2.03 The proposed affordable housing project will generate less traffic than the
existing bank facility.
2.04 The uses allowed by the rezoning are compatible with the existing mixed-use
character of the area,which includes clinic,financial, office, retail, and day care
uses, along with multiple-family residential development just a block to the
north.
2.05 The project will use sustainability principles. Most notable elements include:
compliance with Minnesota Overlay and Guide to the 2011 Enterprise Green
Communities Criteria;using the existing building rather than a tear down;
committing to a 15% energy savings;locating the building to make use of Metro
Transit; impervious surface will be reduced by 6.9%; enhanced landscaping;
making use of special construction material; installing a rain garden for storm
water management; and pedestrian oriented design.
2.06 The rezoning does not conflict with the City's Comprehensive Plan and does not
permit activities in conflict with Metropolitan Systems Plans.
• 2.07 The Project will meet the following Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives:
1. Promotion of a vision of community that is inclusive of a wide range of
ages, incomes, and abilities and offers a wide range of housing options for
Edina residents.
2. Promotion of lifecycle housing to support a range of housing options that
meet people's preferences and circumstance at all stages of life.
3. Encourage an integrated mix of building type,heights and footprints
within blocks,rather than single buildings or building groups.
4. Incorporate principles of sustainability and energy conservation into all
aspects of design,construction,renovation and long-term operation of
new and existing development.
2.08 Section 36-253 of the City Code states that the purpose and intent of a Planned
Unit Development is to include most or all of nine specified characteristics. The
Project meets the nine characteristics:
•
RESOLUTION NO. 2014-139
Page 3
• 1. Provide for the establishment of planned unit development (PUD) zoning
districts in appropriate settings and situations to create or maintain a
development pattern that is consistent with the city's comprehensive plan;
provide 39 units of affordable housing The protect will p g to assist the
City to meet its affordable housing goals.
This location is a particularly appropriate setting to implement the
affordable housing goals of the comprehensive plan because of its
proximity to transit,jobs, services, amenities and other multiple-family
residences.
The project will replace a banking facility not an existing regional
medical facility.
• The project is located at the edge of the Regional Medical area, so it
will not impede redevelopment of other land in the area for regional
medical development.
The development is also consistent with goals of the Greater Southdale
Area Final Land Use and Transportation Study Report which, among
others,include encouraging a range of housing types within the
Greater Southdale Area and providing incentives to encourage
• affordable and life cycle housing.
2. Promote a more creative and efficient approach to land use within the
city,while at the same time protecting and promoting the health, safety,
comfort, aesthetics, economic viability and general welfare of the city;
• Expanding the locations in which affordable housing can be located in
the city promotes the public health, safety and general welfare.
• Repurposing of the bank building is creative and efficient.
• The project will be professionally managed and will provide a safe
environment for residents and for neighbors.
• Even prior to the most recent amendment to the comprehensive plan,
the proposed use would have been consistent with High-Density
Residential guiding, and thus could be located in areas with the High-
Density Residential designation, including the area immediately north
of the Regional Medical area,without creating a conflict with the
comprehensive plan. Siting the project at its proposed location allows
it to be located more closely to transit,jobs, services, and amenities
than if it had been located within the closest areas guided as High-
Density Residential.
• 3. Provide for variations to the strict application of the land use regulations
in order to improve site design and operation,while at the same time
RESOLUTION NO.2014-139
Page 4
incorporate design elements that exceed the city's standards to offset the
effect of any variations. Desired design elements may include: sustainable
design, greater utilization of new technologies in building design,special
construction materials,landscaping,lighting, stormwater management,
pedestrian-oriented design and podium height at a street or transition to
residential neighborhoods, parks or other sensitive uses;
• The project will utilize sustainable design elements, special
construction materials, enhanced landscaping and stormwater
management, and pedestrian-oriented design.
4. Ensure high quality of design and design compatible with surrounding
land uses,including both existing and planned;
• The redesign and addition to the building will be of high quality,
attractive and compatible with surrounding uses.
5. Maintain or improve the efficiency of public streets and utilities;
The PUD rezoning will improve the efficiency of the public streets by
• allowing a use that will generate less traffic than the existing bank use
and that will eliminate the bank drive-through facility.
• The location promotes efficient use of transit. The development will
make improvements to the adjacent bus stop area.
6. Preserve and enhance site characteristics,including natural features,
wetland protection, trees, open space, scenic views and screening;
• The development will include enhanced landscaping and will allow
use of the open space by residents.
7. Allow for mixing of land uses within a development;
• The project will provide both affordable housing and supportive
services and will be compatible with the existing mix of uses of the
adjacent and nearby properties.
8. Encourage a variety of housing types,including affordable housing; and
• The project will add affordable housing in the City.
•
RESOLUTION NO.2014-139

• 9. Ensure the establishment of appropriate transitions between differing
land uses.
• The setbacks and landscaping provide appropriate transitions to
adjacent uses.
2.09 The Project meets the eligibility standards in Section 36-254 of the City Code for
Planned Unit Development zoning:
1. The project, a single housing type,is consistent with Chapter 36 of the
City Code and the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The project density is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
