"Honorable Mayor and
Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Re: Proposed Revisions to the Zoning Ordinance
Gentlemen:
The City Planning and Zoning Commission at a special meeting held on September 15, 1965,
reviewed the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, and we recommend that the following
revisions be made:
1. Create an appendix in the Ordinance and include in this section a copy of
the City's Thoroughfare Plan and Land Use Plan.
2. Revise Paragraph 22.021 to read as follows:
22.021 Roomers. The keeping of not more than four (4) permanent
transient roomers or boarders in the structure.
3. Add the following sentence to the end of.Paragraph 30.011 under B-lb:
Integrated Neighborhood and Community Shopping Centers in
accordance with the provisions of Article 47.
4. In Paragraph 41.090 end the first sentence after the word "fence", by deleting
the following: "Provided that parking areas for twenty-five (25) or moer motor
vehicles or for trucks and buses shall also comply with the provisions of
Article 44."
Add to the end of the last sentence in Paragraphi 41.090 the following:"except

19.4 Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council
of the City of Rochester, Minn., September 20, 1965
5. In paragraph 61.024 and the word "made" so that the end of this sentence reads
"recommendation made to the Board."
6. Paragraph 41.093 has been studied, as requested by the Common Council, and we
recommend that no revision be made in this paragraph. The setback provisions
help to provide an approach area into and out of parking lots that give the
car driver some distance in which to react to driving conditions. It also pro-
vides visibility which is very important. Closely associated whith this is the
matter of general appearance and orderliness. For these reasons, we think this
paragraph should remain in its present form.
7. Add the following new paragraphs:
52.04 Rear Yard Modifications:
52.041 Shallow Lot: In any R-District on any lot of record prior to
the adoption of Ord. No. 2296, except the R-4 District, where
the lot depth is one hundred (100) feet or less, the required
rear yard shall be reduced by ten (10) feet and for each ten
4. '(10) feet of lot depth less than one hundred (100) feet the
required rear yard shall be reduced by an additional ten '(10)
feet, but in no case shall the required rear yard be less -than
twenty (20) feet.
8. In paragraph 46.00 omit the words "commission a plan" and substitute the
following: "Common Council for referral to the Commission an application
and plan."
9. In Paragraph 47.00 omit the word "commission" and substitute the following:
"Common Council for referral to the Commission." After the word "review"
add "an application and."
10. In Paragraph 47.03 after the word "ordinance" add the fbllowing: "and has
beenaapproved by the Common Council" and omit "commission" at the end and
substitute "Common Council."
11. In Paragraph 47.06 change the word "Commission" in the heading and at the
end of the paragraph to "Common Council."
12. In Paragraph 61.021 revise the last sentence to read as,follows: "Such
applications shall be filed with the Board through the City Clerk, who
shall transmit one (1) copy to the Zoning Inspector and one (1) copy with
maps to the City Planning and Zoning Commission for review and recom-
mendation to the Board."
13. In Paragraph 61.022 revise the last sentence to read as follows: "Such
application for appeals shall be filed with the Board, through the City
Clerk, who shall transmit one (1) copy to the Zoning Inspector and one (1)
copy with maps to the City Planning and Zoning Commission for review and
recommendation to the Board."
14. In Paragraph 61.023 add a filing fee of "$15.00."
15. In Paragraph 61.024 add the word "made" so that the end of this sentence
reads "recommendation made to the Board."
16. In Paragraph 62.01 omit the words "Planning and Zoning Commission, at its
public office" and replace with "Common Council, through the City Clerk."
