NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council makes the following findings of fact relating to the Clear Channel Outdoor application for an Interim Use Permit for a billboard on Outlot A, Sysco Second Addition: 1. The Installation of a billboard on Outlot A would not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities that serve or are proposed to serve the area. 2. The billboard at the proposed location would not be readily visible from nearby residentially zoned properties and would not have a detrimental effect on the development of vacant land in the area. 3. The structure and site will not have an appearance that would adversely effect adjacent residential properties in that there are no residential properties adjacent to Outlot A. 4. The requested IUP is reasonably related to the requirement placed upon the Applicant to relocate four of six billboards from the former golf course property. 5. The use is consistent with the recently adopted amendments to the Sign Code Chapter 1008 as effectuated by Ordinance 769.
