NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View City Council makes the
following findings of fact regarding the Conditional Use Permit request as required by the
Mounds View Zoning Code:
1. The request for a conditional use permit to allow a car wash at The Station, which is
zoned B-2, should not negatively impact or depreciate the adjacent properties due to
the primary use of the property not changing.
2. The property currently has 29 parking spaces, well above the required 18 spaces.
The site plan shows that the property owner could add more parking spaces if
necessary.
3. The applicant has demonstrated a need for the conditional use permit, in order to
expand his business and better compete with other nearby fuel stations that have
car washes.
4. There does not appear to be any adverse effects associated with the proposed
conditional use permit and development review for a car wash.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mounds View City
Council approves the development review for the addition of a car wash at The Station,
2280 County Road I, subject to the following conditions:
1. The City Council approving the proposed code amendment to allow car washes in a
B-2 zoning district (Chapter 1113 of the city code).

retail building on the property.
