AttachmentD <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: <br /> <br />CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2014 <br />6:30 P.M. - ARDEN HILLS CITY HALL <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Planning Case 14-005; Conditional Use Permit; Ambulance Dispatch Facility; 1209 <br />A. <br />County Road E West Public Hearing <br /> <br /> <br />Associate Planner Bachler stated that Allina Health has requested a Conditional Use Permit to <br />operate an ambulance substation at 1209 County Road E West. As part of this proposal, the City <br />is processing an amendment to the Zoning Code to include ambulance dispatch facility as a new <br />land use category and to allow this use as a conditional use in the B-2 General Business District. <br />Approval of this planning case is contingent on the approval of the proposed Zoning Code <br />amendment in Planning Case 14-004. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Bachler explained that Allina Health Emergency Medical Services (AHEMS) <br />provides ambulance response service for much of the north metro region, including Arden Hills, <br />under a license granted by the Minnesota Emergency Medical Services Regulatory Board. In <br />December 2013, AHEMS applied for a building permit to complete interior modifications at <br />1209 County Road E West for an ambulance substation. Staff determined that the proposed use <br />did not clearly fall under any of the permitted land use categories for the B-2 General Business <br />District and recommended that an amendment to the Zoning Code be completed to permit <br />ambulance dispatch facilities as a conditional use in the district. <br /> <br />Site Data <br />Future Land Use Plan: Community Mixed Use <br />Existing Land Use: Light Industrial <br />Zoning: B-2 General Business District <br />Current Lot Sizes: 0.99 acres <br />Topography: Level <br /> <br />Associate Planner Bachler reviewed the surrounding area, the Plan Evaluation and provided an <br />overview of the request. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Bachler stated the Planning Commission must make a finding as to whether or <br />not the proposed application would adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood or the <br />community as a whole based on the aforementioned factors. Staff offers the following eleven <br />(11) findings for consideration: <br /> <br />1. The property at 1209 County Road E West is located in the B-2 General Business <br />District. <br />
