as follows:
Lot 5, Block 1, Peony Promenade, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed said request at a duly called public hearing
and recommends approval.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH,
MINNESOTA, that it should and does approve the request by Mid-America Real-Estate-Minnesota for a
site plan amendment, conditional use permit and variance for a trade school in the C-3 (highway
commercial) zoning district and related site improvements, subject to the following conditions:
1. A site plan amendment is approved to allow removal of the existing bank drive-thru teller
canopy, addition of 17 parking spaces and related site improvements, in accordance with
the plans received by the city on October 27, 2016, November 29, 2016 and December 6,
2016, except as amended by this resolution.
2. A conditional use permit is approved to allow PCI Academy to locate in the C-3 (highway
commercial) zoning district, pursuant to Section 21465.07, subd. 15, with the finding that
the proposal complies with all applicable conditional use permit standards.
3. A variance is approved to allow an 8.3-foot parking setback from the southeast property line
where 20 feet is required, with the finding that the proposal complies with all applicable
variance standards.
4. The requested variance: 1) would be in harmony with the general purposes and intent of
the zoning regulations; 2) would address the practical difficulties related to adding parking
along an existing drive aisle adjacent to a commonly owned outlot used for water treatment
purposes; 3) is not based exclusively upon economic considerations; 4) would not be
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the area; 5)
would not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties, nor would it
increase traffic congestion, increase the danger of fire, endanger the public safety, or
substantially diminish property values within the neighborhood; and 6) is the minimum
action required to alleviate the practical difficulties.
