NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council makes
the following findings of fact related to the conditional use permit request:
The proposed oversized 1,152 square foot garage satisfies the dimensional
requirements as outlined in Chapters 1104 and 1106 the 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 so as 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 building design, 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 FINALLY RESOLVED that the Mounds View City
Council approves the conditional use permit for the 1,152 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 shall be designed and maintained to provide a uniform appearance with
the existing house.
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 October, 2006.
