CONDITONAL USE PERMIT FOR THE PROPERTY
AT 2375 MOUNDS VIEW BOULEVARD
TO ALLOW AUTO BODY WORK AND AUTO PAINTING;
MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CASE CM2024-0001
WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council approved a conditional use permit (CUP) for the
property at 2375 Mounds View Boulevard in 1992 and amended it in 1994, 1996, and 2010 for an
automobile dealership and repair business; and,
WHEREAS, the parcel at 2375 Mounds View Boulevard is legally described as:
Section 8, T30 R23 part of SW'/4 NELY of Hwy (subject to rds) in Section 8 T30 R23
PID 083023310076; and,
WHEREAS, the applicant and property owner wish to amend the CUP to allow auto body work
and auto painting on site; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed this request and has
examined the potential adverse effects that could result from such an amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission makes the
following finding of fact related to this request:
Findings of Fact for Approval
1) Herod Real Estate LLC owns the property at 2375 Mounds View Boulevard. The site has been
used for sale of new and used vehicles and vehicle repair for many years.
2) The property and business operate under a conditional use permit first approved in 1992 and
amended in 1994, 1996, and 2010. One of the current conditions stipulates that "[V]ehicle repair,
servicing and maintenance are permitted on this site, excluding body work and painting."
3) The owner has requested an amendment to the conditional use permit to remove the above
condition so that auto body work and auto painting are allowed on site.
4) Allowing auto body work and auto painting in conjunction with auto sales and service is reasonable
if there are safeguards to insure that noise and odors from those activities are kept to reasonable
levels meeting State and local standards, and if visibly damaged vehicles are kept within a building
or screened from surrounding properties and public streets.
5) The requested amendment meets the standards for approval of a conditional use permit in Section
168.450(E) of the Mounds View Zoning Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission,
based upon the above findings of fact, does hereby recommend that the City Council approve an
amendment to the conditional use permit at 2375 Mounds View Boulevard with the following conditions:
Conditions for Approval
1) All previously approved conditions in the Conditional Use Permit for 2375 Mounds View Boulevard
remain in effect unless specifically modified by this approved amendment.
2) The previous condition involving auto body work and auto painting is removed; auto body work and
auto painting are allowed as conditioned here.
3) All repair, body work, and painting will be done within the enclosed building with the doors closed.
4) Noise and odors will be kept to the minimum possible and in keeping State and local standards.
Painting will be done in accordance with applicable State and local standards to prevent odors and
overspray from leaving the building.
5) All hazardous and flammable materials will be handled in strict accordance with State and local
standards.
6) Visibly damaged vehicles will be kept within the enclosed building or screened completely from
surrounding properties and public streets.
7) All standards for auto repair uses and motor vehicle and recreation equipment sales uses in Section
160.198 of the Mounds View Zoning Code will be followed.
Adopted this 17th day of April, 2024.
