Public Hearing: Consider Application 2001-6 for Conditional Use Permit to allow Motor Vehicle Sales on property zoned B-3 Auto -Oriented +t:ommcre ial at 5301 Douglas Drive North (P.I.D. 08-118-21-11-0134). Application submitted by National Sales & Leasing (applicant) and Regal Car Wash XIX (property owner). Planner Sutter said that this property is currently zoned B-3, which does allow vehicle sales as a Conditional Use Permit, There would be no major physical changes, just an additional use for the property, According to the building official, this would be considered one principAl structure because it is connected by a canopy, Regal had previously applied for a Conditional Use Permit to use this area as a "quick lube", but never completed their plans and the Conditional Use Permit has since expired, There are 38 parking .spaces on this site. There would be five employee'; parking spaces for National Sales & Leasing. Requirements state that you iieed one parking space per employee or a minirnlinj of 10, wluchever is greater. Regal has stated that on maximum shift they have up to 15 emplcsyees so per requirements they would need to have 15 spots f'or their employees, Five customer and employee spaccs would be required for the sales operation, leaving 18 spaces for vehicles on display, Planner Sutter stated that staff has not observed any spillage from Regal onto West Broadway in the last couple of years, and doesn't feel that this use will affect the stacking. One of the Planning Commission members questioned why the letter from Regal's Director of Operations indicated only 33 spaces on the site, Planner Sutter said he didn't know where they got that number. There are five single-family properties on the west which were originally zoned B-4. The homes are in good to excellent condition and there is nes reason to assume they will be redeveloped. In 1999 they +mere c:hmiged from B-4 to R-1, It is required that R-1 property be screened, it it; especially important with auto -oriented commercial businesses. Staff feels the curb cut should be removed and the fence and shrubs extended, The owner of the Regal property is very unhappy with that and suggested they put an opaque gate across the curb cub that can be elosed at night. Planner Sutter also mentioned having received a letter from the adjacent residential property owners requesting that the curb cut be closed. Staff recommends approval if conditions listed in the staff memo are met and recommended putting an hours of operation restriction from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. into the Conditional Use Permit. The Conditional Use Permit tends to run with the property and future occupants/owners may want to extend the hours, so it's important that maximum hours be set now. Robert Letendre of National Sales and Leasing spoke to the Planning Commission and said lie has two issues. One is the parking situation. He stated the manager ul' Regal Car Wash was unable to make, the meeting but had indicated to hirn that although he has lip to 15 employees, most of them take buses etc. to work and not more than 3-4 employees drive, For the curb cul, he suggested a swing gate and said that they too were Concerned about cars pulling out at night and shining into houses. He also stated that closing the curb cut doesn't concern them, they can do without the access, but Regal car wash wants it. Commissioner Magnuson stated she felt that many times there isn't enough parking at Regal so they park on Edgewood. She feels screening is highly important, and she brought up the gas station on Hwy 81 as a good example of heavy screening. Commissioner T. Graham also expressed concerns about the parking and felt it would be a crunch and wouldn't approve it without a curb being put in. Commissioner VonRueden asked if the curb cut was closed could parking be increased and Planner Sutter felt 4 — 6 spaces could be added. Staff will work with Regal Car Wash and Robert Letendre about this issue. Robert Letendre also questioned whether the Planning Commission would approve of thein placing two small velsieles in the triangul,ir area between the West Broadway entrance and Regal's pole sign. He didn't feel it would block access to the property. Planner Sutter stated that area was all bituminous and not required to be screened but if cars were there you would have people walking across the entrance access. He said that can be looked at if the applicant requests it but staff recommends keeping that area clear. Commissioners also questioned signage and Planner Sutter said there would be an awning type sign less than 150 squares Feet, which would be added as part of sign permit application and there is also an empty face on Regal's existing pole sign. Some commissioners stated that they are either not considering the corner as a possible spot for parking vehicles, or felt it really needed to be looked at. It was also thought too many issues were left hanging. Planner Sutter said he felt the applicant would like a decision now so they can go forward. Conimissioner Kamp said th2t lie beck they need to submil a revised, Complete parki.ig plan. He also has an issue with the drive aisle and thinks changing the striping to allow parking in the triangular area would make it a great deal worse. He wants them