City Council Resolution No. 5007 4110 October 29, 1996 Page 5 WHEREAS, the City Council does hereby make the following findings of fact regarding this conditional use permit request with respect to the criteria set forth in Section 1125.01 Subd. 3.b. for the review of conditional use permits. The criteria are noted below, and have been grouped to avoid repetitive findings. (1) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities will serve or are proposed to serve the area. (7) The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion. (8) Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be provided. The New Apostolic Church proposes to hold Sunday School at 8:45-9:30 AM, two Sunday church services at 10:00-11:00 AM and 5:00-6:00 PM, and a Wednesday evening service from 8:00-9:00 PM. The maximum seating in the church is 98 people; the current congregation is 55 people. Because the use is a church, rather than residential homes, it is not anticipated to create a demand on parks or schools. Both water and sewer service adequate to support this use is available to the site. The site is served by two streets, County Road H and Pleasant View Drive. Given the limited number of services and the size of the congregation, the amount of traffic is anticipated to be low and will occur on weekends or evening rather than during peak commute times. S The City Engineer has reviewed the applicant's drainage proposal and indicated that the rate of runoff should not be a problem and the grass treatment areas will provide enough water quality treatment. Drainage will now be directed to County Road H and will flow through grassed areas to allow sediments to percolate before runoff water leaves the site. The Rice Creek Watershed District has stated that a permit from them is not required. The City Council finds that criteria (1), (7) and (8) have been met. (4) The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the City and to the existing land use. (6) The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. The Zoning Code envisions the development of churches in residential neighborhoods, and there are five other churches in Mounds View. The applicant has testified that a number of the members of this church are from the Mounds View area, and desire to locate the church closer to their homes. (Comments on the Comprehensive Plan will be provided at the City Council meeting on October 29.) The City Council finds that criteria (4) and (6) have been met (pending the comments on the Comprehensive Plan). •
