This document will be f1led with Sherburne County upon approval. Conditional Use Permits City Ordinance Section 30-1294, (d), (1), states that a proposed use within the BP-Business Park requires a Conditional Use Permit if loading areas or overhead doors are located in front yards. The proposed lot has public frontage on the north, west, and south boundaries. The applicant will request approval of a conditional use to allow proposed seven (7) overhead doors and a loading dock area on the south side of the building. Target believes the conditional use should be approved in part because the true "front" yard(s) for this building are on the west side (since the front door is proposed on the west building face), and the north side (since the main parking lot is located on the north side of the building). The proposed conditional use permit is requested based on the fact that Target will provide screening elements that exceed standard ordinance requirements. The proposed site plan provides a 10-ft minimum height screening wall along the south boundary of the service yard, as well as berm with a maximum height of7-ft. Also, City Ordinance Section 30-1294, (d), (1) states that a proposed use within the Business Park requires a Conditional Use Permit for above ground storage tanks. Our proposed site plan includes six (6) cooling towers, and one (1) above-ground water storage tank. Target seeks a conditional use approval for these above ground tanks on the basis of the screening provided, as well as an agreement to paint the tanks with an earthtone color that will match the color of the building face. Site Plan Approval Target seeks Site Plan Approval for our proposed site based on its proposed design meeting or exceeding all performance standards for the BP-Business Park zoned property. The proposed site design will provide a park-like setting that will be a good neighbor for the existing adjacent land- uses, and would also be a good fit for any institutional uses that Sherburne County may propose in the future on the remaining 47.3 acres within the Business Park. Some of the highlights of this proposed development are as follows: o Low-impact development (impervious less than 50%) o Well-screened loading dock/service areas o Attractive building materials o Low traffic volumes o No rooftop equipment/Minimal exterior equipment o No commercial signage - Address signing only o High-security environment Subsection G. Operations Target has an existing Technology Center in Brooklyn Park, MN that was constructed approximately four years ago. As that facility is forecasted to reach its capacity, Target is looking to have a new facility completed that will provide additional capacity. The primary purpose of the Technology Center is to store and operate thousands of computers and Sherburne County page 3 Project Plan for Target Technology Center
