Item No 10 D <br />Meeting Date: March 27, 2000 <br />Type of Business: CB <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor & City Council <br />From: James Ericson, Planner <br />Item Title/Subject: Consideration of Resolution 5419, a Resolution approving an Interim <br />Use Permit for Six Billboards to be Installed at the Bridges Golf <br />Course <br />Date of Report: March 22, 2000 <br />Background: <br /> <br />The City Council reviewed this request to allow billboards at the Bridges Golf Course as an interim <br />use at its March 13, 2000 meeting, tabling action until such time that the city code is amended to <br />allow for the granting of such interim use permits. <br /> <br />Ordinance 657 was drafted to effectuate such a change in the Zoning Code by creating a new <br />Chapter 1126, which adds the appropriate language to the Code pertaining to interim uses.

The Planning Commission arrived at the same conclusion. <br /> <br />As for the general conditional use requirements addressed in Section 1125.01, Subd. 3b., the Council finds <br />that the effects of the proposed interim use upon the Comprehensive Plan would be minimal and that the
