16-11208r RESOLUTION NO. 11208
RESOLUTION APPROVING AN INTERIM USE PERMIT TO ALLOW TEMPORARY
VEHICLE INVENTORY STORAGE AT 6400 LYNDALE AVENUE SOUTH
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/Mitsubishi (the "Applicant") to store
vehicle inventory at property legally described as follows:
Lots 1 & 2, Block 1, Lyndale Gardens Addition, Hennepin County, MN
WHEREAS, the Property is zoned Planned Mixed Use (PMU); and
WHEREAS, private parking lots are not permitted as a principal use of property in any
zoning district in the City; 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; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 23, 2016 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 except as follows:
The proposed interim use is not a permitted primary use within the City. In
accordance with Subsection 547.15 Subd. 3e the City Council finds that the
temporary nature of the interim use eliminates the detriment that a stand-alone
parking lot/automobile inventory storage lot will have to a mixed use area.
2. An interim use permit for Richfield-Bloomington Honda and Mitsubishi at the property
legally described above, as described in City Council Staff Report No. 80 is approved
with the following conditions:
a. The property may be used for employee parking for no more than four months
without improvements to the lot(s).
b. The interim use permit will expire four months from its effective date (September
24, 2017), or upon violation of the conditions under which the permit was issued,
whichever occurs first.
c. The Community Development Director may issue one administrative extension of
this permit for up to six additional months. The granting of this extension will
require that the parking/storage areas be paved and striped. The annual
monitoring fee, as dictated by City Code, will apply to this extension.
d. The interim use permit shall be reviewed periodically by the City to ensure
compliance with the conditions set forth in this resolution.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota this 24th day of May
2016.
