Sales area is grassed or surfaced to control dust. The applicant is proposing to use an exis�iing parking lot which is surfaced with asphalt. This criterion is met. Staff believes the criteria for granting a CUP have been met. The Planning Commission shall also consider any possible adverse effects ofthe proposed use as required by Section 1125.01(1)e ofthe Municipal Code, which are as follows: (1) Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan. (2) The geographical area involved. (3) Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. (4) The character of the surrounding area. (5) The demonstrated need for such use. The proposal is for a temporary produce stand in the parking lot of an existing shopping center. The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as HC--Highway Commercial. The produce stand is an appropriate use within this designation. The shopping center is surrounded by roadways and the area where the use is to be located is 1,000 feet from the nearest residential property. The sale of produce is a typical seasonal business in a community such as Mounds View and it serves a community need. The short duration of the use will result in little, if any, adverse effect upon the surrounding area. Recommendation: Approve Planning Commission Resolution No. 543-98 recommending to the City Council approval of a conditional use permit for Merryville Farm Market to operate an outdoor produce stand at Moundsview Square Shopping Center from July 1, 1998 to September 30, 1998, with stipulations.
