WHEREAS, the Mounds View Zoning Code conditionally allows garages in
excess of 952 square feet in area with a maximum accessory building area not to
exceed 1,800 square feet; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed garage would be 1,140 square feet, thus requiring City
approval of a conditional use permit; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly-noticed public hearing
regarding this request on August 7, 2013; and,

request on August 12, 2013; and,

2. The request is consistent with the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan in that
the Comprehensive Plan encourages the development and maintenance of
residential areas to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness of
housing units and residential property in general.
3. The proposed garage would not be out of place given the character and
geography of the surrounding area involved.
4. The proposed garage would not depreciate the neighborhood.
5. The applicant has sufficiently demonstrated that a need exists for the
proposed oversized garage.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View City
Council approves the conditional use permit for the 1,140 square foot garage, with
conditions as follows:
1. The garage shall not be used for commercial purposes, living space or other
uses not allowed within the R-1 Single-Family Residential district or by the
Zoning Code. Should the use change for which the permit was granted; the
conditional use permit shall be considered null and void.
2. The expanded garage area shall be designed and maintained to provide a
uniform appearance with the existing garage.
3. The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) shall become null and void if the work for
which the CUP was granted is not completed within one year from the date of
approval unless a petition for extension of time in which to complete the work has
been granted by the City Council.
Adopted this 12th day of August, 2013.
