July 1, 2009
Page 2
Planning Associate Heller indicated that city staff has been working on the 2008 Comprehensive
Plan update which was due to the Metropolitan Council at the end of 2008. However, due to
delays beyond the control of city staff, the Metropolitan Council has granted Mounds View an
extension to submit the update by May 1, 2009. She indicated staff submitted the proposed plan
update to the Metropolitan Council on April 30, 2009 and after their initial review, the Met
Council determined the plan update was incomplete.
Planning Associate Heller indicated staff has made the revisions and felt the changes were
substantial enough for the Planning Commission to review and approve with a resolution.
Chair Stevenson questioned some of the data on the Land Use Table in 5 -Years stages.
Planning Associate Heller stated these figures are minimums of the Metropolitan Council and
staff changed this data to comply with Metropolitan Council.
Commissioner Miller questioned the residential and commercial Mixed Use -PUD and asked if
this redevelopment would be a Planned Unit Development (PUD).
Planning Associate Heller stated it would probably be zoned PUD since Mounds View does not
have a zoning district for mixed uses. She added with the submission of these changes the final
approval of the Comprehensive Plan should come approximately in the fall or later.
MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Cramblit/Commissioner Miller. To approve Resolution
904-09; Approval of Revisions and Additions to the 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update; Special
Planning Case No. SP -154-07.
Ayes — 5 Nays — 0 Motion carried.
B. Code Amendments
Planning Associate Heller stated there are two code amendments in front of the Planning
Commission. These amendments were initially discussed at the May 20, 2009 meeting. The
first amendment is for Section 1103.18 Satellite Dishes, and it was the intent of the Planning
Commission not to regulate these too much, but added that they shouldn't be located in the right-

of -way. Staff had further discussion and suggested also not locating them in public easements
and wetlands.
MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Miller/Commissioner Lang. To approve Resolution 905-
09; Approval of an Amendment to Chapter 1103 of the Mounds View Zoning Code to address 36
Inch or less diameter Satellite Dish Antennas.
Ayes — 5 Nays — 0 Motion carried.
Planning Associate Heller stated the second amendment is for Chapter 1106. This amendment
addresses daycare centers being allowed in churches in R-1 Districts as a conditional use, and
staff also included schools, public, semi-public type buildings. She added the language in
Subdivision 8 is the requirements for a daycare center in other residential districts. She stated for
a daycare center to exist in a building of this nature, the applicant would need to go before the
Planning Commission and City Council to obtain a Conditional Use Permit.
Commissioner Miller questioned the number of children that could be in the daycare facility.
Planning Associate Heller stated this would be regulated during the licensing process from
Ramsey County.
MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Lang/Commissioner Cramblit. Resolution 906-09;
Approval of an Amendment to Chapter 1106 of the Mounds View Zoning Code to Allow
Daycare Centers as a Conditional Use in R-1 Districts in Public or Semi -Public Recreational

Limited to Elementary, Junior High and Senior High Schools and Religious Institutions, such as
Churches, Temples and Synagogues.
