The City Council of the City of Prior Lake does hereby ordain: 1. The above recitals are fully incorporated herein as set forth above. 2. The Major PUD Amendment to allow for interior expansion of childcare facilities in the building located at 3575 North Berens Road is an appropriate use of the existing building. 3. City staff is authorized to complete the requested Administrative Land Subdivision of Lot 1, Block 2, Shepherds Path Addition. 4. It hereby adopts the following findings: (1) Provides a flexible approach to development which is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. 2 The proposed PUD Amendment is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance and consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Map designation for this area as Retail/General Business. (2) Create a sense of place and provide more interaction among people; The proposed PUD amendment proposes to fully utilize a currently vacant building which will help create a sense of place and provide more interaction among people. (3) Increase economic vitality and expand market opportunities; The additional commercial daycare space will increase economic vitality in an area that is currently occupied by a vacant building. (4) Provide more efficient and effective use of streets, utilities, and public facilities that support high quality land use development at a lesser cost. The proposed PUD amendment will utilize existing street and utility infrastructure which was designed and installed previously to accommodate this development. (5) Enhanced incorporation of recreational, public and open space components in the development which may be made more useable and be more suitably located than would otherwise be provided under conventional development procedures. The PUD district also encourages the developer to convey property to the public, over and above required dedications, by allowing a portion of the density to be transferred to other parts of the site. The proposed land use as a commercial daycare will bring more residents and visitors to the area who will be able to utilize the adjacent public open space and walking paths. (6) Preserves and enhances desirable site characteristics and open space, and protection of sensitive environmental features including, but not limited to, steep slopes, wetlands, and trees. Where applicable, the PUD should also encourage historic preservation, re-use and redevelopment of existing buildings. The proposed PUD amendment does not impact sensitive environmental features. 5.
