Such a facility would help meet the housing needs of a particular segment of the community. The property is located between commercial sites to the north and a high density residential development and park to the south. The proposed use would act as a buffer between the existing land uses. The proposed style and architectural design of the proposed facility would blend into and add character to this area. WHEREAS, The Mounds View Planning Commission makes the following findings that the general criteria for CUP approval in Subdivision 1125.01 (2) have been met: (1) The use will not crcate an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area.

(2) The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and therc will be no deterrencc to development of vacant land. This development, while not ahutting any residential property, would be sufficiently compatihle with the existing land uses and would not cause any foreseeable depreciation in neighboring property values. (3) The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties. The architectural renderings presented to the Planning Commission and puhlic show a well designed and aesthetically pleasing building. (4) Thc use, in the opinion ofthc City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the City and to the existing land use. The demand for assisted living facilities such as the one proposed is growing to accommodate an aging population. . . . Planning Commission Resolution No. 584-99 August 18, 1999 Page 3 (5) The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use.

(6) The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
