Section 1. BACKGROUND.
1.01 Fairview Southdale Hospital is proposing to build a two-level 88,974 square foot addition for a
new Emergency Care and Urgent Care Center at their site at 6401 France Avenue.The existing
Emergency and Urgent Care facility would be remodeled for hospital use.

1.02 With the exception of the requested Variances,the proposed plans meet all minimum Zoning
Ordinance Requirements.
1.03 A drive-aisle setback variance from 20 feet to 6-10 feet is requested for a new round-a-bout
drop-off and pick-up area adjacent to Crosstown Highway is requested.
1.04 A parking stall Variance from 2,728 to 2,051 spaces is requested.
1.05 On May 22,2012 the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Site
Plan and the proposed Variances.
Section 2. FINDINGS
Approval is subject to the following findings:
1. The proposal would meet the required standards and ordinances for a Site Plan with the
exception of the parking space variance and drive aisle setback variance.
2. WSB conducted a parking and traffic impact study. The study concluded that the existing
roadway system would support the proposed project; and the parking on the site would
contain adequate parking to support the expansion and existing uses.

3. The variances requested are reasonable. The drive-aisle setback variance would have no
impact on Crosstown Highway.There would still be a 40-foot green space separation

that the site would be adequately parked.
4. The west parking ramp could be expanded should there ever be a need for additional
parking for the site.
