Item No: 05D 018 MOUNDS VMW Meeting Date: Apr 23, sent Type of Business: Consent Administrator Review: City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Don Peterson, Public Works Director Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8948, Approval of a One -Year Extension of a Conditional Use Permit for a Multiple -Family Dwelling; for the "Boulevard" (Planning Case MU17-001) Introduction MWF Properties received a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) on May 8, 2017, for a Multiple -Family Dwelling to be located at the northwest corner of Mounds View Blvd and Groveland Rd. CUP's become invalid after one year, if construction is not complete'. MWF Properties is actively pursuing approval of a subdivision, required prior to beginning construction. An extension of the CUP is necessary to comply with conditions of the CUP. Discussion The project is known as "The Boulevard", and will consist of a three story, 60 -unit apartment building. The City Council has approved a Zoning Map Amendment, Conditional Use Permit for the apartment building, a Preliminary Plat, a Development Review, and establishment of a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district. Pending applications include; a land transfer (from county to city to developer), and Final Plat. These approvals are expected to be considered in spring, 2018. Analysis Although the City Code requires CUP's to have completed construction within one year, this is a large project, such that this deadline is not realistic. For this reason, the CUP included a condition that construction must begin within one year: 3. If construction work approved by this Conditional Use Permit has not begun within one year after the date of this approval, this Conditional Use Permit shall be void. Exceptions. the applicant may apply for an extension at least 30 -days prior to expiration of the Conditional Use Permit, and if the extension is granted by the City Council. Prior to beginning construction, the project must obtain approval of a Final Plat. This has been delayed in part, due to unresolved issues related to when & how a private driveway easement will be recorded, and pending acquisitions of the properties by the developer.
