Resolution 6891 Page 2 WHEREAS, the City Council held a public hearing regarding this request on Monday, June 26, 2006; and, WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed Chapters 1108 and 1125 of the Mounds View Zoning Code pertaining to the R-3 zoning district and Rezoning process, respectively; and, WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the land use component of the Comprehensive Plan relative to this request; and, WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the site plans and building elevations associated with this request; and, WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed and considered the Planning Commission’s resolution recommending denial of the requested rezoning. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View City Council makes the following findings regarding the possible adverse effects of this proposed rezoning request as required by the Mounds View Zoning Code: 1. The current zoning of the lots is R-1, Single Family Residential and B-3, Highway Business. The requested zoning of the lots is R-3, Medium Density Residential. 2. According to the Comprehensive Plan, the parcels proposed to be included in the development are designated Mixed-Use PUD on the Future Land Use map. 3. The rezoning and associated development plan as proposed would adversely affect adjacent property owners by compromising privacy and substantially increasing area densities. 4. The proposed residential density is too intense given the surrounding single family dwellings and does not fit the character of the existing neighborhood. 5. The residential rezoning for townhomes is not consistent with the redevelopment expectations of the City for this area. 6. No compelling basis has been submitted to justify the requested rezoning.
