ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—FEBRUARY 23, 2015 16 4. The proposed Lot 4 is not in conformance with the Subdivision Ordinance in Chapter 11 of the Arden Hills City Code because it is an interior parcel with no frontage on a publicly dedicated street. 5. The proposed Lot 4 is entitled to access and parking under an existing Reciprocal Easement Agreement (Doc. No. 2156888) that has been recorded against the property with Ramsey County. 6. The applicant has requested for flexibility through the PUD Amendment process for the proposed nonconforming Lot 4. PUD Amendment Findings 7. The applicant is requesting approval of an amendment to the Master PUD for Arden Plaza property. 8. The original Master PUD for the development was approved in Planning Case #09-011. A subsequent PUD Amendment was approved in Planning Case#11-016. 9. The PUD Amendment is being requested in order to accommodate the proposed subdivision, to include an expanded outdoor seasonal sales area on the site, to increase the size of Building #4 to be constructed in Phase III, and to allow for minor modifications to the existing parking lot. 10. The PUD process allows for flexibility within the City's regulations through a negotiated process with a developer. 11. The Arden Plaza development is located in the B-2 General Business District. 12. The City has adopted the Guiding Plan for the B-2 District that outlines future development principals for the area. 13. The City has adopted Design Standards for the B-2 District within the Zoning Code. 14. The Master PUD Amendment is in substantial conformance with the requirements of the City's Zoning Code. 15. The Master PUD Amendment is in substantial conformance with the Guiding Plan for the B-2 District. 16. The Master PUD Amendment is in substantial conformance with the City's Comprehensive Plan. 17. The submitted Site Plan for the Frattallone's Hardware outdoor seasonal sales area is in conformance with the B-2 District Design Standards. 18. Where the plan is not in conformance with the City's Zoning Code, such as for outdoor storage and displays, flexibility has been requested by the applicant and/or conditions have been placed on an approval that would mitigate the nonconformity. 19. The application is not anticipated to create a negative impact on the immediate area or the community as a whole. CUP Amendment Findings 20. The City approved a Conditional Use Permit in Planning Case 97-009 for a 3,500 square foot outdoor garden sales area on the Arden Plaza site. 21. The proposed Frattallone's Hardware outdoor sales area would measure 150 feet by 56 feet, or a total area of 8,400 square feet. 22. Section 1345.03 of the Zoning Code states that any enlargement or intensification of a conditional use not specifically permitted by the permit shall require an amended permit and all procedures shall apply as if a new permit were being requested.
