MOU—ND s VIEW <br />of Mounds view Staff <br />Item No: 7B <br />Meeting Date: May 6 2015 <br />Type of Business: Other Planning Activity <br />To: Planning Commission <br />From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate <br />Item Title/Subject: Discuss Proposed Code Amendment for Temporary Outdoor <br />Food Sales <br />The City of Mounds View requires business licenses for Transient Merchants, and the licenses <br />can be issued for up to one year. There haven't been many merchants over the years that <br />have temporarily sold things in the city — it's typically only been a seafood company that will <br />sell from their truck for one or two days a few times a year. Two years ago, a food truck owner <br />applied for a transient merchant license. Since they are selling prepared food, they also must <br />get a license from the Ramsey County Department of Health, which is in effect for 21 days at a <br />single location. The Mounds View Zoning Code that is applicable to this type of temporary use <br />is Chapter 1112.03 (B-1, Neighborhood Business): <br />1112.03: ACCESSORY USES: The following are permitted accessory uses in a B-1 <br />District: <br />Subd. 5. Temporary open or outdoor services, sales and rental as an accessory use and <br />including sales in or from motorized vehicles, trailers, or wagons, subject to the following: <br />(Added, Ord. 735, 5-10-04) <br />a. The activity shall not continue for a period greater than ten (10) consecutive <br />days or for more than three (3) ten (10) day periods per year. Permit periods <br />must be separated by a minimum of thirty (30) days. (Added, Ord. 733, 5- <br />10-04) <br />b. Notwithstanding Article 13, Section 7 of the Minnesota Constitution, a permit <br />issued by the City shall be obtained prior to commencing the activity. <br />(Added, Ord. 733, 5-10-04) <br />C. A permit will not be issued without the written consent of the property owner. <br />(Added, Ord. 733-5-10-04) <br />d. The sales area shall be grassed or surfaced to control dust. (Added, Ord. <br />733, 5-10-04) <br />e. The activity shall not take up parking space as required for conformity of this <br />Title. (Added, Ord. 733, 5-10-04) <br />f. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source shall not be <br />visible from the public right-of-way or from neighboring residences and shall <br />be in compliance with Sections 1103.08 and 1103.09 of this Title. (Added, <br />Ord. 733, 5-10-04) <br />
