2019.06.10 - Packet Crystal Planning Commission Work Session Agenda Monday, June 10, 2019 7 p.m. Crystal City Hall – Conference Room A 1. Continue review of draft Town Center district regulations* 2. Adjournment * Items for which supporting materials are included in the meeting packet TOWN CENTER AMENDMENTS TO THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE PAGE 1 OF 6 _______________________________________________________________ FROM: Dan Olson, City Planner ____________________________________________________________________ TO: Planning Commission (for June 10 Meeting) DATE: May 31, 2019 RE: Continue discussion of Town Center district amendments to the Unified Development Code A. BACKGROUND Staff is proposing amendments to the city’s Unified Development Code (UDC) relating to the creation of two new zoning districts. The amendments are to fulfill land redevelopment goals of the proposed 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The two new districts are Town Center (TC), which is a base zoning district, and Town Center – Planned Development (TC-PD), which is an overlay district. The Planning Commission is being asked to provide input on the proposed ordinance regulations before the public hearing process begins. The Commission began discussing the town center amendments at their meeting on May 13, 2019, and continued the item until the June 10th meeting so that further discussion could occur. Attachments: A. Planned land use map – 2040 Comprehensive Plan B. Proposed amendments to official zoning map C. Proposed Town Center district amendments B. PROPOSED UDC AMENDMENTS Proposed 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The comprehensive plan identifies four redevelopment areas in Crystal (see attachment A):  Area A: The area surrounding Becker Park and the proposed LRT station  Area B: A narrow parcel of land near 51st and Douglas Drive  Area C: The area along 42nd Avenue from city hall to the Robbinsdale border PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Town Center District Amendments TOWN CENTER AMENDMENTS TO THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE PAGE 2 OF 6  Area D: The area along Douglas Drive from 32nd to 36th Avenues The proposed Town Center district amendments are for area A, which was described in the plan as a future mixed use redevelopment area. The most recent 2040 plan reviewed by the Commission on December 10, 2018 did not show area A as “mixed use” on the 2040 planned land use map. Instead the map showed this area with various land use designations that reflected the use of each property. After the plan was submitted to the Metropolitan Council in December 2018, they requested the city identify area A as a mixed use area to reflect the city’s future intentions. Staff supports this change and will include it in the final 2040 Plan for City Council approval. Two additional zoning districts could be created in the future for areas C and D that are patterned after the Town Center district. The comprehensive plan provides guidance for any redevelopment in area B. Notable features of Town Center districts. The following are notable features of the proposed Town Center districts. 1. Two districts. The amendment creates a new base zoning district called Town Center and an overlay district called Town Center – Planned Development (attachment B).  Town Center base district (TC). Regulations for a base district are mandatory for those properties located in the district, except that property owners who wish to rebuild an existing use in its current configuration may do so under the UDC’s nonconforming use provisions (section 515.29 of the UDC).  Town Center – Planned Development (TC-PD). o The boundaries of the TC-PD district are shown in attachment B and on the next page. o Property owners who wish to rebuild an existing use in its current configuration may do so under the UDC’s nonconforming use provisions. o Property owners within the boundary have the option to rezone a property to TC-PD. If they choose not to rezone the property, the zoning district classification shown on the zoning map determines the required base district regulations. o The regulations for the TC-PD district are located within the Planned Development (PD) section of the UDC, which allows for flexibility from base district requirements. However the TC-PD district has specific zoning requirements the property owner must meet. On the next page is a district map and flow chart that explains how redevelop occurs in both districts. TOWN CENTER AMENDMENTS TO THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE PAGE 3 OF 6 TOWN CENTER AMENDMENTS TO THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE PAGE 4 OF 6 2. Building placement and form: The new districts emphasize the building’s placement on the lot. The following are noteworthy requirements:  Setbacks. The building would be set back at least 1’ but no more than 10’ from the front property line. Currently front setbacks in other business districts are 30’, however staff proposes that the front setback in the Commercial (C) and Industrial (I) districts be changed to a minimum of 10’. With this change there would be less of a dramatic difference in building locations between the TC and C/I districts.  