to be in full agreement about the curb cut and we haven't heard from Regal yet. Commissioner Magnuson said she thought this should have been a discussion item first and that something is needed saying owner has agreed to this. Planner Sutter again stated the property owner is very unhappy with the city, he doesn't want the curb cut closed. He will speak with them to try to get them to submit a new parking plan. Kenneth Klie:k, 5319 Edgcwood Ave lel, said he is concerned about loudspeakers. It's a small site, he's been dealing with SuperAmerica for years. He's spoken with the city before but was told that if it's intermittent it's not violating the noise ordinance. He also mentioned that Regal employees hang out by the back curb cut. Moved by Commissioner Elsen and seconded by Commissioner T. Graham to close the public hearing. Motion carried. Moved by Commissioner Koss and seconded by Commissioner Elsen continue the discussion of Application 2001-6 for Conditional Use Permit to allow Motor Vehicle Sales on property zoned B-3 Auto -Oriented Commercial until staff meets with applicant regarding curb cut and parking. Motion carried. Public Hearing: Consider Application 2001-7 for Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review for construction of a new building for an existing Motor Vehicle Sales business on property zoned B-3 Auto -Oriented Commercial at 5241 West Broadway (P.I.D. 09- 118-21-22-0048), 5269 West Broadway (P.I.D. 09-118-21-22-0041) and 5160 Douglas Drive North (P.I.D. 09-118-21-22-0053). Application submitted by Dunlo Motors (applicant) and Noblin Limited Partnership (property owner). Planner Sutter stated this is currently three separate parcels, the existing site would be reconfigured, the old building would be torn down and replaced by a new, larger one. Parking would basically remain the same. A previous site plan that proposed to remove a curb cut and add landscaping appears that it wasn't done. The 1996 site plan seems to be accurate, currently there is a shared curb cut with Aamco, the new curb cut would allow access to both north and south bound traffic. They would have to meet 5' setback for encroachment. The new building would have lots of glass, but it's unclear as to the type of exterior material, it looks like colored concrete. The landscape plans show all fairly low shrubs, the forester instead suggested two trees. The grass is in tough shape, it needs central irrigation. Staff recommends approval providing conditions are met. Andy Duncanson, president of Dunlo Motors, said that regarding the previous site Ilan the council turned down the curb cut he had proposed because it was too close to the building and they didn't own the other piece of property involved. He also stated they had planted the trees and shrubs but they died. He has no problems with combining the parcels, but questioned the wisdoms of planting shade trees, thought it might affect his property's visibility from the street, which is important when selling cars. He was willing to work with the forester on this issue. He is also planning on putting in a sprinkler system. Brian Houwman, Houwman Architects, said on the drawing the vertical lines represent pre -cast wall panels. Above the glass is colored stucco -like material. The color hasn't been determined yet, but they will have the color panel before the council meeting. They also have decided not to build the detailing area (the low part) at this time, only the office area is being built. Planner Sutter mentioned that a neighbor to the west of Douglas Dr, (in an R-1 zoning), has called in the past to complain about Dunlo's loudspeaker. It isn't relevant to this this proposal, there is no expansion of use. It would only be an issue if the Planning Commission wants it to be. Andy Duncanson said that he has spoken with this neighbor. Dunlo turned down their loudspeaker and haven't heard from him for a couple years. Moved by Commissioner Kamp and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom to close the public hearing. Motion carried. Moved by Commissioner Elsen and seconded by Commissioner VonRueden to recommend to the City Council to approve Application 2001-7 for Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Review for construction of a new building for an existing Motor Vehicle Sales business on property zoned B-3 Auto -Oriented Commercial, subject to the following conditions: A All three parcels shall be combined into a single parcel for zoning and tax purposes. The building permit shall not be issued until the property owner has signed the form requesting such a parcel combination. B. The new curb & gutter being installed along part of the boundary with the Aamco property shall be installed so the face of the curb is no less than 5' from the property line as per our standard 5' setback requirement for parking lots. 4 C. The applicant shall submit a revised landscape plan showing, in addition to the landscaping currently proposed, trees to be installed along West Broadway and Douglas Drive of a type and quantity necessary to provide some buffering and shading of the property and adjacent sidewalks. The building permit shall not be issued until the new plan has been submitted to and approved by the City Forester. A revised Site Plan Review showing only the office