Planning Case MU2017-001 April 5, 2017 Page 3 The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map 3 guides the Mounds View Blvd corridor west of Fairchild Ave. for Mixed Use-Planned Unit Development (MU-PUD), including the four subject properties. The intent is for development to occur as a PUD for residential and commercial/office use, although, a “PUD” is not required. No amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is required nor proposed as part of this project. Planned Unit Developments require a minimum project size of 4-acres for Mixed Use PUD’s and 3-acres for Residential PUD’s.4 PUD’s allow for flexibility not otherwise permitted within the underlying zoning district (e.g. R-4 High Density Residential). The project size is 3.5 acres, and does not qualify as a Mixed Use-PUD. Further, the proposed project is consistent with the R-4 District, thus, the flexibility of a PUD is not necessary. The most recent PUD was for the Bel Rae assisted living facility (2010). Additionally, the properties are located within the County Road 10 Corridor Overlay District, which includes all properties within 200’ of Mounds View Blvd. (Co Rd 10). The Overlay District requires higher standards for building location, appearance, and landscaping. These regulations will be applicable during the Development Review process. The procedure for considering Zoning Map amendments AND Conditional Use Permits are described in City Code, Section 1125.01, and include the consideration of “Adverse Effects”. Staff’s analysis of these adverse effects are included in Resolution 1067-17 and Resolution 1068-17. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT: Multiple-Family Dwellings require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) within the R-4 zoning district.5 In addition to addressing the adverse effects mentioned above, the City Council must make eight Findings of Fact.6 These findings, and Staff’s analysis of each one is included in Resolutions 1068-17. Approval of the CUP will expire after one-year, unless MWF applies for a Major Subdivision and Development Review within that period, or if the City Council approves an extension. Other MWF Properties held a Neighborhood Meeting on February 16, 2017 at Lakes Run apartments, 321 Old Highway 8 in New Brighton. This project was developed by MWF Properties in 2005. MWF mailed notices to properties within 500’ of the project. Eleven property owners attended. 3 City of Mounds View Comprehensive Plan (2008), Figure 6: Future Land Use Map 4 City Code, Section 1120.03 (Special Requirements and Standards) 5 City Code, Section 1109.04, Subd 4 (Multiple Family Dwelling) 6 City Code, Section 1125.01, Subd 3(b) (Criteria for Granting Conditional Use Permits)
