RESOLUTION 753-04
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE
MOUNDS VIEW BUSINESS PARK EAST PUD BY ADDING "RELIGIOUS
INSTITUITION" AS AN ALLOWED USE ON LOT 1, BLOCK 1, MOUNDS VIEW
BUSINESS PARK EAST 2ND ADDITION;
MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CASE PA04-001
WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council approved the Mounds View Business
Park East Planned Unit Development (PUD) on October 24,1994; and,
WHEREAS, the lot located at 5145 Pro~ram Avenue, legally described as Lot 1,
Block 1; Mounds View Business Park East 2n Addition, was approved by the Council
for a office/industrial/flex use; and,
WHEREAS, the applicant, Bethlehem Baptist Church, wishes to amend the PUD
Agreement by adding "religious institution" 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, 5145 Program Avenue, is zoned Planned Unit Development
(PUD) and the allowed use for the site is office/flex.
2. The building in question remains vacant and as such the developer has
requested an amendment to the PUD to allow for a church to occupy the site.
3. The proposed use should not create an excessive burden on any public facilities
or utilities that serve the area.
4. The property is bordered to the north and west by industrial/business uses. To
the south and east is Program Avenue. The change of use should have no
depreciatory affects upon this area.
5. The appearance of the structure will not have an adverse effect on the PUD in
that the exterior of the building would receive only slight modification.

6. The use would not create traffic hazards or congestion because the traffic
generated will be at complementary times from the surrounding uses.
7. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been
provided.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission,
while concerned about the financial implications to the municipality, finds little, if any,
adverse land use impacts resulting from such a PUD amendment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission,
based upon the above finding of fact, does hereby recommend that the Mounds View
Business Park East Planned Unit Development (PUD) be amended such that the use
"Religious Institution" be added to those uses expressly permitted on Lot 1, Block 1,
Mounds View Business Park East 2nd 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 17th day of March, 2004.