Façade. On the primary façade: o At least 50% of the façade would be required to have windows, while any upper floors would have at least 30% windows. o At least 30% of the windows are to remain free of signage. o The building shall occupy at least 75% of the length along the property line.  Building height. The height limits would be the same as the Commercial and Industrial districts: 5 stories or 60’, whichever is less. For those areas in either district near single or two family dwellings, a shadow study and mitigation would be required to reduce negative impacts to dwellings.  Encroachments. Certain building elements, such as awnings, would be allowed to encroach into the required setback. 3. Land Uses:  TC district. The main objective in allowing specific land uses is to create a vibrant street scene. This is especially important considering that the TC district is relatively small in size. To create that street scene, uses would be limited to retail, restaurants, and offices. Multi-family residential uses would also be allowed to mix within the same building or on the same property.  TC-PD district. In addition to those uses allowed in the TC district, several additional principal uses would be allowed in the TC-PD district, including: o Adult day care facilities o Attached one-family dwellings (townhouses and row houses) o Hotels and motels o Indoor industrial uses o Private indoor recreational uses o Public buildings o Religious institutions o Schools 4. New street connections: Within the city’s main commercial area, there are opportunities to create better street connections if the properties are redeveloped. The approximate alignments of new public street connections are shown as highlighted on the next page, with affected properties outlined in red. TOWN CENTER AMENDMENTS TO THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE PAGE 5 OF 6 Upon redevelopment of one of these properties, the developer would be required to construct the respective street connections. The specific alignment, design and other details would be determined at that time. 5. Parking:  TC district. For non-residential development in the TC district, staff proposes that no off-street parking would be required. If a developer proposes to build a parking lot, the lot would be located to the rear or side of the building. For residential development, one off-street space per unit, plus one visitor space per 5 units is required.  TC-PD district. Within the TC-PD district: o The developer shall provide the required parking listed in the parking section of the UDC. o The developer may provide a parking study for approval during the rezoning application process that reduces the required number of parking spaces. o Any surface parking lot would be located to the rear or side of the building.

Transit oriented development overlay district. Reserved. 515.17. Permitted principal uses. Subd. 1. General provisions. Table 3 lists the principal uses allowed within all zoning districts except for the overlay zoning districts. Except for the TC-PD district, which has separate 79 509575v9 AMB CR225-423 requirements, The the uses permitted in the overlay districts shall be controlled by the underlying base zoning district. Subd. 2. Explanation of table of permitted uses. (a) Organization of table. Table 3 organizes the uses by use categories and use types. (1) Use categories. The use categories provide a systematic basis for assigning present and future land uses into broad general classifications (e.g., household living, commercial, etc.). The use classifications then organize land uses and activities into specific “use types” based on common functional, product, or physical characteristics, such as the type and amount of activity, the type of customers or residents, how goods or services are sold or delivered, and site conditions. (2) Use types. The use categories are divided into specific use types. The use types identify the specific uses that are considered to fall within characteristics identified in the broader use category. For example, one-family or two-family are some of the specific use types that fall under the “household living” use category. (b) Symbols in table. The symbols used in Table 3 are defined as follows: (1) Permitted uses (P). A “P” in a cell indicates that a use type is allowed by-right in the respective zoning district subject to compliance with the use-specific standards set forth in the final “use-specific standards” column of Table 3. Permitted uses are subject to all other applicable standards of this UDC; (2) Conditional uses (C). A “C” in a cell indicates that a use type is allowed as a conditional use in the respective zoning district subject to compliance with the use- specific standards set forth in the final “use-specific standards” column of Table 3 and approval of a conditional use permit in accordance with the Crystal city code, subsection 