NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning
Commission makes the following findings of fact related to the conditional use permit
request:
1. The proposed oversized 1,176 square foot garage satisfies the zoning
requirements as outlined in Chapters 1104 and 1106 the Zoning Code.
2. The request is consistent with the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan in that
the Comprehensive Plan encourages the development and maintenance of
residential areas to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness of
housing units and residential property in general.
3. The proposed garage would not be out of place given the character and
geography of the surrounding area involved.
4. The proposed garage would not depreciate the neighborhood.
5. The applicant has sufficiently demonstrated that a need exists for the
proposed oversized garage.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View
Planning Commission recommends approval of the conditional use permit for the 1,176
square foot garage, with conditions as follows:
1. The garage shall not be used for commercial purposes, living space or other
uses not allowed within the R-1 Single-Family Residential district or by the
Zoning Code. Should the use change for which the permit was granted; the
conditional use permit shall be considered null and void.
2. The new garage shall be designed and maintained to provide a uniform
appearance with the existing house.
3. The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) shall become null and void if the work for
which the CUP was granted is not completed within one year from the date of
approval unless a petition for extension of time in which to complete the work has
been granted by the City Council.
