FILE #LA23-000003 <br />March 20, 2023 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />modifications to the existing buildings on the site. <br />The proposal is primarily a parking lot expansion on the Orono parcel. The project adds <br />approximately 7,500 square feet of new hardcover to the Orono portion of the site. Some other <br />site improvements are also proposed related to landscaping. There are no hardcover limitations <br />for the property and with the expansion the Orono parcels will be at about 6.5% hardcover. <br />Conditional Use Permit Analysis <br />Staff finds the Wayzata Country Club's request to expand an existing parking lot and update <br />landscape and other hardscape on the property to be reasonable and appropriately scaled for the <br />site. <br />Applicable Regulation: Conditional Use Permit (Section 78-916) <br />The Planning Commission may recommend and the Council may grant a Conditional Use <br />Permit (CUP) as the use permit was applied for or in modified form. On the basis of the <br />application and the evidence submitted, the city must find that the proposed use at the <br />proposed location is or will be: <br />1) Consistent with the community management plan; A golf course is a conditional use <br />in the RR -1B zoning district and is consistent with the community management <br />plan. <br />2) Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as <br />required by article V, division 3 of the City Code; This criterion is met. <br />3) Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management; This criterion <br />is met. The applicant has received all necessary approvals from the City of Wayzata <br />where the majority of the work will be taking place. <br />4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; There are no <br />proposed changes to the buildings on the site and therefore this criterion is not <br />applicable. <br />5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; This <br />criterion is met. <br />6) Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is <br />planned to be used in the future; This criterion is met. <br />7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character <br />is called for in the community management plan; The Wayzata Country Club is an <br />established part of the community and character. The site updates will improve the <br />country club and benefit the surrounding area. <br />8) Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding <br />area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan; <br />The site is currently a golf course and the proposed improvements will maintain the <br />surrounding character. <br />9) Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the <br />area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when <br />compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses; The proposed <br />improvements will not negatively impact the adjacent properties. <br />10) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and <br />activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; This criterion is met. <br />
