Among other conditions, outside storage abutting a residential district must be screened; and, WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Code, Section 1103.08, Subd 6, related to required screening, requires a green belt planting strip at least 8' in height, or a solid fence not less than 6' in height. The subject property includes a 6' solid wooden fence along the western property line adjacent to residential properties, and a chain link fence along the southern property line adjacent to a storm water infiltration basin. The applicant proposes to enclose unfenced areas with an 8' solid wooden fence; and, WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Code, Section 1125.01, Subd 3(b) includes the Criteria for Granting Conditional Use Permits, stating; In granting a conditional use permit, the City Council shall consider the advice and recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the effect of the proposed use on the Comprehensive Plan and upon the health, safety and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands. Among other things, the City Council shall make the following findings where applicable (Findings in Bold italics): 1. The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area. Finding: The Open and Outdoor Storage will have no impact to public facilities. 2. The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and there will be no deterrence to development of vacant land. Finding: The Open and Outdoor Storage will be adequately screened by an 8' solid wooden fence, except along the southern property line, which is adjacent to a wooded storm water infiltration brain. F he .N ioun(4" �l 7 1wivin, 1),_n<<rr;in Item 08A Page 5 of 9 The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties. Finding: The Open and Outdoor Storage area is currently screened from adjacent residential properties by a 6' solid wooden fence. Screening will be improved by a new 8' solid wooden fence. 4. The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the City and to the existing land use. Finding: The building was built in 1965, primarily for use as a warehouse (PAK Company). The property has been underutilized as a warehouse without retail, for many years (Tires N'More). The proposed primary use for retail sales/service of construction materials with warehousing, and an accessory use of open and outdoor storage (Caliber Companies), is appropriate for this location, considering the existing building. The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use. Finding: The proposed use (open and outdoor storage) is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code. 6. The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. Finding: The property is guided Mixed Use MU-PUD in the Comprehensive Plan (2010). Open and Outdoor Storage is not specifically addressed in the Comprehensive Plan, but relates to the following.• General Land Use Goal 1: Maintain a cohesive land use pattern that ensures compatibility and functional relationships between activities and uses. Policy h. Transitions between distinctly differing types of land uses should not create a negative economic, social, or physical impact on adjoining developments. Policy k. Require and maintain buffering and visual separation between differing land uses, when possible. Policy L Strive for compatibility of adjacent land uses. Commercial Goal 2: Provide safe, convenient, attractive, and accessible commercial development. Policy d. Ensure that all service, institutional and commercial uses are adequately screened and buffered from any existing or planned residential developments. Policy e. The City will require buffers such as screen plantings, fences, and public and semi-public use areas to help eliminate conflicts and disruptions between commercial land uses and activities and adjacent or nearby residential development. The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion. Finding: The proposed use (open and outdoor storage) will not significantly contribute to traffic hazards or congestion. The property includes two easements; (1) Item 08A Page 6 of 9 accessing Groveland Road, and (2) accessing Mounds View Boulevard; both crossing thru 2840 Mounds View Boulevard (Simons property). Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be provided. Finding: Such facilities are adequate. WHEREAS, On October 7, 2020, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit (Resolution 1122-20); and, WHEREAS, a Public Hearing notice was published in the Shoreview Press on September 29, 2020, and mailed to property owners within 350' of the subject property. The City Council held a Public Hearing on October 12, 2020; and, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View City Council based upon the above Findings, the Staff Report, and in consideration of public testimony, hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for Open and Outdoor Storage as an Accessory Use with the following conditions: The applicant shall install an 8' tall solid wooden fence around the west, north, and east portions of the outside storage area.
