Planning Case 16-024 — MedExpress Final PUD —1150 County Road E Senior Planner Bachler stated the City approved a Master PUD for the Arden Plaza retail center in 2009 (Planning Case 09-011). For each successive phase of the redevelopment, a Final PUD plan is required to be submitted to verify general conformance with the Master PUD and to provide more detailed development plans for the phase to be implemented. Senior Planner Bachler explained MedExpress has requested a Final PUD for Phase II to develop 1150 County Road E for a 4,733 square foot neighborhood medical clinic. The Master PUD Site Plan shows Phase II being developed as a 6,000 square foot commercial building (Attachment Q. The proposal would result in an overall lower density of development on the site than what was originally approved for Phase II. The development plans are in substantial conformance with the Master PUD plans. Senior Planner Bachler reported MedExpress operates numerous medical centers across the country that are similar to the one proposed for Arden Plaza, and the company is expanding its operations in Minnesota. Local medical centers have recently opened in Eden Prairie and Plymouth. MedExpress offers a broad scope of services, including urgent care, employer health services, and basic wellness and prevention services. The Arden Hills center would be open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Senior Planner Bachler stated the clinic would be oriented towards the other buildings within the Arden Plaza retail center with the main entrance located at the southeast corner of the building. Surface parking including 29 stalls would be placed on the south side of the lot and would be mostly screened from County Road E by the building and landscaping improvements. Sidewalks have been provided for pedestrian connections with the public sidewalk on County Road E and the internal retail center sidewalks.
