The Variance in this case, is being <br />requested to allow the scoreboard and press box to exceed fifteen (15) feet in height. <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />Mounds View High School currently operates under a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) that was <br />approved in 1978. Any modification to the original CUP requires that a CUP amendment be <br />processed. The original CUP has been amended from time-to-time as the school and campus <br />have expanded over the past years. In this case, the School District is requesting an amendment <br />to the existing CUP in order to replace the existing scoreboard and press box at the football <br />stadium and to construct a new storage building adjacent to the baseball field. A variance is also <br />required in this planning case in order for the scoreboard and press box to exceed fifteen (15) <br />feet in height. The site plan that depicts the proposed improvement to the athletic field can be <br />reviewed in Attachment B. <br /> <br />Mounds View High School is located in the R-1 Single Family Residential Zoning District, <br />which permits schools as a conditional use, however, any additions to the campus, or <br />amendments to the original CUP must still meet the requirements of the underlying zoning <br />district.
