The 111/ theater would be operated by Carmike Cinemas. The property is located at 2430 Highway 10 and is bounded by Highway 10, Long Lake Road, and County Road H2. (See Attachment 2: Vicinity Map) It includes approximately 24 acres. In addition, the applicant is requesting approval of a general concept plan, which is the first of three steps in using PUD zoning. Action on the rezoning ordinance and on the general concept plan must be preceded by a public hearing. The general concept plan is shown in the enclosed blueprint drawing and in Attachment 3. The plan shows the general location for the theater building and the three office buildings. The restaurants are proposed for Parcels A and B. A detailed layout for the restaurants would be provided on the development stage plan. The Mounds View Zoning Code includes a Planned Unit Development(PUD) district. Planned Unit Development Zoning was created to provide greater flexibility in the combinations of uses allowed on a development site, and greater control over development design, landscaping and signage,protection of natural features and preservation of open space. It allows for the creation of a customized set of development regulations for a particular proposal. It specifies the allowed uses and densities, setbacks and height limits, development requirements and may specify phasing of development, requirements to provide improvements, and what other approvals are needed before construction begins. The dimensional requirements may vary from the requirements in standard zoning districts (like B-1 or R- 1), and the list of permitted uses may be narrower. Planned unit developments are always tied to a site plan which shows the general layout of the development, and which can be used to show required buffers, landscaping, screening and open space. More detailed plans may be required at subsequent steps. Once a planned unit development is approved,the project must proceed according to the approved plan. Any substantive changes must go through an amendment process similar to the original approval(i.e. Planning Commission and City Council review and public hearings).
