LOUIS PARK DOES ORDAIN: Section 1. Purpose. r 1.01 The United States and Minnesota Departments of Transportation are upgrading State Highway No. 12 to become Interstate Highway 394. This will drastically alter transportation patterns and foster new development and redevelopment along the highway corridor. It will also generate severe traffic congestion on both the freeway system and the local street network in the area, resulting in traffic problems, pollution problems, and environmental problems. Because the I-394 corridor runs along the common border between the City and Golden Valley, the two cities have commissioned a study of their shared problems and plan to work together to solve them. The Council has established a Task Force to analyze the impact of these changes un the surrounding area, review existing zoning and Comprehensive Plan designations for the area, and 'make recommendations for joint action with the City of Cobden Valley to address these problems. While this process and study is continuing, development in the affected area must be restricted to protect this planning process and to assure that development does not occur prematurely and in conflict with plans produced by this process. The City Council is aware of the hardship that a complete development prohibition would impose on landowners. The City and Golden Valley plan to move as quickly as possible so that this ordinance may be terminated before its expiration date, if possible. In addition, certain exceptions to the development restrictions are appropriate. Landowners have the right to proceed with development proposals already approved. Internal improvements in exist1ng buildings would have little impact on the planning process because development of the site has already largely occurred and the external impact of the changes will be minimal. One and two fami y residential developments need not be restricted because that is consistent with the largely residential nature of the City. As protection for the planning process, however, no applications for amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, rezonings, or Planned Unit Developments should be accepted or considered. These are the very issues being studied by the Task Force and should be considered only after the study and recommendations are completed. Section 2. Development Restrictions. 2.01 Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 462.355, subd. 4, no building permit shall be issued for any property in St. Louis Park included in the Study Area of the I-394 Traffic Impacts Study (approximately an area of the City lying east of Highway 18, north of the Burlington Northern railroad tra,., west of Highway 100, and south of Highway 12), except the following: a. Property designated and currently used as single family residences or two family residences consistent with the Zoning Code. b. Property for which preliminary subdivision approval and/or site plan approval has been granted (but final approval has not been granted) by the Council prior to the effective date of this ordinance. c. Interior improvements for existing structures which do not require additional parking under applicable ordinances, regulations, etc. d. Exterior additions to existing structures which do not increase the size of the structure by more than 10% of its existing square footage nor require additional parking under applicable ordinances, regulations, etc. e. Improvements necessary to correct violations of State law and City ordinance which have created a threat to public health and safety, as determined by the City. 2.02 No applications for amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, rezonings, or other land use related approvals affecting property in the Study Area shall be accepted or considered. -2- Section 3. Term. 3.01 This ordinance shall be effective upon its publication and shall terminate 180 days hereafter.
