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 The 56.45 acre site is bisected by Judicial Ditch No. 3 (Clearwater Creek), which separates the northern third of the site from the remainder. The creek will be preserved and a conservation easement will be provided to protect this greenway corridor. The buffer along the creek shown on Lot 1 ranges from 20 feet to 150 feet in width and will be provided in a conservation easement. The buffer will include all of the area between the creek, ponds and parking area. The site has a limited number of trees, but many of those are located adjacent to the creek and will be preserved. 4. A creative use of land and related physical development which allows a phased and orderly transition of varying land uses in close proximity to each other. The project will allow development of a significant distribution center and will provide two outlots for future development. The project includes an extension of 21st Avenue to provide access to Lot 1. The development is consistent with the development anticipated by the Comprehensive Plan, AUAR and Zoning Ordinance. 5. An efficient use of land resulting in smaller networks of utilities and streets thereby lowering development costs and public investments. The development will include extension of existing streets and trunk utilities, which will be designed and built by the developer. The infrastructure will be planned and built by the developer. 6. Promotion of a desirable and creative environment that might be prevented through the strict application of City zoning and subdivision regulations. The purpose of the PUD will allow construction of the distribution center on Lot 1 in a location that would not otherwise have been allowed under the standard zoning and subdivision regulations. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of The City of Lino Lakes hereby establishes that Clearwater Creek Business Park shall be developed in accordance with the following: 1. The developer is approved to create for one lot and two outlots for "Clearwater Creek Business Park", in accordance with the plans and application received by the City on May 16, 2016 and the revisions received on June 17, 2016 and July 1, 2016, except as amended by this resolution. 2.
