A conditional use permit to allow an animal hospital in a B-2 zoning district, and <br /> 3. An amendment to the City Code to allow animal boarding in B-2 zoning districts as a <br /> conditional use. <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> The City of Mounds View purchased the parcel located at 2625 Highway 10 in 1995 as a means to <br /> remove a blighted and nuisance structure. Since that time,it has been marketed for development by <br /> the City as a commercial use. While there have been two proposals submitted which would <br /> incorporate this parcel,neither were approved. <br /> The Mounds View Animal Hospital has been operating at the Silverview Plaza since 1988. They <br /> were issued a Conditional Use Permit as required by City Code for veterinary clinics in the B-2 <br /> district. The Animal Hospital currently leases 2,000 square feet and they need substantially more <br /> room to effectively operate their business and meet the needs of their customers. <br /> The applicants appeared before the Planning Commission on June 6, 2001 and again on June 20, <br /> 2001 requesting a rezoning of the subject parcel.The Planning Commission passed Resolution 657- <br /> 01 recommending approval of the rezoning and was sent to the City Council for their consideration. <br /> On July 9, 2001, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 684 on second reading to rezone the • <br /> subject property. <br />
