DATE: September 3, 1999
TO: Planning Commission (September 13th meeting — Item #3)
FROM:;ohn Sutter, Planner
SUBJECT: Application 99-12.1: Rezoning
(from R-1 Single -Family Residential to 1-1 Warehouse and Light Industrial)
former house 5549 Zane Ave N (P.1.D. 04-118-21.-33-0029)
(from B-3 Auto -Oriented Commercial to 1-1 Warehouse and Light Industrial)
former K Wong's 5430 Lakeland Ave N (P.1.D. 04-118-21-34-0124)
(The effect of the requests would be rezoning of property consistent with
the previously approved rezoning and site plan for construction of a 92,200
sq. ft. mixed use light industrial building)
A. BACKGROUND
Industrial Equities is constructing a new 92,200 sq. ft. mixed use light industrial building
- on a Crystal Economic Development Authority redevelopment site. There are a total of
seven parcels on the site. Two were previously zoned 1-1 Light Industrial; three were
rezoned to 1-1 earlier this year, and two additional parcels were deemed necessary for
the project but were not rezoned at the same time as the others because they had not
yet been acquired by the EDA. Now that those parcels are owned by the EDA, and in
accordance with the previous Planning Commission and City Council actions which
recognized the necessity to rezone these two additional parcels upon acquisition, the
EDA is requesting rezoning to 1-1 Light Industrial.
Notice of the Public Hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 350 feet of
the subject properties, and has been published in accordance with State law.
The following informational items are attached:
❑ plat map showing the subject properties.
B. STAFF COMMENTS
The subject properties are part of the Industrial Equities site. The balance of the site
was previously zoned 1-1 Light Industrial, or was rezoned as such earlier this year
concurrent with site plan approval. At that time, it was noted that two additional parcels
would need to be rezoned at a later time once acquisition was completed. Since
acquisition of these parcels by the Economic Development Authority is now complete,
the Planning Commission needs to consider the rezoning of these two additional
parcels which is necessary for the previously approved project. The staff comments are
the same as before; i.e. that rezoning for light industrial use would be consistent with
the Mixed Use - County Road 81 land use area, and that the proposed screening and
buffering on the approved site plan will protect the abutting low density residential uses.
C. SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF FACT
The findings of fact would be the same as those in the previously approved rezoning,
as follows:
Crystal City Code (505.53 Subd. le) states, "The Planning Commission shall consider
possible adverse effects of the proposed [rezoning]." The following suggested findings
reflect the specific factors listed in this section:
❑ The rezoning is consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
❑ The geographic area involved is appropriate for the proposed use.
❑ The use is not expected to depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
❑ The project is compatible with the character of the surrounding area.
❑ The demonstrated need for such use is evident from the private developer's desire
to construct the facility at this location, and from the lack of similar facilities
elsewhere in the City of Crystal.
D. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of application 99-12.1, a request for the rezoning of 5549
Zane Avenue North (P.I.D. 04-118-21-33-0029) from R-1 Single Family Residential to I-
1 Light Industrial, together with rezoning of 5430 Lakeland Avenue North (P.I.D. 04-
118-21-34-0124) from B-3 Auto -Oriented Commercial to 1-1 Light Industrial.
The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation on the requests for City
Council consideration.
The City Council will consider first reading of the proposed Rezoning ordinance at its
September 21St meeting, and second reading at its October 5th meeting.

DATE: September 3, 1999
TO: Planning Commission (September 13th meeting — Item #f
FROM: John Sutter, Planner
SUBJECT: Application 99-13.1,2,3,8
Plat, Comp. Plan Amendment, Rezoning and Site Plan Reviiew
Applicant: LaNel Financial Group, Inc.
Owners: Crystal Partners L.P.; Crystal Economic Development Authority
75 -unit Assisted Living Facility proposed for 3000 Douglas Drive
A. BACKGROUND
LaNel Financial Group is proposing to construct a 75 -unit assisted living facility on
property located approximately at 3000 Douglas Drive. The project site includes the
houses at 2956 and 3006 Douglas Drive, together with the southerly portion of what is
commonly called the Nafstad property. The applicant is proposing to replat this
property collectively into a new plat, Heathers Subdivision. This new plat would
consists of Lot 1, Block 1 (the assisted living facility site) and Outlot A (which would be
conveyed to the City of Crystal).
