BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, as follows:
Section 1. BACKGROUND.
1.01 Comcast is requesting to Comprehensive Guide Plan change from Low Density
Residential to Office. The purpose of the request is to accommodate a proposal to
renovate their existing driveway and parking areas to accommodate an increase in the number
of employees within their existing three story building located in the City of Minnetonka,at
9699 Data Park Drive. The plans include construction of a new parking lot that would be
partially located on vacant property within the City of Edina.
1.02 The subject property is three acres in size,contains a wetland, steep slopes and mature trees.
1.03 A small wetland would be filled to accommodate the parking lot.Wetland credits are
requested to be purchased with the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District,for wetlands to be
• created off-site.
1.04 On September 14,2011,the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the
project.
Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 Approval is subject to the following findings:
1. The guide plan change is consistent with the adjacent land uses.
2. The R-1 zoning of this site was to serve as a place holder for future
development. Vacant land in Edina was traditionally zoned R-1, as the least
intensive zoning district.
3. Development of this site as low-density residential is not practical given the
surrounding office land uses, the major highways to the south and east, and the
site access limitations.
