Mounds View Planning Commission June 21, 2006 Regular Meeting Page 9 ________________________________________________________________________ Chair Stevenson opened the public hearing at 8:02 p.m. Planning Associate Heller presented the proposal for an amendment for the 2442 County Road 10 Planned Unit Development. This 26-acre PUD bounded by County Highway 10, County Highway H2 and Long Lake Road allows for a movie theater, parking, office buildings and a retail building. Mr. Brickley is requesting an amendment to the PUD to permit an accessory building at 2442 County Road 10, the triangular parcel identified as Parcel A in the PUD document. According to the PUD document, accessory buildings, with the exception of trash enclosures, are not permitted within the PUD. The City originally approved the O’Neil property PUD in May 1998. The original land use designated for 2442 County Highway 10 (Parcel A) was for a restaurant. In May of 2003, the City Council approved a PUD amendment to allow an office building to be constructed on the subject parcel, which was then constructed in 2004. With the requested amendment, LandCor would construct an attached garage on the southwest side of the building. They would need to relocate the garbage enclosure that is currently on the site slightly to the east and in turn would lose two parking spaces. When this building was constructed, it was determined that 60 parking spaces were required based on the building square footage; 64 spaces were provided. Even with losing two or three spaces, LandCor would still exceed the required number of parking stalls. Ms. Heller stated an amendment to a Planned Unit Development is processed the same as a Conditional Use Permit. The procedural requirements of Section 1125 of the Zoning Code would be followed. Section 1125 requires that the Planning Commission and the City Council review the request, taking into consideration any and all potential adverse effects of the proposed amendment. Relative to the Comprehensive Plan, the O’Neil property PUD site is identified as a Regional Commercial PUD. The proposed accessory building as an addition to the existing office building would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The parcel is a triangle shaped lot bordered by County Road 10 and Long Lake Road on two sides and a wooded wetland area to the south that separates the movie theater and the Subway mall from this building. Rice Creek Watershed District approved the initial development and storm water ponds were constructed to handle full-site build out, which includes the subject parcel. Adding a garage to the office building would not impact the neighborhood. At this time, the plan is that only one business would lease the entire building, keeping traffic to a minimum. The proposed attached garage would not be out of place, as the design would blend in with the current structure. There are a variety of buildings in the area, for example the movie theater, a senior housing building and a retail building.
