Holiday Produce Cup Planning Case 564-99 July 26, 1999 Page 2 The Holiday Stationstore building contains approximately 6,500 square feet of building area. The proposed produce stand would occupy 144 square feet of the property, which is about 2% of the building square footage on the site. b. Outside sales areas are fenced or screened from view of neighboring residential uses or an abutting residential district in compliance with Subdivisions 1103.08(1) - (5) of this Title. The produce stand would be screened from the neighboring yet -to -be completed Realife Cooperative senior residential complex by the Holiday building. C. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source shall not be visible from the public right of way or from neighboring residences and shall be in compliance with Section 1103.09 of the Code. The applicant will not have any lighting associated with the produce stand as it will be operating during daylight hours. d. Sales area is grassed or surfaced to control dust. The applicant is proposing to use the lawn area adjacent to the north bank of parking stalls instead of taking up space in the parking lot. e. The open or outdoor service, sale or rental use does not take up parking spaces as required for conformity of this Title. The produce stand would not be located in the parking lot and it is expected that the majority of the customers would be drawn from those already on the premises for gas or convenience products. f. The provisions of Subdivision 1125.01(1)e of this Title are considered and satisfactorily met: (1) Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan. (2) The geographical area involved. (3) Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. (4) The character of the surrounding area. (5) The demonstrated need for such use. The proposal is for a temporary produce stand adjacent to the parking lot of an existing Holiday Stationstore. The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as Mixed Use PUD, which coincides with the zoning of this site. Such an accessory use would not be inconsistent with the Plan. The store is at the corner of two major transportation arteries and is screened from adjacent residential uses. The sale of produce is a typical seasonal business in a community such as Mounds View and it serves a community need. The short duration of the use will result in little, if any, adverse effect upon the surrounding area. In addition to the specific criteria addressed in Section 1114.04 and the adverse effects considerations in Subdivision 1125.01 (1)e, there are generic CUP criteria that appear in Subdivision 1125.01 (3)b that need to be addressed. They are as follows:
