Request for Council Action

1 Request for Council Action TO: Mayor and City Council THROUGH: Brian J. Anderson, City Administrator Deanna Kuennen, Community and Economic Development Director FROM: David Wanberg, AICP, City Planner MEETING DATE: September 8, 2015 SUBJECT: Resolution Grant Authority to Mayor and City Administrator to Prepare and Execute an Agreement related to a Proposed Mayo Clinic Addition on the Allina Health System Campus Background: In 2002, the City Council approved a planned unit development (PUD) master plan that included a future clinic addition on the District One Hospital Campus (now the Allina Health System Campus) at 200 State Avenue. On August 17, 2015, representatives from Mayo Clinic requested City Site Plan approval of a proposed addition to their clinic on the Allina Health System Campus. The proposed addition is substantially similar to the future addition contemplated in the approved 2002 PUD. As a result, the proposed addition does not require an amendment to the approved 2002 PUD, nor does it require action by the Planning Commission and City Council. Allina Health System, the Property Owner, believes the required parking for the proposed addition was already constructed as part of the 2002 PUD development. However, at the request of City Staff, the Owner has hired a parking and traffic consultant to verify that the required parking for the proposed addition has been provided. If City Staff determines that the campus does not have the required amount of parking to accommodate the proposed Mayo Clinic addition, then the Property Owner will have to provide the required parking. The proposed Mayo Clinic addition is not large enough to require storm water permits. However, Allina is planning to develop an addition to their hospital s Emergency Department. The City anticipates receiving Allina s application early this fall. The proposed addition to the Emergency Department will require a PUD amendment, which will require Allina to adequately handle the storm water (and parking) on the campus for the Emergency Department addition and the Mayo Clinic addition.

2 Ideally, Mayo Clinic and Allina would have submitted applications at the same time for the two proposed additions on the campus. However, Mayo Clinic has a strong desire to start construction as soon as possible. Consequently, Mayo and Allina did not choose to submit applications simultaneously. As a result, City Staff is requesting that the Allina (as the Property Owner) enter into an Agreement with the City to ensure that the campus (with the proposed Mayo Clinic addition and the proposed Allina Emergency Department addition) provides the required parking, storm water management facilities, and related improvements. City Staff is requesting that the City Council authorize the City Attorney to prepare the above referenced Agreement and authorize the Mayor and City Administrator to execute the Agreement. An executed Agreement will allow the City to issue permits for the proposed Mayo construction. However, the City Council will have an opportunity to review and take action on Allina s forthcoming PUD amendment request, which will address parking, storm water management, and other related improvements for the entire Allina campus. Recommendation: Adopt Resolution Grant Authority to Mayor and City Administrator to Prepare and Execute an Agreement related to a Proposed Mayo Clinic Addition on the Allina Health System Campus. Attachment: Resolution
