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 a ssist
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 three years, or upon granting land use approvals for code-compliant redevelopment
plans, eliminates the detriment that a standalone parking facility will have on the area; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on July 27, 2015 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.
2. An interim use permit for a standalone parking facility by Richfield Bloomington Honda
at 7700 Pillsbury Avenue, as described in City Council Staff Report No. 119 is approved
with the following conditions:
a. That the interim Use Permit will expire on July 31, 2018, or upon violation of the
conditions under which the permit was issued, whichever occurs first.
b. That the City may terminate the interim use permit in the event that land use
approvals are granted for code-compliant redevelopment plans.
c. That the parking lot is to be used for employee parking only. No parking of
inventory vehicles or customer vehicles shall be permitted at any time.
d. That a maximum of 77 vehicles be stored on site.
e. That no vehicles be parked or stored on grass buffer areas.
f. That the parking area be fully paved, patched where necessary, and striped
accordingly, as shown on the approved site plan.
g. That the lot be regularly cleared of debris.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota this 11th day of August
2015.
