Resolution 9108 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />Finding: The structure and site have an appearance of a rundown <br />property, as demonstrated by the frequent exterior storage of <br />inoperable vehicles, scattered debris and garbage in the <br />parking lot, dilapidated signage, and hazardous storage of <br />tires, presenting an eminent health threat to the community <br />should a fire occur. <br /> <br />(4) The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the <br />overall needs of the City and to the existing land use. <br /> <br />Finding: Within the Mounds View community and adjacent areas, <br />there are numerous tire retailers concentrated along <br />Highway 47, and Highway 65. There is not a tire retailer <br />within Mounds View other than auto repair shops (there are <br />three in Mounds View). It is reasonable that a Tire and <br />Minor Auto Repair Store would serve the overall needs of <br />the City, if operated appropriately. <br /> <br />(5) The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the <br />purposes of the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the <br />proposed use. <br /> <br />Finding: The intent of the Zoning Code is to protect the public health, <br />safety and general welfare of the community and its people <br />through the establishment of minimum regulations governing <br />development and use. <br /> <br />The use of the property for the improper storage of tires (e.g. <br />within semi-trailers) creates a significate threat to the public’s <br />health and safety in the event of a tire fire. Although the <br />semi-trailers have been removed as of May 6, 2019, the <br />property owner has a history of frequent code violations. <br />The City finds that the community has not benefited from the <br />approved CUP for Tire and Minor Auto Repair. <br /> <br />The B-3 Highway Business district does permit “limited retail <br />uses which have, as the principle use, sales with <br />warehousing or display secondary to that use.” <br /> <br />(6) The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> <br />Finding: The approved use (Tire and Minor Auto Repair Store) as <br />operated by Tires N’More (e.g. auto repair has not been <br />operational), conflicts with the following goals and policies of <br />the Comprehensive Plan (2010):
