Item No: 7B <br />Meeting Date: May 24, 2010 <br />Type of Business: Public Hearing <br />Administrator Review: _______ <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate <br />Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing for the Introduction and First Reading of <br />Ordinance 845, a Zoning Code Text Amendment to Add <br />“Thrift Store” and Other Types of Businesses as <br />Permitted Uses in the B-1 Zoning District <br /> <br />Introduction: <br /> <br />Dawn Huffman has applied to the City for a zoning code text amendment to add “thrift store” <br />as a permitted use in the B-1, Neighborhood Business district. She wants the City to make <br />this change so she may open a thrift store in the vacant space at 2408 County Road I. <br /> <br />City staff recently noticed remodeling work occurring in the former laundromat space in the <br />building at 2408 County Road I. (This property is zoned B-1, Neighborhood Business). After <br />talking to the people working in this space, City staff learned that they planned to open a thrift <br />store. After reviewing the B-1 zoning code, City staff informed this potential new business <br />owner, along with the building owner, that the existing B-1 zoning code does not allow thrift <br />stores. In fact, there are now only five permitted uses in the B-1 zoning district: barbershops, <br />beauty parlors, convenience grocery stores (not supermarket type), self-service laundromats <br />and essential services (utility or government uses). The City may allow a daycare center in <br />the B-1 district with the approval of a conditional use permit. City staff spoke to the thrift <br />storeowner about this situation, and she has now applied to the City for a zoning code text <br />amendment for the B-1 zoning district. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />According to the Zoning Code, the purpose of the B-1 district is as follows: <br /> <br />The purpose of the B-1, Neighborhood Business District, is to provide for the <br />establishment of local centers for convenient, limited office, retail or service outlets <br />which deal directly with the customer for whom the goods or services are furnished. <br />These centers are to provide services and goods for the surrounding neighborhoods <br />and are not intended to draw customers from the entire community. <br /> <br />Staff researched what other cities allow in zoning districts that are comparable to Mounds <br />View’s B-1 district. All seven of the zoning codes from the other cities that staff reviewed allow <br />several uses in their similar neighborhood business districts. In general, all of the other cities <br />zoning codes allow service businesses such as medical clinics and offices, along with several <br />different types of retail in their respective neighborhood or limited business district zoning <br />districts. <br />
