ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 7, 2017 3 Senior Planner Bachler reviewed the surrounding area, the Plan Evaluation and the PUD Amendment in further detail. Senior Planner Bachler provided the Findings of Fact for review: 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.
