Land Use Approvals for New Maintenance Operations Center (MOC) and Existing Facility Expansion
Dissent: None
Moved by Councilmember Graf [0:21:52] · Seconded by Councilmember Strahan [0:21:53]
City Planner Thomas Peschke outlined the five necessary actions for the MOC project: comprehensive plan amendment, rezoning, conditional use permits for both facilities, and designation as special object-oriented buildings. He clarified that the existing facility required a conditional use due to its expansion and changes in zoning code requirements. The Planning Commission had previously given unanimous support.

This action authorizes city staff to formally submit the approved comprehensive plan amendment to the Metropolitan Council for their required support and review, following the initial council approval of the amendment.

Dissent: None

This action formally adopts an ordinance to amend the city's official zoning map, changing the zoning designation of the property north of Woodhill from neighborhood mixed-use to institutional district, a crucial step for the Maintenance Operations Center project.
Adopt Resolution Approving Conditional Use Permits for Maintenance Facilities
Dissent: None
Moved by Councilmember Strahan [0:24:28] · Seconded by Councilmember Graf [0:24:29]

Approve Maintenance Buildings as Special or Object-Oriented Structures
Dissent: None
Moved by Councilmember Graf [0:25:22] · Seconded by Councilmember Strahan [0:25:23]
This action approves the new and expanded maintenance buildings as 'special or object-oriented buildings' under section 1007.02 of the city's design standards, acknowledging their unique functional requirements within the zoning code.
Consent Agenda Approval
Dissent: None
Moved by Councilmember Strahan [0:28:43] · Seconded by Unknown [0:28:44]
City Manager Pat Trudgeon briefly described five items: approval of payments totaling over $1.2 million, a massage therapy license for a new local business, the purchase of four cardiac monitors for 2027 capital replacement (including trade-ins and sale of an old medic vehicle), applying for the annual SCORE grant from Ramsey County for recycling efforts, and approving an updated joint powers agreement with South Central Service Cooperative for employee benefits.
Notable Quotes (6)
I'm here this evening to uh receive the necessary approvals to move forward with the uh improvements, remodeling, and expansion of the existing uh maintenance facility just north of City Hall here, and then for the construction of a new maintenance and operations center or MOC at the northwest corner of County Road or uh of Lexington Avenue and Woodhill.
On number four, we have to do the approve the conditional use of the existing maintenance operation center on Woodhill because that's an expansion. Is that the sole reason?
That is correct. Yep. Because it doesn't have a conditional use and because I [clears throat] believe back in the last go-around with our zoning code or there were some changes that required those uh types of facilities to have a conditional use and it doesn't have it.
Agenda item 10A approves payments in the amount of $1,267,461.10.
This action also approves the sale of a 2016 medic vehicle from the fire department.
In 2026, for instance, the city received $123,000 in SCORE grant funding to help our recycling efforts.
