Background The City Council approved a Final PUD for Phase 2 of the Land O’Lakes campus expansion plan on July 25, 2016 (PC 16-016). Phase 2 of the project includes the construction of a four- story, approximately 155,000 gross square foot office building located just north of the existing principal buildings on the campus. As part of the Final PUD approval, the City granted Land O’Lakes flexibility for the height of roof-mounted mechanical equipment on the office building. The Zoning Code exempts roof- mounted mechanical equipment from the building height limitations if the enclosures do not extend more than 12 feet above the roof line. The City approved a height of 14 feet – 8 inches for the roof-mounted mechanical equipment on the new building. The approved building plans included a screen along the roof line that will match the color of the building and screen the mechanical equipment from public view.
