PLANNING REPORT
DATE: November 24, 2020
TO: City Council and Planning Commission
TOPIC: Joint meeting to discuss two proposed Zoning District Ordinances:
1. CMU, Community Mixed Use
2. NC, Neighborhood Commercial
AUTHOR: Bill Turnblad, Community Development Director
BACKGROUND
The Stillwater 2040 Comprehensive Plan envisions the creation of several new zoning
districts. These zoning districts are included within the Comprehensive Plan’s
“Highway Mixed Use” and “Neighborhood Commercial” future land use categories.
Most of the Comprehensive Plan’s future land use categories have several corresponding
zoning districts, as seen in the two tables below.
Residential Land Use Categories and Corresponding Zoning Districts
2040 Future Land Use Category Corresponding Zoning Districts
VLDR, Very Low Density Residential RR, Rural Residential
LDR, Low Density Residential RA, One Family Residential
TR, Traditional Residential
LR, Lakeshore Residential
CTR, Cove Traditional Residential
LMDR, Low/Medium Density Residential CCR, Cove Cottage Residential
RB, Two Family Residential
CR, Cottage Residential
MDR, Medium Density Residential TH, Townhouse Residential

Highway Mixed Use future land use category
Recently the City adopted the first of the two planned zoning districts associated with the
Highway Mixed Use land use category. It is admittedly confusing, but this first zoning
district was given the land use category’s name and was called the Highway Mixed Use
Zoning District. The Central Commons Addition property has recently been rezoned to
this.
Staff is now asking the City Council and Planning Commission to consider the second
zoning district in this land use category. This would be for redevelopment of the existing
business area along the north side of Highway 36 that is zoned BP-C, Business Park
Commercial. (Seen in pink in the zoning map excerpt below.) This second zoning
district would be called the Community Mixed Use Zoning District. As the BP-C zoned
properties are re-developed, they would be eligible to be rezoned to CMU1.
1 To be consistent with the 2040 Comp Plan a redeveloping property would have to rezone to CMU. But, if a building
permit is requested for a structure that needs no public review, the City currently has no mechanism for REQUIRING
the property to be rezoned.

Neighborhood Commercial future land use category
Liberty Village’s commercial properties are zoned VC, Village Commercial. The
corresponding land use category is Neighborhood Commercial. The 2030 future land use
map showed only these properties as the Neighborhood Commercial land use category.
The 2040 future land use map has expanded the Neighborhood Commercial land use
category by adding the historical nodes of commercial properties that are scattered
throughout Stillwater’s historical residential neighborhoods. And, staff is asking the City
Council and Planning Commission to consider adopting a new zoning district that could
be applied to any of these scattered properties prior to, or at the time of redevelopment.
We suggest calling this the Neighborhood Commercial Zoning District.
SPECIFIC REQUEST
Consider the two attached draft ordinances.
COMMENTS
A. CMU, Community Mixed Use Zoning District
a. Any properties north of Hwy 36 in the areas of the Future Land Use Map
(attached) that are labeled HMU could be rezoned to the CMU Zoning
District as properties are re-developed.
b. A copy of the draft CMU ordinance is attached. It will be introduced by
our planning consultant team on Monday evening.
i. The permitted and conditionally permitted uses are a hybrid of
business and residential.
ii. The massing standards are more form based than traditional use-
based zoning districts.
B. NC, Neighborhood Commercial Zoning District
a. Any properties that have the future land use category of Neighborhood
Commercial could be rezoned to the Neighborhood Commercial Zoning
District.
b. A copy of the draft NC Zoning District is attached.
i. The permitted and conditionally permitted uses are more restrictive
than any of the other commercial districts. They are limited to those
that are generally compatible with surrounding single-family
neighborhoods.
ii. Minimum setbacks represent what typically exists on the historical
commercial properties. So the front setback is only 10 feet. And, if
there is any on-site parking, it will not be allowed in front of the
building.
