City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Economic Development Authority
From: James Ericson, Community Development Director
Item Title/Subject: Discussion and Consideration of EDA Resolution 01-
EDA-152, a Resolution Authorizing the Sale of EDA-
Owned Land Located at 2625 County Highway 10 to
the Mounds View Animal Hospital
Date of Report: September 26, 2001
Background:
On May 7, 2001, the City Council provided staff with direction to accept a purchase offer
for the property located at 2625 County Highway 10. The offer was submitted by the
Mounds View Animal Hospital, who intends to construct a new freestanding facility on the
site. They have received City approvals for the development; the last step is the public
hearing for the sale of land which is required by Minnesota Statutes. The accepted offer
for the property was $50,000.
Staff had originally set a public hearing date for September 24, 2001, but due to a
publication problem, the notice was not published and as a result the public hearing was
renoticed for October 1, 2001.
Discussion:
Chapter 469 of Minnesota Statutes requires that the EDA hold a public hearing prior to
the sale of any land it owns. This public hearing satisfies the Minnesota statutory
requirements.
The purchase Agreement that the City entered with the Mounds View Animal Hospital
was contingent upon obtaining City development approvals for the site. With the
approval of the Rezoning, Code revision, Conditional Use Permit and the Development
Review, this contingency has been satisfied. The last requirement is the public hearing
to consider the sale to the proposed purchaser, Mounds View Animal Hospital.
Consistency with Comprehensive Plan: City staff and the Mounds View Planning
Commission feel that the proposed sale would be consistent with the City’s
Comprehensive Plan and the proposed development would be consistent with and
appropriate for the existing neighborhood. The property has a future land use
designation of Community Commercial, and the proposed use is consistent with that
designation. The definition of Community Commercial, as indicated in the
Comprehensive Plan, is as follows:
“Land use principally engaged in the provision of goods or services with a primary

service to the community. Community commercial uses would typically be located
in a small commercial/retail center. Examples would include community shopping
center, retail, service oriented businesses, funeral homes, banks, savings and
loans, restaurants and/or bars, veterinary clinics, and day care centers.”
Consistency with the Zoning Code: On July 9, 2001, the City Council approved
Ordinance 684 which rezoned the property B-2, Limited Business, from the Medium
Density R-3 designation. As the classification indicates, the B-2 designation is a more
restrictive business district in which lower or less intensive commercial and retail uses are
allowed. The less intensive business zoning was appropriate in this situation given the
close proximity of the single family housing. The proposed use would serve the
community and would not typically cater to the pass-through traffic present on County
Highway 10.
Consistency with Other Requirements: As indicated earlier in this report, the applicants
have secured approval of a conditional use permit (Resolution 5599, adopted August 27,
2001) and a development review (Resolution 5604, also adopted on August 27.)
Attached you will find a draft of the Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement. Staff is
working with the City Attorney to finalize the details of the agreement.
Recommendation:
Approve Resolution 01-EDA-152, a Resolution Authorizing the Sale of EDA-Owned Land
Located at 2625 County Highway 10 to the Mounds View Animal Hospital in the amount
of $50,000.
