City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for September 28, 2020 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2020\20-010 4200 Round Lake Road PP PUD\CC Packets Page 2 of 7 Requested Action 1. Conditional Use Permit A Conditional Use Permit is required for a warehousing use within the GB District. City Code Section 1355.04 Subd. 3 of the Arden Hills Zoning Code lists the criteria for evaluating a Conditional Use Permit. The Planning Commission and City Council should consider the effect of the proposed use upon the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the owners and occupants of the surrounding land and the community, in general, including but not limited to the following factors and findings: 1. Existing and anticipated traffic and parking conditions; A traffic study was required and was completed by Kimley-Horn and Associates. The proposed trip generation is fairly low based on the Applicants proposed use of an office/warehouse use. The traffic study only had one (1) recommended improvement. The recommendation requests Ramsey County to add five (5) seconds to the signal timing for Round Lake Road and Hwy 96 to allow for more northbound left turns during the PM peak hour. As a condition of approval the Applicant shall work with Ramsey County to add five (5) seconds to the signal timing for Round Lake Road and Hwy 96 to allow for more northbound left turns during the PM peak hour prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. 2. Noise, glare, odors, vibration, smoke, dust, air pollution, heat, liquid or solid waste, and other nuisance characteristics; The proposed use does not conflict with the business functions of the existing businesses and will not pose a significant detrimental risk or nuisance to the health, safety, and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands. 3. Drainage; The proposed site plan does not negatively impact drainage on adjacent properties and the submitted stormwater onsite meets the quantity and quality standards. 4. Population density; The proposed project does not increase population density. 5. Visual and land use compatibility with uses and structures on surrounding land; The GB district requires materials and colors selected for any individual building shall be compatible with other buildings in the GB District. The Applicant is proposing to use a color palette similar to the existing buildings on Gateway Boulevard.