building portion being built. Findings of Fact are as follows: The request is consistent with the requirements of Crystal City Code provided the recommended conditions are met. Motion carried. el n Discussion Item: Possible townhouse development at 7221 32"d Avenue North. Planner Sutter said that just east of Pet Food Warehouse on 32"d Ave there is a house on a very large lot that a developer would like to tear down and build townhomes. If this project went forward the city would propose to vacate the unused Nevada Ave right-of- way. The developer is proposing constructing 15 units, and would need a Conditional Use Permit. The applicant wanted to discuss this with the Planning Commission before applying. Arnie Zachman, ZB Company, said this would be a twinhome development with an association. There would be an in -ground sprinkler system. He mentioned they did a project in Golden Valley and would be copying that. When one of the Commissioners commented they thought that the Golden Valley complex was crowded and didn't feel there was enough green space, he said that in the center portion there is a green area. These twinhomes would have 20' concrete driveways, designer shingles, aluminum fascia & soffit, high grade vinyl siding and bricks in front. The master bedroom would have a walk in closet, and the front area would protrude out to give more character to the building. One of the Commissioners questioned whether he had spoken with any of the residents in the area, he said he had talked to the owner of the big parcel, but they wanted too much for their property. When asked, he said the Golden Valley units sold for about $200,000 and are now worth about $250,000 — 270,000. These are planned to be owner -occupied units, and would be in the upper $100,000's. One of the commissioners questioned whether he would have a problem reducing the triplex to a twinhome, he said it would be breaking the theme. The outside units are 24' x 42', the center unit is 28' x 42' and would have skylights. The square footage for the units would be approximately 1,300 on the main floor, 700-800 on the lower. They would be a split with a 2 -car garage. There was discussion on the parking issues, Planner Sutter said the new townhomes on Memory Lane created seven additional parking spaces, the Planning Commission can require additional parking but he wasn't sure how that could be accomplished with this plan without getting rid of a unit. There is a requirement of 20' for a fire lane, the fire department has not looked at this site yet. If the developer was willing to remove a unit, they could get 6-7 additional parking spots and could narrow the road to 24' and sign it as no parking. Snow removal was also discussed and Arnie Zachman said that snow removal is done on site, but would be hauled out if necessary. He also said another possible option could be that if the road is reduced to 22', they could put the triplex on the end and a double where the triplex is shown. Informal Discussion and Announcements. None. (a_ Moved by Commissioner Kamp and seconded by Commissioner Elsen to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m. See re ary Nystrom Motion carried. 6 M E M O R A N D U M DATE: July 9, 2001 TO: Planning Commission (July 9" meeting — Item #2) FROM:John Sutter, Planner SUBJECT: SUPPLEMENT - ITEM CONTINUED FROM JUNE 11TH MEETING: Consider Application 2001-5 for Conditional Use Permit to allow Motor Vehicle Sales on property zoned B-3 Auto -Oriented Commercial at 5301 Douglas Drive North (P.I.D. 08-118-21-11-0134). Application submitted by National Sales & Leasing (applicant) and Regal Car Wash XIX (property owner). Addition of a motor vehicles sales use (National Sales & Leasing) to an existing building and site that would also continue to be used for a car wash and auto detailing operation (Regal Car Wash). A. BACKGROUND At the time the staff memorandum was written on July 5th, staff believed that the property owner was willing to close the Edgewood Avenue curb cut in accordance with the staff recommendation from the June Planning Commission meeting. However, this understanding was not correct and the property owner has since stated that they are not willing to close the Edgewood Avenue curb cut (see attached memo from property owner dated July 5th). The Suggested Findings of Fact and Recommendation in this memo are intended to provide guidance to the Planning Commission in case it decides to recommend denial of the request based on the property owner's refusal to accept the closing of the Edgewood Avenue curb cut. B. STAFF COMMENTS See Section B in the staff memo dated July 5th C. SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF FACT Whereas, the request would be consistent with the requirements of Crystal City Code as described in Section B in the July 5th staff memo, provided the conditions in Section D of the July 5th staff memo are met; and Whereas, among these requirements are 515.35 Subd. 4(g)(6), which states, "The area is fenced and screened from view of neighboring residential uses or if abutting an R District in compliance with Subsection 515.07, Subdivision 9 of this Code"; and Whereas, to satisfy this requirement, the curb cut along Edgewood Avenue must be removed and the screening fence and shrubs must be extended in a continuous fashion to the northwest corner of the subject property; and Whereas, the property owner has stated that they are not willing to remove the curb cut along Edgewood Avenue and extend the screening fence and shrubs in a continuous fashion to the northwest corner of the subject property; and Whereas, the alternative proposed by the property owner in their memo dated July 5th does not fulfill the requirements of 515.35 Subd. 4(g)(6). Therefore, the requested Conditional Use Permit cannot be approved. D. