Holiday Produce Cup Planning Case 564-99 July 21, 1999 Page 2 Analysis: This produce stand would be similar to the Merryville operation at Moundsview Square. Signage for the produce stand will be accomplished with small banners affixed to the stand and covering. As was done for the Linder's and Merryville, the conditional use permit for Holiday is drafted in such a way so that future appearances before the Planning Commission and City Council are not required. This allowance is conditioned on many factors, not the least of which is that there be no problems associated with the operation this year. The CUP would then remain in effect indefinitely so long as there are no changes to the operation and the applicant resubmit a letter of intent and site plan each year in advance. CUP Requirements: The criteria for approval of a conditional use permit appear in Section 1114.04, Subd. 5 of the Mounds View Municipal Code. They are as follows: a. Outdoor service, sales and equipment rental connected with the principal use is limited to thirty percent (30%) of the gross floor area of the principal use. The Holiday Stationstore building contains approximately 6,500 square feet of building area. The proposed produce stand would occupy 144 square feet of the property, which is about 2% of the building square footage on the site. b. Outside sales areas are fenced or screened from view of neighboring residential uses or an abutting residential district in compliance with Subdivisions 1103.08(1) - (5) of this Title. The produce stand would be screened from the neighboring yet -to -be completed Realife Cooperative senior residential complex by the Holiday building. c. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source shall not be visible from the public right of way or from neighboring residences and shall be in compliance with Section 1103.09 of the Code. • The applicant will not have any lighting associated with the produce stand as it will be operating during daylight hours. d. Sales area is grassed or surfaced to control dust. The applicant is proposing to use the lawn area adjacent to the north bank of parking stalls instead of taking up space in the parking lot. e. The open or outdoor service, sale or rental use does not take up parking spaces as required for conformity of this Title. The produce stand would not be located in the parking lot and it is expected that the majority of the customers would be drawn from those already on the premises for gas or convenience products. •
