CR 2012-125 PUD Overlay Rezoning for 525 Blake Roadlw�
October 23, 2012 Council Report 12-125
PUD OVERLAY REZONING — 525 BLAKE ROAD
Proposed Action
Staff recommends the following motion: Move to adopt Resolution 12-80, approving Ordinance
12-1056, placing an overlay zoning of Planned Unit Development (PUD) at 525 Blake Road for
second reading.
At the Zoning and Planning meeting, Mr. Kuznia moved and Mr. Firth seconded a motion to
adopt Resolution RZ12-18, recommending approval of Ordinance 12-1056, placing an overlay
zoning of Planned Unit Development (PUD) at 525 Blake Road. The motion was approved
unanimously.
Overview
Hopkins Blake Retail, LLC, has purchased the former BP gas station at 525 Blake Road. They
are proposing to redevelop the former BP gas station site located at 525 Blake Road into a retail
building. It is proposed that the existing building will be razed and two buildings will be
constructed. The new development will also include two lots to the north. One lot is owned by
the apartments to the east and the second owned by MnDOT. The development also has a small
area in St. Louis Park. At this time Five Guys Burger and Fries, Bruegger's Bagel, Sprint and
Fantastic Sam's are the tenants. Two additional tenants can be added.
The buildings as proposed will have approximately 12,000 square feet of retail. Access to the
new buildings will be from Cambridge Street and a new access will be from Division Street in
St. Louis Park.
The site will be rezoned with an overlay zoning of Planned Unit Development (PUD). The PUD
zoning allows flexibility with the underlying zoning of B-4. Along with the overlay zoning to
PUD, there will be an agreement with specific parameters on how the site will be developed.
Primary Issues to Consider
• What is the underlying zoning of the property, and how has the Comprehensive
Plan designated the subject site?
• Why place an overlay zone of PUD on this property?
• What are the areas that would be included in the overlay zone?
• What would staff recommend for the PUD agreement?
• What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?

Primary Issues to Consider
• What is the underlying zoning of the property, and how has the Comprehensive
Plan designated the subject site?
The zoning of the property is B-4, Neighborhood Business. For this development to occur as
proposed the property would have to be rezoned to a PUD overlay; this would allow flexibility in
site development. The Comprehensive Plan has designated this site as Commercial. The base
zoning and Comprehensive Plan designation will remain.
• Why place an overlay zone of PUD on this property?
The Planned Unit Development allows a site-specific development with the underlying zoning
remaining. This type of development allows for a departure from the strict application of the
zoning standards. The applicant and the City enter into an agreement defining the specific
allowed uses and performance standards for each PUD, and these are delineated in the
agreement. In this case the underlying zoning of business will remain. In the proposed
development the signage may exceed the allowed square footage and size, the setback along
Blake Road will be reduced, the fencing along the east side of the side not screening the
apartments.
Staff is also concerned about the appearance along Blake Road. The agreement will detail the
elevation exterior along Blake Road.
• What are the areas that would be included in the overlay zone?
The entire site of the new 525 Blake will be included in the overlay zone.
• What would staff recommend for the PUD agreement?
The following is the staff s recommendations:
• Bike parking
• Fencing on east side
• Signage
• Side yard setback along Blake
• Exterior elevation along Blake Road
• What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting?
Ms. Anderson reviewed the reasons for the PUD overlay district. No one appeared at the public
hearing regarding this item.

Alternatives
1. Approve the overlay zoning of PUD. By approving the PUD overlay, the development
will be constructed as proposed.
2. Deny the overlay zoning of PUD. By denying the PUD overlay, the development cannot
be constructed as proposed and the existing zoning will remain and any redevelopment of
these sites will have to be consistent with the existing zoning.
3. Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further information is
needed, the item should be continued.
