WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding this request
on Wednesday, May 4,2005; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed Chapter 1120
of the Mounds View Municipal Code pertaining to planned unit developments; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the land use
component of the Comprehensive Plan relative to this request; and,
WHEREAS, The Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the site plans
date-stamped April 13, 2005, relative to this request.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission
makes the following findings regarding the possible adverse effects of this general concept
plan, as required by the Mounds View Zoning Code:
1. The current zoning of the lots is R-1, Single Family Residential and B-3, Highway
Business. The requested zoning of the lots is PUD, Planned Unit Development.
2. According to the Comprehensive Plan, the parcels proposed to be included in the
residential PUD are designated Mixed-Use PUD on the Future Land Use map.
3. The plan as proposed would adversely affect adjacent property owners by
compromising privacy and substantially increased densities.
4. The proposed density, while not inconsistent with the Code requirements for a 3-
acre parcel, is too intense for the surrounding area and does not fit the character of
the existing neighborhood.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, based upon the above
findings, the information and documents regarding the general concept plan for the PUD,
the report drafted by staff and the testimony of the applicant, and in consideration of the
public testimony given at the public hearing, the Planning Commission does hereby
recommend denial of the general concept plan approval request made by Integra Homes.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Planning Commission directs staff to forward
this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes.
Adopted this 6th day of July, 2005. ~
