PA2011-001 Consideration of an Amendment to the Mounds View Business Park South Planned Unit Development (PUD) to Allow Indoor Recreational Uses; Planning Case PA2011-001 Planning Associate Heller indicated Scott Nagel, representing “Zero Gravity Trampoline Park,” has applied for an amendment to the Mounds View Business Park South Planned Unit Development (PUD). This 17-acre PUD, located on the southeast corner of County Road 10 and Wooddale Drive, has three large buildings with a total of 270,000 square feet of space. The south business park was developed for manufacturing, assembly, warehouse storage and office uses. Mr. Nagel is requesting an amendment to the PUD so that he can open a trampoline park business in one of the buildings. The amendment would broaden the scope to allow for indoor recreational uses within the South Business Park PUD. Virtual golf simulators and gymnastics are other similar recreational type businesses often found in industrial parks because of the large spaces and high ceilings found in these buildings. Associate Heller reviewed the alignment of this use with the Comprehensive Plan. City Staff was in favor with the amendment and felt the proposed use coincided with Mounds View’s Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Miller expressed concern about potential injuries with a trampoline park. Associate Heller stated this was an existing concept and the applicant would have proper management onsite along with insurance. Chair Stevenson questioned why the applicant was choosing the middle of a building and not an end space. Scott Nagel, the applicant, explained Bays 1-3 had potential tenants at this time and the leasing company offered Bays 4-7 to him.
