E. Park Dedication (1130.08) <br /> Park dedication is not required as part of the current platting process as the final uses are not <br /> identified. Park dedication requirements for the Lots 1 and 2 will be determined at the time of <br /> future development and memorialized in a development agreement. <br /> F. Private On-Site Trails and Buffer Area <br /> The subject property has numerous trails throughout the property. The existing trails are private <br /> and were not previously dedicated to the public nor were they required to be available to the public <br /> as part of the development's approval. However, during the 2013 CUP approvals Bethel <br /> committed to continue to share these trails with the community and that agreement will not be <br /> modified as a part of this proposal. The existing trails located on the proposed new lots <br /> (Attachment D)will be impacted when the parcels develop in the future and at that time staff will <br /> work with developers to ensure appropriate pedestrian connections are implemented. <br /> 2. Chapter 13,Zoning Code Review <br /> A. Lot Area and Dimensions <br /> The B-2 district requires a minimum lot area of 13,000 square feet, a minimum lot width of 100 <br /> feet and a depth of 130 feet. The proposed lots exceed the minimum requirements. <br /> B. B-2, General Business District-Planned Unit Development(PUD)Process <br /> Proposals for new construction, redevelopment of a site, and significant modifications to existing <br /> sites shall use the Planned Unit Development(PUD)process in the B-2, General Business District. <br /> The PUD process is a tool that provides additional flexibility for development that an underlying <br /> zoning district would not otherwise allow. For example, a PUD may make exceptions to setbacks, <br /> lot coverage, parking requirements, signage, building materials, or landscaping requirements. It is <br /> intended to overcome the limitations of zoning regulations and improve the overall design of a <br /> project. While the PUD process allows the City to negotiate certain aspects of the development, <br /> any conditions imposed on the PUD must have a rational basis related to the expected impact of <br /> the development. A PUD is required for the project because it is a significant modification to the <br /> existing site. However, no flexibility is requested at this time and the PUD document will be <br /> amended as the parcels are developed in the future. At this time, the Applicant has submitted an <br /> application for the first step in the PUD review process, which is the submittal and approval of a <br /> PUD Master Plan. The PUD Master plan is an overview of overall development area. Upon <br /> approval, the Applicant or a future developer will proceed through the PUD Final Plan for each <br /> stage of development. <br /> C. Uses <br /> The current platting process is not associated with any specific development proposals. When the <br /> City does receive a development application on either of the proposed lots it will be evaluated <br /> based on the Arden Hills Zoning Code and will be required to go through the city's normal public <br /> engagement process, which includes a neighborhood meeting(s), Planning Commission and City <br /> Council. All new development in the B-2 district is also required to go through the PUD process <br /> (City Code Section 1320.085). <br /> City of Arden Hills <br /> Planning Commission Meeting for June 3,2020 <br /> P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2020\20-005 Anderson Center Subdivision—MPUD,PP,FP <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br />
