Explanation/Summary(attach supplement sheets as necessary) Summary: The applicant, Mounds View Assoc. LLP, owns the Mounds View Square Shopping Center. They are anticipating an expansion of the shopping center to include 5,000 additional feet of retail space, and two dinner house style restaurants which would replace Bridgeman's and Hardee's. There are 477 parking spaces on the site. The expansion will result in 23 parking spaces being eliminated, leaving 454 parking spaces on site. The Planning Commission has approved a variance in the parking ratios which would be applied to the retail space and the dinner house restaurants such that 492 spaces are required for the shopping center with the expansion. . he applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for the joint use of parking facilities at the Mounds View Square Shopping Center as is provided in Section 1121.15 of the Zoning Code. This section allows parking requirements to be adjusted where there are two or more uses located on the same property which have offsetting parking demands, i.e. certain uses are primarily daytime uses and other uses are primarily nighttime or Sunday uses. Uses listed as primarily daytime uses are: • banks,business offices,retail stores,personal service shops,household equipment or furniture shops,clothing or shoe repair or service shops,manufacturing,wholesale and similar uses. Uses listed as primarily nighttime or Sunday uses include: • auditoriums incidental to a public or parochial school,churches,bowling alley,dance hall,theaters,bar or restaurant. Section 1121.15 allows 50% of the off-street parking facilities needed for nighttime and Sunday uses to be provided by the parking provided for daytime uses, and 50% of the off street parking facilities needed for daytime uses to be provided by the parking provided for nighttime and Sunday uses. Mounds View Square includes both types of uses. The reduction from 492 to 454 parking spaces represents an 8% allowance for joint parking. The criteria for granting this type of conditional use permit are stated in Section 1121.15 Subd. 1.b(6). These criteria appear in City Council Resolution No. 5041, along with findings as to how the criteria are met (see attached resolution). 111 RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission, on a vote of 7 ayes and 0 nays, and the staff recommend approval of this conditional use permit. A copy of Planning Commission Resolution No. 486-96 is attached.
