City Council Staff Report 11/10/2025—Future Land Use Amendment and Rezoning 2416 Hillview Road Page 6 guiding the applicant's site as Multifamily Residential. In addition, the site is in close proximity to other parcels that are guided Multifamily Residential as well. The proposed rezoning of the subject parcel to R-4 (Multiple-Family Residential District) is consistent with the City of Mounds View's zoning code and supports the recently proposed amendment to the Future Land Use Map. • The R-4 district permits multi-family residential uses by right, including townhome developments, and is intended to accommodate higher-density housing types. In R-4, High Density Residential District, townhouses up to eight units are permitted (R-4, High Density Residential District). • The site shall meet the minimum lot size and dimensional requirements for the R-4 district, including setbacks and yard regulations. • The site meets the minimum lot area per dwelling unit requirement. Additionally, the R-4 zoning designation is compatible with adjacent zoning districts and land uses, particularly given the presence of Mixed-Use designations to the south and west, which further reinforces the appropriateness of introducing medium-density residential development at this location. The rezoning aligns with the City's goals for housing diversity, land use efficiency, and neighborhood integration, and is consistent with the comprehensive plan amendment discussed in the previous section. Overall, the proposed rezoning is compatible with surrounding zoning and land uses, and supports the City's goals for housing diversity, land use efficiency, and neighborhood integration. Rezoning Criteria The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed amendment or conditional use. Its judgment shall be based upon (but not limited to)the following factors according to Section 160.450: (1) Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan; Based on the Mounds View 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the proposed rezoning from R-1 to R-4 is consistent with several key goals and policies, including: 1. Promote Housing Diversity — Encourage a variety of housing types to meet the needs of residents at different life stages and income levels. 2. Support Land Use Efficiency—Guide development that makes efficient use of land and existing infrastructure. 3. Encourage Compatible Land Use Transitions—Ensure new development is compatible with surrounding uses and supports neighborhood character. The Mounds View Vision A Thriving Desirable Community
