RESOLUTION NO. 2017-73
RESOLUTION APPROVING A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
REGARDING DENSITY IN THE MXC, MIXED USE CENTER DISTRICT
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 To accommodate the request, the following amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is requested:
➢ A Comprehensive Plan Amendment to increase the density from 30 units per acre to 100 units per
acre in the MXC-Mixed Use Center;
1.04 On June 28, 2017, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment. Vote: 7 Ayes and 0 Nays.
Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 Approval is subject to the following findings:
I. Higher density would seem reasonable in the MXC area given the proximity to arterial
roadways, including Eden and Vernon and Highway 100 in the Grandview area.
2. Senior Housing would generate less traffic than a similar size retail or industrial use.
3. Density proposed is similar or less than density for mixed use areas for surrounding
communities including Minnetonka, Minneapolis, Bloomington, Richfield, and St. Louis Park.