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends denial of Application 2001-6 for Conditional Use Permit to allow Motor Vehicle Sales on property zoned B-3 Auto -Oriented Commercial at 5301 Douglas Drive North (P.I.D. 08-118-21-11-0134). Findings of fact are as stated in Section C above. The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation on the request for City Council consideration.

Thank You i 27 I L i Or ce fender -Area Manager i i ;errys a Director of Operation-; M E M O R A N D U M DATE: July 5, 2001 TO: Planning Commission (July 91h meeting — Item #2) FROM: John Sutter, Planner SUBJECT: ITEM CONTINUED FROM JUNE 11T" MEETING: Consider Application 2001- 6 for Conditional Use Permit to allow Motor Vehicle Sales on property zoned B-3 Auto -Oriented Commercial at 5301 Douglas Drive North (P.I.D. 08-118-21-11-0134). Application submitted by National Sales & Leasing (applicant) and Regal Car Wash XIX (property owner). Addition of a motor vehicles sales use (National Sales & Leasing) to an existing building and site that would also continue to be used for a car wash and auto detailing operation (Regal Car Wash). A. BACKGROUND The subject property consists of a single parcel zoned B-3 Auto -Oriented Commercial. The existing operation is a car wash and detailing shop. In April 1998, the City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit and site plan for the construction of a new building addition for the detailing shop. This application also included approval for an oil change business to move into the space formerly held by the detailing shop. However, the oil change business never began operating and as per City code the C.U.P. for the oil change business expired one year after approval. It is this former detailing shop space that National Sales & Leasing is proposing to use along with 29 of the site's parking spaces for vehicle display plus 5 spaces for customers and employees. Motor vehicle sales is a conditional use in the B-3 District. Notice of the public hearing for this application was published on May 30th and was mailed on June 1st to all property owners within 350' of the subject property. The Planning The following informational items are attached: ❑ plat map showing the location of the subject property; ❑ narratives previously submitted by National Sales & Leasing and Regal Car Wash; ❑ comments previously received from adjacent property owners; ❑ 1998 site plan (shows applicant's screening proposal for west side of property); and ❑ parking plans as proposed by applicant at June 11th meeting, proposed by applicant as of July 2"d, and as recommended by staff. B. STAFF COMMENTS 1. Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is guided for Community Commercial uses. Staff believes that the expansion of the motor vehicle sales use would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, if steps are taken to protect the residential properties across Edgewood Avenue to the west and to ensure that impacts such as overflow parking do not spill over onto adjacent public streets. The following are the plan's criteria for Community Commercial uses: These areas are primarily intended to accommodate the full range of nonautomotive retail trade and service establishments and business and professional offices which serve the entire community or subregion. Automobile - intensive uses, such as filling stations, car washes and drive-through restaurants, should require a conditional use permit in these areas. Generally, retail uses are intended to be clustered in shopping center configurations but freestanding buildings are also allowable. Substantial rehabilitation and image enhancement is proposed within Community Commercial areas. Community Commercial areas are also intended to accommodate convenience retail and service establishments which serve the day-to-day shopping needs of surrounding neighborhoods. 2. Zoning and Adjacent Land Uses. The subject property is B-3 Auto -Oriented Commercial. The surrounding land uses are a mixture of retail, office and automotive commercial to the north; multi- family residential and industrial to the east; automotive commercial, office, and single-family residential to the south, and single-family residential to the west. The addition of another auto -oriented use to the site would be compatible with the surrounding land uses only if impacts on adjacent residential properties to the west are minimized and the businesses on the site do not grow to the point that they have to spill over onto adjacent properties or public streets, boulevards and sidewalks. 