Findings
1. Methodist Hospital has made application to the City Council for a
special permit under Section 6:176.4 of the Zoning Ordinance to amend an
existing special permit, granted by Resolution 5248 providing for a
Residential and Institutional Development, for the purpose of adding a
parking structure for property located in the R-4 Multiple Family District
at 6500 Excelsior Boulevard for the legal description as follows:
That part of the east one-half of the northeast one-quarter and
the east one-half of the southeast one-quarter of Section 20,
Township 117, Range 21, lying northerly of Excelsior Boulevard,
northeasterly of Minnehaha Creek, easterly of Louisiana Avenue,
southerly of the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad Company
property, and westerly of Brooklawns.
2. The City Council has considered the advice and recommendation of
the Planning Commission (Case No. 76 -9 -SP) and the effect of the proposed
use on the health, safety and occupants of the surrounding lands, existing
and anticipated traffic conditions, the effect on values of properties in
the surrounding area and the effect of the use on the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The Council has determined that the proposed use will not be
detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of the community nor
will it cause serious traffic congestion nor hazards, nor will it seriously
depreciate surrounding property values, and the proposed use is in harmony
with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the Com-
prehensive Plan.
