Section 2. FINDINGS
2.01 Approval is based on the following findings:
1. The proposed plans are consistent with the approved Preliminary Rezoning Plans and
the Phase 2A and 2B Plans.
2. The proposed land uses are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The plans are consistent with the principles of the Greater Southdale Area Vision.
4. The site layout would be an improvement over a site layout required by traditional
zoning; buildings are brought up to the street, provides front door entries toward the
street, includes sidewalks throughout and around the perimeter of the site to encourage
a more pedestrian friendly environment along the street. The parking is shared between
uses.
5. The proposed buildings would be a high quality stone and glass. They are designed to
mix and blend with the existing buildings on the site.
6. The development would incorporate improved landscaping and green space, a decrease
in impervious coverage, and an infiltration area.
7. The PUD would 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.
8. 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.
• Limit driveway access from primary streets while encouraging access from
secondary streets.
• 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, and/or corridor context
and character.
C. Support and enhance commercial areas that serve the neighborhoods, the city,
and the larger region.
RESOLUTION NO. 2017-47

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 to create
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.
