CITY OF SCANDIA, MINNESOTA
PC RESOLUTION NO. 2021-18
APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A PLANNED UNIT
DEVELOPMENT LOCATED AT PARCEL ID 23.032.20.21.0002
WHEREAS, the Scandia Heritage Alliance and the City of Scandia has applied for a
Conditional Use Permit to allow for development of an Arts and Heritage Center on the site as
part of a Planned Unit Development, located at 14727 209th Street North, City of Scandia; and
WHEREAS, the property is legally described as follows:
See Attachment A; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the request at a duly noticed Public
Hearing on October 5, 2021, and recommended approval of the CUP with conditions: and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SCANDIA, WASHINGTON COUNTY,
MINNESOTA, that it recommends approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow for
development of an Arts and Heritage Center on the site as part of a Planned Unit Development,
located at 14727 209th Street North, based on the following findings:
1. The proposed use is consistent with the Future Land Use Map, as well as the goals of the
Comprehensive Plan. Given the proposed use’s proximity to existing development, it can
utilize existing infrastructure. The site will provide parking for the users of the Arts &
Heritage Center by utilizing existing parking on the site, though the Center will have to
coordinate scheduling with City Hall to ensure large events at both sites are not occurring
at the same time. It will not negatively impact public facilities, or impact the City’s
capital improvement plan.
2. The proposed use would not endanger the public welfare. If the applicant meets the
conditions included with this CUP and obtains all required permits, the use will not create
adverse impacts on the public health safety, morals, comfort or general welfare of the
public.
3. The proposed PUD will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the
immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted. Nearby properties are also used
for public or semi-public uses. Parcels to the south that are used for residential use are
PC Resolution No. 2021-18
Page 2 of 3
screened by existing woods and vegetation. The proposed PUD is not expected to
negatively impact adjacent property values or scenic views.
4. Given the property is used for public uses, the site is not planned to be a part of any
future residential or commercial redevelopment. Much of the parcels bordering the site
are already developed; parcels to the south that are bordering the site could still redevelop
without issue if the PUD is approved. The proposed PUD would not impact development
or improvements of surrounding properties.
5. The existing site already has water and electric, as well as access onto existing public
roadways. The City would not have to provide new services to serve or access the
proposed uses in the PUD.
6. As a PUD, the site would be deviating from some of the normal requirements of the
Development Code. The proposed deviations would include existing developments of the
site, along with portions of the proposed Arts and Heritage Center. By meeting the
criteria for a PUD, the use would be conforming to the Development Code.
7. The proposed uses of the PUD would follow applicable general performance standards of
the Development Code. The Arts and Heritage Center use does not have any use-specific
performance standards to adhere to. The current government and institutional uses on the
site currently meet applicable performance standards.
FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED, that the following conditions of approval shall be met:
1. The proposed PUD shall follow the site plan submitted to the city and reviewed with this
request. Minor changes to the site plan may be permitted, as per Chapter 2, Section 7.6 of
the Development Code.
2. The applicant shall secure any applicable permits from the Watershed District, and comply
with their requirements.
3. Details on outdoor lighting shall be submitted to the city for review prior to installation.
4. A grading plan and erosion control plan shall be submitted to the City for review prior to
issuance of a building permit, showing any areas of soil disruption and locations of any
trees to be removed and added, in order to ensure that drainage is not directed to adjacent
properties and proper erosion control measures are taken.
5. The users of the site are permitted to share on-site parking facilities. No off-street parking
on Olinda Trail is permitted.
6. The Arts and Heritage Center shall acquire agreements with the Gammelgarden Museum
and Elim Church for the shared use of parking facilities off-site.
PC Resolution No. 2021-18
Page 3 of 3
7. The Arts and Heritage Center shall work closely with the City, the Gammelgarden
Museum, and Elim Church on the scheduling of events, so as to prevent issues with parking
and traffic.
8. The applicant shall secure any other applicable Federal, State, County, and local permits
required for the project.
9. The applicant shall pay all fees and escrows associated with this application.
Adopted by the Scandia Planning Commission this 5th day of October, 2021.
