A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MONTICELLO RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
FOR CROSS ACCESS AND SHARED PARKING FOR LOTS IN

WHEREAS, Buchholz Construction has requested platting of a commercial property, with a
Conditional Use Permit to allow cross access between Deephaven (a residential project),
Deephaven Second Addition (a commercial project), and Deephaven Third Addition (4
commercial lots), and cross parking between the commercial parcels; and
WHEREAS, the site has adequate areas for parking to accommodate both existing and
anticipated parking demand; and
WHEREAS, the cross access between the subject property is required to facilitate internal
vehicle circulation for businesses in the area without traffic demand on the public streets; and
WHEREAS, the cross parking facilitates joint and shared parking uses between the commercial
portions of the development area; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the application for Condition Use Permit
pursuant to the regulations of the Monticello Zoning Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on January 4, 2022 on the
application 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 the following Findings of Fact in relation
to the recommendation of approval:
1. The proposed uses are consistent with the intent and purpose of the B-4, Regional
Business District, as well as the PUD District affecting the residential areas in the project.
2. The proposed uses are consistent with the existing and future land uses in the area in
which they are located.
3. The impacts of the improvements are those anticipated by the existing and future land
uses and are addressed through standard review and ordinances as adopted.
4. The proposed shared access meets the intent and requirements of the applicable zoning
regulations, pursuant to the conditions attached to the Conditional Use Permit.
5. The proposed cross access is not anticipated to negatively impact surrounding
commercial properties, and instead may encourage future commercial development in the
lots of Deephaven 3rd Addition.
6. Approval of the CUP for cross access will not result in the need for additional road or
utility infrastructure and should not otherwise negatively impact the health or safety of
the community.
7. Parking will be adequate based on the available and future off-street parking on the
property, and enhanced by the shared parking allowances.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Planning Commission of the City of
