- Enhances the pedestrian experience along Hazelton Road and the Promenade.
• Affordable housing;
5. 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/redeve!opment opportunities that optimize use of City infrastructure and that
complement area, neighborhood, and/or corridor context and character.
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 fagade.
iv. Encourage or require placement of surface parking to the rear or side of buildings, rather
than between buildings and the street.
6. The proposal meets the City's criteria for PUD zoning. In summary the PUD zoning would:
a. Creates a more pedestrian-friendly development with the construction of improved sidewalks
and connections to the Promenade. The project would bring vibrancy to the area, and
• enhance the experience in the district.
b. The building would be of high quality stone, brick. metal and glass.
c. Ensure that the buildings proposed would be the only buildings built on the site, unless an
amendment to the PUD is approved by City Council.

looking for a new home, corporate transfers interested in Edina, single empty nesters and
retired persons.
e. Provide for a more creative site design, consistent with goals and policies in the
Comprehensive Plan.
f. Enhance green space and landscaping and utilize sustainable concepts.

traffic impact study, and concluded that the proposed development could be supported by the
existing roads and proposed parking.
