Res 9495 Page 2 of 3 WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning and Zoning Commission considered the application, and recommended Approval with Findings (Resolution 1140-21); and, WHEREAS, Mounds View City Code §160.452(B) establishes the Criteria for granting Conditional Use Permits (Findings in italics): The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area; Finding: The use will not create an excessive burden on public facilities. 2. The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and there will be no deterrence to development of vacant land; Finding: The outdoor kennel will be about 20' set back from adjacent residential property, 2285 Groberg Street, and about 25' set back from the adjacent apartment building. Adequate screening shall be required, to include a solid fence 6' — 8' in height, and planting of trees between the kennel and adjacent apartment building. 3. The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties; Finding: Adequate screening shall be required. 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: The need has been demonstrated by the applicant. 5. The use is consistent with the purposes of this chapter and the purposes of the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use; Finding: Mounds View City Code §160.183(C) (Veterinary clinics, animal clinics and animal boarding facilities), specific to ventilation requirements, will be addressed through the Building Permit review. 6. The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the city; Finding: Animal Boarding is not specifically addressed in the Comprehensive Plan. It does relate to Land Use Goals and Policies; Goal 1 (Stabilize and strengthen neighborhoods); Ensure redevelopment complements adjacent land uses and character. When considering development, preserve vegetative buffers between different land uses when possible and establish vegetative buffers when none exist. Adequate screening shall be required, to include a solid fence 6' — 8' in height, and planting of trees between the kennel and adjacent apartment building.
