<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Hugo Planning Commission <br /> <br />FROM: Max Gort, Associate Planner, though Rachel Juba, Community <br />Development Director. <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Xcel Energy – Site Plan, CUP Amendment, Variance, and Easement <br />Vacation for site located at 13620 Fenway Boulevard North <br /> <br />DATE: November 4, 2022, for the Planning Commission meeting of November <br />10, 2022 <br /> <br />ZONING: Business Park (BP) <br /> <br />COMP PLAN LAND USE: Business Park (BP) <br /> <br />120-DAY REVIEW DEADLINE: December 23, 2022 <br /> <br /> <br />1. DESCRPTION OF REQUEST: <br /> <br />The applicant, Xcel Energy, is requesting approval of a site plan to construct a two-story <br />approximately 32,000 square foot building as well as an outdoor training facility. The <br />outdoor training facility will be an expansion of the existing facility on site, which is <br />allowed by a conditional use permit. The applicant is requesting an amendment to their <br />conditional use permit (CUP) to allow for the expanded facility. A variance is being <br />requested to allow for the height of structures (poles and lattice tower) within the training <br />facility, which exceed the maximum 50 feet allowed by ordinance. Since the applicant is <br />proposing to impact a wetland on site located within a drainage and utility easement, they <br />are requesting an easement vacation. <br /> <br />2. CONTEXT: <br /> <br />Surrounding Land Use and Zoning <br /> <br />The surrounding properties to the north, west, and south are zoned Business Park (BP) and <br />Large Lot Single-Family Residential (R-1), although the singular property zoned R-1 is <br />occupied by Clearwater Creek Preserve, a passive park, rather than residential use. The <br />properties to the east are zoned General Industrial (I-3) and are occupied by industrial uses. <br />The 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides the properties to the north, west, and south for <br />Business Park (BP) and Public/Quasi-Public (PQ) use, and the properties to the east are <br />guided for Industrial (IND) use. <br />CITY OF HUGO <br /> <br />Community Development <br />Planning and Zoning <br />Staff Report
