WHEREAS, the First Presbyterian Church applied for an Incentive Development
(#R2008-001 CUP) to permit the construction of an addition to the First Presbyterian Church
which would exceed the allowable floor area. The property is located along the south side of
Third Street S.W., and along the east side of Sixth Avenue S.W.; and,
WHEREAS, R.C.O. §62.630 sets forth the criteria for incentive developments; and,
WHEREAS, based upon Section 62.630, the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommended the following findings of fact:
Preliminary Development Plan Criteria:
a) Suitability of the Area: The proposed site is suitable as the location for an
Incentive Development. Due to the growing congregation the Church
needs to expand in order to stay at its present location. The proposed
use is compatible with the existing land uses in the area.
b) Site Design Criteria:
• 1) Capacity of Public Facilities: The existing utilities serving the site
are adequate to serve the proposed addition.
2) Geologic Hazards: Not applicable.
3) Natural Features: Not applicable.
4) Traffic Generation Impact: The anticipated traffic generated by the
addition will not cause the capacity of adjacent street to be
exceeded. The existing driveway approaches not used will need to
be restored.
5) Height Impacts: The proposed addition is compatible in height
to the surrounding development and isn't any higher than the
existing building.
6) Setbacks: The existing building doesn't comply with the setback
requirements on the west and south sides. Area accessory
developments have a setback requirement of 30 feet from property
lines in the CDC-RES zoning district. Portions of the building are
built up to the southerly and westerly lot lines. The existing
structure is considered a conforming use. The.proposed addition
• on the westside is permitted according to Section 60.424 a) 1 of the
LDM since the addition will not exceed the existing encroachment.
However, the proposed addition crosses over the lot line onto
property owned by the Mayo Foundation.
7) Internal Site Design: Not applicable.
8) Screening and Buffering: The project consists of providing shrubs
along 3r Street SW to help screen the parking lot from 3`d Street
SW. Additional plantings are proposed in the columbarium area.
9) Ordinance Requirements: The proposed project is exceeding the
required on-site parking spaces by 11; however, modifications are
needed to the parking lot layout to meet the standards of the Land
Development Manual. The existing landscaping area is only 20%
which is 10% below the requirement. With the proposed addition
the amount of landscape remains at 20% because of the landscape
being added along the north side of the parking lot. Additional
landscape area will be created with the modifications needed to the
parking lot; and,
WHEREAS, the Commission, following its public hearing, recommended approval subject
• to the following conditions:
1. Prior to submittal of the Final Development Plan, the applicant shall have
obtained the needed property,for the proposed addition from the adjacent
property owner. If the property is not obtained then the proposal shall be
revised removing that portion of the proposed addition on the adjacent
property not owned by the applicant.
2. The parking lot layout shall be revised to meet the standards of Section
64.144 and 63.400 of the Land Development Manual. Such modifications
to include removing parking from within the 6th Avenue SW right-of-way
and restoring the boulevard area, eliminating one the access points along
6th Avenue SW, etc.
3. A grading plan approval and payment of a Storm Water Management Area
Charge is applicable for any increase in impervious surface.
4. The owner shall remove any remaining driveway approaches and restore
the curb and boulevard. The condition of existing concrete sidewalk and
curb and gutter along the frontages of this property shall be reviewed by
the Public Works staff and any needed panel repair and/or replacement
work of sidewalk shall be done concurrent with the building expansion.

5. The lots need to be combined as one lot with the Olmsted County
Recorder's Office.
