To Approve Resolution 736-03, a Resolution <br />Recommending the Rezoning of All Parcels Within the PF, Public Facility Zoning District. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 6 Nays – 0 Motion carried <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />7. Consider Resolution 737, a Resolution Recommending Revisions to Draft Ordinance <br />711 Relating to the Zoning of Pawnshops in the City of Mounds View. Special <br />Planning Case SP-114-03 <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson indicated that the City Council had asked that the <br />Planning Commission discuss the issue of overlay zoning for the pawnshop and other adult <br />oriented businesses and provided an update on the previous discussions. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated this would be a continued discussion regarding pawnshops in the City <br />of Mounds View with the Commission needing to make a recommendation as to which overlay <br />district to recommend to the Council. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated the second item in question is whether it would be appropriate to <br />include other land uses in the overlay district. He then said that the Planning Commission has <br />indicated that it does not feel that creating a red light district within the City is a good idea and <br />the City Attorney has agreed. <br /> <br />Acting Chair Miller asked Staff to explain an overlay district. <br /> <br />Director Ericson explained that an overlay district is a geographical district defined by property <br />lines or streets that is another layer of allowed use within a zoning district but does not change <br />the zoning of the parcels it sits on top of. <br /> <br />Acting Chair Miller asked whether all the regulations recommended by the Commission would <br />still apply to the pawnshop. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that they would. <br /> <br />Acting Chair Miller asked if anyone had heard reaction from the businesses located within the <br />proposed overlay district. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that there would be a public hearing for taking public comment on the <br />proposed district. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn asked whether the City has fulfilled its obligation by providing an overlay <br />district within which a pawnshop could locate. <br />
