Public Hearing and Consideration of a SYSCO Request for a Planned Unit Development Amendment and Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Expand their Parking Lot and Driveway. Community Development Director Ericson reviewed the staff report indicating the applicant, 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. SYSCO is also requesting that the three acres of land, to be transferred from the City to SYSCO, be redesignated from Passive Open Space (OSP) to Heavy Industrial (HI) on the City’s Comprehensive Plan future land use map. The City originally approved the SYSCO Planned Unit Development in 1989 and the SYSCO’s major subdivision which created their Outlot A, which was deeded to the City for future parkland, open space, or other public use. This additional space would provide SYSCO the ability to improve efficiencies and expand their workforce by about 100 employees over the course of five years. Director Ericson stated SYSCO has applied for a Comp Plan amendment which requests a redesignation of the three-acre parcel proposed for transfer from the City to SYSCO from OSP to HI. An amendment to the PUD agreement has also been applied for which would identify and assign any maintenance issues associated with the relocated stormwater pond. Director Ericson requested the Planning Commission review and discuss the SYSCO Comp Plan and PUD amendments. Feedback from City Council supports this issue. The Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) met yesterday at the site to discuss wetlands, etc. He noted as a result of tonight’s action there would need to be a subsequent action to transfer the lot, subject to City Council review. Acting Chair Miller opened the public hearing at 7:22 p.m.
