MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION 725-03
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE
THEATER PUD AGREEMENT BY ADDING "OFFICE" AS AN ALLOWED USE
ON LOT 1, BLOCK 2, ANTHONY PROPERTIES ADDITION;
MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CASE PA03-001
WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council approved the Theater Planned Unit
Development (PUD) Agreement on May 11, 1998; and,
WHEREAS, the approved uses for the Theater PUD included a theater, three
office buildings, restaurants and retail uses; and,
WHEREAS, the lot located at 2442 County Highway 10, legally described as Lot 1,
Block 2; Anthony Properties Addition, was approved by the Council for a Restaurant use;
and,
WHEREAS, having been unable to develop the property with a restaurant, the
developer wishes to amend the PUD Agreement by adding "office" as an allowed use for
the site; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed this request and has
examined the potential adverse effects that could result from such an amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning
Commission makes the following finding of fact related to this request:
1. The lot in question, 2442 County Highway 10, described by the developer as
Outparcel "A," is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) and the only allowed use
for the site is a restaurant.
2. The lot in question remains vacant and as such the developer has requested an
amendment to the PUD to allow for an office building to be constructed on the site.
3. The Future Land Use Map from the City's Comprehensive Plan designates this area
as a Regional Commercial Planned Unit Development which is consistent with the
zoning of the site.
4. 2442 County Highway 10 is within the City's primary commercial corridor and as
such either a restaurant or an office building would be a fitting development.

5. The property is a corner lot, bordered to the north by County Road 10 and to the
west by Long Lake Road. To the south is a wooded wetland. The nearest
"improvement" is the 40-unit Wildwood Manor multi-family residential development
across Long Lake Road. The construction of an office building would have no
depreciatory affects upon this area.
6. The original intent of the PUD would be preserved in that the same architectural
requirements and development standards would prevail for this lot, regardless of
whether developed as a restaurant or office building.
7. The developer has indicated that the office concept would fill a niche not currently
present or available in the community.
8. The improvement of an office building on this lot would have potentially less of an
impact to the multi-family development across the street on Long Lake Road than
would a restaurant.
9. There do not appear to be any adverse effects associated with this proposed
amendment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission, based
upon the above finding of fact, does hereby recommend that the Theater Planned Unit
Development (PUD) be amended such that the use "Office" be added to those uses
expressly permitted on Lot 1, Block 2, Anthony Properties Addition.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission directs
staff to forward this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes.
Adopted this 16th day of April, 2003.
