RESOLUTION NO. 752-04
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A CODE AMENDMENT TO THE
ZONING CODE REGARDING TEMPORARY STRUCTURES IN
COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICTS
WHEREAS, it has come to the attention of City Staff, the Planning Commission and
City Council of a deficiency in the Zoning Code in that there is no language pertaining to
temporary tents and membrane structures in commercial and industrial zoning districts;
and,
WHEREAS, when there is no language in the zoning code relating to a certain type
of land use, that specific use is deemed to be prohibited; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission feels a code amendment should be adopted
to allow by Interim Use Permit tents or membrane structures in commercial or industrial
zoning districts as long as under certain conditions can be satisfied; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the following documents
regarding this action:
a. Photographic documentation
b. Building and Fire Codes
c. Staff Reports
d. Comparables from other cities
e. Proposed amendment language
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning
Commission recommends approval of an amendment to the Mounds View Zoning Code
substantially similar to the following language to allow tents and membrane structures by
Interim Use Permit with the following conditions:
1. The tent or membrane structure would need to comply with all provisions of the
Fire Code and receive an annual permit issued by the Fire Marshal.
2. Adequate parking to accommodate the occupancy would need to be provided at
a ratio of one parking space per 40 feet of tent area. (The City Council may
waive the parking requirement if it is shown the site has sufficient existing
parking capacity.)
3. The structure may not be located in or on a parking lot displacing parking stalls
unless it is shown an adequate amount of parking remained.
4. A Zoning Permit is required annually, the duration of which cannot exceed 180
days.

e,
5. The membrane or cover shall be constructed of a durable reinforced material to
withstand wind and snowloads.
'"
6. The structure shall be anchored to the ground.
7. The tent or membrane structure shall be maintained In a good condition.
Deficiencies shall be corrected as soon as practicable.
8. The IUP can be reviewed at any time by the City if problems arise which would
necessitate revision or termination of the IUP.
9. The IUP would become null and void if the property owner fails to comply with
the provisions of the permit or if the structure is removed for more than a one-
year period, or if the property undergoes a change of ownership.
NOW THEREFORE, 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.
