ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – August 5, 2020 2 square foot office and warehousing facility on existing vacant land. The Applicant is also requesting to subdivide the subject parcel into two (2) lots of record. The property is zoned GB, Gateway Business District and is guided as Light Industrial & Office on the Land Use Plan. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained this application requires additional review by Rice Creek Watershed District to resolve wetland concerns that could impact site design. Due to this, this item was not completed in time to be included on the August 5, 2020 Planning Commission agenda. Staff requests that the Planning Commission table Planning Case 20-010 until the applicant can resolve the Watershed’s concerns. A motion to table to a future meeting is necessary because this item had already been noticed as a public hearing for this evening prior to it being pulled from the agenda. Commissioner Lambeth moved, and Commissioner Subramanian seconded a motion to table action on Planning Case 20-010 to a future Planning Commission meeting. A roll call vote was taken. The motion carried unanimously (7-0). B.
