The request is being made in order to <br /> accommodate a prospective tenant(Grand Cleaners). No other significant changes <br /> to the site are proposed-at this time. The Planning Commission recommended <br /> treating this request as Phase I of a Planned unit Development, with Phase II <br /> to be submitted by April 1, 1999. <br /> 0 BA cR ND, <br /> 2.1 Lexington Plaza, LLC ovens the 6.5 acre parcel located at 1 682-1 754 Lexington <br /> Avenue North. The property is currently occupied by a 96,000 square foot multi- <br /> tenant shopping center in two buildings. The property is designated as Business <br /> in the City's Comprehensive Plan and is located in a B- , Retail Business District. <br /> Adjacent land uses include a combination of commercial and residential to the <br /> north, residential to the east, commercial to the south across Larpenteur Avenue <br /> West, and commercial to the west across Lexington Avenue North. <br /> 2.2 This rop <br /> e is located in Planning District 14. The City's Comprehensive Plan <br /> p <br /> designates this parcel as Business; however, the summary of issues for Planning <br /> District 14 does not specifically address this parcel. <br /> 2.3 The applicant is not proposing any change in the operation of the shopping center, <br /> other than to allover the location of a dry cleaning facility as a tenant in one of the <br /> buildings. The overall impact on parking, traffic systems, and utilities will be <br /> minimal. In general, it would be more appropriate to use a planned unit <br /> development (PUD) to accommodate a mixed use development such as this. <br /> 2.4 Section 1005.04(A)(1 9) of the City Code identifies "dry cleaning and laundry <br /> receiving stations, pr ces ina to be done elsewhere and dry cleaning s _rvice <br /> facilit' s' as a permitted use in a B-2 zoning district.
