that the property isn't currently being used as any other viable use, staff finds the Zoning Code <br />Amendment reasonable. <br />SPECIAL USE PERMIT ANALYSIS <br />In conjunction with the proposed Zoning Code Amendment, a Special Use Permit must be <br />considered. There are two primary sets of conditions that must be evaluated in making a <br />recommendation to the City Council on the special use. The first set of standards (Section 6- <br />693) relate specifically to the helipad. The second setback of standards apply to all special uses <br />in the City and aim to address issues affecting the general health, safety, and welfare of the <br />special use. Staff has provided a full analysis below. <br />Section 6-693, item C per proposed Ordinance 835, would impose the following conditions for a <br />helipad use (staff responses in italics): <br />1) The helipad must be accessory to the office use. <br />This criterion is met. The helipad would be considered accessory to the office use at 1100 <br />Old Highway 8 NW, APi 's current corporate headquarters, as well at accessory to the <br />training center currently under construction at 1200 Old Highway 8 NW. <br />2) Permitted only on properties containing all of the following attributes: <br />a. At least four (4) acres in area or the principal use has been permitted via a Planned <br />Development, <br />This criterion is met. The combined area of 1100 Old Highway 8 NW and 1150 Old <br />Highway 8 NW is four acres. Additionally, 1150 Old Highway 8 NW (the legal parcel on <br />which the helipad would be construction on) is part of a Planning Development that was <br />approved in 2007 via Resolutions 07-035 and 07-069 and a Declaration of Covenants <br />and Restrictions dated July 30, 2007. Development of the helipad would replace the <br />9, 000 SF building approved as part of the original 2007 PUD. <br />b. Abutting Interstates 694 or 35W. <br />This criterion is met. The site located at 1100 Old Highway 8 NW, which is affiliated <br />with 1150 Old Highway 8 NW via the PUD approval, abuts Interstate 694. <br />3) Landing pads shall meet the following setbacks: <br />a. at least 320' from multi -family residential uses <br />This criterion is met. The View Apartments are the closest multi family residential use <br />and the proposed helipad would be located 340' at the closest corner. <br />b. at least 820' from single family residential uses <br />This criterion is met. Pulte's Enclave at New Brighton Exchange development contains <br />the nearest single family home, which measures 840' to the north at the closest corner. <br />c. at least 800' from schools, churches, nursing homes, or similar types of public <br />institutional uses <br />