510.19. Conditional uses are subject to all other applicable standards of this UDC. (3) Prohibited uses (--). A cell with a “--" indicates that the listed use type is prohibited in the respective zoning district. (4) Use-specific standards. The “use-specific standards” column of Table 3 cross- reference standards that are specific to an individual use type and are applicable to that use in all districts unless otherwise stated in the use-specific standards. (5) Unlisted uses. If an application is submitted for a use that is not listed in Table 3, the zoning administrator is authorized to classify the new or unlisted use, with consultation from appropriate city departments, into an existing use type that most closely fits the new or unlisted use. If no similar use determination can be made, the zoning administrator shall refer the use to the planning commission, who may initiate an amendment to the text of this UDC to clarify where and how the use should be permitted. 80 509575v9 AMB CR225-423 Table 3: Permitted Principal Uses Use Category and Use Type P = Permitted Use C = Conditional Use - = Not Permitted Base Zoning Districts Use-Specific Standards in Section: R-1 R-2 R-3 C TC I AP Residential Use Category Bed and Breakfast Establishments C C C - - - - 515.19, subdivision 2 (a) Dwellings, Multi-Family - P P - P - - 515.19, subdivision 2 (b) Dwelling, One-Family, Attached - P P - - - - 515.19, subdivision 2 (c) Dwelling, One-Family, Detached P P - - - - - 515.19, subdivision 2 (d) Dwellings, Two-Family P P P - - - - Group Living Use Category Specialized Care Facilities C C P P - - - 515.19, subdivision 3 (a) State Licensed Residential Facility P P P - - - - Commercial Use Category Airport Facilities - - - - - - P 515.19, subdivision 4 (a) Animal Hospital/Veterinary Clinics [1] - - - P P P - 515.19, subdivision 4 (b) Banks or Financial Institutions - - - P P - - Banquet Halls or Event Centers - - - C - C - Brewer Taprooms, Brewpubs or Microdistillery - - - P P P - 1200 Clubs or Lodges - - - P P P - Convenience Stores - - - P P - - Day Care Facilities, Adult C C C P _ P - 515.19, subdivision 4 (c) 81 509575v9 AMB CR225-423 Table 3: Permitted Principal Uses Use Category and Use Type P = Permitted Use C = Conditional Use - = Not Permitted Base Zoning Districts Use-Specific Standards in Section: R-1 R-2 R-3 C TC I AP Day Care Facilities, Group Family P P P - - - - Funeral Homes - - - P - - - Greenhouses, Garden and Landscaping Sales and Service - - - P - P - Hotel, Motel, Extended Stay Establishments - - - P - P - 515.19, subdivision 4 (d) Kennels, Commercial [1] - - - P - P - 515.19, subdivision 4 (e) Offices, Professional - C C P P P P 515.19, subdivision 4 (f) Parking Ramps or Structures - - - P P P P 515.19, subdivision 4 (g) Personal Services [2] - C C P P P 515.19, subdivision 4 (h) Restaurants or Eating Establishments [3] - C C P P P - 515.19, subdivision 4 (hi) Retail Establishments [4] - C C P P P - 515.19, subdivision 4 (ij) Theater, Indoor - - - P P - - Vehicle Repair - - - C - P - 515.19, subdivision 4 (jk) Vehicle, Boat or Recreational Sales or Rental - - - P - P - 515.19, subdivision 4 (kl) Vehicle Fuel Sales - - - P - - - 515.19, subdivision 4 (ml) Vehicle Wash or Detailing - - - P - P - 515.19, subdivision 4 (nm) Industrial, Manufacturing, Research and Wholesale Use Category Building Materials Sales - - - - - P - 82 509575v9 AMB CR225-423 Table 3: Permitted Principal Uses Use Category and Use Type P = Permitted Use C = Conditional Use - = Not Permitted Base Zoning Districts Use-Specific Standards in Section: R-1 R-2 R-3 C TC I AP Bulk Storage of Liquids - - - P - P P 515.19, subdivision 5 (a) Industrial Uses (Indoors) - - - P - P - Industrial Or Commercial Uses with Outdoor Storage of Parts, Products, or Fuels - - - P - P - 515.19, subdivision 5 (b) Self Storage Facilities - - - P - P - Warehouse - - - P - P P Vehicle Impound Lot - - - - - C - 515.19, subdivision 5 (c) Public Facilities, Telecommunication and Utilities Use Category Essential Services P P P P P P P Public utility buildings C C C C - C P 515.19, subdivision 6 (a) Telecommunications Towers C C C C - P P 515.19, subdivision 6 (b) Wireless support structures C P P P - P P 515.19, subdivision 6 (c) Public, Institutional and Recreational Use Category Cemeteries C C C - - - - Hospitals - C C P - P - 515.19, subdivision 7 (a) Private Recreational Facilities, Indoor C C C P - P - Private Recreational Facilities, Outdoor - - - C - C - Public Parks and Playgrounds P P P - P - - Public or Semi-Public Buildings C C C C - C - 515.19, subdivision 7 (b) 83 509575v9 AMB CR225-423 Table 3: Permitted Principal Uses Use Category and Use Type P = Permitted Use C = Conditional Use - = Not Permitted Base Zoning Districts Use-Specific Standards in Section: R-1 R-2 R-3 C TC I AP Religious Institutions C C C C - C - 515.19, subdivision 7 (c) Schools, Elementary or Secondary C C C C - C - 515.19, subdivision 7 (d) Schools, Nursery or Preschool C C C C - C - 515.19, subdivision 7 (e) Schools, Trade or Business - C C P - P - 515.19, subdivision 7 (f) Notes: 1.

