Requested Action 1. Planned Unit Development A Planned Unit Development (PUD) is required for all new development and redevelopment in the B-3 District. In addition, a PUD would allow for performance standard flexibility. This proposal involves both the initial Master Plan PUD and the Final PUD. 2. Conditional Use Permit In the B-3 District, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for Vehicle — Motorized Service which includes a car wash as a principal use since it provides "maintenance services" for motorized vehicles. Typical factors to consider in evaluation of the CUP request may be hours of operation, noise from equipment (washers, blowers and vacuums), lights from vehicles, and queuing of vehicles waiting for service. 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: 1. Existing and anticipated traffic and parking conditions; 2. Noise, glare, odors, vibration, smoke, dust, air pollution, heat, liquid or solid waste, and other nuisance characteristics; 3. Drainage; 4. Population density; 5. Visual and land use compatibility with uses and structures on surrounding land; 6. Adjoining land values; 7. Park dedications where applicable; 8. Orderly development of the neighborhood and the City within the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Development Plan for the City. Findings of Fact The Planning Commission reviewed this application at their January 3, 2024 meeting and have offered the following findings of fact for your consideration: 1. The property located at 3751 Lexington Avenue N. is designated for Commercial uses on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. 2. New building construction or site modification identified requires the submittal of a Site Plan Review application prior to construction. 3. For proposals for new construction, redevelopment of a site, and significant modifications to existing sites a PUD is required. 4. The PUD process allows for flexibility within the City's regulations through a negotiated process with a Developer. 5. The Applicant has proposed a Master and Final Planned Unit Development for the development of one approximate 5,400 square foot exterior drive -through car wash on the Subject Property. 6. The Master and Final Planned Unit Development generally conforms to the requirements of the City Zoning Code and design standards. 7. Where the plan is not in conformance with the City Code, flexibility has been requested by the Applicant. Page 2 of 5
