First Reading of Zoning Ordinance Amendment pertaining to Mobile Medical Uses. Mr. Morrison presented the staff report and explained this Zoning Ordinance amendment is intended to allow mobile medical uses in a manner similar to the City's Ordinance related to mobile food vehicles adopted last year. He advised the proposed Ordinance creates definitions for "mobile use," "mobile use-food," and "mobile use-medical" and contains conditions applicable to all uses as well as conditions specific to mobile use- City Council Meeting -3- June 3, 2013 food and mobile use-medical. He stated the proposed Ordinance requires all mobile uses to be located on non-residential property with property owner permission required; in addition, all required licenses and permits must be obtained and lighting, signage, and trash performance standards are required. He indicated that mobile medical uses are limited to vaccinations, diagnostics, and bloodmobiles and the City proposes to adopt a $50 fee for the mobile use permit to cover the City's administrative expenses. He added the proposed Ordinance would take effect on July 13`h Councilmember Santa requested clarification regarding whether the permit is for a particular use or for a specific vehicle, e.g., if the bloodmobile has three bloodmobiles, she questioned whether that means every time they bring a different bloodmobile they would be required to get a new permit or whether one permit covers all bloodmobiles. Mr. Momson replied the permit is written for the site and stated if the use is related to a food use or medical use the City would review the site plan provided and approve the use for that particular location. Councilmember Santa requested confirmation that when a bloodmobile comes to the City, it would be required to get a permit only once for the site and the permit would be good for a year. Mr. Morrison replied in the affirmative and added the permit is issued to the operator of the vehicle after securing permission from the property owner. Councilmember Santa requested that the Zoning Ordinance be clarified prior to second reading to make sure there are no misunderstandings in the future. Councilmember Ross asked if the $50 fee was sufficient to cover the City's cost to check the licenses and perform necessary inspections to make sure the machines being used are safe to operate. She also requested confirmation that mobile medical uses can only provide vaccinations and diagnostics and cannot provide treatment or surgery. Mr. Morrison replied the Ordinance requires that a current license be submitted with the application. He also confirmed that mobile medical uses can only provide vaccinations and diagnostics and cannot provide treatment or surgery. It was moved by Councilmember Ross, seconded by Councilmember Mavity, to approve First Reading of Ordinance Amending the St. Louis Park Ordinance Code Relating to Zoning by Amending Section 36-82(b)(10), Section 36-142(g) and Appendix A-Fee Schedule and to set Second Reading for June 17, 2013 The motion passed 6-0 (Mayor Jacobs absent). 9.
