Vote: 7 Ayes and 0 Nays. Section 2. FINDINGS 2.01 Approval is subject to the following findings: I. Higher density would seem reasonable in the MXC area given the proximity to arterial roadways, including Eden and Vernon and Highway 100 in the Grandview area. 2. Senior Housing would generate less traffic than a similar size retail or industrial use. 3. Density proposed is similar or less than density for mixed use areas for surrounding communities including Minnetonka, Minneapolis, Bloomington, Richfield, and St. Louis Park.
