STAFF <br />REPORT <br />BACKGROUND <br />C <br />REAL. CLASSIC. <br />Application A- 2012 -7 <br />Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning, Preliminary Plat, Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan <br />HealthPartners Services, Inc. <br />601 Jacob Lane <br />June 5, 2012 <br />HealthPartners Services, Inc. has submitted an application requesting a comprehensive plan <br />amendment, rezoning, preliminary plat, conditional use permit and site plan review for <br />construction of a new two- story, 60,000 square foot medical office /clinic at 601 Jacob Lane. The <br />proposed development site is 198,303 square feet (4.55 acres). The development site generally <br />comprises of the existing Castle Field and parking lot in front of the former City of Anoka Park <br />and Recreation building. A 2030 Comprehensive Plan amendment is required to change the land <br />use designation in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan from Park and Recreation to General <br />Commercial. A rezoning is needed for 0.519 acres of the total 4.55 from R -1 Single Family <br />Residential to B -1 Highway Business. A preliminary plat is needed to create the new <br />development parcels and other lots to be retained by the city. A conditional use permit is <br />required because the development site is located adjacent to a residential zoning district. A site <br />plan review is required for the general development plan. <br />Over the last year plus, HealthPartners has been working with the City of Anoka to acquire the <br />existing Castle Field site near Green Haven Road and Highway 10 to construct a new Riverway <br />Clinic HealthPartners currently operates Riverway Clinic at the corner of 2 Avenue and <br />Monroe Street. Along with this ongoing work, the City of Anoka Parks Department was <br />reviewing options for the existing Castle Field. These options included rehabilitating the field in <br />its current location or relocating it. On March 7, 2011, the City Council adopted a resolution <br />selecting relocating Castle Field near the high school as the preferred option. This project has <br />been approved and construction of the new Castle Field will begin in June, 2012. This green - <br />lighted discussion between HealthPartners, City of Anoka, and City of Anoka HRA to work out <br />a real estate transaction to sell the existing Castle Field site to HealthPartners and also a purchase <br />of the existing Riverway Clinic site by the City of Anoka HRA. Purchase agreements have been <br />signed for both of these transactions. It is anticipated that HealthPartners would close on the sale <br />of the existing Castle Field site on July 16, 2012 and begin construction shortly thereafter. The <br />City of Anoka HRA would also close on the sale of the existing Riverway Clinic site on July 16, <br />2012. The HRA will then leaseback the building to HealthPartners until the new clinic is <br />completed sometime in the summer of 2013. <br />Included: <br />Site Location Map <br />Rezoning Map <br />Preliminary Plat <br />City of Anoka <br />
