residential district the main changes were to list out the interim uses allowed and to eliminate mining and soil reclamation as use in this district. Two new comments have recently been received related to potential changes to the R-1 chapter described below:.

There is a resident that recently requested a metal roof with exposed fasteners after the recent storms and learned that this is currently prohibited. 2. ISD191 recently approached the City with the idea to warehouse and distribute food at Sioux Trail Elementary. The ordinance could be amended to allow temporary warehouse and distribution on properties that have an approved non-residential use such as a religious institution or school site. This ordinance change requests are timely given the current schedule and conversation. Staff is interested in the City Council weighing in on these items at the work session Two-Family and Multi-Family Districts and Multiple Family Minimum Requirements Changes to these districts were primarily structural, particularly the combining of the old R-2 TwoFamily Residential with the prior R-3A Medium Density Residential districts, retooling of the R-3B High Density Residential district and modifying a few items from the R-4 Manufactured Housing district. The minimum requirements section has been altered slightly to add and clarify some architectural standards for multi-unit structures. This area addresses the amount of high-quality materials on which facades and the need for visual interest every 200 feet. There are other changes where items have been removed from the R-1 One-Family Residential district because the issue is addressed elsewhere in the ordinance. This is particularly true in the Chapter 7 where many of the general standards are regulated such as waste material, fences, or height limitations. Editing has been done to reduce redundancy. After the City Council discussion on the proposed changes, the final ordinances will be drafted. Next Steps The next steps in the zoning update project will involve review of the business and industrial districts and standards. As part of that review, WSB will reach out to businesses via an online survey, phone, or Zoom interviews; and discussions with the Chamber of Commerce.