3. Parking Plan. On July 2"d, the applicant submitted a revised parking plan. Staff has "marked up" this plan in an attempt to show what it could recommend for approval, and to convey information requested by the Planning Commission but missing from the applicant's submittal. The following is a summary of staffs analysis of the parking requirements: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - NATIONAL SALES & LEASING AT REGAL CAR WASH (5301 DOUGLAS) 2 Regal Car Wash — employee parking 15 + NS&L — employee and customer parking +5 + NS&L — vehicles on display +29 = Total number of spaces = 49 Staff opinion is that to allow more than 29 vehicles to be displayed on the site would be a violation of the Zoning Ordinance's requirement for off-street parking. �t. Conditional Use Permit. The following are the criteria from the Zoning Ordinance for the requested C.U.P.: 595.35 Subd. 4(g): Motor vehicle and motorized recreational equipment sales and storage garages accessory thereto provided that. 1) The architectural appearance and functional plan of the building and site may not be so dissimilar to the existing buildings or area as to cause impairment in property values or constitute a blighting influence within a reasonable distance of the lot. No negative impacts — as long as the impacts on adjacent residential properties to the west are minimized and the businesses on the site do not grow to the point that they have to spill over onto adjacent properties or public streets, boulevards and sidewalks. 2) Approval of a conditional use permit will be based on a specific site plan noting the existing facilities and improvements required to meet the provisions of this Subdivision. The only physical changes would be, as indicated on the parking plan, reconfiguration of some of the curb & gutter, re -striping the parking lot, and installing screening along the west property line. 3) Parking, driving and vehicle display areas shall be hard -surfaced to control dust. Further, these areas must be lined with concrete curb and provided for an on-site drainage system subject to the approval of the City Engineer. New curb & gutter must be minimum b6-12 style. Also, a sidewalk is needed along the east side of the auto sales building so that customers can walk between National Sales & Leasing's office and the customer parking area. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - NATIONAL SALES & LEASING AT REGAL CAR WASH (5301 DOUGLAS) 3 4) A minimum lot area of 22,500 square feet is required. Site area is approximately 58,000 sq. ft., or about just over 1 Y4 acres. 5) The lighting must be accomplished in such a way as to have no direct source of light visible from adjacent land in residential use or from the public right-of-way and must be in compliance with Subsection 515.07, Subdivision 10 of this Code. Lighting requirements would be addressed by the Building Official if any changes are made to lighting on the site. Special attention must be paid to protection of houses across Edgewood Avenue. 6) The area is fenced and screened from view of neighboring residential uses or if abutting an R District in compliance with Subsection 515.07, Subdivision 9 of this Code. The five homes across Edgewood Avenue are guided, zoned and used for low-density residential purposes and are at the eastern edge of a large, contiguous, low-density residential neighborhood covering approximately 240 acres in Crystal and New Hope. It is critical that this neighborhood be protected from the impacts of commercial uses along West Broadway and Douglas Drive, especially automobile -related uses. Staff believes that this ordinance provision requires that the subject property's curb cut along Edgewood be removed and that a screening fence and shrubs identical to those currently in place be extended to the northwest corner of the subject property. The applicant previously proposed to leave the curb cut in place but has since agreed to implement the staff recommendation if this request is approved. 7) Vehicular access points may create a minimum of conflict with through traffic movement and shall comply with Subsection 515.09 of this Code. Another reason to close the curb cut on Edgewood would be to prevent cut -through traffic from using residential streets and to deter overflow of parking from the commercial use onto residential streets. Staff concern is that auto -related businesses often rapidly outgrow their sites and start taking up public space to accommodate their growth. This would be undesirable in any context but is particularly undesirable where the auto related use CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - NATIONAL SALES & LEASING AT REGAL CAR WASH (5301 DOUGLAS) 4 abuts a residential neighborhood. Even after removing the Edgewood Avenue curb cut, the property would still have two access points: One on West Broadway and the other on 53rd Avenue across the street from another auto -related business. 8) All signing and informational or visual communication devices must be minimized and shall be in compliance with Section 406 of the City Code. The sign regulations will be enforced by the Building Official as part of the sign permitting process. It should be noted that the Building Official has been working with the property owner to bring their existing signage, some of which has never been permitted, into compliance with City Code. 9) Repair or work of any kind on motor vehicles and motorized recreational equipment may not be permitted. The repair or sale of products other than those specifically mentioned in this Subdivision require issuance of individual conditional use permits in compliance with this Code. Consistent with previous C.U.P.s issued for the subject property, the washing and detailing of vehicles is allowed as part of Regal - Car Wash's operations. All other types of work on motor vehicles would not be allowed. 