REQUEST
The City Council is asked to hold public hearing to amend Section 10.21, Subd. 3 (old
code) or 155.32 (C) (5) (a) of the Recodified City Code pertaining to Temporary Auto

The Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the amendment at the
June 11, 2007 meeting with limited discussion. No one from the public spoke for or
against the request.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On August 7, 2006, the City Council voted to change Section 10.21 C-4 Regional
Shopping Center, Subdivision 3, Uses by Special Permit. The change allowed temporary
auto sales in the C-4 district by a special use permit. The provision to Section 10.21
expires on July 31, 2007.
The ordinance change was prompted by a request from Hastings Automotive to hold a
temporary auto sale at the Westview Matl. Upon the ordinance change, a sale was held at
the Westview Mall in September 2008. Staff did not have any concerns nor were any
complaints received from the public.
