Planning Commission Staff Report <br />5/21/2025 – Public Hearing Process in Mounds View Code <br />Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />Conditional Use Permits. <br />Section 160.450 requires the City Council to hold public hearings on conditional use <br />permits (CUP). This would be changed to the Planning Commission. <br />CRP District development plans. <br />The CRP District (Conservancy, Recreation, and Preservation) permits recreational uses <br />on land that is otherwise difficult to develop for other more typical uses. Section 160.251 <br />says that sch plans for development will be forwarded to both the Planning Commission <br />and the Parks and Recreation Commission, and that the City Council “may require public <br />hearings” before action is taken. The ordinance does not specify where a hearing is to <br />take place. This would be changed to the Planning Commission. <br />Interim Use Permits. <br />Section 160.057 Interim Uses references State statute on interim uses, but does not <br />specify a process or public hearing requirement. It is assumed that the review of interim <br />use permits will follow the process for conditional use permits, but this needs to be <br />clarified. The suggested amendment to Section 160.450 would accomplish this. <br />Amendments to the Zoning Code. <br />Section 160.450 (same as above) also requires the City Council to hold public hearings <br />on amendments to the Zoning Code. This would be changed to the Planning <br />Commission. <br />RECOMMENDED CODE AMENDMENTS <br />The attached ordinance prepared by the City Attorney details the code amendments needed to <br />accomplish the above items. <br />Staff requests the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council adoption of the <br />ordinance by resolution. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />______________________ <br />Phil Carlson, AICP <br />City Planner <br /> <br />
