CITY OF LINO LAKES RESOLUTION NO. 16-76 APPROVING PUD DEVELOPMENT STAGE PLAN/PRELINIINARY PLAT FOR CLEARWATER CREEK BUSINESS PARK WHEREAS, the City has received an application for PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat for Clearwater Creek Business Park hereafter referred to as "Development"; and WHEREAS, City staff has completed a review of the "Development" based on the following: • Application and plans submitted to the City on May 16, 2016. • Revised plans received by the City on June 17, 2016. • Traffic Impact Study from Spack Consulting dated June 27, 2016 • Revised building elevations and renderings received by the City on July 1, 2016. WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the Planning & Zoning Board on June 8, 2016 and continued to July 13, 2016 and the Board recommended approval of the "Development"; and NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by The City Council of The City of Lino Lakes hereby makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT Per Section 1007.024(1) Purpose and Intent, the PUD, by allowing deviation from the strict provisions of this Ordinance related to setbacks, heights, lot area, width and depths, yards, etc., by conditional use permit or a mixture of uses by rezoning to a PUD District, is intended to encourage: 1. A development pattern in harmony with the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The industrial development on Lot 1 is consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan which anticipated development of this property for industrial uses. Clearwater Creek Business Park is consistent with the development standards in the City Code, except that PUD flexibility is requested to allow outside storage adjacent to I -35E. 2. Innovations in development that address growing demands for all styles of economic expansion, greater variety in type, design, architectural standards, and siting of structures through the conservation and more efficient use of land in such developments. The development will allow construction of a new 402,552 square foot distribution center on Lot 1 and would provide 2 outlots for future development. The development would allow this industrial development while preserving a greenway corridor (as anticipated in the AUAR) via a conservation easement adjacent to Clearwater Creek (Judicial Ditch No. 3). 3. The preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics such as existing vegetation, natural topography and geologic features and the prevention of soil erosion. 1
