B-2 Zoning Code Discussion <br />Page 2 <br />The other properties in the city that are zoned B-2 are Simon's Sporting Goods and adjacent <br />ABC Liquor store, Western Bank, two small office buildings, the Mounds View Library, <br />Mounds View Animal Hospital, Cars Bike Shop and Vino & Stogies liquor store. The majority <br />of the commercial property in the city is zoned B-3, Highway Business. Mounds View Square <br />is the only property in the city with a B-4, Regional Business, zoning designation. <br />The B-2 zoning code is fairly limited with the types of restaurants allowed — delicatessens are <br />the only permitted type of restaurant. The definition of delicatessen is: <br />An establishment which serves prepared food such as cooked meats, sandwiches, or <br />salads or other food items which do not require kitchen facilities for preparation with <br />the exception of conventional and microwave ovens. The majority of the business <br />would be as carry -out with the maximum amount of seating allowed on premises being <br />24 seats. <br />City Staff believes there could be some instances where small or a limited number of <br />restaurants, along with some other types of retail that could be compatible uses in a B-2 <br />zoning district. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the Planning Commission review and discuss the possibility of <br />additional permitted uses in the B-2 Zoning District. <br />Sincerely, <br />Heidi Heller <br />Planning Associate <br />Attachments <br />1.
