RESOLUTION NO. 11519
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 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 the
requested interim use of the property is not permitted in the MU-N District; and
WHEREAS
, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 25, 2018 to review
the application for an interim use permit; and
WHEREAS
, notice of the public hearing was mailed to properties within 350 feet of the
subject property, and published in the Sun Current newspaper on June 14, 2018; 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 18 months, 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 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 Zoning Ordinance Subsection 547.15.
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. 115 is approved
with the following conditions:
a. The interim use permit will expire on January 31, 2020, or upon violation of the
conditions under which the permit was issued, whichever occurs first.
Resolution No. 11519
b. The Community Development Director shall hold discretion to grant a maximum
of three (3) six-month extensions of the interim use permit, to expire no later than
July 31, 2021.
c. The City may terminate the interim use permit 30 days following City Council
approval of code-compliant redevelopment plans for the property.
d. 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. A maximum of 77
vehicles shall be stored on site, and vehicles shall not be parked or stored on
grass or buffer areas.

patch repair as necessary, and kept clear of any debris.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota this 10th day of July
2018.
