ORDINANCE NO. 533
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM ON NEW
OR USED CAR LOTS AND MOTOR VEHICLE SALES
BUSINESSES WITHIN THE CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
The Council of the City of Mounds View ,does hereby ordain:
SECTION I. PURPOSE At the direction of the City Council, the
Mounds View Planning Commission is in the process of reviewing the
requirements for establishment of new or used car lots and motor
vehicle sales businesses within the city. The Planning Commission
has reviewed Chapters 40, 59 and 109 of the City Code and has
determined that there is a need for further review and possible
amendment of the existing regulations pertaining to the operation
of such businesses within the city. The Planning commission
recognizes that groups that have been formed as a part of the FOCUS
2000 project are studying issues that might affect the regulation
of such businesses. The findings of these study groups might
provide direction for both the Planning commission and the City
council on issues of land use wi thin the city. The Planning
commission wishes to incorporate those findings in their review of
this subject. The Planning commission is therefore recommending
that a moratorium be placed on the creation of any additional new
or used car lots and motor vehicle sales businesses wi thin the
city. Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.355, subdivision 4, permits
the adoption of an interim ordinance for a period not to exceed one
year, which may be extended if the City council deems it
appropriate, for a total additional period of 18 months.
SECTION II. MORATORIUM A moratorium on the development of new
or used car lots and motor vehicle sales businesses is established.
No license, conditional use permit or building permit may be issued
for such uses during the moratorium period no~ may any rezoning,
platting or replatting of land be granted by the City for such uses
during the moratorium period. This moratorium does not affect the
continuance or expansion of currently licensed new or used car lots
or motor vehicle sales businesses within the city.
SECTION III. EXPIRATION The moratorium shall expire on February
10, 1995 or such earlier date as may be further adopted by
resolution of the city Council. The moratorium may be extended for
a reasonable period of time that may be necessary to complete the
study and adoption of any necessary amendments to the City Code,
provided that any such extension shall not exceed an additional 18-
month period.
