Resolution 901 - 09 Page 2 2. The request is consistent with the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan in that the outdoor sales would be a type of land use that is consistent with the "Community Commercial" and "Mixed Use" and land use designations for the Robert's site. 3. The seasonal outside and outdoor sales would not be out of place given the existing character of the surrounding area. 4. The proposed outdoor sales should not depreciate the neighboring properties. 5. The applicant has sufficiently demonstrated that a need exists for this land use.
