Item No: 7B <br />Meeting Date: July 24, 2013 <br />Type of Business: Other Planning Activity <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Planning Commission <br />From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate <br />Item Title/Subject: County Road 10 Corridor Discussion <br /> <br /> <br />The corridor is the City Council’s priority this year and the Planning Commission has been <br />asked to review the Zoning Code in order to better promote and accommodate <br />development along County Road 10. <br /> <br />The Commission has started by focusing on creating a PUD Corridor Overlay District and <br />reducing the acreage size requirements for the projects on the corridor. Staff has put <br />together language for a PUD overlay district for the Commission to review and discuss. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission has talked about changing the style and height allowances of <br />the signage that is along the Corridor to only allow monument style signs, and to reduce <br />the 15 foot setback amount. The Commission may opt to amend the sign code rather <br />than having different requirements for the corridor. The majority of the commercial <br />signage is along the corridor so it may make more sense to have the sign code be <br />consistent for the whole City. Chapter 1008, Signs and Billboards is attached for the <br />Commission to discuss possible amendments. Chapter 1008.09 Subd. 2 and Subd. 3, <br />and 1008.10 Subd. 1 are the sections of the code for height and setback. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />Continue the discussion about County Road 10 Corridor District amendments that would <br />promote and support development on the corridor. <br /> <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Heidi Heller, Planning Associate <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1. Proposed PUD language for County Road 10 Corridor Overlay District <br />2. Chapter 1008, Signs and Billboards <br />
