Background The property at 4100 Hamline Avenue North operates under a Master Planned Unit Development that was approved in Planning Case 02-025 for the Guidant Corporation. Boston Scientific acquired Guidant in 2006, and their Cardiac Rhythm Management Campus is now located on the site. The Campus Master Plan approved in 2002, envisioned an additional 1,029,000 square feet of building space on the property to be built over 10 to 15 years for a total of 2,187,893 square feet. The plan included twelve individual buildings and seven parking ramps on the property. A total of 419,500 square feet of additional building space was proposed for Phase 1 of the development, which was scheduled to be completed in 2006. However, due to the change in ownership to Boston Scientific and other market conditions, portions of Phase 1 have not been constructed. To date, 207,560 square feet of new building space has been built on the campus. Since 2002, the City has also approved eleven separate amendments to the original PUD to City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for February 23, 2015 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-001 - Boston Scientific - Master PUD Amendment and Subdivision\Memos_15-001 Page 1 of 9
