MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION 799-05
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE
WALGREENS PUD AGREEMENT BY ADDING "OFFICE" AS AN ALLOWED USE
ON LOT 2, BLOCK 2, MOUNDS VIEW CITY HALL ADDITION (Parcel 2);
MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CASE PA2005-001
WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council approved the Walgreens Planned Unit
Development (PUD) Agreement on August 14, 2000; and,
WHEREAS, the approved uses for the Walgreens PUD included a Drug Store, a
Restaurant and passive open space and recreation uses; and,
WHEREAS, the lot located at 2395 County Road 10, legally described as Lot 2,
Block 2; Mounds View City Hall Addition, was approved by the Council for a Restaurant
use; and,
WHEREAS, having been unable to develop the property with a restaurant, a
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, 2395 County Road 10, described by the PUD Agreement as
Parcel "2," is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) and the only allowed use for
the site is a restaurant.
2. Parcel 2 remains vacant and as such a 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 Community Commercial Planned Unit Development which is consistent with
the zoning of the site.
4. The property at 2395 County Road 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 an irregularly shaped lot, bordered to the north by the Community
Center, to the west by Edgewood Drive and City Hall, to the south Walgreens, and
to the east a wooded wetland. The construction of an office building would have no
depreciatory affects upon the surrounding area.
6. The original intent of the PUD will 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 construction of an office building on this lot would have potentially less of an
impact to the Edgewood drive / County Road 10 intersection than would a
restaurant.
8. 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 findings of fact, does hereby recommend that the Walgreens Planned Unit
Development (PUD) be amended such that the use "Office" be added to those uses
expressly permitted on Lot 2, Block 2, Mounds View City Hall Addition, with the following
condition:
1. The City shall have received the development review application associated with
this property within 90 days of this approval or the PUD Amendment shall be
considered Null and Void.
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 6th day of July, 2005.
