• City of Mounds View Staff Report May 9, 1997 Page 5 • Attachment 1 History of Efforts to Update the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan The 1979 Comprehensive Plan(approved by the City Council on July 26, 1982) divided the City into 12 planning districts, and included a map showing proposed land use for each district. The O'Neil property is located in District 1. The 1979 map shows this property proposed for medium density residential development. From this point, a series of efforts were undertaken to update the Comprehensive Plan and gain consistency between the Comprehensive Plan and zoning, which are described in below. We have included this history to give the Planning Commission an indication of the thinking which has occurred about District 1 and the O'Neil property. • 1983: A series of Planning Commission discussions were held on lots where the zoning and comprehensive plan designations were in conflict, in particular along Highway 10. It is not known how the situation on the O'Neil property was viewed. ■ 1986-1989: The Comprehensive Plan Update '88 was prepared and a series of joint City Council and Planning Commission meetings were held on this document. The copies on • file do not have district maps with land use. The differences between comprehensive plan designations and zoning designations is discussed as an issue, and the list of properties in this situation includes the O'Neil property. There is a discussion of the problems associated with down zoning properties. The 1988 Update includes a Trunk Highway 10 Corridor Plan which places the O'Neil property in the"Community Center District". Revised text for District 1 was prepared in 1989, which said much less than the earlier description. Not adopted. ■ 1990: A Comprehensive Plan Update '90 was prepared and transmitted to the City Council and Planning Commission on July 13, 1990. The O'Neil property was shown for highway commercial and medium density residential with the dividing line being more-or- less the dividing line between the two zoning districts on the property. Not adopted. • 1991: New maps were prepared for the districts, showing the O'Neil property as"Mixed Use -LD/MD" for the O'Neil property, or low density and medium density residential. (See Attachment 5.) The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 318-91 recommending to the City Council adoption of the plan dated August 1991. This plan included the following guideline: "The existing City government offices,community parks and recreational areas should serve as the area to be identified as City Center,the focal point of the community. This component of the City would also be a suitable location for • additional office park facilities,should the market support such expansion."