Staff has determined that to complete this project, the site of the assisted living facility
(Lot 1, Block 1) would need to be rezoned from R-1 Single Family Residential to R-4
High Density Residential. Because the part of the assisted living site is presently
guided Low Density Residential in the Comprehensive Plan, it would also be necessary
to amend the plan to guide the site for High Density Residential. Finally, Site Plan
Review is required for construction of the proposed 75 -unit assisted living facility and
related site improvements.
An initial concept review discussion was held before the Planning Commission on May
10th. Notice of the September 13th public hearing was mailed to properties within 1,050
feet of the proposed plat on August 27th, and was published in the Sun Post on
September V. Also included in the mailed notice was notice of an informational
meeting for the neighborhood, which was held on September 2nd at Crystal City Hall.
The following informational items are attached:
❑ aerial photo showing approximate location of subject property;
_ ❑ existing Comp. Plan land use designations (in accordance with previously adopted
change recommended by Nafstad Task Force and Planning Commission);
❑ proposed Comp. Plan land use designations (if this request were to be approved);
❑ current zoning map showing proposed zoning change;
❑ narrative submitted by the applicant;
❑ staff comments regarding the plat, site plan, landscaping, etc.;
❑ 11" x 17" copies of the following:
- Land Title Survey
- Preliminary Plat
- Site Plan
- Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan
- Utility Plan; Sanitary Sewer, Watermain and Storm Sewer Plan;
- Landscape Plan;
- Building Floor Plans;
- Building Elevations;
- Artist's rendering of the facility when viewed from Douglas Drive.

Parcel 11:
(Certificate No. 526560)
Lots 1 and 2, Block 1; Lot 1, Block 2, McKee's Bel Aire Addition,
according to the plat thereof on file or of record in the office of the
Registrar of titles, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
Parcel 12:
Lot 2, Block 2, McKee's Bel Aire Addition, according to the recorded plat
there, and situate in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Being registered land

proposed to be located approximately at 3000 Douglas Drive North; and
❑ Outlot A: 9.24 acres to be used for open space purposes by the City of
Crystal.
It is important to note that portions of 30th Avenue and Colorado Avenue right-of-
way will need to be vacated for the plat to be recorded. The City Council will
hold the public hearing on the street vacation, and consider vacation resolutions,
at its meeting on September 21St (which is the same meeting when the
Preliminary and Final Plat will be considered).
Because the property is served by existing infrastructure, no public
improvements will be required as a condition of plat approval. However, the
City's Public Works Department may install a new, larger capacity storm sewer
line to replace an existing line which runs immediately south of the south line of
Lot 1, Block 1.

A park dedication fee of $400 will not be required, because of the large gift of
land to the City (9.24 acres out of a total of 14.16 acres).
The proposal complies with the requirements for plats in Crystal City Code. The
following easements will need to be added to the Final Plat prior to City Council
consideration on September 21 st:
❑ An easement for trail and sidewalk purposes over the westerly 7' of Lot 1,
Block 1 (abutting the existing right-of-way of Douglas Drive);
❑ A drainage and utility easement along the southerly 15' of Lot 1, Block 1
(abutting the existing Lamplighter apartments).
2. Comprehensive Plan Amendment
While the entire assisted living site was previously guided for high density
residential under the 1993 Comprehensive Plan, it was later amended so that
the area north of 30th Avenue would be guided for low-density residential. The
30th Avenue right-of-way passes through the southern half of the assisted living
site. As a result, the northern 3/4 of the assisted living site is currently guided for
Low Density Residential, and the southern % is guided for High Density
Residential.
