ExplanatioNSuntmnry nntach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY: Agenda Section: -8. Report Number. 93-670WS Report Date: 10-28-93 At the request of the Council, Staff has put together a summary of the requirements which apply to the establishment of all new and used car lots located within the City of Mounds View. The guidelines and their corresponding Chapters in the Municipal Code are as follows: Chanter 40 "Zoning" Allows, as a permitted use, the sale of motor vehicles (both new and used) within B-3, Highway Business and, B-4, Regional Business Districts. The Chapter goes on to require that any principal or accessory use which involves open or outdoor service, sale or rental of merchandise obtain a Conditional Use Permit for the operation. This requirement applies to most motor vehicle sales operations and leads to the need for Conditional Use Permit review. The Conditional Use Permit review would be subject to the guidelines outlined in Section 40.25 (copy attached). Chapter 59 "Building Permits and Fees" Section 59.07 Subdivision (2) requires that all proposed industrial, commercial and residential developments and expansion of existing facilities shall be subject to Planning Commission and City Council review and approval. This requirement does not apply to expansions of facilities where public utilities and streets have previously been installed. These "Development Controls" would be most applicable in the case of a new development. Chapter 109 "New and Used Cars" Chapter 109 covers the licensing of car dealerships within the City. Specifically, it outlines the criteria which must be met in order for a license to be granted for the operation. Daul Earri:C on.. Cit, `lmme_
