The Edina City Council approved this ordinance amendment Sept. 19, 2023.
To clarify the City’s regulations regarding multiresidential land uses in the PCD-1 and PCD-2, Planned Commercial Zoning Districts, the City Attorney has recommended a Zoning Ordinance Amendment. There are two separate sections of the Zoning Ordinance that are in conflict.
First, City Code Section 36-612 (Conditionally Permitted Uses in the PCD, Planned Commercial District) allows “multiresidential uses” as a conditionally permitted use. Per Section 36-10 of City Code, Multiresidential use means a residential use permitted in the Planned Residence District (PRD) and the Mixed Development District. Permitted uses in the PRD include double dwelling unit buildings, residential townhouses, residential buildings containing six or fewer dwelling units, and residential buildings. These types of structures do not have commercial uses on the first floor or basement. Under this provision of the City Code, the City of Edina has approved multiresidential projects, including the Edina Flats, and View 44.
Second, City Code Section 36-618 (18) states that no part of any dwelling unit shall be located in a basement or on the first story of a building in the PCD-1 or PCD-2 subdistrict.
Staff has provided two options for moving forward to clarify the City Code.