Allowable densities are described as follows in the Comprehensive Plan:
❑ Low Density Residential: 5 or fewer units per gross acre
❑ Medium Density Residential: 5-12 units per gross acre
❑ High Density Residential: 12-22 units per gross acre
The density of the proposed assisted living facility would be as follows:
❑ 15.2 units per acre on Lot 1, Block 1 (75 units on 4.92 acres)
❑ 5.3 units per acre on Lot 1, Block plus Outlot A (75 units on 14.16 acres)
An argument could be made that the density should be calculated to include
Outlot A, since it is mostly undevelopable land and is part of the plat of Heathers
Subdivision. This would require guiding the entire plat for Medium Density
Residential, including the mostly undevelopable Outlot A. An argument could
also be made that the 14.16 acres could be considered a Planned Unit
Development, which with a density bonus could remain guided for Low Density
Residential and still allow the assisted living facility to be developed. Staff
believes that both of these approaches would be cumbersome and confusing to
the public, and may also create long term confusion regarding what the
Comprehensive Plan's land use designations are trying to accomplish in this
area. For these reasons, staff and the Planning Commission have suggested to
the applicant that they apply for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to guide Lot
1, Block 1, Heathers Subdivision for High Density Residential, while not changing
the existing designation of Outlot A (currently Parks / Open Space).
PLAT, COMP PLAN AMENDMENT, REZONING & SITE PLAN REVIEW - 75 -UNIT ASSISTED LIVING

The assisted living facility would make an excellent transition between the
existing higher density uses to the south and the low density residential and
parks and open space uses to the north. This is because an assisted living
facility typically generates less traffic and other negative impacts than a regular
apartment complex having the same number of units. In addition, the proposed
site layout concentrates the bulk of the building towards the southern part of the
site, leaving much of the northern part of the site (the area currently guided low
density) as open space.
The Comprehensive Plan states that "the City will entertain only limited
expansion of HR housing contiguous to established projects at maximum
densities of 22 units per gross acre." The assisted living site (Lot 1, Block 1)
would be contiguous to an established project (the Lamplighter apartments) and
would have a density of only 15.2 units per gross acre. Furthermore, the
presence of existing Metro Transit routes along Douglas Drive makes the project
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's desire for new high density housing to
be located in areas which can be serviced efficiently by public transit.
The Comprehensive Plan also states that a goal is "to locate senior citizens
housing in close proximity to support services and convenience retail areas." In
addition to the services that will be available on-site, there is a small shopping
center located approximately 800 feet from the proposed facility. Furthermore,
the presence of excellent public transit and the facility's private transportation for
residents will help to connect residents to necessary support services such as
medical care and retail shopping.
3. Rezoning
If the Comprehensive Plan land use designation were changed as described
above, then rezoning of the assisted living site (Lot 1, Block 1) from R-1 Single
Family Residential to R-4 High Density Residential would be a logical next step.
As with the Comprehensive Plan amendment, the rezoning would be an
extension of an existing R-4 zone, and would use an existing wetland area to
help create a logical border between R-4 zoning and the R-1 zoning to the north.
Furthermore, as with the Comprehensive Plan amendment, an assisted living
facility makes an excellent transition between more typical R-4 uses (regular
apartments) and the single family homes and open space to the north, because
its impacts are less significant especially with regards to traffic and noise. In
addition, the location, layout and design of the proposed building will minimize its
bulk when viewed from adjacent homes.
Multiple family housing is a permitted use in the R-4 District.
4. Site Plan Review
PLAT, COMP PLAN AMENDMENT, REZONING & SITE PLAN REVIEW - 75 -UNIT ASSISTED LIVING
6
(Note: Detailed staff comments regarding the plat, site plan, landscaping, etc.
are attached.)
a. Lot Area. The Zoning Ordinance requires 1,500 sq. ft. of lot area per
dwelling unit for elderly (senior citizen) housing. The proposed assisted
living facility (Lot 1, Block 1) would have 2,856 sq. ft. of lot area per unit.
b. Floor Area. The required floor area per unit is 440 sq. ft. efficiency, 520
sq. ft. one bedroom, and 720 sq. ft. two bedroom. The proposed floor
area per unit would be 500 sq. ft. efficiency, 645+ sq. ft. one bedroom,
and 1,003+ sq. ft. two bedroom.
