Resolution 14-17 February 18, 2014
Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION APPROVING FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS
CONCERNING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR
345 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE SOUTH, FUNDUS PRAEDIUM, LLC, APPLICANT
WHEREAS, at its regular meeting on February 5, 2014 the City Council heard and
considered a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of a Youth
Transition Program (LifeSpan) to be located at 345 Pennsylvania Avenue South in the
I-394 Mixed Use Zoning District; and
WHEREAS, at the meeting of the City Council, the Council verbally expressed its
rationale for denying the Conditional Use Permit and memorializes its rationale in this
resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Golden
Valley that its rationale for denying the Conditional Use Permit to operate a Youth
Transition Program (LifeSpan) at 345 Pennsylvania Avenue South is as follows:
1. The close proximity of the proposed use to single family residences would likely have
deleterious impacts on them.
2. Perceptions surrounding the proposed use would lead to negative impacts on the
property values of the surrounding residential properties.
3. The number of daily trips of buses and vans to and from the property for the proposed
use would result in an increase in noise levels in the neighborhood.
4. Based on evidence from facilities in other locations, the proposed use is likely to
generate a number of police calls, placing an added burden on the City's resources.
5. The Applicant under-represented the intensity of the proposed use.
6. The proposed use would potentially threaten the health, safety, and welfare of the City
and its residents.