10) On-site parking requirements consistent with Section 515.09, Subdivision 8 d) must be met. As long as there are at least five spaces reserved for customers of National Sales & Leasing, and no less than one space per employee on the maximum shift of Regal Car Wash, the rest of the legally conforming spaces (min. 9' wide x 18' deep) as shown on the parking plan may be used for the display of vehicles for sale. 11) Maximum vehicle or equipment length must be restricted to less than 32 feet unless larger units are specifically approved as a condition of the conditional use permit and provided for on the parking layout. No such vehicles are permitted on-site. 12) The provisions of Subsection 515.53, Subdivision 1 e) of this Code are considered satisfactorily met. (Added, Ord. No. 88-9, Sec. 1) See below: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - NATIONAL SALES & LEASING AT REGAL CAR WASH (5301 DOUGLAS) 5 515.53, Subdivision 1 (e): The Planning Commission shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed amendment or conditional use. Its judgment shall be based upon (but not limited to) the following factors: ❑ Relationship to municipal comprehensive plan. The proposed use is consistent with the plan if the residential neighborhood to the west is protected as required by City Code. ❑ The geographical area involved. The use and configuration of the site can accommodate the proposed use but its presence in a transitional area between residential and commercial/industrial uses means that any intensification of uses on the site must be closely monitored. ❑ Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. Because the existing property is configured for commercial uses, the proposed use will not likely depreciate the area if the neighborhood to the west is protected with removal of the curb cut and installation of screening. ❑ The character of the surrounding area. The surrounding area is a mixture of uses, some similar to the subject property and others very different. Boundaries between single-family residential and auto -oriented commercial uses are frequently a source of land use conflicts that need to be addressed in advance if possible. One additional issue is that of hours. Both Regal Car Wash and National Sales & Leasing have stated that they open no earlier than 8 a.m. and close by 7 p.m. This would be consistent with the protection of the adjacent residential area, and for this reason staff suggests an hours of operation restriction that would prohibit the businesses from operating between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. ❑ The demonstrated need for such use. The Comprehensive Plan recognizes the need for auto -oriented uses as long as they do not conflict with adjacent land uses such as established residential neighborhoods. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - NATIONAL SALES & LEASING AT REGAL CAR WASH (5301 DOUGLAS) 6 C. SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF FACT The request is consistent with the requirements of Crystal City Code as described in Section B above, provided the recommended conditions are satisfied. D. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Application 2001-6 for Conditional Use Permit to allow Motor Vehicle Sales on property zoned B-3 Auto -Oriented Commercial at 5301 Douglas Drive North (P.I.D. 08-118-21-11-0134), subject to the following conditions: No more than more than 29 vehicles for sale or lease shall be displayed on the site, excepting vehicles within the National Sales & Leasing part of the building. This number may be adjusted by staff if site conditions change, but only if all of the Zoning Ordinance's parking requirements continue to be met. 2. The parking lot shall be reconfigured and striped in accordance with the approved parking plan, and said striping shall be maintained so that it is clearly visible. This shall include closing the curb cut along Edgewood Avenue, removing the existing driveway apron, and extending the screening fence and shrubs to the northwest corner of the subject property. The Building Official has the discretion to require that a professionally drawn site plan be submitted before the curb & gutter work is initiated (including the removal of the curb cut on Edgewood). The motor vehicle sales use shall not be established until these items are completed. 3. To further protect the surrounding neighborhood, neither business shall operate between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. This includes deliveries or other activity on the site. The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation on the request for City Council consideration. The City Council will consider the request at their next regular meeting on July 171H CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - NATIONAL SALES & LEASING AT REGAL CAR WASH (5301 DOUGLAS) 7 i 133-04 Ij .OL�ti , �o•'� a_wa^ 14 0 T J -i 0 11. 10. 5. 9.

