• Mounds View Planning Commission July 7, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 20 in August. He stated that if there was a consensus among the Commissioners, staff could draft a resolution, which could be completely re-drafted at their next meeting if necessary. Commissioner Stevenson requested information on the difference between the tax base for an R-4 versus a B-2 development. Ericson stated that staff could provide that information. Chair Peterson stated that another issue is the intensity of the use, and added that, in his opinion, a less intensive use than B-2 commercial would be more desirable at this location. Commissioners Miller and Stevenson stated that they agreed. Chair Peterson requested clarification from Commissioner Kaden regarding his view on R-4 zoning. Commissioner Kaden stated that his view was not specific to this proposal, but a general observation. He added however, that this proposal did seem like a lower intensity use of the property than a commercial use in regard to traffic, and that at this point he was undecided. Commissioner Stevenson asked what percentage of R-4 property in the City is non-rental. He stated that this proposal would not be the same as an apartment building, noting that primarily, what they have in Mounds View R-4 districts are rental units, which are what they were trying to avoid. • Commissioner Stevenson stated that he did not think the subject property would be very conducive to that type of change. Ericson stated that it would not meet any of the Building or Fire Code requirements. Commissioner Johnson stated that he would like to see a list of businesses that would be acceptable at that location, noting that there were a number of low-density businesses that could work at that location as well. Chair Peterson stated that it appeared they had only a general consensus among the Commissioners. Ericson asked if he should delay setting the public hearing for the July 26 Council Meeting. Commissioner Miller stated yes. Mr. Pinkerton asked when the public hearing could be set. Ericson stated that it was a matter of sending proper notification to the public, and having enough time to send the notice to the newspaper, which requires a seven-day advance in addition to the legal requirement of ten days. He stated that he could set the public hearing for the August 9th City Council meeting, and that staff would continue to research the issues, and bring them forward at the next Planning Commission meeting. 8.
