Section 2. Conditional Use Permit and Variance Standards.
2.01 Conditional Use Permit Standards. City Ordinance Section 44-1097(a) states
that the City Council must base approval of a Conditional Use Permit on the
following nine standards.
1. The use would be located, designed, maintained, constructed and
operated to be in conformity with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and
Code of Ordinances.
2. The use would not change the existing or planned character of the
surrounding area.
3. The use would not depreciate property values.
4. The use would not involve any activity, process, materials, equipment or
methods of operation that would be dangerous, hazardous, detrimental,
disturbing or cause a nuisance to any person or property, because of
excessive noise, glare, smoke, dust, odor, fumes, water or air pollution,
drainage, water run-off, vibration, general unsightliness, electrical
interference or other nuisances.
5. The use would not exceed the design standards of any affected street.
6. The use would be served by adequate public facilities and services,
including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, water
and sewer systems, schools and parks.

7. The use would not create excessive additional costs for public facilities or
services.
8. The use would maximize the preservation of and incorporate the site’s
natural and scenic features into the development design.
9. The use would cause minimal adverse environmental effects.
2.02 Variance Standards. City Ordinance Section 44-13 refers to a state statute
that states a variance may be granted from the requirements of the zoning
ordinance when: (1) the variance is in harmony with the general purposes and
intent of this ordinance; (2) when the variance is consistent with the
comprehensive plan; and (3) when the applicant establishes that there are
practical difficulties in complying with the ordinance. Practical difficulties mean:
(1) the proposed use is reasonable; (2) the need for a variance is caused by
circumstances unique to the property, not created by the property owner, and
not solely based on economic conditions; (3) the variance if granted, will not
alter the essential character of the locality.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAPLEWOOD
EXERCISING THE CITY’S AUTHORITY TO OPT-IN TO, AND SUPPORT, THE
RAMSEY COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCY (“EDA”)
WHEREAS, the Commissioners of Ramsey County (“County”) and the
Maplewood City Council (“City”) consider small businesses to be the backbone of stability
and growth for their respective local government and municipality; and
WHEREAS, the County and the City also consider continued investment in small
businesses as critical for sustaining stability and growth in their respective local
government and municipality; and
WHEREAS, the County sought special legislation from the State Legislature that
expanded the eligible uses of the County’s Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA);
and
WHEREAS, the special legislation, often referred to as the EDA Bill (Bill),
expanded the use of HRA Levy funding to include entrepreneurship and business
programming and necessitated the creation of the Ramsey County Economic
Development Authority (EDA); and
WHEREAS, the EDA Bill was approved by the Legislature in 2025; and
WHEREAS, the EDA Bill contained two provisions, (1) the EDA would not have
tax levy authority and (2) Cities within the County’s HRA Area of Operation would be
required to ‘Opt In’ to business programming by the EDA; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to state statute, projects funded with HRA levy will continue
to require consent by the City; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Ramsey County Board of Commissioners Resolution

itself to, funding and programs made available by the County’s EDA and deems it a

use, funding and programs established; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City commits to the collaboration with the

3. Resolution Regarding Ramsey County Gun Range
City Manager Sable gave the staff report. Council discussed the agenda item and
shared opinions.
Councilmember Juenemann moved to approve the resolution expressing opposition to
the continued operation of the City of St. Paul outdoor firearms training facility located on
Ramsey County property within the City of Maplewood.
Resolution 26-05-2501
A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO THE CONTINUED OPERATION OF
THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL OUTDOOR FIREARMS TRAINING FACILITY LOCATED
ON RAMSEY COUNTY PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY OF MAPLEWOOD
WHEREAS, the City of Maplewood is a growing, vibrant community located in
Ramsey County; and
WHEREAS, the City of Maplewood has made significant investments in housing,
infrastructure, and community development that reflects a clear and intentional direction
for the future of the community, resulting in significant residential development,
redevelopment, and increased expectations as a high-quality, modern suburban
community; and
WHEREAS, Ramsey County, the property owner, leases an outdoor firearms
training facility that is operated by the City of Saint Paul within the municipal boundaries
of the City of Maplewood; and
WHEREAS, when the outdoor firearms facility first opened in 1950’s, the
surrounding area was largely undeveloped and few individuals were impacted by its
operation, but now the area has witnessed significant residential development; and
WHEREAS, the City of Maplewood and the surrounding neighborhood density
will continue to increase because Ramsey County, fee owner of the land on which the
outdoor firearms training facility is located, recently sold an adjoining 92-acre tract which
is being developed with 206 single family homes and townhouses; and
May 11, 2026
City Council Meeting Minutes

WHEREAS, regional decision-making should be grounded in mutual respect,
shared responsibility, and a willingness to adapt when conditions change; and
WHEREAS, the continued operation of this facility is increasingly incompatible
with surrounding land uses and undermines the city’s long-term vision for safe, thriving,
and connected neighborhoods, especially as residents in proximity to the facility
experience ongoing impacts including persistent noise, disruption to daily life, and
diminished enjoyment of their homes and community; and
WHEREAS, the City of Maplewood notes that a neighboring property was
intentionally acquired and preserved by the City of Saint Paul for a use as a noise buffer,
a clear acknowledgement of the deleterious effects of the firearms facility on Maplewood
residents; and
WHEREAS, the continued operation of this facility at its current location reflects a
longstanding pattern in which problematic land uses are placed in neighboring
communities with less influence over the decision; and
WHEREAS, the City of Maplewood has repeatedly raised concerns and sought
collaborative solutions, yet those concerns have not resulted in meaningful
reconsideration or adjustment by the parties controlling the facility; and
WHEREAS, the continuation of this arrangement places an unfair and
disproportionate burden on Maplewood residents and signals a lack of balance in how
regional responsibilities are shared; and
WHEREAS, the City of Maplewood specifically rejects the premise that the
existence of the firearms facility prior to development of the surrounding area is a
sufficient policy rationale for its indefinite continuation, as public policy must evolve
alongside community conditions, just as outdated practices in housing, land use, and
governance have been reevaluated and changed over time; and
WHEREAS, the City of Maplewood recognizes the importance of firearms
training for public safety personnel but asserts that such training must be conducted in a
manner that reflects current land use compatibility, minimizes impacts on residents, and
demonstrates equitable regional decision-making.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the city council of the City of
Maplewood, Minnesota that:
1. Formal Opposition
The City of Maplewood formally opposes the continued operation of the
outdoor firearms training facility within its municipal boundaries.
2. Advocacy for Residents
The city reaffirms its obligation to advocate for its residents and to ensure that
local conditions are not dictated by external decisions that fail to account for
Maplewood’s evolution as a community.
3. Rejection of “Status Quo” Justification
The city affirms that longevity alone does not constitute justification for the
May 11, 2026
City Council Meeting Minutes
11
continuation of an inappropriate land use, and that policies and practices
must be evaluated based on present-day impacts, community expectations,
and alignment with the public good.
4. Call for Immediate Reengagement
The city calls upon Ramsey County to promptly reengage in a meaningful
and solution-oriented process that includes evaluation of alternative uses of
the property or relocation of the facility.
5. Commitment to Constructive Solutions and Partnership
The City of Maplewood remains willing to work collaboratively to identify
alternatives that support public safety training needs while respecting the
integrity, growth, and quality of life of Maplewood residents.
6. Distribution
The City Clerk is directed to transmit this resolution to the Ramsey County
Board of Commissioners, the Mayor and City Council of Saint Paul, and
relevant regional partners.