Application submitted by ZB Companies, Inc. (applicant) and Leon Waters (property owner). ZB Companies has submitted plans including a preliminary plat, grading and utility plans, landscaping plans and building plans. The staff Development Review Committee met on Friday, June 29th and identified several technical items which still need to be addressed. Staff has since met with the developer and it appears that both parties would like more time to refine the plans before bringing them before the Planning Commission for consideration. Regarding the "60 -day rule" in M.S. 15.99, the 60 -day time period in which the City is required to issue a decision begins when all required application items are submitted. In this case, the last required item was submitted on June 26th. This means that the City must make a decision on the application no later than August 25th. Assuming the Planning Commission completes the public hearing and makes its recommendation at the August 13th meeting, the City Council would consider the application at its August 21St meeting. This would fall within the 60 days. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission to continue the public hearing for one month (to the August 13th meeting). DATE: July 5, 2001 TO: Planning Commission (July 91h meeting — Item #4) FROM: John Sutter, Planner SUBJECT: Discussion Item: Possible request from Morries Brooklyn Park to establish motor vehicle sales in addition to minor auto repair at 5264 West Broadway (American Brake Service). The subject property, currently the site of American Brake Service, is located at 5264 West Broadway. It is zoned B-3 Auto -Oriented Commercial and was rezoned to B-3 in 1995. A Conditional Use Permit is required to establish Motor Vehicle Sales in the B-3 District. The following are the criteria for this conditional use, along with staffs preliminary comments: ❑ The architectural appearance and functional plan of the building and site may not be so dissimilar to the existing buildings or area as to cause impairment in property values or constitute a blighting influence within a reasonable distance of the lot. Does not appear to be an issue at this time. ❑ Approval of a conditional use permit will be based on a specific site plan noting the existing facilities and improvements required to meet the provisions of this Subdivision. Nothing yet submitted for staff to comment on. ❑ Parking, driving and vehicle display areas shall be hard -surfaced to control dust. Further, these areas must be lined with concrete curb and provided for an on-site drainage system subject to the approval of the City Engineer. Curb & gutter and hard surfacing were installed as part of the 1995 site plan approval. ❑ A minimum lot area of 22,500 square feet is required. Site area is approximately 18,750 sq. ft., falling short of the requirement by 17%. A variance has already been granted (in 1995) to allow American Brake Service to use the property (since the same lot area requirement applies to auto repair businesses). Staff cannot foresee recommending another variance from this requirement because the situation clearly doesn't meet the criteria for a finding of undue hardship which is required for granting a variance. ❑ The lighting must be accomplished in such a way as to have no direct source of light visible from adjacent land in residential use or from the public right-of-way and must be in compliance with Subsection 515.07, Subdivision 10 of this Code. Not believed to be an issue. ❑ The area is fenced and screened from view of neighboring residential uses or if abutting an R District in compliance with Subsection 515.07, Subdivision 9 of this Code. Not believed to be an issue. ❑ Vehicular access points may create a minimum of conflict with through traffic movement and shall comply with Subsection 515.09 of this Code. Not believed to be an issue. ❑ All signing and informational or visual communication devices must be minimized and shall be in compliance with Section 406 of the City Code. Not believed to be an issue. ❑ Repair or work of any kind on motor vehicles and motorized recreational equipment may not be permitted. The repair or sale of products other than those specifically mentioned in this Subdivision require issuance of individual conditional use permits in compliance with this Code. Auto Repair — Minor could continue under the previously issued C.U.P.s. ❑ On-site parking requirements consistent with Section 515.09, Subdivision 8 d) must be met. Staff lacks sufficient information to gauge the exact parking requirements for the proposed use. However, only "excess" parking (anything left over after providing for employee and customer parking) could be used for the display of vehicles for sale. ❑ Maximum vehicle or equipment length must be restricted to less than 32 feet