RESOLUTION APPROVING AN
INTERIM USE PERMIT
TO ALLOW A STANDALONE PARKING FACILITY
BY RICHFIELD BLOOMINGTON HONDA
AT 7700 PILLSBURY AVENUE
WHEREAS, the City of Richfield (the City) adopted a Comprehensive Plan in
2009 to guide the development of the community; and
WHEREAS, the City has adopted a Zoning Ordinance or other official controls to
assist in implementing the Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, an application has been filed with the City of Richfield which
requests an interim use permit to allow Richfield Bloomington Honda (the "Applicant") to
conduct off-site employee parking at 7700 Pillsbury Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the Property is zoned Mixed Use — Neighborhood (MU-N); and
WHEREAS, the requested interim use of the property is not permitted in the MU-
N District; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the temporary nature of the proposed
interim use eliminates the adverse effects the prohibition was intended to prevent.
Termination of the permit in seven months eliminates the detriment that a standalone
parking facility will have on the area; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 24, 2013 to
review the application for an Interim Use Permit, following mailed and published notice
as required by law; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed all materials submitted by the
Applicant; considered the oral and written testimony offered by the applicant and all
interested parties; and has now concluded that the application is in compliance with all
applicable standards and can be considered for approval.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of
Richfield, Minnesota, as follows:
1. The proposed Interim Use Permit request meets all applicable conditions and
restrictions stated in Subsection 547.15 of the 2007 Zoning Ordinance.

Honda at 7700 Pillsbury Avenue, as described in City Council Staff Report No.
129 is approved with the following conditions:
a. The Interim Use Permit will expire seven (7) months from its effective date
of August 1, 2013, or upon violation of the conditions under which the
permit was issued, whichever occurs first.

maximum of two (2) six-month extensions of the Interim Use Permit, to
expire no later than March 1, 2015.
