r RESOLUTION PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF NEW BRIGHTON RESOLUTION MAKING FINDINGS OF FACT AND RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO SITE PLAN LP2006-001 DOCUMENTED UNDER RESOLUTION #06-029. WHEREAS, an application has been made by FW Gordon Construction to be considered for an amendment to a previously approved Site Plan, which revises the materials proposed for the exterior of the building at 1820 Old Highway 8 NW, known as the Rush Lake office building. WHEREAS, the procedural history of the application is as follows: 1. The City Council approved LP2005-006 on April 26, 2005. 2. The City Council approved LP2006-001 on March 28, 2006. 3. An application for a Site Plan Amendment was received on November 2, 2007. 4. The Planning Commission considered the amended Site Plan on November 20, 2007. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission makes the following Findings of Fact with respect to amended LP2007-012: 1. The Site Plan was previously approved in Resolution 06-029 and outlines development of the site in compliance with the MX district standards. 2. Resolution 06-029 reflects the re-approval of the Site Plan and Special Use Permit originally approved and documented under Resolution 05-036. 3. The proposed amendment to revise the materials proposed for the north, south and west building elevations is consistent with the General Performance standards noted in Section 6- 390. 4. The Planning Commission finds the proposed revision to the exterior materials of the east elevation (street side) is not compliant with the General Performance standards noted in Section 6-390. 5. The removal of the stone previously proposed makes the building appear more residential in nature, rather than commercial. 6. The proposed elimination of the exterior cornice element wrapping around the building between the 2nd and 3`d floors does not honor the concepts originally proposed for the building. 7. The amended Site Plan does not impact any other zoning requirements as to building height, setbacks, floor area ratios, parking, etc. 8. The proposed revision does not impact any of the conditions noted in Resolution 06-029. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that based upon the above findings of fact the application for a Site Plan Amendment (LP2007-012) is hereby recommended to the City Council for approval subject to the following conditions: 1. The east elevation is constructed with exterior materials consistent with the plan approved on March 28, 2006 in terms of the amount of stone, • 2. The exterior cornice element remains between the 2nd and 3`d floors wrapping around the entire building, as depicted on the March 2006 and April 2005 plans. 3. Continued compliance with Resolutions 06-029. I:\COMMISSIONSIPLANNING\Reports\2007\I1-20-07\LP2007-012 (FW Gordon) - RESOLUTION.doc 1
