Item No: 5B Meeting Date: August 3, 2005 Type of Business: Public Hearing City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mounds View Planning Commission From: James Ericson, Community Development Director Item Title/Subject: Discussion and Review of a Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment and PUD Amendment to Accommodate an Expansion of SYSCO Minnesota; Planning Cases PA2005-002 and CP2005-001 Introduction: SYSCO Minnesota, represented by Phil Seipp, President, is requesting approval of an amendment to expand the SYSCO PUD site by approximately three acres to accommodate an additional 100 vehicle parking stalls, 50 truck parking stalls and a widened, relocated access road to the east of the building. In addition, SYSCO is requesting that the three acres of land, to be transferred from the City to SYSCO, be redesignated from OSP (Passive Open Space) to HI (Heavy Industrial.) Discussion: The City originally approved the SYSCO Planned Unit Development in 1989 and at the same time approved SYSCO’s major subdivision which created their lot and Outlot A, which was then deeded to the City for future parkland, open space or other public use. The Outlot comprises almost 46 acres and since the original land transfer, most of the land has been left natural. A small triangle of land adjacent at its southeast corner is utilized by the Bridges Golf Course. As indicated in the attached project narrative, approximately three acres of land would be transferred back to SYSCO to accommodate the proposed expansions. The additional space would provide SYSCO, which is essentially built-out to the maximum potential on its existing lot, the ability to improve efficiencies and expand their workforce by about 100 employees over the course of five years. In addition to the PUD Amendment and Comp Plan Amendment, there would need to be a major subdivision undertaken to create the lot to be deeded back to SYSCO. The proposal would involve the relocation of the SYSCO stormwater management pond which would necessitate a Mounds View Wetland Alteration Permit as well as a permit from the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). All costs associated with the SYSCO request would be paid by SYSCO. Finally, the zoning of the three-acre parcel to be created, currently “Industrial,” would be amended to be consistent with the SYSCO designation of “PUD”.
