Resolution 9212 Page 3 of 5 4. The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the City and to the existing land use. Finding: There are four car washes in Mounds View, the most recent built in 2009 (The Station). It is the City’s opinion that if the applicant has studied the local market, with confidence that the proposed car was will be supported by local residents, and the traveling public, then this use is reasonable. 5. The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use. Finding: The use is consistent with the Zoning Code, and the B-3 Highway Business district. 6. The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. Finding: The property is guided Highway Commercial in the Comprehensive Plan (2008). This use is defined as “Land use principally engaged in the provision of goods and services that primarily services customers attracted from a nearby major transportation route. Examples include hotels/motels, drive-in/fast food restaurants, car washes, gas stations, automotive service stations.” The proposed car wash is consistent with this guided land use. 7. The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion. Finding: Traffic will access the property from Bronson Drive, a local street. It is most likely that customers will access Bronson Drive from Long Lake Road. This is similar to the previous land use (Snyder’s Drug Store) 8. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be provided. Finding: There are adequate sewer/water utilities. Drainage plans will be reviewed by Rice Creek Watershed District and the City, during the building permit review. The applicant proposes to decrease the amount of impervious surface area. WHEREAS, in permitting a conditional use, the City Council may impose additional conditions which the City Council considers necessary to protect the best interest of the surrounding area or the community as a whole. These conditions are as follows: 1. The car wash shall not operate between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM.
