RESOLUTION APPROVING A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
REGARDING DENSITY,HEIGHT,AND LAND USE
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina,Minnesota,as follows:
Section 1. BACKGROUND.
1.01 Bull Moose Construction is proposing to tear down the old Best Buy retail building at 310166ffi
Street West and the single family home at 6612 Xerxes and build a six-story,210 unit
apartment with an attached 1,760 square foot restaurant/coffee shop with outdoor
seating/dining on York Avenue.
1.02 To accommodate the request,three amendments to the Comprehensive Plan are requested:
r
1. Height increase from 70 feet to 75 feet.
2. Housing Density increase from 75 units per acre to 105 units per acre.
3. Re-guiding the single-family home from LDR,Low Density Residential to CAC,
Community Activity Center.
1.03 On November 12,2015,the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment.Vote:5 Ayes and 3 Nays.
Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 Approval is subject to the following findings:
1. The proposed land uses are consistent with existing and proposed land uses in this
area.The City of Richfield has guided the single family homes on the east side of
Xerxes as medium density residential;therefore,the long term vision of both Edina
and Richfield in this area is for higher densities.
2. Podium height is proposed on both Xerxes,66th and York as recommended in the
Comprehensive Plan.The six-story portion of the building is stepped back into the site
to minimize impact on adjacent property.
3. The Comprehensive Plan recognizes the Southdale area and the CAC as the most
intense district in terms of uses,height and coverage.The City allows a floor area ratio
of up to 1.5 in other parts of the City,such as 50th France;therefore,the floor area ratio
of the proposed use at 2.38,which is predominantly residential,is appropriate for the
area.
4. The traffic and parking study done by WSB concludes that the existing roadways can
support the proposed project,and there would be adequate parking provided.