C. Building Setbacks. The facility is subject to a minimum setback of 30'
from Douglas Drive and Brunswick Avenue, and 15' from the south and
north lot lines. The proposed (setbacks would be 1 10'from Douglas Drive,
245' from Brunswick Avenu� from the south lot line, and 84' at its
point of closest approach to the north lot line.
d. Building Height. Maximum height in the R-4 District is three stories. The
building will be two stories high when viewed from Douglas Drive, with up
to three stories visible from other directions as the grade drops to the
east. This does not include the underground garage which will only be
visible on the southeasterly end of the facility.
e. Exterior Materials, Walls and Rooflines. The building elevations show a
combination of brick and horizontal vinyl siding, with concrete block visible
adjacent to the underground garage on the southeasterly side of the
facility. The walls have many bays and screen porches to help minimize
the massing of the building when viewed from adjacent properties. The
sloping roof is broken up with several hips and other details to help it
blend in with the single family houses to the west and north. In general,
the combination of wall and roof features gives the building an old
fashioned look and softens the appearance of the facility.
f. Utilities. All utilities on the site would be underground. Existing public
water and sanitary sewer lines would serve the facility. The presence
(and possible upgrade) of a public storm sewer line along the south lot
line will require the dedication of a 15' drainage and utility easement to the
City.
g. Landscaping and Signs. Buffering and screening is required between the
facility and adjacent R-1 uses to the west and north. Of particular concern
is the view from the house at 3022 Douglas Drive. The front parking lot
will be very well buffered and screened from this house with a berm and
evergreens, but the berm cannot be extended eastward due to
topographic conditions. While staff believes that the proposed lines of
PLAT, COMP PLAN AMENDMENT, REZONING & SITE PLAN REVIEW - 75 -UNIT ASSISTED LIVING
7
Black Hills Spruce and Spring Snow Crab trees will adequately buffer the
house from the building, we have asked the developer to draw a cross
section showing the lines of sight between 3022 Douglas Drive and the
proposed building, with the two rows of trees in between. The Planning
Commission should consider the concerns of the residents of 3022
Douglas Drive when evaluating whether the buffering and screening are
adequate. The landscaping plan also shows berming and a significant
amount of tree planting between the front parking lot and Douglas Drive;
this is consistent with the City's desire to improve the aesthetics of the
City's major street corridors.
The proposed monument sign would be required to be at least 10' from
the Douglas Drive property line, and would not exceed 32 sq. ft. in area.
h. Parking and Access. The site plan shows 56 stalls provided plus 20
future stalls as "proof of parking". The Zoning Ordinance requires one
stall per dwelling unit for elderly housing, or a total of 75 stalls required for
this facility. Alternately, the requirement for nursing homes would yield a
requirement of 22 stalls for this facility. Although this facility would be
more like elderly housing than a nursing home, it is likely that fewer of its
residents will own and operate vehicles than those living in regular senior
citizen housing. For this reason, staff believes the 56 stalls plus 20
additional stalls as "proof of parking" is sufficient, provided a condition is
imposed that would require the additional stalls to be added if, after
development, the City determines that the additional parking is needed.
The property's access will be on Douglas Drive, which is a County State
Aid Highway. Hennepin County will require that the southerly entrance be
narrowed to no more than 20' wide and be signed for ingress only.
Hennepin County is also requiring that a 7' wide easement for sidewalk
and trail purposes be granted along the west side of Lot 1, Block 1
(adjacent to Douglas Drive) to facilitate installing a wider sidewalk / trail /
boulevard or (less likely) widening the existing roadway.
City staff suggests that the developer install a sidewalk connection
between the facility and Brunswick Avenue to the east, to facilitate access
to Bassett Creek Park for residents of the facility. (The Planning
Commission and City Council should consider whether they want to make
this suggestion a condition of site plan approval.)
Lighting. The City requires that no lighting exceed 0.4 foot candles at an
adjacent residential property line. The lighting plan submitted with the
application shows no lighting in excess of .25 foot candles, except at the
south lot line where lighting in excess of the maximum will fall onto the
Lamplighter apartments garages and parking lot. Because this is a
PLAT, COMP PLAN AMENDMENT, REZONING & SITE PLAN REVIEW - 75 -UNIT ASSISTED LIVING
8
significant distance from any habitable areas of the Lamplighter site, staff
has no objection to the proposed lighting.
C. SUGGESTED FINDINGS OF FACT
Preliminary Plat
The proposed plat is consistent with the requirements of Crystal City Code. It
will also provide an opportunity for construction of new housing of a type which is
consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and redevelopment goals.
Furthermore, it will also result in the dedication of 9.24 acres of mostly
undevelopable land to the City of Crystal, which can use it for public park and
open space purposes.
