Steve Thatcher 31 January 1985 Page four '^ The rezoning would make the existing g.is stdtion a nuncunluruing use and subject to the nonconforming use provisions of the hounds View Zoning Ordinance. The rezoning would inhibit the commercial use of the site and promote residential redevelopment. The procedure used to implement the reroning would be: Place a development moritorimm on the area being considered for rezoning. 2. Conduct a rezoning study to detvrmiue the appruprlaty zoning district for the area. 3. Process the rezoning in accurdauce with the City's zuniug procedures. If upon review of the applicant's rcyursl., the City rinds the proposed use to be acceptable and chooses to approve the conditional use permit, the following items should be addressed: Planning District 6 of the Comprehensive Plan should be. amended to reflect a change in proposed land use. 2. The applicant's site conforms to the B-3 lot area and lot width requirements. i 3. Site drainage plans must be submitted for review and approval of the City Engineer. 4. The six foot high fence at the perimeter of the property is acceptable, however, the fence cannot extend beyond the front building line. The site plan shows that the fence goes beyond the building on both sides of the lot. The fence should be setback in conformance with the zoning requirements. Landscaping should replace the fence in these areas to screen adjacent residential properties. 5. Building setback. The building complies with the 0-3 setback standards. The canopy proposed over the gas pumps encroaches into the fronc yard setback within 18 feet of the property line. The Mounds View Zoning Ordinance makes no setback exception for these canopies. As such, the structure is in violation, of Lhe raquirad setback, Three options are available to correct this violation: a. Revise the site design to comp;y with the established setback standard. b. Consider a variance from the established setback. c. Consider a Zoning Ordinance amendment to specifically address gas station canopies.
