Printable Version

60.605 NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS:

     Subd. 1.  Neighborhood Meetings Encouraged/Required.  Applicants for General Development Plan approval, site planning permits and conditional use permits are strongly encouraged by the City to meet with property owners who will be affected by the proposed development.  Applicants for land use plan map and zoning map amendments, and for conditional use permits under article 62.1100 shall conduct neighborhood meetings when the proposed amendment will allow uses projected to generate greater traffic volumes or generate greater volumes of truck traffic than the current designation would allow. Applicants for conditional use permits under article 62.940 shall conduct a neighborhood meeting under all circumstances.          
        Subd. 2.  Location and Notice.  When a meeting is conducted, the applicant shall bear responsibility for providing a meeting location and for conducting the meeting.  If conducted, the applicant shall provide notice of the time and place of the meeting as provided for in section 60.630 and to the City Council.  City staff may attend such neighborhood meetings to gather information and to highlight relevant requirements of this ordinance as needed, but shall not organize or control the meeting.  City staff shall not present, evaluate or approve development proposals at Neighborhood Meetings.  Following the meeting, the applicant shall submit to staff a written summary stating the time and location of the meeting, the number of attendees and the topics discussed.       
          Subd. 3.  Timing of Meeting.  An applicant may propose, schedule, notice and hold a neighborhood meeting at any time during the development approval process; provided, however, that no neighborhood meeting shall be held fewer than ten days prior to a required hearing or meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission, City Council or, when a site planning permit includes a request for a variance, the Zoning Board of Appeals.
