Item No: 9I Meeting Date: June 9, 2003 Type of Business: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mounds View Mayor and City Council From: James Ericson, Acting City Administrator Item Title/Subject: First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 716, an Ordinance Amending the Zoning Code to Require a Conditional Use Permit for Expansions to Existing Multi- Family Developments Introduction: Recently I spoke to the City Council about a situation concerning multi-family developments and our inability to deny certain types of expansions. The Council suggested the Planning Commission examine the issue and make a recommendation. The Planning Commission has reviewed the issue and has made a recommendation for the Council’s consideration. Their resolution and ordinance is attached. Discussion: The method by which control can be exercised is by requiring all existing developments to go through a conditional use process to expand density (the number of individual dwelling units.) The following language was proposed and the Planning Commission supported such an amendment: Multi-Family developments having been constructed prior to January 1, 2003 shall first obtain a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) prior to expanding the number of dwelling units or the principal building footprint. In addition to the criteria outlined in Section 1125, all zoning, building and parking requirements shall be satisfied as a condition of approval. Recommendation: Staff and the Planning Commission recommend introduction and first reading or Ordinance 716, an ordinance amending the Zoning Code to require a Conditional Use Permit for Expansions to Existing Multi-Family Developments. _____________________________________ James Ericson Interim City Clerk/Administrator Attachments: 1.
