<br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for June 8, 2016 <br /> <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2016\PC 16-014 - Land O' Lakes - PUD\Memos_Reports_16-014 <br />Page 8 of 15 <br /> <br /> <br />C. Planting Islands – Meets Requirements <br /> <br />At least ten (10) percent of a parking and driving area must be occupied by planting islands <br />that are at least 150 square feet in size and have at least one tree. As proposed, Phase 1 of the <br />project meets the minimum requirements with 14.89 percent of the parking lot occupied by <br />planting islands. The Master PUD and future Phase 2 of the project suggest that after the <br />expansion and reconfiguration of the north parking lot, 7.62 percent of the total parking and <br />driving areas on the property will be occupied by planting islands, hence the applicant will be <br />requiring flexibility in the future Phase 2 of the project. <br /> <br /> Zoning Code Proposed <br />Phase 1 <br />Future <br />Phase 2 <br />Total <br />Percent (%) of Planting Islands 10% Min. 14.89% 5.9% 7.62% <br />Square feet of Planting Islands 63,494 18,172 30,240 48,412 <br />Square feet of Parking Lot -- 122,054 512,886 634,940 <br /> <br /> <br />D. Off Street Parking Spaces – Meets Requirement <br /> <br />The number of parking stalls required by the City Code is determined based on the type of <br />land use proposed for a site. In this case, Land O’Lakes is classified as an office use and is <br />required to provide one (1) parking space for each 250 square feet of gross floor area. <br /> <br />Phase 1 of the project does not include any new structures and therefore, no additional <br />parking spaces are required. However, because the applicant is expanding their Campus in <br />Phase 2 additional parking spaces are required by the City Code. In order to accommodate <br />the proposed construction in Phase 2,the south parking lot is being expanded to provide a <br />total of 267 parking spaces. <br /> <br />With the proposed construction of the new 155,000 square foot four (4) story office structure <br />in Phase 2, a total of 1,676 parking spaces are required by the Code. The applicant is <br />proposing that 1,678 parking spaces be constructed between both phases and that an <br />additional 461 proof-of-parking spaces be provided for future expansion. <br /> <br /> Building <br />Square <br />Feet <br />Parking Ratio Required <br />Parking <br />Existing/Proposed <br />Parking <br />Existing <br />Office 263,800 1 per 250 sq. ft. 1,056 931 <br />(North Lot = 891) <br />(South Lot = 40) <br />Proposed Phase 1*
