2. Conformance with the Development Principles established in the Greater Southdale Area Planning
Framework Vision. The following principles are included:
y Improved pedestrian connections to move people through and around the site.
Provide a "come to" and "stay at" development with mixed uses, retail, restaurant, public space
including seating areas, and a center plaza;
High quality buildings and design;
Provision of added shared public parking.
v Public art; and
- Economic vitality brought to Pentagon Park.
3. 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.
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.
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 fa4ade.
iv. Encourage or require placement of surface parking to the rear or side of buildings,
rather than between buildings and the street.
4. The proposal meets the City's criteria for PUD zoning. In summary the PUD zoning would:
a. Provides a mixed-use development by including retail, office, hotel and restaurants.
RESOLUTION NO. 2018-50

b. Creates a very pedestrian-friendly development with the construction of sidewalks through
and around the site.
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.
d. Provide for a more creative site design, consistent with the draft Preliminary Plan, the 2007
Plan, and goals and policies in the Comprehensive Plan.
5. The existing roadways and parking would support the project. WSB Consulting conducted a traffic
impact study, and concluded that the proposed development could be supported by the existing roads
and proposed parking, subject to road improvements.
