■ Section 9 (J). In the event a nonconforming building is hereafter destroyed by any cause, it shall not be restored or reconstructed except in conformity with the applicable requirements of this ordinance. ■ Section 11 (A) #1. No building permit or other permit pertaining to the use of land or buildings shall be issued unless such building is designed and arranged to conform to the provisions of this ordinance. The applicant appealed the building permit denial to the Planning Commission in November, 2000. In December, 2000, the Arden Hills City Council affirmed the decision of the Building Official to deny a building permit for the reconstruction of a tower on this site. At this time, the applicant has submitted an application for a concept PUD for the construction of two office buildings, structured parking and the reconstruction of a 750 foot tower. The applicant has submitted the following information a wetlands delineation (Exhibit B) and a booklet of information and plans (Exhibit A). PUD Concept Plan Procedures & Review A Concept PUD is a discussion process that allows the applicant to present preliminary ideas to the City and to receive feedback from the City. No public hearing is held on this portion of the application so the City can not take action. The Planning Commission offers comments and suggestions to the applicant, which are then forwarded to the City Council to do the same. No suggestions made by the Planning Commission or City Council are binding to future stages of the PUD process. If the applicant so chooses, they may accept the comments of the City Council and make formal application for a Master PUD, followed by a Final PUD before construction occurs on the site. Special requirements for the Gateway Business District are outlined in Section 5 (M) of the Zoning Ordinance. The following is a review of those components, summarized in Table 1 at the end of this section: 1. Allowable Use In the Gateway Business District, "office"is a permitted principal use. Section 5 (M) #3 outlines specific requirements for the District for allowable uses. There is a stipulation by this Section that states that office uses can not occupy less than 25% or more than 50% of a project's total floor area. The Welsh Developments along Gateway Boulevard were limited in their office component to 20% (warehouse for the remaining area) so that more office use could be accommodated on the prominent corner property(I-694 & 1-3 5W). A Master PUD for that property,proposing 100% office build-out, was approved earlier this year. This proposal also proposes 100% office, 50% above the maximum permitted in the G-B District. A 750 foot antenna tower is also proposed as a use on this property. The antenna is not accessory to the office use on the property. It is considered a principal use since it does not support or in any way related to the office use on the property. Section 6 (I) 2
