The Boston Scientific campus at 4100 Hamline Avenue North operates under a Planned <br />Unit Development (PUD) that was originally approved in 2002 for the Guidant <br />Corporation. <br />2. The last update to the PUD and Campus Master Plan took place in 2017 when the City <br />approved a 5,330 square foot building addition on the northeast corner of Building 9 <br />(Planning Case 17-013). <br />3. New building construction or site modification identified on the approved Campus <br />Master Plan requires the submittal of a Site Plan Review application prior to construction. <br />4. For building construction or site modifications not included on the Master Plan, a PUD <br />Amendment is required. <br />5. The proposed addition to Building 10 is not shown on the current Master Plan. <br />6. A public hearing for a PUD Amendment request is required before the request can be <br />brought before the City Council; provided, however, that when such changes are deemed <br />insignificant by the Zoning Administrator, the requirements of a hearing may be waived. <br />7. The changes to the site that the Applicants propose would impact less than 1% of the total <br />area within the PUD, and given these circumstances, staff waived the requirements of a <br />public hearing in this case. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />The Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions by a 5-0 vote of Planning Case <br />19-018 for a Planned Unit Development Amendment and Site Plan Review at 4100 Hamline <br />Avenue, based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans in the February 24th, 2020 Report <br />to the City Council, as amended by the following 10 conditions: <br /> <br />1.