unless larger units are specifically approved as a condition of the conditional use permit and provided for on the parking layout. No such vehicles are permitted on-site. ❑ The provisions of Subsection 515.53, Subdivision 1 e) of this Code are considered satisfactorily met. (Added, Ord. No. 88-9, Sec. 1) DISCUSSION ITEM - MORRIE'S AT AMERICAN BRAKE SERVICE (5264 WEST BROADWAY) 2 See below: 515.53, Subdivision 1 (e): The Planning Commission shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed amendment or conditional use. Its judgment shall be based upon (but not limited to) the following factors: ❑ Relationship to municipal comprehensive plan. ❑ The geographical area involved. ❑ Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. ❑ The character of the surrounding area. ❑ The demonstrated need for such use. Generally, staff is concerned about the small size of the site and the fact that a variance has already been granted from the lot area requirement. The findings of fact for the 1995 variance did not adequately explain why the lot size requirement created an undue hardship, or why the property could not be used for some other purpose consistent with the Zoning Ordinance. Even if the 1995 variance was necessary to relieve an undue hardship, staff does not feel that there is any evidence that an undue hardship still exists on the property. Accordingly, staff would likely recommend denial of the variance and conditional use permit if such a request were submitted. The Planning Commission is asked to review and discuss the issues applicable to the proposed use, and to share any ideas or concerns. Morrie's and the property owner have not yet made a formal application but if they do so by July 23`d their request would be placed on the agenda for a public hearing at the August 13th Planning Commission meeting. Enclosed is a copy of the letter from Morries and a copy of the American Brake Service site plan.

Sutter: As T indicated to you, we are interested in purchasing the above -referenced. Property. It is our understanding that the Property is presently zoned B4. We are interested in using the Property for (i) automobile sales and (ii) ^automobile repair and service. Further, it is our understanding that these lses are permitted uses under B3 zoning. We would request the zoning change for the following reasons: • The present 34 zoning appears to be dirEctly in the middle of existing B3 zones which allow vehicle sales and various automobile services and related automobile activities. • Our use of the Property would be primarily for automobile sales. The only automobile repair work would be limited to the vehicles that we are selling_ The automobile repair and service would not be open to the public. • The limited automobile service and repair work would not generate significant traffic since it would be only dealing with our vehicles. • Our proposed use is consistent; with uses 1n the immediate vicinity. Prior to proceeding with the acquisition of the Property, we would like to discuss our proposed use of the Property and permitted uses under the existing zoning ordinance further with you. Please give me a call if you need any additional information. Ver truly yours, Ronald A. Wolff X1002 June 22, 2001 Ronald A.

As you requested, the subject property has been placed on the Planning Commission agenda as a "discussion only" item for the July 9th meeting. The meeting will be held in Council Chambers at Crystal City Hall, 4141 Douglas Drive North. A copy of the Agenda Summary is enclosed. Please note that I was in error when I stated that the property is zoned B-4 Community Commercial. —The property is zoned B-3 Auto -Oriented Commercial and was rezoned to B-3 in 1995. (The zoning map indicates B-4 but it appears that it simply wasn't updated after the zoning change was approved.) Motor vehicle sales is not a permitted use in the B-3 District. It is a conditional use and as such a Conditional Use Permit would be required. Enclosed for your information are the criteria for approval of a Conditional Use Permit for motor vehicle sales. I will prepare a brief staff report to the Planning Commission for the July 9th meeting. The report will be completed during the previous week, and upon completion a copy will be mailed to you and the property owner. Your letter does not constitute a "written request related to zoning" under the meaning of Minnesota Statutes 15.99. For this reason, the Planning Commission may discuss but may not take any action on your request. For a request to be considered a "written request related to zoning", a complete application must be submitted including any required fees and attachments. Enclosed for your information are the application form and due date calendar. Feel free to call me at 763-531-1142 if you have any questions.
