Such a facility would help meet the housing needs of a particular segment of the community. The property is located between commercial sites to the north and a high density residential development and park to the south. The proposed use would act as a buffer between the existing land uses. The proposed style and architectural design of the proposed facility would blend into and add character to this area. WHEREAS, The Mounds View City Council 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. This development, while not abutting any residential property, would be sufficiently compatible with the existing land uses and would not cause any foreseeable depreciation in neighboring property values.
