the pedestrian bridge, now under construction, that will connect the Jerry's
parking ramp.

restaurant site, followed by the park. The Phase 2 portion of the project would require future
site and building plan review and approval of the Planning Commission and City Council.

Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 Approval is based on the following findings:
I. The proposed land uses, and density are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposal meets the City's criteria for PUD zoning. The PUD zoning would:
a. 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.
c. 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 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.
d. Project is of high quality of design and design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both
existing and planned.
e. Maintains the efficiency of public streets and utilities.
f. Provides a mixture of land uses within the development.
g. The project provides 9 units of affordable housing within the development.
3. The PUD would ensure that the development proposed would be the only building that would
be allowed on the site unless an amendment to the PUD is approved by City Council.
4. The provision of public space (public park) makes up 23% of the site. The pedestrian experience
along Arcadia and Eden would be improved. The pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks
connects uses to the east to the Jerry's public parking ramp.
5. The proposed project would meet the following goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan:
a. The 9 affordable housing units would help the City of Edina achieve its goal with the Met
Council of creating 1,804 units by the year 2030.
b. Create and maintain housing options that serve a diverse range of ages, household types,
and economic situations.
c. Ensure that public realm design respects community character, supports of commercial and
mixed-use development, promotes community identity, and creates high quality experiences
for pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and motorists.
d. Per the Mixed-Use Land Use Description: "Primary uses: Retail, office, service, multifamily
residential, and institutional uses."
e. "Mixed-use development allows for a savings in time and convenience for residents who
choose to live in closer proximity to where they work and shop. Community interest is
served by this type of development, as the city is able to integrate additional residences and
businesses more efficiently within existing city infrastructure. Pedestrian amenities and

proximity of uses encourage more trips to be made by foot or bike, reducing the increase of
congestion that can otherwise result from conventional development of separated land
uses."
f. "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.
• Locate prominent buildings to visually define corners and screen parking lots.
• Locate building entries and storefronts to face the primary street, in addition to any
entries oriented towards parking areas.
g. "Support the development of mixed-use districts that provide a variety of living
opportunities within a walkable and livable area."
6. The existing roadways and parking would support the project. SEH conducted a traffic study,
which concludes that the proposed project can be supported by the existing roads and
proposed new configuration of Arcadia and Eden Avenue, including the round-a-bout.
7. The proposed uses would be an upgrade to existing conditions and previous development on
the site.
8. The subdivision simply reconfigures the three existing lots.
