Item No: 08B Meeting Date: June 24, 2019 MOUNDS VIEW Type of Business: Council Business City Administrator Review: City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Jon Sevald, Community Development Director Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing; First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 958, Amending the Zoning Map for 2390, 2394, Mounds View Boulevard and 2400 County Road H2 Introduction: INH Properties is proposing to develop a 128 -unit apartment building at the south corner of Mounds View Boulevard and County Road H2. The project involves multiple planning applications, including a request to rezone the applicable properties from B-3 Highway Business to PUD Planned Unit Development. Discussion: The properties previously had commercial uses (e.g. restaurant, gas station, car wash), consistent with the B-3 designation, and are guided as Mixed Use MU -PUD in the Comprehensive Plan.' 2 As proposed, an apartment of this size would be a Conditional Use (CUP) in the R-4 High Density Residential district. The proposed project includes deviations from the City Code, which may be allowed as a Planned Unit Development (PUD), as an alternative to obtaining variances to the Code. PUD's are a Conditional Use only within the PUD district, thus, the next step in the project review process is to rezone the properties from B-3 to PUD. Analysis The purpose of the PUD district is "to provide for the integration and coordination of land parcels as well as the combination of varying types of residential, commercial and industrial uses." Within the PUD district, all permitted and conditional uses in all districts, are a Permitted Use in the PUD district. There may be different types of PUD's such as Residential, Commercial - Industrial, and Mixed -Use. This project will be Residential. Once zoned PUD, the intent is that all uses will be consistent with an approved PUD Narrative, to be approved as part of the CUP process. Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Continue BR&E program, maximize utilization of development space and current list of available sites, encourage land owners to maintain their properties, & consider residential development. Financial Impact: None. Summary INH Properties is proposing to build a 128 -unit apartment building, requiring multiple planning approvals, including rezoning the properties from B-3 Highway Business to PUD Planned Unit Development. A Public Hearing Notice was published in the June 12, 2019 Bulletin, and mailed to property owners and occupants within 700' of the project (twice the required distance), Mounds View Comprehensive Plan (2008), Figure 6: Future Land Use Map Note: The Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides the properties as Mixed Use.
