Requested Action <br />Mounds View Public Schools ISD #621 (“The Applicant”) is requesting a site plan review for a <br />proposed renovation and addition to the Valentine Hills Elementary School located at 1770 County <br />Road E2 W. The proposed project would include a renovation and 1,000 square foot expansion of <br />the cafeteria and 9,000 square foot classroom and flex space addition. The proposed project would <br />require an amendment to the existing Conditional Use Permit for the school to operate in an R-1 <br />Single Family Residential zone. <br />Background <br />Valentine Hills Elementary School is a two-story brick building located on a 10.92 acre parcel that <br />abuts a regional parks and trails system within a residential neighborhood adjacent to Interstate I- <br />35 W. The Subject Property is bounded by single-family residential homes to the south and west <br />and by parks and recreation spaces to the north and east. The original structure was built in 1969. <br />The property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District and is guided as Public or <br />Institutional on the Land Use Plan. The use as a public elementary school was originally granted <br />under a Conditional Use Permit when the school underwent a significant expansion in 1987 <br />(Planning Case 87-03). The last major remodel to the property occurred in 2000 (Planning Case <br />00-023) for a 10,000 square foot classroom addition. As per City Code Section 1320.075 subd. 2, <br />the Subject Property meets the special requirements for a general education school within the <br />Single Family Residential (R-1) District. <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for November 6, 2019 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2019\19-010 - Valentine Hills Elementary School\Memos Reports <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: November 6, 2019 PC Agenda Item 3.A <br />TO: Planning Commission <br />FROM: Joe Hartmann – Associate Planner <br />Mike Mrosla – Community Development Manager/City Planner <br />SUBECT: Planning Case # 19-010 – Public Hearing Required <br />Applicant: Mounds View Public Schools ISD # 621 <br />Property Location: 1770 W County Rd E2 W <br />Request: Site Plan Review, Amended Conditional Use Permit
