The Applicant is seeking <br />feedback from the City Council on the concept plan in advance of the full submission which <br />would include a land use application for items such as a Zoning Code Amendment, Conditional <br />Use Permit, Planned Unit Development Amendment, and Site Plan Review. <br /> <br />The Concept Plan Review process is an opportunity for the City Council to provide comments <br />and questions regarding proposed developments. A concept review is considered advisory and is <br />nonbinding to the City and Applicant (Section 1320.14, Subd 4 of the Zoning Code). No formal <br />action can be taken at a Work Session. A formal application will be subject to the full review <br />process, including a public hearing with Planning Commission and City Council review. <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />Larkin Hoffman represents a local school and worship center (“School”) that is proposing to <br />redevelop the existing industrial/office buildings on the Subject Property. The property is zoned <br />I-1, Limited Industrial, which does not allow for school or house of worship land uses. The <br />Subject Property is part of a Master Planned Unit Development (PUD) that was approved in <br />2017 for the properties at 4255, 4265, 4293, and 4295 Lexington Avenue. These four lots were <br />created through subdivisions granted by the City in 1995 and 1999. There are a total of four <br />existing buildings on the site, with the buildings at 4293 and 4295 Lexington Avenue N. sharing <br />a common wall. The PUD development functions as a single entity with the four lots sharing <br />common access driveways, utilities, stormwater management, and parking. The Applicant <br />would be proposing to redevelop the northern two buildings.
