<br />Resolution 835-06 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed Chapters 1108 <br />and 1125 of the Mounds View Zoning Code pertaining to the R-3 zoning district and <br />Rezoning process, respectively; and, <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the land use <br />component of the Comprehensive Plan relative to this request; and, <br /> <br />WHEREAS, The Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the site plans <br />associated with this request. <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission <br />makes the following findings regarding the possible adverse effects of this proposed <br />rezoning request as required by the Mounds View Zoning Code: <br /> <br />1. The current zoning of the lots is R-1, Single Family Residential and B-3, Highway <br />Business. The requested zoning of the lots is R-3, Medium Density Residential. <br /> <br />2. According to the Comprehensive Plan, the parcels proposed to be included in the <br />development are designated Mixed-Use PUD on the Future Land Use map. <br /> <br />3. The rezoning and associated development plan as proposed would adversely affect <br />adjacent property owners by compromising privacy and substantially increasing area <br />densities. <br /> <br />4. The proposed density, while not inconsistent with the Code requirements for a 3-acre <br />parcel, is too intense given the surrounding single family dwellings and does not fit the <br />character of the existing neighborhood. <br /> <br />5. The residential rezoning is not consistent with the redevelopment expectations of the <br />City for this area. <br /> <br />6. No compelling basis to justify the requested rezoning has been presented. <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, based upon the above findings, <br />the information and documents regarding the proposed rezoning, the report drafted by staff <br />and the testimony of the applicant, and in consideration of the public testimony given at the <br />public hearing, the Planning Commission does hereby recommend denial of the rezoning <br />request made by Integra Homes. <br /> <br />BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Planning Commission directs staff to forward <br />this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes. <br />
