RESOLUTION NO. 201649
RESOLUTION APPROVING A SITE PLAN WITH VARIANCES AT 10 SOUTHDALE
CENTER TO BUILD A 146-ROOM HILTON HOMEWOOD SUITES HOTEL
FOR NOBLE INVESTMENTS
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina,Minnesota, as follows:
Section 1. BACKGROUND.
1.01 Noble Investments is proposing to develop the northeast corner of Southdale with a four-
story, 146-room Hilton Hotel.
1.02 The legal description of the subject property is:
See attached Exhibit A
1.03 The applicant is requesting a site plan review with building setback variances from 48 to 14-24
feet on York and 48 to 21 to 46 feet for the new structure;a parking stall setback variance from
20 to 7 feet;and a parking stall variance for the entire Southdale site from 6,907 spaces to 6,297
spaces.
1.04 With the exception of the requested Variances,the proposed plans meet all minimum Zoning
Ordinance Requirements.
1.05 On April 13,2016, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed Site Plan
and Variances subject to findings and conditions.Vote: 9 Ayes and 0 Nays.
1.06 On May 3,2016 the City Council held a public hearing and reviewed the applications.
Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 The proposal would meet the required standards and ordinances for a Site Plan with the
exception of the setbacks and parking space variances.
2.02 The findings for a variance are met.The practical difficulty is cause by the unique triangular
shape of the property with two street fronts on the two"long sides' of the site.
2.03 The intent of City Code Section 36-618.(3) is met.The intent of the ordinance to encourage
setback requirement exceptions is to create an active pedestrian and streetscape environment,
rather than having buildings located away from the street with a parking lot in front. The
applicant has met the intent of the code by providing boulevard style sidewalks along 66th
and York,provided sidewalk connections from the street to the building,a main entrance off

the street,provided pedestrian street crossings,added patios in front of the building,and
located parking behind the building.
2.04 The Southdale site is unique in the PCD-3 zoning district. It is the only regional shopping mall
in Edina. There are no other 80 acre sites held in common ownership and zoned the same
within the City.
2.05 The main entrance is located toward the intersection of 66th and York with a sidewalk
connection from the boulevard sidewalk. There would be additional entrances on 66th and
York.
2.06 The parking study done by WSB Associates concludes that the City Code required parking is
not necessary for the Southdale site. Based on the study, 6127 stalls are adequate for the site.
The proposed development would provide 6,297 spaces.
2.07 In 2001,a variance was granted to Southdale for a shortage of 759 stalls. Over the past 10+
years,Southdale has operated very well without the code required parking.
2..08 A 305 stall parking variance was also granted to Southdale in 2012,when Southdale One
apartments were built.
2.09 The City of Edina does not wish to require unnecessary paving or parking structures for
parking stalls that are not needed.The City would rather have additional green space and
building if applicable.This proposed project would add both.
2.10 The alternative to the variance would be to require the applicant to construct a structured
parking ramp.

1. The Site Plan with building setback variances from 48 to 14-24 feet for the new structure; a
