WHEREAS, Eniva Health has requested approval of a planned unit development amendment to
allow a second freestanding sign for property presently legally described as follows:
th
Lot 1, Block 1, Northwest Business Campus 9 Addition, Hennepin County, Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed said request at a duly called public hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH,
MINNESOTA that the request for a planned unit development amendment is denied based on the
following findings:
1. The subject property is guided planned industrial on the Plymouth Comprehensive Plan Land
Use Plan.
2. The subject property is zoned PUD (planned unit development) on the Plymouth Zoning
Map.
3. The applicant is requesting to allow a second freestanding sign to remain on the site where
only one is allowed.
4. The requested PUD amendment would be not be consistent with the objectives of the
comprehensive plan or with the industrial guiding of the site. The property is subject to the
signage regulations for industrial properties, where one freestanding sign is allowed.
5. The requested PUD amendment would negatively affect the purposes and intent of the
PUD. Other industrial properties are held to the signage regulations that allow only one
freestanding sign.
6. The second sign was installed after a sign permit was applied for and denied and does not
meet the required 10-foot setback from property lines.
7. The sign does not appear to be for safety purposes in order to avoid traffic hazards, but
rather appears to be for advertising purposes.
8. The current allowance for one freestanding sign provides a reasonable use of the property
for the applicant.
