8. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. First reading of Ordinance No. 1653, an ordinance amending City Code of 2005 relating to
community centers, banquet halls, and recreational facilities within the City of Columbia Heights.
Elizabeth Hammond, City Planner reported that the ordinance would add two definitions to the Zoning
Ordinance, defining Banquet Halls and Recreational Facilities. Currently these uses are called out in the
Zoning Ordinance as permitted uses; however, they are not defined. In addition, Specific Development
Standards are proposed to be added, which would guide the operation of Banquet Halls. Staff has
proposed to remove Community Centers, Recreational Facilities, and Banquet Halls as permitted uses in
the General Business and Central Business Zoning District. These uses would be changed to conditional
uses (which would still be allowed) in both the General Business and Central Business Zoning District.
These uses are proposed to be changed to conditional uses, due to the nature and potential impacts on
surrounding property. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the ordinance at
their February meeting.
Motion by Councilmember Buesgens, seconded by Councilmember Murzyn, Jr. to close the Public Hearing.
All Ayes, Motion Carried.

Motion by Councilmember Buesgens seconded by Councilmember Novitsky to waive the reading of
Ordinance No. 1653, there being ample copies available to the public. All Ayes, Motion Carried.
Motion by Councilmember Buesgens, seconded by Councilmember Murzyn, Jr. to set the second reading
of Ordinance No. 1653, being an Ordinance amending City Code of 2005 relating to community centers,
banquet halls, and recreational facilities within the City of Columbia Heights, for February 25, 2019 at
approximately 7 pm in the City Council Chambers. All Ayes, Motion Carried.
B. First reading of Ordinance No. 1654, an ordinance amending City code of 2005 relating to brewer
taprooms, and brew pubs within the City of Columbia Heights.
City Planner Elizabeth Hammond reported that staff proposes to change the definition of "Brew Pub ",
which is identified in the City's Zoning Ordinance. The proposed change would remove the barrel
production limits currently called out in the definition. In addition, a Specific Development Standard is
proposed to be added to the existing standards, which guide the operation of Brewer Taprooms and Brew
Pubs. The new standard would require that the facility adheres to all building and fire codes, and that the
facility is licensed as required by the State of Minnesota and Anoka County. Staff proposes to remove the
barrel production limits, which are currently imposed on Brewer Taprooms. A Brewer Taproom is
currently permitted in the General Business District with a limit of 3,500 barrels of malt liquor a year.
Removing this limit could make it easier for a brewery to locate and continue operating in the City.
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the ordinance at their February
meeting.
Motion by Councilmember Buesgens, seconded by Councilmember Murzyn, Jr. to close the Public Hearing.
All Ayes, Motion Carried.
Motion by Councilmember Buesgens, seconded by Councilmember Novitsky to waive the reading of
Ordinance No. 1654, there being ample copies available to the public. All Ayes, Motion Carried.

brew pubs within the City of Columbia Heights, for February 25, 2019 at approximately 7 pm in the City
Council Chambers. All Ayes, Motion Carried.
