MEMORANDUM <br />To:St. Anthony Village Planning Commission <br />From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner <br />Date:Planning Commission Meeting – August 20, 2024 <br />GC Project No.140.01 – 24.05 <br />Request:Request for an amendment to a Planned Unit Development in a PUD, <br />Planned Unit Development District <br />Property Address:2401 Lowry Avenue NE <br />Property PID:07-029-23-23-0002 <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND <br />The Applicants are seeking an amendment to an approved Planned Unit Development to <br />modify the land use and site plan approvals that were granted under the original PUD project. <br />The site is the former Bremer Bank facility at the NE corner of Kenzie Terrace and Stinson <br />Parkway, with an address of 2401 Lowry. The parcel is just under 2 acres in size. <br />The Planning Commission originally held a public hearing to consider the application on June <br />18, 2024. At the time, the applicants had described their request as consisting of the conduct <br />of after-school programming and office uses in the existing building. They indicated that the <br />building itself would not be remodeled on the exterior. Interior remodeling would consist <br />primarily of modifications to create an activity space in support of the after-school <br />programming. The applicants suggested that one floor of the building would remain unused at <br />the current time. No changes to the existing site plan were envisioned. <br />The proposed change would alter the approved PUD ordinance by replacing the expected 76- <br />unit multiple-family residential use with a proposed office use and after-school program for <br />school-aged children. The site plan approvals under the approved PUD would be altered to <br />retain the existing building and site improvements, which largely consist of paved parking lot <br />serving the original bank facility. <br />At the public hearing in June, the applicants expanded on their description of the uses of the <br />building, which included testimony that a variety of language and other academic classes would <br />be provided, as well as technical training in various disciplines.
