2 6.0 OVERVIEW OF PROPOSED PUD AMENDMENT: 3 6.1 The proposed AMENDMENT to the 1986 PUD includes only the area that lies within the 4 existing 88 acre Northwestern College Campus. Of the total 88 acres, 36 lie in Arden 5 Hills and 521ie in Roseville (of which only 10 acres is Little Lake Johanna) and the 6 remaining 42 acres is Campus land. 7 8 6.2 Currently, the campus has 12 academic buildings and approximately 514 faculty and staff 9 members to serve approximately 1,650 full-time equivalent students. Over the next 20 10 years (perhaps longer), the amended PUD (if fully realized) would increase the number of 11 buildings to 19 to accommodate approximately 2,400 students and approximately 682 12 faculty and staff employees. 13 14 6.3 This request seeks support to add 750 students, an increase from 1,650 to 2,400 full-time 15 equivalent students, and to construct the facilities necessary to support this growth. The 16 Roseville portion of the campus includes three existing buildings. The Long Range 17 Master Plan and amended PUD proposed an additional residence building, a fieldhouse, 18 and a visitor's center. The plan also includes a 2-deck parking stnicture where the tennis 19 courts currently stand. 20 21 6.4 None of the off-campus sites (i.e. Mel Johnson Media Center (KTIS)/student housing 22 directly south of the campus; student housing at 2980, 2924 — 2930, and 2906 Snelling 23 Avenue; and the Administration Building at 2803 Lincoln Drive) were included in the 24 Council's previous approvals and therefore are not a component of this PUD 25 Amendment. Each of these sites is regulated by its current zoning and Comprehensive 26 Land Use designation. The Mel Johnson Media Center and adjacent student housing is 27 regulated by PUD # 1254. 28 29 6.5 The materials submitted for the application include the following documents: PUD 30 Application Report, Long Range Master Plan Report (developed: Winter 2003; updated: 31 Fall 2006), Storn�water Management Study, and Traffic and Parking Impact Study. 32 33 6.6 The Traffic and Parking Impact Study indicates that developing the proposed on-campus 34 parking facilities should relieve "spillover parking on local streets east of Snelling 35 Avenue" and that adjustments in the scheduling of classes and other institutional practices 36 should help to reduce the traffic volume at key intersections during peak traffic hours. 37 38 6.7 Finally, without developing the technical specifications necessary for implementation, the 39 Stormwater Management Study identifies several goals including preserving and 40 improving the quality of nearby bodies of water through best management practices 41 related to the treatment and control of storm water. The comprehensive storm water 42 management plan, which will be required as the amended PUD is implemented, must 43 have the approvals of the City Engineer and the Rice Creek Watershed. 44 45 PF07-002_RCA_092407 Page 4 of 10
