BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota, as follows: Section I. BACKGROUND. 1.01 Trammell Crow Chicago Development Inc., is proposing to re-develop the existing Edina School's bus garage located at 5150 and 5220 Eden Avenue. The bus garage operation will be moving into the City's Industrial Park west of Highway 100 and north of 1-494. 1.02 The specific proposal is to tear down the existing structures on the site and construct a 6- story 165 unit senior housing development with a 214 underground parking facility. 1.03 The property is legally described as follows: See Attached Exhibit A. 1.04 To accommodate the request, the following is required: I. A Rezoning from PID to PUD-13, Planned Unit Development and Preliminary Development Plan. 1.08 On June 28, 2017, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the requests. Vote: 7 Ayes and 0 Nays. Section 2. FINDINGS 2.01 Approval is based on the following findings: 1. The proposed land uses are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed project would meet the following goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan: a. Movement Patterns. • Provide sidewalks along primary streets and connections to adjacent neighborhoods along secondary streets or walkways. • Provide pedestrian amenities, such as wide sidewalks, street trees, pedestrian-scale lighting, and street furnishings (benches, trash receptacles, etc.) • A Pedestrian-Friendly Environment. Improving the auto-oriented design pattern discussed above under "Issues" will call for guidelines that change the relationship between parking, pedestrian movement and building placement. b. Encourage infill/redevelopment opportunities that optimize use of City infrastructure and that complement area, neighborhood, VdInrfidorAcontext and character. 4801 West 50th Street•Edina,Minnesota 55424 www.EdinaMN.gov.952-927-8861 . Fax 952-826-0390 RESOLUTION NO. 2017-74 Page 2 c. Support and enhance commercial areas that serve the neighborhoods, the City, and the larger region. d. Increase mixed-use development where supported by adequate infrastructure to minimize traffic congestion, support transit, and diversify the tax base. e. Increase pedestrian and bicycling opportunities and connections between neighborhoods, and with other communities, to improve transportation infrastructure and reduce dependence on the car. f. Buildings should be placed in appropriate proximity to streets creating pedestrian scale. Buildings "step down" at boundaries with lower-density districts and upper stories "step back" from street. g. Building Placement and Design. Where appropriate, building facades should form a consistent street wall that helps to define the street and enhance the pedestrian environment. On existing auto-oriented development sites, encourage placement of liner buildings close to the street to encourage pedestrian movement. i. Locate prominent buildings to visually define corners and screen parking lots. ii. Locate building entries and storefronts to face the primary street, in addition to any entries oriented towards parking areas. iii. Encourage storefront design of mixed-use buildings at ground floor level, with windows and doors along at least 50% of the front facade. iv. Encourage or require placement of surface parking to the rear or side of buildings, rather than between buildings and the street. 2. The proposal meets the City's criteria for PUD zoning. (See pages 5-7 of this report.) In summary the PUD zoning would: provide affordable housing; create a pedestrian friendly development with much better connections; provide sustainable design in the buildings; would be of high quality architecture; provide a future connection to the public parking ramp to the north; would eliminate surface parking; and enhance landscaping. 3. Ensures that the building proposed would be the only building built on the site, unless an amendment to the PUD is approved by City Council. 4. The existing roadways and proposed parking lot would support the project. Spack conducted a traffic impact study based on the proposed development, and concluded that the existing traffic generated from the project would be supported by the existing roads. Section 3.
