Preparation of a traffic and parking impact assessment, identifying the peak capacity of the site during busy periods, and how the site would accommodate both traffic distribution and parking needs. This assessment needs to incorporate the requirements of Hennepin County related to changes to use and access to Kenzie Terrace, a County jurisdiction roadway. 7.

The land use plan chapter of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan identifies the site for Commercial Uses. 2. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan includes a variety of mixed use opportunities on Commercial property. 3. The current Kenzie Terrace PUD District references the R-4 District for alternatives to the approved PUD plans. 4. The R-4 District includes religious assembly uses as an allowed use, and by extension, these uses are allowable in the Kenzie Terrace PUD District. 5. The proposed use is a reasonable adaptive re-use of an existing vacant building and property. 6. Religious Assembly uses are commonly found in residential areas of the City, similar to the mixed residential neighborhoods near the proposed site. 7. The site is located on major roadways supporting traffic volumes generated by the property. 8. The applicant’s proposal provides an important service to the community at large, and justifies the departure from the original PUD goals.
