North Metro Motom, CUP Re -.port May 1, 2013 Page q. The Demonstrated Need for Such a Use. The applicant is proposing an auto repair business. There are three other businesses in the city that offer auto repair services (35W Auto Repair, Pat's Muffler and Tires N' More). The proposed North Metro Motors business appears to be providing the same or similar services as the other auto repair businesses in Mounds View, but they have a strong business and feel this is a good option for their second location. Summary: The parking requirements are met as nine parking spaces are required and there are at least 20 spaces on the site. The lot meets the minimum size and square footage requirements. Water runoff from the site will drain to the ditch along County Road 10. Staff recommends approval of this conditional use permit with conditions. Recommendations: After taking testimony from staff and the applicant, the Commission can take one of the following actions related to the request: Recommend approval of the conditional use permit. Resolution 977-13 is attached if the Commission chooses this action. 2. Recommend denial of the conditional use permit. If the Planning Commission selects this option, Staff would need to be directed to draft a resolution of denial with findings of fact appropriate to support the denial. 3. Table the request. If additional information is needed before a decision can be rendered or if more discussion is needed, the Commission can simply move to table the request until such information has been provided. Because of 60 -day requirements, the Commission would need to act upon the request as soon as reasonably possible to avoid an inadvertent approval. Respectfully submitted, Heidi Heller Planning Associate Attachments: 1. Narrative from Applicant 2. Zoning Map 3. Aerial View 4. Photos of site 5. Resolution 977-13
