Page 1 of 11 PC Agenda Item – 3C MEMORANDUM DATE: April 5, 2023 TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Planning Case #23-006 – No Public Hearing Required Applicant: Lindey’s, Inc. Property Location: 3610 Snelling Avenue North Request: Site Plan Review Requested Action Mark and Tracy Lindemer, Lindey’s, Inc. (“The Applicants”) have submitted a land use application for Site Plan Review for a project located at 3610 Snelling Avenue North (“Subject Property”). The Applicants are proposing modifications to the existing parking lot at the Lindey’s Restaurant. The modifications are in response to the County Road E/Old Snelling Avenue Roundabout project, led by Ramsey County. Parking is to be added and modified to address truck circulation and property demands. Additional parking along the relocated County Road E driveway will include improvements to ADA parking and pedestrian areas. The Subject Property is zoned NB, Neighborhood Business District and is guided as Low Density Residential on the Land Use Plan. Background 1. Overview of Request Lindey’s Prime Steakhouse opened in Arden Hills in 1961. The City established the Neighborhood Business District on September 27, 1999. Neighborhood Business sites are located at the edge of residential neighborhoods and are intended to provide a limited range of over-the-counter, convenience, retail, and service uses to accommodate the needs of the adjacent residents. Since these areas are located adjacent to residential neighborhoods, the City did adopt limitations on the type, size and intensity of uses within this district. On November 27, 2000, the City rezoned seven sites, including the Subject Property, to NB, Neighborhood Business District. Today, the Subject Property is considered legal nonconforming in this district.
