Item 7 Conditional Use Permit for Minnesota School of Business
Ms. Camille Mcardie requested Council approval of a conditional use
permit to allow the operation of a Veterinary Technology Program at the
Minnesota School of Business, located in the Southfork Shopping Center at
17645 Juniper Path.
Planning Director Daryl Morey explained that Myhre Holdings Lakeville,
LLC (Minnesota School of Business) has purchased the building and will be
utilizing 5,515 square feet of the 23,676 square foot building. The existing
tenants will remain in their current leased spaces. This past summer,
Minnesota School of Business purchased the adjacent building for their
new Lakeville campus and opened the first higher- education facility in
Lakeville.
Mr. Morey explained that the zoning ordinance considers the business
school an adult education facility in the C -3, General Commercial District,
which requires approval of a conditional use permit. While the adult
education facility will not operate as a veterinary clinic, staff prepared an
analysis to demonstrate the compatibility of the proposed Veterinary
Technology Program with the City's ordinance standards for veterinary
clinics. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the
conditional use permit request and recommended approval subject to six
stipulations.
10.10 Motion was made by Swecker, seconded by Miller to approve Findings of
Fact and a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of an adult
education facility in the C -3, General Commercial District, located at
17645 Juniper Path.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, unanimous.
