Background At the March 26, 2018 meeting, the City Council approved the Amended Conditional Use Permit (CPU) and Master Plan Amendment and Variance Approval Agreement for a 20,000 square foot addition to the Academic Commons building at Bethel University. As a condition of approval, the proposed addition required Site Plan approval. The proposed addition is a component of a larger, phased project Bethel University is planning for the Academic Commons and Lundquist Community Life Center buildings. The proposed plan would include 45,000 gross square feet of renovations within the existing Academic Commons building and a new 20,000 gross square foot addition on the northwest corner of the building on an existing small parking lot. The addition would match the height of the existing three-story Academic Commons building. The proposed renovations and addition are needed to support science academic programs on the campus.
