Planning Case 16-019 – Planned Unit Development Amendment and Conditional Use <br />Permit Amendment – 1920 West Highway 96 – Public Hearing <br /> <br />Senior Planner Bachler stated that in 2005, the City approved a PUD and CUP in Planning <br />Case 05-013 for the development of a Holiday service station and convenience store at 1920 <br />West Highway 96. A CUP was required for the proposed use of the property as a service station <br />with convenience retail and car wash in the G-B - Gateway Business District. The site was <br />developed through the PUD process and allowed the developer flexibility on parking lot setback <br />requirements and use of certain building materials in exchange for additional landscaping on the <br />property and an overall superior building design. <br /> <br />Senior Planner Bachler indicated that Holiday Stationstores, Inc. is in the process of including <br />multi-use restroom facilities at their convenience stores whenever possible in order to provide <br />better customer service. The company is proposing a multi-use restroom addition on the north <br />end of their Arden Hills store. The addition would measure 15 feet – 4 inches by 19 feet – 4 <br />inches with an area of 296 square feet. <br /> <br />Senior Planner Bachler reported the proposed addition would have minimal impact on the <br />existing site operations and would not modify traffic patterns or parking areas. The addition has <br />been designed to have a consistent appearance with the existing principal structure on the <br />property. <br /> <br />Site Data <br />Land Use Plan: Light Industrial and Office <br />Existing Land Use: Commercial <br />Zoning: G-B: Gateway Business District <br />Current Lot Sizes: 162,170 square feet <br />Proposed Density: N/A <br />Topography: Relatively level <br /> <br />Senior Planner Bachler reviewed the surrounding area, the Plan Evaluation and the Conditional <br />Use Permit Administration Procedures. <br />
