MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Munson/Commissioner Nelson. To remove this item from
the table.
Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried.
Evan Monson, Stantec, stated the City Council directed staff to prepare amendments to the City
Code so that public hearings for zoning and subdivision requests are heard in front of the
Planning Commission instead of with the City Council. The City Attorney prepared a draft
ordinance to accomplish this, amending several individual sections of the zoning code. The
Planning Commission initially reviewed this at the May 21st Planning Commission meeting and
tabled it for further review. The Planning Commission and City Council reviewed the item at a
joint workshop held during the Council’s June 2nd work session meeting. The consensus was
that the Council shall continue to hold public hearings for manufactured home park closures,
while other requests as outlined in the initial draft ordinance would have a public hearing at the
Planning Commission meetings. Staff commented further on the request and recommended the
Planning Commission recommend approval of the Ordinance amending the Zoning Code related
to the Public Hearing Process.
MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Nelson/Commissioner Munson. To recommend the City
Council approve an Ordinance amending the Zoning Code relating to the Public Hearing Process
in Mounds View City Code.
Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried.
