A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MONTICELLO APPROVING
A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR BUILDING HEIGHT OF UP TO 45 FEET IN
THE I-1, LIGHT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT
WHEREAS, the applicant operates an existing manufacturing facility at 9530 Fallon
Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the applicant proposes to construct an accessory storage building with a height
that extends beyond the required maximum 30 foot standards for the district; and
WHEREAS, the subject property has a base zoning of I-1, Light Industrial District, in which
manufacturing and related uses are allowed as permitted uses; and
WHEREAS, the zoning ordinance allows such use, but current zoning restrictions require
special approval consideration due to the proposed height and location of the accessory
storage building; and
WHEREAS, the location of the storage building is well screened, and will have negligible, if
any, impact on surrounding land uses or public services in the area; and
WHEREAS, the storage building will otherwise be consistent with the improvements
currently on the property; and
WHEREAS, the proposed land use is a reasonable use of the subject property, consistent
with the land uses in the area; and
WHEREAS, the proposed expansion is a reasonable location on the property, within other
zoning regulations, and would raise other zoning and site development issues if located in
other portions of the property; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the matter at its
regular meeting on May 5th, 2020 and the applicant and members of the public were provided
the opportunity to present information to the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has considered all of the comments and the staff
report, which are incorporated by reference into the resolution; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Monticello makes the following
Findings of Fact in relation to the recommendation of approval:
1. The proposed expansion is consistent with the intent of the Monticello
Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed use is reasonable, given the conditions in the area, and on the subject
property.
3. The proposed accessory building will otherwise meet the requirements of the
Monticello Zoning Ordinance for consideration of the proposed building height.
4. The proposed expansion will not create undue burdens on public systems, including
streets and utilities.
5. The proposed use will not create substantial impacts on neighboring land uses that are
not within the expectations of the current zoning allowances.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Planning Commission of the City of
Monticello, Minnesota recommends to the City Council that the proposed Conditional Use
Permit be approved, subject to the conditions of Exhibit Z of the staff report, as follows:
