Mounds View Planning Commission March 1, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 19 Chairperson Peterson stated the Planning Commission voted in favor of this resolution, however, this does not indicate they are in favor of billboards, but rather that they must act in a different capacity than they had during the previous consideration. 6. Planning Case No. ZC00-001 Property Involved: Bridges Golf Course. Consideration of Resolution 607-00, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Zoning Change of Bridges Golf Course Parcels from I-1 and CRP to PF. Applicant: City of Mounds View Planning Associate Ericson gave the staff report as follows: This item is consideration of Resolution 607-00, which is a resolution recommending approval of the rezoning of Bridges Golf Course parcels from I-1, Industrial, and CRP, Conservancy, Recreation, and Preservation, to the PF, Public Facilities Zoning District. In the course of reviewing the City’s application for billboards on the golf course property, staff discovered that the zoning of the golf course is not consistent with the City Code, in that golf courses are not explicitly permitted uses within either the CRP or I-1 Zoning Districts. Planning Associate Ericson stated there has been some discussion on the part of City staff members that the City initiated a rezoning action on this property several years earlier, however, this had not taken place. He stated the proposed use is not in compliance with the zoning on the golf course. He advised that the PF Zoning District allows golf courses as a permitted use, and one of the parcels associated with the golf course is currently under the PF zoning designation. He explained that the proposal before the Planning Commission would rezone those parts of those parcels associated with the golf course from their existing CRP and I-1 zoning, to the PF designation. Planning Associate Ericson indicated Resolution 607-00 recommends to the City Council that they adopt Ordinance 655, which approves the rezoning of the golf course parcels. He stated the proposed PF zoning designation, is in keeping with the proposed Comprehensive Plan, whereas the existing designation is not necessarily consistent with the Plan. He explained that this proposal would clarify the fact that the use is not consistent with the Zoning Code, and also the fact that those zoning designations would not be consistent with the proposed Comprehensive Plan designation for these parcels. Chairperson Peterson stated a portion of the wetland between the Sysco property and the Industrial Park is currently zoned PF, as well as a portion of the golf course around the ninth hole. He stated he believed Outlot A, of the North Star Industrial Park 2nd Addition, is currently zoned I-1 and should be included in the rezoning as well.
