<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Resolution 5219 <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment <br />April 27, 1998 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council makes the following findings that the <br />proposed amendment is consistent with the general land use goals and policies contained in the <br />Comprehensive Plan as follows: <br /> <br />Goal 1. Develop a cohesive land use pattern which ensures compatibility and functional relationships <br />among activities and uses. <br /> <br />The change from high density and low density residential to neighborhood commercial will <br />allow for the commercial development of the northeast comer of the Highway 10 and <br />County Road I intersection, an intersection that already supports three comers of higher <br />intensity commercial uses--a Hardees Restaurant and the Moundsview Square Shopping <br />Center, a SuperAmerica gas station and convenience store, and a Burger King Restaurant. <br />Given the high traffic counts at this intersection, it would seem more appropriate to use <br />the land for commercial rather than residential development. The proposed amendment is <br />in keeping with the community goal of limiting commercial development to the Highway <br />10 corridor. The neighborhood commercial designation is the least common designation <br />used in the comprehensive plan, representing less than one-quarter of one percent of the <br />properties in the City. The proposed use would be set back approximately 130 feet from <br />neighboring residential properties and separated by a minimum 70 feet of greenspace and <br />other physical buffering. The neighborhood commercial designation, as opposed to the <br />more intensive highway commercial designation, would in itself be a buffer to the <br />adjoining residential properties. <br /> <br />Goal 2. Maintain and, where necessary, upgrade land uses and envirorunental quality. <br /> <br />The policy under this goal directs attention to protecting integrated use districts (residential <br />neighborhoods, commercial centers, industrial parks) from penetration by through traffic. <br />By virtue of its proximity to Highway 10 and County Road I, the residential district <br />already experiences a penetration of through traffic. Redeveloping the subject properties <br />for a commercial use will add to the existing traffic in this residential district. The <br />tradeoff, however, is that Eastwood Road would no longer feed into the Highway 10 / <br />County Road I intersection thus eliminating a notable point of conflict and with the <br />addition of a right turn lane onto Highway 10 from westbound County Road I, the overall <br />functioning of the intersection will be significantly improved. <br /> <br />Goal 3. Preserve and protect property values. <br /> <br />It is hoped that in the long run, property values will increase with the introduction of a <br />lower-intensity neighborhood commercial use at the comer of the most traveled <br />intersection of the City. The positive impact to the City's tax base will serve to lessen the <br />
