RESOLUTION
•
WHEREAS, Mayo Foundation applied for a Type III, Phase II Restricted Development
#03-05 to allow the construction of a drive-up facility for a 51,000 square foot, two story family
medical facility in a R-1 zoning district. The site is located along the north side of East Circle
Drive and west of Stonehedge Drive N.E.; and,
WHEREAS, R.C.O. §§ 61.146 (Standards for Conditional Use Permits) and 62.708
(Criteria for Type I II Developments) are applicable to these requests; and,
WHEREAS, the Restricted Development allows certain mixtures of land uses which are -
not allowed within a given zoning district on a permitted or conditional basis can, if regulated,
serve both the public interest and allow a more equitable balancing of private interests than
that achieved by strict adherence to standard zoning regulations; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Department staff suggested the following findings for each of
the 11 criteria on which the Preliminary Development Plan (Drive Through Pharmaceutical
Pick Up) is to be evaluated:
a) Capacity of Public Facilities: The existing or future planned utilities in the area are
adequate to serve the proposed development.
b) Geologic Hazards: There are no known geologic hazards on the property.
c) Natural Features: For developments involving new construction, the arrangement of
buildings, paved areas and open space has, to the extent practical, utilized the existing
topography and existing desirable vegetation of the site.
d) Residential Traffic Impact: When located in a residential area, the proposed
development:
1) Will not cause traffic volumes to exceed planned capacities on local residential
streets;
2) Will not generate frequent truck traffic on local residential streets;
3) Will not create additional traffic during evening and nighttime hours on local
residential streets;
e) Traffic Generation Impact: The applicant is required to execute a Development
Agreement with the City that will outline obligations relative to future traffic
improvements and signalization in the area.
• f) Height Impacts: For developments involving new construction, the heights and
placement of proposed structures are compatible with the surrounding
development. The use of the drive through facility will be limited to
pharmaceutical pick up, which appears to be complimentary to the proposed
medical clinic.
g) Setbacks: For developments involving new construction, proposed setbacks
are related to building height and bulk in a manner consistent with that required
for permitted uses in the underlying zoning district.
h) Internal Site Design: For developments involving new construction, the
preliminary site layout indicates adequate building separation and desirable
orientation of the buildings to open spaces, street frontages or other focal points.
i) Screening and Buffering: The drive through facility is a small improvement of
the property, compared to the proposed clinic and parking. It is not anticipated
that the drive through will generate a need for additional landscaping beyond
what is proposed on the Landscaping Plan for the medical clinic.
j) Ordinance Requirements: The proposed development includes adequate
amounts of off-street parking and loading areas and, in the case of new
construction, there is adequate landscaped area to meet ordinance
• requirements.
k) General Compatibility: The relationship of the actual appearance, general
overall site design should be compatible with the proposed clinic and
surrounding area; and,
WHEREAS, on March 26, 2003, the Rochester Planning and Zoning Commission held a
public hearing on said conditional use permit and restricted development, reviewed the
application according to the requirements of R.C.O. §§ 62.706, 62.708 and recommended
approval; and,
WHEREAS, the Common Council held a public hearing on the conditional use request on
April 21, 2003, and permitted all interested persons to be heard; and,
WHEREAS, based upon the April 21s' public hearing, the Common Council determined
that the applicant satisfied the conditions Sections 62.706 and 62.708 by a preponderance of the
evidence submitted at the public hearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City' of
