Presenter: Ashley Rentsch, Senior Finance Manager
Summary:
City of Brookings Staff continually monitors departmental budgets and brings
amendments to the City Council as necessary to account for circumstances not
anticipated in the originally adopted appropriation ordinance. This ensures compliance
with state and local laws and maintains transparency regarding the City’s operational
needs. This two-part budget amendment increases budget authority for the final
Brookings Food Pantry construction costs and transfers budget authority in the CIP
Fund to accommodate necessary repairs at Larson Ice Center.
Background:
At the beginning of 2022, construction began on the Brookings Food Pantry, a
partnership between the City of Brookings, Brookings County, Brookings Area United
Way, and a Community Development Block Grant from the State of South Dakota. This
project is in the final stages of construction. Project cost savings in other areas has
allowed the opportunity to transfer budget authority to complete the repairs r ather than
increase the budget.
Item Details:

Dept. / Fund Budgetary
Account
Increase / (Decrease)
Amount Description
Brookings Food Pantry Expenditure $175,000 Final Facility Construction
Costs
Brookings Food Pantry Revenue $175,000 United Way / Brookings
County Contribution
This ordinance provides spending authority to finalize the new non-profit building.
The additional funds needed will be provided by the United Way/Brookings
County. The City’s financial commitment to this project remains $300,000.
PART 2
Dept. / Fund Budgetary
Account
Increase / (Decrease)
Amount Description
CIP Fund Expenditure $ (20,000) LIC Boiler Replacement
CIP Fund Expenditure $20,000 LIC Boiler Replacement
There have been maintenance issues with the dehumidification system, a boiler,
and tube heaters at the Larson Ice Center. While it is anticipated that the
dehumidification and tube heaters can be addressed through the Larson Ice
Center budget, project savings at the Activity Center have been identified as a
source for the boiler replacement.
Legal Consideration:
None.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
This action supports fiscal responsibility by increasing budget authority for anticipated
expenditures and increasing transparency regarding transfers of budget authority.
Financial Consideration:
Part 1 is budget neutral. It increases miscellaneous revenues for contributions from
Brookings County and the United Way to account for the increase in expenditures.
Part 2 is budget neutral, transferring existing budget authority from one account to
another to meet operational needs.

The City Council has the following options:
1. Approve as presented
2. Amend

City Council Agenda Memo
From: Ryan Miller, City Planner
City Council Meeting: November 22, 2022 / December 13, 2022
Subject: Amendments to Chapter 94, Article IV, Division 1 and
Division 2 related to height maximums
Person(s) Responsible: Mike Struck, Community Development Director
Summary:
The City of Brookings is proposing amendments to the City’s zoning ordinances located
in Chapter 94, Article IV, Division 1 and Division 2. The amendments would increase the
maximum height allowed in the B-1, B-2, B-2A and B-3 zoning districts and eliminate
the height maximum in the B-4, B-5, I-1, I-2 and I-1R districts.
Background:
Staff has been exploring changes to the maximum height allowances in the business
and industrial districts. Staff has discussed the height maximums with the Development
Review Team and feel that the current regulations are antiquated and increases could
promote more efficient development practices.
Item Details:
The changes would impact the maximum allowed height in each of the business and
industrial districts. For the B-1, B-2, B-2A and B-3 zoning districts, the maximum height
would be increased to sixty feet. Below are the proposed changes.
Current Height Max Proposed Height Max
B-1 Central District 50 feet 60 feet
B-2 District 45 feet 60 feet
B-2A Office District 35 feet 60 feet
B-3 Heavy District 45 feet 60 feet
For the B-4, B-5, I-1, I-2 and I-1R districts, the maximum height is eliminated, however,
additional bufferyard setbacks will apply for structures over sixty-feet in height. When a
structure is proposed over sixty feet in height, bufferyards as required in Sec. 94 -399.1.
will be increased by 1.5 times. Below are the proposed changes.
Current Height Max Proposed Height Max
B-4 Highway District 50 feet N/A*
B-5 Research District 60 feet N/A*
I-1 Light District 50 feet N/A*
I-2 Heavy District 50 feet N/A*
I-1R Restricted District 50 feet N/A*
*When a structure exceeds 60 feet in height, the required bufferyard increases x 1.5
For the proposed bufferyard increase, staff is proposing using the required bufferyard
for structures greater than thirty feet in height as the base bufferyard. An increase of
one and a half times would be added if a structure is over sixty feet in height.
Landscaped Bufferyards (with required tree and shrub plantings)
Bufferyard for buildings over 30’ 1.5x Increase
To Parking To Structure To Parking To Structure
B-4 20 feet 30 feet 30 feet 45 feet
B-5 20 feet 30 feet 30 feet 45 feet
I-1 20 feet 30 feet 30 feet 45 feet
I-2 20 feet 30 feet 30 feet 45 feet
I-1R 20 feet 30 feet 30 feet 45 feet
Standard Bufferyard (greenspace only)
Bufferyard for buildings over 30’ 1.5x Increase
To Parking To Structure To Parking To Structure
B-4 40 feet 40 feet 60 feet 60 feet
B-5 40 feet 40 feet 60 feet 60 feet
I-1 50 feet 50 feet 75 feet 75 feet
I-2 50 feet 50 feet 75 feet 75 feet
I-1R 50 feet 50 feet 75 feet 75 feet
For development in B-1, B-2, B-2A and B-3, the standard bufferyards and enhanced
bufferyards for structures over thirty feet in height would remain in use. No additional
bufferyard standards would be added for those zoning districts since the max height is
proposed to be capped at sixty feet.

OFFICIAL MINUTES
Chairperson Greg Fargen called the meeting of the City Planning Commission to order on Tuesday,
November 1, 2022, at 5:30 PM in the Council Chambers Room #310 on the third floor of the City &
County Government Center. Members present were Tanner Aiken, Kyle Jamison, Gregg Jorgenson,
Jacob Mills, Lee Ann Pierce, Roger Solum, and Fargen. Absent were James Drew and Nick Schmiechel.
Also present were City Planner Ryan Miller, Community Development Director Mike Struck, Angie
Boersma, and Lane Worzeka with HME.
Item #6d – The City of Brookings submitted amendments to Chapter 94, Article IV, Division 2 related to
the maximum allowable heights in the B-1, B-2, B-2A, B-3, B-4, B-5, I-1, I-1R and I-2 Districts.
(Solum/Mills) Motion to approve the amendments. Pierce voted no. All others voted aye. MOTION
CARRIED.
OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Item #6d– This amendment pertains to the maximum height allowed. Previously the Planning
Commission had amended the height restrictions in the residential districts. These amendments would
increase the maximum height allowed in the B-1, B-2, B-2A and B-3 zoning districts to 60’ which would
match what is allowed in the R-3 and R-3A Districts. These amendments would eliminate the height
maximum in the B-4, B-5, I-1, I-2 and I-1R districts as they would be required to follow the bufferyard
requirements being proposed.
Pierce is not in favor of these amendments for the downtown area. Miller explained that the downtown
area is zoned B-1 but they would still need to complete the historic review process and be approved.
Pierce feels that these amendments could affect the historic nature of downtown.
Aiken asked how the required number of trees and shrubs in the landscape requirements would be
calculated and would these requirements increase the required number. Miller explained that each district
has different bufferyard requirements. The number stated in the requirements would not be increasing the
requirements in the district.
