. Mounds View Planning Commission Page 5 September 11, 1996 Information from Other Cities: In the time since your last meeting, staff has have been able to gather some information on how other cities handle setbacks for parking lots. This information is summarized in the chart below. City Minimum Setback for Parking Minimum to Residential Uses* Minimum Lot Size or Lots Coverage Limit Arden Hills unknown* 75'from adjacent residential lot Maplewood 15'from street ROW 20'if adjacent property is used or 5' from property lines* shown in land use plan for residential use New Brighton 30'front yard no change FAR for principal structure other 30'from street ROW than residence is .3 5'side or rear yard* (total sq. ft. in building cannot exceed 30%of sq. ft. in lot Roseville 30'front yard 30'if adjacent lot in residential • 5'side or rear yard in R-1,R-2, district(proposed) R-3,R-3A,R-4,R-5 15'side or rear in R-6,R-7 Shoreview 20'from street ROW 20'if adjacent property is in 5'side or rear yard* residential district Mounds View 5'from street ROW except in no change B-1,B-2,B-3,B-4 =30' I-1 =40' 5'side or rear yard * setback for parking lots changes when abutting residential uses The chart shows that, with the exception of New Brighton and Mounds View, the cities surveyed increase the required side and rear setbacks to parking lots for nonresidential uses abutting residential properties. The typical amount is between 20 and 30 feet. Arden Hills is as much as 75 feet. (It should be noted that the requirement shown for Roseville is proposed. They are considering an ordinance amendment to increase the requirement for parking lot setbacks for churches for much the same reason as Mounds View.) Field Conditions: Staff has not had an opportunity to research field conditions in Mounds View to determine the impact of the proposed ordinance changes on existing churches, schools and • businesses. We are hoping to do so before your meeting on September 18, and will report at that time.