[3] Front setback: Building projections or bumpouts to the front of the principal building are allowed, subject to these conditions: 1) Each addition shall not exceed 24 feet in width, and the cumulative width of all additions shall not exceed 50% of the width of the principal building; 2) Each addition’s encroachment into the 30 foot required front setback shall not exceed 80 square feet, and the cumulative encroachment of all additions shall not exceed 100 square feet. Rear setback: Building projections or bumpouts to the rear of the principal building are allowed, subject to these conditions: 1) The encroachment occupies no more than 300 square feet of the area within the rear setback; 2) The width of the encroachment is no more than 50%% of the lot width measured at the rear setback line; 3) The property owner removes any existing accessory buildings from the rear yard; 4) The property owner signs and has notarized a written statement to the city acknowledging that no accessory buildings may be built or placed in the rear yard and this statement will be recorded against the property. [4] If an egress window is constructed as part of the foundation of the dwelling, the egress window shall meet the required setbacks for the dwelling. 520.03. Site development standards. Subd. 1. Purpose. The purpose of these site development standards is to further the purpose of this UDC and the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan. Furthermore these standards are intended to establish appropriate lot dimensions and setbacks within each zoning district and provide for appropriate scale of structures. Subd. 2. Site development standards. (a) Site development standards for principal buildings. Table 7 are the regulations for residential densities, setbacks, number of principal buildings, lot dimensions, building height, and green space for placing principal buildings in the city’s zoning districts. (b) Site development standards for accessory structures. Table 8 are the setback and height requirements for placing accessory structures in the city’s zoning districts.

Fences in non-residential districts. Fences in non-residential districts, including the TC-PD district, shall comply with the following: (i) For interior lots, fences shall not be taller than 4.5 feet in the front yard and 8.5 feet in the side or rear yard; and (ii) For corner lots, fence height is determined in the same manner as for corner residential lots (see Figures 9 and 10), except that the maximum height shall be 8.5 feet where a 6.5 feet fence is allowed. (iii) Fence height in front or corner side yards may exceed 4.5 feet in height up to a maximum of 8.5 feet if the fence is used as screening as allowed in the Crystal city code, subsection 520.13. (b) Locational requirements. (1) Fences may be located within a drainage and utility easement in side and rear yards. Where such fences are installed, the city will not be responsible for repairing or replacing the fence if work is done in the easement. (2) Fences shall comply with the site distance triangle requirements as provided in the Crystal city code, chapter 8. (3) All fences, including footings, shall be located entirely upon the property where the fence is located. It is the property owner’s responsibility to locate property lines prior to installing a fence. (c) Design and maintenance requirements. 134 509575v9 AMB CR225-423 (1) Barbed wire, razor wire, concertina, dannert, and above-ground electrical fences are prohibited. In the TC-PD district chain-link fences are also prohibited. (2) Fences taller than four feet shall have posts in the ground at least ½ of the height of the fence. (3) Fences shall be maintained in good repair. Any fence that is potentially dangerous or in disrepair shall be removed or repaired. Subd. 2. Retaining wall requirements. (a) Retaining walls supporting an embankment to be retained on any lot that exceeds 48 inches in height shall be benched, so that no individual vertical segment of a retaining wall exceeds a height of six feet except where the city engineer determines that topography requires a wall of greater height. Each individual horizontal bench segment, so constructed, shall be a minimum width of 36 inches (See Figure 11). (b) Retaining walls over 48 inches, measured from the top of the footing to the top of the wall, are required to be designed and certified by a registered professional licensed in Minnesota. Figure 11: Retaining walls shall be benched, or terraced, so that no individual wall exceeds a height of six feet. 520.11. Landscaping. Subd. 1. Purpose. The purpose of this subsection is to promote the beautification of the city and to generally protect the public welfare through the city’s authority to regulate land use in a method that utilizes the benefits of landscaping. Specifically, it is the purpose of this section to: (a) Preserve and enhance the variety and extent of the city’s urban forest as an integral part of this city’s identify and infrastructure; (b) Protect privacy and provide buffering between land uses of differing intensities; and (c) Increase and maintain property values. 142 509575v9 AMB CR225-423 (1) A landscaped buffer of the minimum setback area shall be provided between the parking lot and the property line of the residential use; (2) The landscaping shall have a minimum height of 36 inches and be designed and maintained to screen cars from view of the residential use. Screening may consist of shrubs, planters, solid decorative walls, or other screening devices which meet the intent of this requirement. (3) Shade trees shall also be provided at the rate of one for each 30 linear feet of landscaped area along the property line between the parking lot and the residential use. (e) Parking lots in the TC and TC-PD districts: Parking lots in the TC and TC-PD districts shall be screened from streets and sidewalks by a masonry retaining wall or evergreen hedge a minimum of 36 inches and a maximum of 48 inches in height. (e) Landscaping for parking lot interior. The landscaping for the interior of a parking lot shall comply with the following: (1) Amount of landscaping.
