Mounds View City Council January 11, 2016 Regular Meeting Page 3 1 Council Member Gunn asked if staff had conducted the analysis and distance requirements in 2 order for the site to be considered a liquor store. City Administrator Ericson stated staff has not 3 completed this analysis. He reported the site could not be a liquor store until the applicant 4 received a liquor license from the City. He provided comment on the other B2 zoning uses that 5 could operate at this location. 6 7 Council Member Gunn further discussed the numerous uses that could be brought to this site and 8 supported the property being updated. 9 10 Council Member Mueller thanked staff for providing the Council with clear definitions of both 11 the B1 and B2 zoning districts. She too feared that another liquor store may not be the proper fit 12 for the site. However, she did support the corner being redeveloped and noted a liquor store was 13 not the only use allowed within the B2 zoning district. 14 15 Council Member Hull questioned if a liquor store would bring about a greater depreciation on the 16 neighborhood than the previous convenience store had, due to trash, noise and increased traffic. 17 City Administrator Ericson stated this may be a possibility but noted this would be difficult to 18 quantify given the fact the site already had trash concerns. 19 20 Mayor Flaherty commented the request before the Council was to rezone the property from B1 to 21 B2 and not to approve a liquor store. City Attorney Riggs advised this was the case. 22 23 Council Member Meehlhause indicated he had his doubts that another liquor store would thrive 24 in the community. However, this would not keep him from supporting the zoning change as a 25 chance from B1 to B2 would offer the applicant more options for the site. 26 27 A member of the audience suggested the City place public garbage cans at the corner of County 28 Road I to assist with the trash situation on this property. 29 30 MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Meehlhause. To Waive the First Reading and Introduce 31 Ordinance 912, an Ordinance Approving the Rezoning of 2408 County Road I from B1, 32 Neighborhood Business, to B2, Limited Business. 33 34 Ayes – 4 Nays – 1 (Hull) Motion carried. 35 36 C.
