WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the following documents: 1. Applicant’s Narrative 2. Zoning Map 3. Comprehensive Plan Map 4. Aerial Photo 5. Site Photos 6. Staff Report WHEREAS, the City of Mounds View Municipal Code, Section 1125.01, describes the procedure for considering an amendment to the Zoning Map, including the Planning Commission’s consideration of the following adverse effects (Findings in italics): 1. Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan. Findings: The Mounds View Comprehensive Plan, Figure 6 (Future Land Use Map) guides these properties for Mixed Use (MU-PUD). MU- PUD is defined as “Land containing a building or buildings with significant amounts of residential uses in combination with commercial and/or office uses. Sites with this designation should be developed as planned unit developments to provide flexibility to ensure that integrated efficient and well-planned development occurs. Examples include projects that could provide for a mix of residential and commercial uses within single or multiple structures.” Resolution 1067-17 April 5, 2017 Page 3 The Planning Commission finds that the proposed Zoning Map amendment is consistent with the residential component of the Mixed Use designation. 2. The geographical area involved. Findings: The proposed Zoning Map amendment is in harmony with the adjacent southeasterly zoning district; R-4 High Density Residential. 3. Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. Findings: Any depreciation or increase in area property values is speculative. It is expected that approval of this Zoning Map amendment will be followed by a development of a multiple-family dwelling, which will improve the properties from its current vacant status, thereby improving the vibrancy of the neighborhood. 4. The character of the surrounding area. Findings: The character of the surrounding area along Mounds View Blvd (County Road 10) includes a mixture of commercial, single-family detached homes, and single-family attached townhomes. The character of the surrounding area along Groveland Road includes single-family detached homes. 5. The demonstrated need for such use. Findings: The two parcels are currently zoned B-3; and R-1. The B-3 parcel was formerly occupied by a gas station (1972 - 2001). The R-1 parcel is landlocked and undevelopable as-is. Once re-zoned, the applicant’s intent is to develop a multiple- family dwelling on the subject properties and the adjacent southeasterly two properties. The need is demonstrated by the market demand for multiple family housing, and the lack of demand for allowable commercial uses on the B-3 zoned parcel. Resolution 1067-17 April 5, 2017 Page 4 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, based upon the above findings, the information and documents regarding the proposed Zoning Map amendment, the staff report, and testimony of the applicant, and in consideration of public testimony, the Planning Commission does hereby recommend approval of the Zoning Map amendment request made by MWF Properties. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission directs staff to forward this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes.
