Item # 8 <br />City of Mounds View <br />Planning Commission Report <br />Meeting Date: Nove�nber 7, 2001 <br />Title: DISCUSSION AND REVIEW OF SECTION 1406.06 OF THE MOiJNDS <br />VIEW CITY CODE PERTAINING TO DEVELOPMENT CONTRQLS <br />Background <br />Staff is requesting that the Planning Commission review the section of the City Code that relates to <br />development controls. This section of the Code is outdated and unclear, which could pose problems <br />concerning the types of proj ects required to be reviewed by the Planning Commission and approved <br />by the City Council and which projects require a development contract. The Planning Commission <br />previously reviewed this section of the Code and has directed staff to draft an Ordinance reflecting <br />their comments. <br />Discassion <br />Type of Development to be Reviewed <br />The City Code, Section 1Q06.06, Subd. 2, currently reads as follows: <br />Application of Development Controls: All proposed industrial, commercial and residential <br />developments and expansions of existing facilities, except developments where public utilities <br />and streets have previously been installed and the erection of no more than iwo (2) detached <br />single-family dwellings are planned, must be reviewed by the City Planning and Zoning <br />Cominission and approved by tl�e City Council as conforming to this Section. The term <br />"development", as used herein, shall mean all construction, public and private improvement, <br />expansion ar alteration of facilities and land within the City. <br />Based on comments by the Planning Commission and research by staff, the following text could <br />replace the existing section to simplify the requirements for development review. Since the last <br />Planning Commission meeting, additional research regarding past development cases in tlie City <br />revealed that some projects maynot need a development review, such as accessory structures and <br />minor modifications to existing structures. Therefare, the following Code amendrnent reflects <br />Planning Commission comments as well as additional language regarding minor improvements. <br />All new construction excep� Single-Family or Two-Family dwelling units shall be <br />reviewed by the Plannrng and Zoning Commission and approved by the City Council as <br />conforming to this Section. <br />, Exceptions: <br />-� l) Accessory structures that meet the requirements of the applicable zoning district . <br />