2. Comprehensive Plan Amendment
The proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan because it would allow development of an assisted living
facility which would exhibit the following combination of characteristics: (1) it
provides a housing type that is needed but does not currently exist in Crystal; (2)
it provides a desirable transition between existing higher density uses to the
south and the low density residential and parks and open space uses to the
north; (3) it is contiguous with an existing 136 -unit apartment complex which is
r
guided and zoned for high density residential; (4) a portion of the site is already
guided for high density residential; (5) it is presently served by fixed route public
transit; and (6) it is located a short walking distance (800 feet) from existing retail
businesses.
3. Rezoning
If the assisted living site (Lot 1, Block 1) were guided for high density residential,
the proposed rezoning would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The
proposed facility would be consistent with R-4 zoning, because (1) it is an R-4
permitted use, and (2) it meets the district's lot, area and setback requirements.
4. Site Plan Review
The proposed facility is consistent with the requirements of Crystal City Code.
D. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Application 99-13.1,2,3,8, submitted by LaNel Financial
Group, Inc. (applicant), and Crystal Partners L.P. and City of Crystal Economic
Development Authority (owners), for the following:
PLAT, COMP PLAN AMENDMENT, REZONING & SITE PLAN REVIEW - 75 -UNIT ASSISTED LIVING
9
❑ Preliminary Plat for Heathers Subdivision, which would create the following new
parcels:
Lot 1, Block 1: 4.92 acres to be used as a site for an assisted living facility
proposed to be located approximately at 3000 Douglas Drive North; and
Outlot A: 9.24 acres to be used for open space purposes by the City of Crystal.
❑ Comprehensive Plan Amendment, to change the designation of Lot 1, Block 1
located approximately at 3000 Douglas Drive North, from Low Density Residential
to High Density Residential.
❑ Rezoning, to change the zoning of Lot 1, Block 1 located approximately at 3000
Douglas Drive North, from R-1 Single Family Residential to R-4 High Density
Residential.
❑ Site Plan Review, for construction of a 75 unit assisted living facility together with
related parking, landscaping and other site improvements, on Lot 1, Block 1 located
approximately at 3000 Douglas Drive North.
This recommendation includes the following conditions:
❑ The Final Plat shall include a drainage and utility easement along the southerly 15'
of Lot 1, Block 1, Heathers Subdivision.
❑ The Final Plat shall include an easement for sidewalk and trail purposes along the
westerly 7' of Lot 1, Block 1, Heathers Subdivision (adjacent to Douglas Drive).
❑ In the event that City staff determines that parking demand exceeds the parking
provided on the site, the developer shall install additional spaces as determined to
be necessary by staff. Developer shall install said parking as soon as is practicable,
but in no event more than 9 months after the City provides notice of the need for
additional parking.
❑ No building permit shall be issued until the applicant executes the required Site
Improvement Agreement.
Staff recommends that the findings of fact be those described in Section C above.
The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation on the request for City
Council consideration.
The City Council will consider the Preliminary and Final Plat, Comprehensive Plan
Amendment, and first reading of the Rezoning ordinance at its September 21St meeting.
It will consider second reading of the Rezoning ordinance and Site Plan Review at its
October 5th meeting.

LANEL SENIOR HOUSING CAMPUS
ASSISTED LIVING
LaNel Financial Group, Inc. is proposing a continuum of care campus featuring an
independent living facility, The Heathers of Crystal Apartments and a to -be -built 75 -unit
assisted living facility (located on the parcel to be rezoned, "Subject Property.")
The 136 -unit existing facility will be renovated to provide adult senior apartment rentals for
individuals and couples 55 and older.
On the subject property to the North of the existing apartment a two-story and three-story 75 -
unit building with underground parking will be constructed. This assisted living community
will front on Douglas Drive.
The assisted living community will have common areas and services such as a full dining
room, guest room, beauty shop, library, card room, exercise area, chapel, lobby and sitting
areas, outside front porch, offices and mail room. The project will feature grounds with
walking paths, a secured courtyard and access from the adjacent Heathers Apartments.
