Mounds View Planning Commission October 6, 2021 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Commissioner Nelson questioned if parking would become a concern with densities that are 50+. <br />Community Development Director Sevald explained the Commission was not being asked to <br />consider parking requirements at this time. He then reviewed the City’s parking requirements for <br />multi-family units. He explained he was uncertain that Mounds View would ever have a <br />development come before the City that was 50+ units per acre. He stated staff would have to <br />look at other communities regarding their parking requirements along with the market demand. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nelson commented it was very rare that homes were built with only one stall. He <br />anticipated that there would be a demand for parking in multi-family housing going forward and <br />that the number of spaces required should not go down. <br /> <br />Commissioner Munson agreed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Monn inquired if the City had language in place to not have apartment buildings <br />clustered but rather spread out throughout the community. Community Development Director <br />Sevald explained he recalled this being in the Housing Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. He <br />reported apartments were more appropriate along major thoroughfares. He indicated apartments <br />were more clustered along Mounds View Boulevard and along major county roads. <br /> <br />Commissioner Stevenson stated he supported the proposed density change. <br /> <br />Chair Rundle closed the public hearing at 7:12 p.m. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Nelson/Commissioner Stevenson. To approve Resolution <br />1138-21, a Resolution Recommending Approval of an Amendment to the 2040 Comprehensive <br />Plan. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 7 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />6. Reports <br /> <br />A. Upcoming Planning Cases & Activity <br /> <br />Community Development Director Sevald discussed upcoming planning cases with the <br />Commission. He reported staff had two upcoming cases, one for a driveway variance and the <br />other for the redevelopment of the Skyline property. <br /> <br />B.
