WHEREAS, the Mounds View Zoning Code conditionally allows garages in excess
of 952 square feet with a maximum accessory building area not to exceed 1,800 square
feet; and,

1. The proposed 1,239 square foot garage satisfies the zoning requirements as
outlined in Chapters 1104 and 1106 of the Mounds View Zoning Code.
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 1,239 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 garage addition shall be designed and maintained to provide a uniform
appearance with the existing house and 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 9th day of November, 2015.