STAFF COMMENTS ON PLANS SUBMITTED BY LANEL FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
SITE' PLAN
1. Distance for sign shown is 13' from curb line. Minimum sign setback is 10' from property line.
2. Hennepin County wants southerly access from Douglas Drive to be narrowed to around 20' and signed for
ingress only (two "Do Not Enter" signs to be faced inward from said access).
3. We would like to see some sort of pedestrian connection between the facility and Brunswick Avenue, for
the purpose of providing pedestrian access for facility residents to Bassett Creek Park. One way to do this
would be to put a sidewalk along the south side of the facility, extending from the doorway facing the
Lamplighter apartment building eastward to Brunswick Avenue. Another way would be to install a
sidewalk from the driveway along the east side of the facility eastward to Brunswick Avenue.
4. The property line is shown incorrectly as being in the same location as the curb. Property line is adjacent to
east edge of existing sidewalk (see ALTA/ACSM survey).
PRELIMINARY PLAT
1. Hennepin County will require an easement for trail and sidewalk purposes over the westerly T of Lot 1,
Block 1 (abutting the existing right-of-way of Douglas Drive).
2. The City will require a drainage and utility easement along the southerly 15' of Lot 1, Block 1 (abutting the
existing Lamplighter apartments).
GRADING, DRAINAGE AND EROSION CONTROL PLAN
1. City engineering staff requests that the NURP pond slopes not exceed 1:3, and that the pond bottoms be
sealed so that they hold some water.
2. The sidewalk location shown in front of the building is not correct. The sidewalk is actually located within
the Douglas Drive right-of-way.
UTILITY PLAN; SANITARY SEWER, WATERMAIN AND STORM SEWER PLAN
STAFF COMMENTS ON PLANS SUBMITTED BY LANEL FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
1. City has concerns about stagnant water in the long dead-end water line running to the hydrants on the north
and east sides of the building. Also, any existing water service lines (those serving the existing houses at
2956 and 3006 Douglas) shall be abandoned at the main by capping the corp (talk to John Hill, Utilities
Superintendent, at 531-1166).
2. The sidewalk location shown in front of the building is not correct. The sidewalk is actually located within
the Douglas Drive right-of-way.
LANDSCAPE PLAN
1. The house at 3022 Douglas is very well screened from the parking lot and the north side of the building, due
to the proposed berm. However, the line of sight from the house to the facility east of the berm is a concern.
This could be addressed through planting more mature (taller) evergreens along the rear of the retaining wall
located east of the berm. Staff believes that this is a significant concern for the residents on 3022 Douglas.
We also believe it will figure prominently in the Planning Commission discussion on September 131n
2. Some of the deciduous trees appear to encroach on the lighting fixtures. Verify that there is sufficient
height differential to allow the placement of the trees and light fixtures in close proximity.
3. Staff requests that the line of Green Ash and Techny Arborvitae be continued eastward along the rear
(north) side of the Lamplighter apartments garages. Staff also requests that, in accordance with
neighborhood wishes, the developer explore landscaping options to better screen the Lamplighter
apartments complex, especially the garages, along Douglas Drive and Brunswick Avenue. While these
items are not required under this review (since they are not necessary to screen the proposed facility), we
recommend that the developer work with the neighbors to address these issues.
4. The property line is shown incorrectly as being in the same location as the curb. Property line is adjacent to
east edge of existing sidewalk (see ALTA/ACSM survey).
FLOOR PLAN AND BUILDING ELEVATIONS
— 1. In each unit there seems to be a small (3'x 3') closet -like space, usually located in the bedroom but
occasionally in the living room, with a small opening in the exterior wall. What are these spaces, and what
are the small openings in the exterior walls? Are they the "Magic Pack - AC Unit" indicated by note #12 on
the building elevations?

Vacation of platted drainage and utility easement at 5607 West Broadway
DEPARTMENT HEAD REVIEW: Anne Norris, Community Development Director oAu
As part of the proposed Walgreens store on the site of the Palace Inn and former Boston
Market, it will be necessary to combine these two parcels. In the process of surveying these
parcels, the developer has noted that there is a platted drainage and utility easement along
the west side of the Palace Inn parcel (5607 West Broadway; P.I.D. 05-118-21-42-0071).
Because the proposed building would cover the easement, the City will need to vacate the
easement for the building project to proceed.
