MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 719-03 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION DENYING A VARIANCE FROM THE MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENT FOR A PROPOSED MULTIPLE DWELLING EXPANSION FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2075 HILLVIEW ROAD; PLANNING CASE NO. VR03-001 WHEREAS, The applicant, Thuy Thi Bui, has applied for a variance from the minimum parking requirement for a multiple-family dwelling; and, WHEREAS, The applicant is proposing to expand the existing four-unit dwelling to a six-unit dwelling; and WHEREAS, the property is zoned R-3, Medium Density Residential, which allows a six- unit dwelling; and WHEREAS, The City Code requires 1.5 parking spaces per unit plus 1 garage space per unit; and, WHEREAS, The property currently has 12 parking spaces, of which only 2 are garage spaces; and WHEREAS, according to Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View Municipal Code, the Planning Commission is to review a standard set of criteria, of which all must be satisfied, in order to grant a variance to the Zoning Code. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission makes the following finding of facts related to this request: 1. There are no exceptional or extraordinary conditions relating to this request or to the property. 2. The literal interpretation of the Zoning Code, Chapter 1121, Parking Requirements, does not deny the applicant rights commonly enjoyed by other R-3 properties. 3. The applicant, by virtue of the desire to expand the building, has caused the conditions which necessitate the variance request. 4. Granting the variance would confer upon the applicant a special privilege not enjoyed by others in this zoning district. 5. Granting the variance would be detrimental to the neighborhood in that parking problems already present would be exacerbated.
