Dear Mr. Odlaug:
Administration
Phone: 952.227.1100 I am in receipt of your letter of May 21, 2012 regarding the above - referenced property and the
Fax: 952.227.1110 City's proposed ordinance amending the Planned Unit Development (PUD) to incorporate
Building Inspections interior lot line setbacks and references to the Neighborhood Business District (BN).
Phone: 952.227.1180 The property owner of Outlot E, Mission Hills requested through you that we reference the BH,
Fax: 952.227.1190 Highway and Business Services District for the commercial development. At this time, staff is
only trying to codify the Planned Unit Development according to what is in place. With this
Engineering amendment, staff is trying to clarify the term "neighborhood commercial" use by referencing the
Phone: 952.2 BN, Neighborhood Business District regulations. Any up- zoning of the PUD would be more
Fax: 952.2277.1170 .1170 0 appropriate at the time of development review for that property, rather than in conjunction with
Finance the current amendment process.
Phone: 952.227.1140
Fax: 952.227.1110 Additionally, the property owner of Outlot E has requested that the setback requirements from
Highway 212 be revised from 35 feet for parking and 50 feet for the building, to 10 feet for both;
Park & Recreation and from Highway 101 be revised from 35 feet for parking and 50 feet for the building; to 15 feet
Phone: 952.227.1120 and 25 feet, respectively. Without a specific plan to determine the appropriateness of the
Fax: 952.227.1110 setbacks, it is premature to make the change. If, at the time of development review, it is
determined that different setback requirements are necessary to achieve the vision for a
Recreation Center neighborhood commercial use, then the standards can be amended.

Phone: 952.227.1400 The property owner has the right to apply for an amendment of the PUD standards. However, as
Fax: 952.227.1404 part of the current amendment process, we believe the requested changes exceed what had been
approved with the original development approvals for Mission Hills. As part of our report, we
