RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A GROUND SIGN
WITH A DYNAMIC DISPLAY, 8211 RED OAK DRIVE (Planning Case CU2022-001)
WHEREAS, the applicant, Katie Brouillard (Abiding Savior Lutheran Church), is requesting a
Conditional Use Permit for a Ground Sign with a Dynamic Display, located at 8211 Red Oak Drive, legally
described as:
PID:06-30-23-13-0078
Lot 1, Block 1, Anna Place
WHEREAS, the property is zoned R-1 Single -Family Residential, and is established as Abiding
Savior Lutheran Church. Mounds View City Code §160.088(G) (Conditional Uses), and §161.038(H)(3)(b)
(Dynamic Display Signs) conditionally permits on -site dynamic display signs to be located on the sites of
schools, churches, places of worship or other institutional land uses; and,
WHEREAS, Mounds View City Code §161.039(A)(2) limits such ground sign(s) in Residential
districts to a maximum combined sign area of 100 sq ft. A Zoning Permit for a sign was approved in
2000 for a 32 sq ft ground sign (Permit # 0000394). This sign, along with a previously permitted sign,
total 111.6 sq ft in area. Staff has concluded that these signs are legal non -conforming. Minnesota
Statute §462.357, Subd 1e, permits non -conforming uses to be continued, repaired, replaced, but not to
be expanded. The proposed replacement sign, and remaining sign will total 110 sq ft in sign area, and is
not an expansion; and,
WHEREAS, Mounds View City Code 160.452(B) includes criteria for granting a Conditional Use
Permit (Findings in 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 use (dynamic display) will not create a burden on public facilities.
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 use shall comply with City Code requirements for maximum brightness and
glare, and have no demonstrated impact on property values.
