Review and approval of the final construction plans by the Fire Marshal will be required before issuance of a building permit. Findings of Fact The Planning Commission reviewed Planning Case 17-013 at their regular meeting on June 7, 2017. Draft minutes from the meeting are included in Attachment E. The Planning Commission offers the following findings of fact for consideration: 1. Boston Scientific has requested approval of a Planned Unit Development Amendment in order to construct an approximately 5,330 square foot building addition on the northeast corner of Building 9 on their corporate campus located at 4100 Hamline Avenue North. 2. The Boston Scientific Campus is a conforming use in the I-1 Limited Industrial Zoning District and operates under an approved PUD. 3. New building construction or site modifications identified on the approved Campus Master Plan require the submittal of a Site Plan Review application prior to construction. 4. The proposed addition to Building 9 is not identified on the approved Campus Master Plan and therefore a PUD Amendment is required. 5. The proposal is in conformance with underlying I-1 Zoning District requirements and the approved PUD. 6. The proposed modifications to the Building 9 parking lot would result in a reduction of total parking by eight stalls. 7. Boston Scientific has provided a Campus Parking Plan that identifies existing parking stalls and proof of parking areas to meet the current needs of the approximately 2,200 employees on the property. 8. The proposal is not expected to adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood or the community as a whole. Planning Commission Recommendation The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval (4-0) of Planning Case 17-013 for a PUD Amendment at 4100 Hamline Avenue North, based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans in the June 26, 2017, Report to the City Council, as amended by the following eight (8) conditions: 1. The project shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted as amended by the conditions of approval. Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the City Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council. 2. The applicant shall continue to abide by all previous Development Agreements, Master PUD approvals, and subsequent PUD Amendment approvals.
