Memo
To: Mayor Hicks and City Council
From: John Hinzman, Planning Director
Date: August 4, 2008
Subject: City Council Planning Committee Report: Adult Uses
REQUEST
The City Council is asked to review the Planning Committee's recommendations on
adult use ordinance changes and to direct the Planning Commission to conduct a public
hearing to consider amending the City Code. The City Council would take final action
upon Planning Commission review.
BACKGROUND
1n April, 2008 the Planning Committee of the City Council was directed to examine
changes to the adult use ordinance. The Committee met three times between May and
July. Citizens United, a group consisting of interested Hastings residents attended the
meetings and provided input. The Planning Committee recommends the following:
• The Hastings Industrial Park should not be rezoned to allow adult uses.
• Prohibiting adult uses city wide is not recommended; the risk of Posing a legal
challenge is too great.
• Doing nothing is not an option; changes to the adult use ordinance are
necessary. Regulations within the existing C-4 Zoning District must be
strengthened.
• The City can further regulate the business operations of adult uses while
preserving First Amendment free speech protections.
ADULT USE ORDINANCE CHANGES
Components of adult use ordinances from various Minnesota cities were reviewed.
Selection was based on League of Minnesota Cities recommendations and included
regulations that had survived legal challenge. The Committee recommends the
following components be incorporated into the City Code:
