8. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal against the PUD standards of <br />Section 7-230 and PUD criteria of Section 7-240 of the Zoning Code and determined <br />the proposed plans are in conformance with these requirements based on the <br />following: <br />a. The total project area at 4.19 acres, exceeding the 4 acre minimum for a PUD. <br />b. The Site Plan has been developed in a manner that will ensure compatibility with <br />future development within the New Brighton Exchange redevelopment area. <br />c. An office use is consistent with the NWQ Framework Plan and the City Center <br />land use designation of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />d. An enhanced streetscape and landscape plan and pedestrian connections to <br />neighboring developments has satisfactorily been provided, justifying the <br />requested deviations from the NWQ zoning district regulations. <br />e. The building’s placement, expressive front entry, and private interior courtyard <br />are all design features consistent with the NWQ Framework Plan and City Center <br />designation of the Comprehensive Plan. <br />f. The Economic Development Commission previously recommended this site was <br />eligible for an “industrial flex” user in recognition of nearby industrial users, a <br />stronger industrial market compared to office, and that the quality of construction <br />rises to an acceptable standard for the NBE zoning district. <br />9. The proposed plat is to be known as NEW BRIGHTON EXCHANGE 3RD <br />ADDITION and creates one new lot and block and one outlot to be preserved for <br />storm water, roadway, future development, and/or park needs. <br />10. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Preliminary Plat against the <br />qualifications specified in Section 26-33 of the City Code and determined the <br />proposed plat of NEW BRIGHTON EXCHANGE 3RD ADDITION meets these <br />qualifications. <br />11. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Final Plat against Section 26-41 of <br />the City Code, which establishes the data necessary for a Final Plat. <br />12. The Planning Commission determined the proposed Final Plat meets these criteria, <br />subject to review and approval of the plat by the Ramsey County Surveyor. <br /> <br />NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that based upon the above Findings of Fact the <br />application for a Preliminary and Final Planned Unit Development (PPP17-0001, <br />PPF17-0001), Preliminary and Final Plat (PP17-0001, PPUDF17-0001) to be known <br />as NEW BRIGHTON EXCHANGE 3RD ADDITION, and Site Plan (PSP17-00012), <br />are hereby recommended to the City Council for approval, subject to the following <br />conditions: <br />1.
