Item No: 05A Meeting Date: June 5, 2019 MQMND_S VIEW Type of Business: Planning Case MU 19-001 City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mounds View Planning Commission From: Jon Sevald, Community Development Director Item Title/Subject: Resolution 1097-19, Recommending Approval of Ordinance 958, an Amendment to the Zoning Map, Rezoning 2390, 2394 Mounds View Boulevard, and 2400 County Road H2 from B-3 Highway Business, to PUD Planned Unit Development (Planning Case MU19-001) 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. "3 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. 1 Mounds View Comprehensive Plan (2008), Figure 6: Future Land Use Map 2 Note: The Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides the properties as Mixed Use. 3 City Code, Section 1119.01 (Purpose)
