Holiday Produce Cup Resolution 589-99 July 21, 1999 Page 2 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. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has considered the provisions from Section 1125.01(1)e of the Zoning Code regarding possible adverse effects of the proposed use and makes the following findings: (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 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. WHEREAS, The Mounds View Planning Commission makes the following findings that the general criteria for CUP approval in Subdivision 1125.01 (2) have been met: (1) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area. It is not expected that this use will have any impact on parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area. (2) The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and there will be no deterrence to development of vacant land. The produce stand would be screened from the neighboring yet -to -be completed Realife Cooperative senior residential complex by the Holiday building and by distance.
