Section 36-618 Zoning Ordinance Amendment

This public hearing will be continued to the Planning Commission on Wednesday, June 28, 2023 and City Council on Tuesday, July 18, 2023.

City of Edina Ordinance Amendment, Section 36-618. A Zoning Ordinance Amendment to clarify the City’s regulations regarding multiresidential land uses in the PCD Zoning District being allowed as a conditionally permitted use.

City Code Section 36-612 (Conditionally Permitted Uses in the PCD, Planned Commercial District) allows “multiresidential uses” as a conditionally permitted use. Multiresidential use means a residential use permitted in the Planned Residence District (PRD) and the Mixed Development District. Permitted uses in the PRD included double dwelling unit buildings, residential townhouses, residential buildings containing six or fewer dwelling units, and residential buildings. Under this provision of the City Code, the City of Edina has approved multiresidential projects, including the Edina Flats, and View 44.

City Code Section 36-618 (18) states that no part of any dwelling unit shall be located in a basement or on the first story of a building in the PCD-1 or PCD-2 subdistrict.

The proposed amendment clarifies the ambiguity between these two Sections of City Code.
