MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION NO. 463-96
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE TO ALLOW A GARAGE FOR CHURCH UPON THE
ROCK, 7901 RED OAK DRIVE, PLANNING CASE NO. 451-96
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the request of Church
Upon the Rock for a variance to allow a private garage for supply storage at 7901 Red Oak Drive;
and
WHEREAS, the Municipal Code defines a garage as a "detached accessory building or
portion of the principal building, including a carport, which is used for storing vehicles;" and
WHEREAS, Church Upon the Rock has demonstrated that it may have all the demands a
single-family dwelling has in an R-1 zoning district; and .
WHEREAS, the Municipal Code currently does not recognize that a Church in an R-1
zoned district may have the same storage needs as a single family home; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the criteria used to evaluate all
variance requests; and
WHEREAS, the inability of the Municipal Code to address Church storage needs does not
result from the actions of the applicant; and
WHEREAS, granting the variance would not confer special privileges on the applicant
that are not enjoyed by other property owners in the same district; and
WHEREAS, the impacts of a garage on the property would be no greater than a single
family home on the property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission
approves the request of Church Upon the Rock to allow a garage on the property contingent
upon the following:
1. Whenever, within one year after granting the variance the work as permitted by
this variance shall not have been completed, then this variance shall become null
and void, unless a petition for extension of time in which to complete the work has
been granted by the Board of Adjustment and Appeals.
Adopted this 10th day of July, 1996.
