Resolution 9653 Page 2 of 3 WHEREAS, the City Council also moved to table the action on the Preliminary Plat and PUD and Development Review until the written statement for denial of the Zoning Map Amendment could be considered by the City Council at its regular meeting scheduled on December 27, 2022; and WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds and determines as follows with respect to the denial of the Applicant's requests: a. The Property is currently zoned R-1 Residential. b. The rezoning of land is a policy decision the City Council must make upon considering a number of factors, including, but not necessarily limited to, the zoning of surrounding land, the types of uses that will be allowed on the land if it is rezoned, the impacts of those uses in the area given the surrounding uses and the ability of the public infrastructure and services to accommodate those uses; c. The proposed use of the Property is rezoned as requested would conflict with the residential uses in the area, including those residential uses that are directly to the east and west of the Property and in other locations nearby; d. The proposal requires too many deviations from the standards for planned unit developments that are established in the City Code, including the following: i. Increased density; ii. Reduction in usable open space; iii. Elimination of trees on the project site; iv. Reduction in available parking from the established standard; V. Reductions in setbacks; and vi. Deviation from external building materials standards; e. Rezoning of the Property from R-1 Single Family Residential to PUD Planned Unit Development is not, for the reasons stated herein, in the best interests of the City or the public health, safety, and welfare; f. Having determined that rezoning the Property, as requested, is not appropriate, the request to approve a preliminary plat for the Property to accommodate the 140-unit apartment building, must also be denied; and g. Having determined that rezoning the Property, as requested, is not appropriate, the PUD and Developmental Review must also be denied. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the city council of the City of Mounds View, as follows: 1. The above set -forth preamble and recitals are incorporated into and made a part of this Resolution and constitute the finds of the City Council concerning this matter.
