Thrifty Auto Rental <br />Resolution 5349 <br />July 26, 1999 <br />Page 3 <br />(1) Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan. <br />(2) The geographical area involved. <br />(3) Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. <br />(4) The character of the surrounding area. <br />(5) The demonstrated need for such use. <br />While a commercial use has been present at this location for the last 30 years, this proposed use <br />or any commercial use would be inconsistent with the comprehensive plan as currently drafted. It <br />is staff's position that the comprehensive plan should be amended to reflect this type of use, the <br />change to occur as part of the current comp plan update process. The area surrounding the parcel <br />is dominated by residential uses. There are commercial uses and higher density residential uses <br />across Highway 10. While the property is the only commercial use in the immediate area, its <br />location at the intersection of Spring Lake Road and Highway 10 makes it undesirable for a <br />residential use. Addressing the issue of neighborhood depreciation, it is much more desirable to <br />have a successfully operating business at this location than to have an abandoned, run-down <br />property. As for the need for such a use, there are currently no businesses in the City that provide <br />a car rental service. <br />WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council makes the following findings relative to the <br />criteria stated in Section 1125.01 Subd. 3.b. of the Mounds View Municipal Code: <br />(1) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other <br />public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area. <br />The use will be a service-oriented business, rather than residential development, and <br />therefore is not expected to create a burden on parks or schools. The proposed use will <br />utilize the existing building and is not expected to increase the demands on public <br />facilities and utilities. <br />(2) The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent <br />residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and <br />there will be no deterrence to development of vacant land. <br />(3) The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon <br />adjacent residential properties. <br />The use is currently screened from abutting residential properties by virtue of a wood <br />privacy fence. The residential properties across the street are sufficiently separated by <br />the width of the Spring Lake Road right of way and the respective setbacks of the <br />business and houses. <br />(4) The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the <br />City and to the existing land use. <br />The applicant will be replacing a closed and untended business site with a new business <br />and site improvements. There are currently no other similar uses in the City. <br />
