Zoning Code Review <br /> <br />A. Structure Coverage and Landscaping <br /> <br />Since the PUD encompasses all five of the proposed lots, the plans were evaluated based on <br />whether the development as a whole conforms to the B-2 District structure and landscape <br />coverage requirements. The maximum permitted structure coverage in the district is 45 percent. <br />A total of 93,118 square feet of building area is proposed across the five lots, for coverage of <br />19.4 percent. Properties must maintain minimum landscape coverage of 20 percent. The <br />development as a whole would include 114,046 square feet of landscaped area, or 23.76 percent <br />of the total area. <br /> <br /> <br />Total Area <br />(square feet) <br />Structure <br />Coverage <br />(square feet) <br />Structure <br />Coverage <br />(percentage) <br />Landscape <br />Coverage <br />(square feet) <br />Landscape <br />Coverage <br />(percentage) <br />Lot 1 (Walgreens) 76,533 14,572 19.04% 16,515 21.58% <br />Lot 2 (Future Building #2) 27,853 6,000 21.54% 7,221 25.93% <br />Lot 3 (Building #5 – Retail <br />Center) 274,548 35,647 12.98% 76,670 27.91% <br />Lot 4 (Building #5 – <br />Frattallone’s) 63,325 16,763 26.47% 6,551 10.37% <br />Lot 5 (Future Building #4) 37,732 20,136 53.37% 7,089 18.79% <br />Total (PC #15-002) 479,991 93,118 19.40% 114,046 23.76% <br />Approved PUD <br />Amendment (PC #11-016) 479,991 92,748 19.32% 112,781 23.50% <br />B-2 Zoning District <br />Requirements 13,000 45% or less 20% or more <br /> <br />B. Setbacks <br /> <br />A zero-foot setback is proposed along the side lot line of Lot 3 and Lot 4 since the subdivision <br />includes a property line through the existing retail building. The Zoning Code allows for <br />exceptions from side setback requirements provided that a proper demising wall is used and if <br />the adjacent buildings are constructed as an integral unit. The City Building Official has been <br />working with the property owner on the details of the demising wall. Building permits will be <br />required prior to any construction on the site. <br /> <br />C. Landscaping <br /> <br />A Landscaping Plan for the entire development was approved in Planning Case 09-011. For each <br />successive phase of the Master PUD, the property owner will be required to install the <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Meeting for February 23, 2015 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-002 - Arden Plaza - Master PUD Amendment and Subdivision\Memos_15-002 <br />Page 4 of 12
