Attachmetai�: Zoning Map Planning Application Letter frorn Paster Enterprises dated Oc#ober 3, 1996 Site Plan (blueline print) �ackgrou��: The properiy where Mounds View Square Shopping Center is located was rezoned from B-I to B-3 in April, 1973 and the shopping center was built in 1974. Tn 19�9, the property owner ob�ained approvai for a rezoning from B-3 to B-4 and a conditionat use permit allowing the development of the Harde�'s Restaurant as a drive-thru convenience food restaurant. As part of this action, th� City Council approved the site plan with the provision of 503 parking spaces rather than the 537 parking 5paces requ�red by.the Zoning Code. In 1991, the properiy owner obtained a variance to reduce parking requirements by 26 spaces to allow the construction of trash dumpster enclasures. Present day staff is assurYring that fihere are 477 parlcing spaces on the property at this time. Counting from the site plan, there are 505 parking spaces not accounting for the 26 parking spaces lost when the trash dumpster enclosures were built. If they are taken into account, there are 479 parking spaces in the shopping center.
