FOR 2310 MOUNDS VIEW BOULEVARD, FROM R-1 SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL TO PUD PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
(PLANNING CASE MU2022-003)
WHEREAS, Reuter Walton, (the "Applicant") submitted three applications dated (October
10, 2022) for the property identified as PID: 08-30-23-31-0075, and that is located at 2310 Mounds
View Boulevard (the "Property") as the Applicant seeks to construct a 140-unit apartment building to
be located at the Property; and
WHEREAS, the first application requests a rezoning of the Property through a Zoning Map
Amendment to rezone the Property from R-1 Single Family Residential to PUD Planned Unit
Development; and
WHEREAS, the second application requests approval of a preliminary plat regarding the
Property; and
WHEREAS, the third application requests approval of a planned unit development ("PUD")
and Development Review of the Property; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant extended the City's timeline to consider the application under
Minn. Stat. § 15.99 until February 10, 2023; and
WHEREAS, on November 2, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the
applications and recommended approval; and
WHEREAS, the City Council held public hearings on the applications, after providing
the appropriate notice, on November 28,2022, and which were continued until December 12,
2022 to allow time for the Developer to clarify and complete a traffic study, parking study,
address exterior lighting, tree preservation, and a needs analysis; and
WHEREAS, at the December 12, 2022 meeting of the City Council, a motion was made
to approve the Zoning Map Amendment, but said motion failed to move forward due to the lack
of a second; and
WHEREAS, the City Council subsequently approved a motion to deny the rezoning
application and directed staff to draft a written statement of the reasons for the denial in
accordance with Minn. Stat. 15.99, subdivision 2 (c); and

WHEREAS, the City Council also moved to table the action on the Preliminary Plat and
PUD and Development Review until the written statement for denial of the Zoning Map
Amendment could be considered by the City Council at its regular meeting scheduled on
December 27, 2022; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds and determines as follows with respect to the
denial of the Applicant's requests:
a. The Property is currently zoned R-1 Residential.
b. The rezoning of land is a policy decision the City Council must make upon considering a
number of factors, including, but not necessarily limited to, the zoning of surrounding
land, the types of uses that will be allowed on the land if it is rezoned, the impacts of
those uses in the area given the surrounding uses and the ability of the public
infrastructure and services to accommodate those uses;
c. The proposed use of the Property is rezoned as requested would conflict with the
residential uses in the area, including those residential uses that are directly to the east
and west of the Property and in other locations nearby;
d. The proposal requires too many deviations from the standards for planned unit
developments that are established in the City Code, including the following:
i. Increased density;
ii. Reduction in usable open space;
iii. Elimination of trees on the project site;
iv. Reduction in available parking from the established standard;
V. Reductions in setbacks; and
vi. Deviation from external building materials standards;
e. Rezoning of the Property from R-1 Single Family Residential to PUD Planned Unit
Development is not, for the reasons stated herein, in the best interests of the City or the
public health, safety, and welfare;
f. Having determined that rezoning the Property, as requested, is not appropriate, the
request to approve a preliminary plat for the Property to accommodate the 140-unit
apartment building, must also be denied; and
g. Having determined that rezoning the Property, as requested, is not appropriate, the PUD
and Developmental Review must also be denied.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the city council of the City of Mounds
View, as follows:
1. The above set -forth preamble and recitals are incorporated into and made a part of
this Resolution and constitute the finds of the City Council concerning this matter.

2. The Applicant's Zoning Code Amendment request is denied due to the reasons stated
in this Resolution.

Amendment was not approved.

writing in accordance with Minn. Stat. § 15.99, and directs the city administrator to provide this
resolution to the Applicant immediately, prior to expiration of the extended review period.
