Mounds View Planning Commission August 18, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 6 • member, on the maximum shift. Ericson stated that Item I of Ordinance 639 discusses the parking requirements. He stated, rather than the parking requirement be subject to the Council's discretion, as presently indicated, the requested amendment could be made to this item. Ericson noted the parking requirements would be subject to review under the conditional use permit. Commissioner Laube stated if the requirement was indicated in the ordinance, it would provide a standard for these types of uses in the future. Acting Chair Miller stated this requirement did not take visitor parking into consideration. Ericson stated the visitor parking was represented within the stall to bed ratio. Council Liaison Stigney stated that some rooms could have more than one bed, and inquired if this had been taken into consideration in terms of the parking requirements. He noted the applicant had indicated some of the rooms might contain more than one bed. Ericson stated that the requirement should be based upon the number of beds, as this would also be the requirement for other facilities, which might have several beds per room. Ericson inquired if there were any further questions regarding Ordinance 631, pertaining to the rezoning of the property. Acting Chair Miller inquired if the language of the ordinance could be amended to state "The Council may act..." Commissioner Kaden inquired if the language could be • amended after the Commission took action on the ordinance. Ericson stated it could. He added the Planning Commission could indicate that Section 3 of the ordinance "may be amended prior to Council adoption," in the resolution recommending approval. Acting Chair Miller explained the Council might wish to make additional changes to Ordinance 631, as it was subject to their action. Ericson stated the resolution could also include a stipulation which states, "Now therefore, be it further resolved that prior to action by the City Council, the applicant will submit a revised site plan which shows the access onto County Road I, and the number of parking stalls that the Commission has indicated as appropriate." Carol Golden, 2749 Lake Court Drive, inquired how the applicant would control the entering and exiting to the property. Mr. Lewis stated they would probably utilize a sign, which indicates no entry property. Mr. Lewis stated there would be sufficient room for this, at the southwest corner of the parking lot. Cam Obert, 8315 Greenwood Drive, inquired regarding the proposed rezoning from B-2 to R-4, and if there had been any consideration to the small amount of zoned business space left within the City. He stated, as they were all aware, commercial zoning generates more tax dollars for the City, which would provide relief to the property owners. He inquired regarding the difference in tax generation, in terms of an R-4 use, and a typical B-2 business. He stated they should make the City attractive for businesses to come in, operate, and be successful. He noted the impending revision to the • Comprehensive Plan, and stated he considered the rezoning of property to be a very serious matter.
