3. PUBLIC HEARING
a. Subdivision request for approval of a Common Interest Community (CIC) plat at 6613
– 36th Avenue North (Application Number 2023-08)
Chair Selton opened the public hearing.
Planner Olson presented a summary of the staff report and stated he is recommending
approval of the CIC plat request.
City attorney Gilchrist summarized the memorandum that is attached to the staff report.
Commission members asked various questions of Mr. Gilchrist about the CIC plat
structure, including who owns and maintains the common elements of the CIC, and how
property taxes are paid.
Unapproved Planning Commission Minutes – November 13, 2023
Commission member Strand asked the applicant, Mr. Abumayyaleh, why he is asking
for the CIC plat approval. Mr. Abumayyaleh said his main reason is to be able to sell
each unit to an owner occupant.
A resident stated that the building is comprised of two single-family attached dwellings,
and that dwelling type is not allowed in the R-1 district. Furthermore this CIC plat is
subject to the city’s subdivision regulations since state statutes relating to CICs do not
invalidate local city ordinances. Finally, the resident stated that since the CIC plat
creates separate property identification numbers (PID) for each unit, a new parcel is
created for each unit when the County assigns new PIDs.
Mr. Gilchrist said the building does not meet the definition of a one-family attached
dwelling because each unit is not located on its own parcel, as described in the
definition section of the UDC. The building is defined in the UDC as a two-family
dwelling which is a permitted use in the R-1 district. If the CIC plat involved a division of
land this application would be required to comply with such subdivision regulations as
lot area and lot width. However since this CIC plat only involves a division of ownership,
the UDC does not have regulations for that type of subdivision application. As an
administrative tool for calculating property taxes, the County will assign a PID to each
unit, but the assigning of a PID does not create new parcels.
Commission member Maristany asked what the differences are between a two-family
dwelling and a one-family attached dwelling. Planner Olson explained the differences
between the two, and gave an example of a development reviewed by the Planning
Commission earlier this year that consisted of one-family attached dwellings.
Commission member Maristany asked if the two units could be rented out. Mr. Gilchrist
said if the association allows it, the unit owner would just need to abide by the city’s
rental regulations.
Seeing no one else who wished to speak, Chair Selton closed the hearing.
Moved by Buck and seconded by Sears to recommend approval to the City Council of
the CIC plat application at 6613 – 36th Avenue N.
Ayes: Buck, Sears, Johnson, and Selton. Nays: Maristany, Strand, Heigel, and Scholz.
With a tie vote, the application is forwarded to the City Council without a
recommendation.
4. OLD BUSINESS - None
5. NEW BUSINESS - None
6. GENERAL INFORMATION

• Staff preview of likely agenda items for Monday, December 11, 2023 meeting.
Planner Olson said he has not received any applications yet, but the application
deadline date is not until tomorrow.
7. OPEN FORUM
Commission member Johnson asked about a recent news article saying that the
projected ridership for the Blue Line LRT Extension was less than previous projections.
Mr. Sutter said the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) changed the methodology
across the country for making those projections. Now all estimates across the country
are different than the last projections made before the pandemic. Previous pre-
construction projections made for other LRT lines in the Twin Cities were often
exceeded by post-construction ridership totals.

RE: PUBLIC HEARING - Variance request from Efrain Cardenas to the required
front setback to allow home additions at 6124 Lakeland Avenue North
(Application Number 2024-01)
A. BACKGROUND
Efrain Cardenas, who owns the home at 6124 Lakeland Avenue North, has applied for a
variance to reduce the minimum front setback to allow additions to the front of the
home. The property is zoned Low Density Residential (R-1).
Notice of the February 12 public hearing was published in the Sun Post on February 1
and mailed to property owners and renters within 500 feet (see attachment A), and
posted to all neighborhoods on Nextdoor. A sign was also posted on the property. Since
the notification area included properties in Brooklyn Park, a notice was also sent to the
City of Brooklyn Park.
Attachments:
A. Site location map showing public hearing notification area.
B. Existing zoning map.
C. Project narrative submitted by applicant.
D. Current property photos.
E. Property survey showing proposed additions.
F. Home addition plans.
G. Powerpoint presentation.
PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
Variance for 6124 Lakeland Avenue North
6124 LAKELAND AVENUE NORTH – VARIANCE APPLICATION
PAGE 2 OF 4
B. VARIANCE REQUEST
Property history
The existing residential home at 6124 Lakeland, which is located on a 27,450 sq. ft. lot
(0.6 acres), was constructed in 1936. A portion of the home does not currently meet the
minimum required front setback of 30’ because additional right-of-way was taken by
Hennepin County in 2012 in County Road 81 (Bottineau Boulevard) and it’s frontage
road, Lakeland Avenue. This is an existing condition and the home is defined as a
legally nonconforming structure since the home existed prior to the city’s first zoning
ordinance was adopted in 1939.
The applicant began construction of a garage addition, with living space above, in 2023,
and is proposing to construct a rear deck in 2024. Both of these construction projects
meet building setbacks.
Proposed variances
The applicant is now proposing to construct three additions to the front of the home and
is requesting the following variances:
Front addition. If the variance is approved, the closest part of the addition will be 25’
from the front property line rather than the required 30’. The additional living space
includes an expanded living room on the main floor and an expanded bedroom on the
upper floor. The requested variance is for the following building elements:
▪ Convert porch to living space. The porch is approximately 27’ from the front
property line. This porch will be converted to living space and second story living
space will be added above this porch.
➢ Requested variance: The variance for the porch conversion reduces
the required setback from 30’ to 27’.
▪ Upper story cantilever. The existing upper story is approximately 29’ from the
front property line. The applicant is proposing to add an approximately 2’ wide
cantilever to expand the upper story of the home and this cantilever will be 28’
from the front property line.
➢ Requested variance: The variance for the upper story cantilever
reduces the required setback from 30’ to 28’.
▪ Entryway addition. A small uncovered entryway addition will be added in front
of the existing porch that will be 25’ from the front property line.
➢ Requested variance: The variance for the entryway addition reduces
the required setback from 30’ to 25’.

PAGE 3 OF 4
C. RECOMMENDED FINDINGS
The following are the relevant approval criteria for these variances as outlined in city
code section 510.33, followed by staff response:
a) Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general
purposes and intent of the official control and when the terms of the variances
are consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Response: The intent of the city’s zoning ordinance is to provide for
regulations to promote orderly development that allows for adequate
access to light, air, and convenient access to property. The approval of a
variance to reduce the front building setback will not impede access to
adequate light or air for adjacent properties or for the existing home.
If the variance is approved, the single-family home will continue to be in
conformance to the Comprehensive Plan’s Low Density Residential future
land use designation.
b) Variances shall only be permitted when the City Council finds that strict
enforcement of specific provisions of this section would create practical
difficulties due to circumstances unique to a particular property under
consideration. Practical difficulties, as used in connection with the granting of a
variance, means that the property owner:
1) proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted
by an official control; and
2) the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the
property not created by the landowner; and
3) the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the
locality.
Response:
The use of the subject property for a single-family home with a front
building addition is a reasonable use for the property. The approval of the
variance means that the city recognizes the reality that the home was
allowed by the city in 1936, prior to the creation of zoning requirements
such as setbacks. Furthermore, the proposed additions would easily
comply if additional right-of-way had not been taken by Hennepin County in
2012. Since the additions only reduce the minimum setback by a maximum
of 5’, the essential character of the surrounding area will not change if the
variance is approved.

PAGE 4 OF 4
c) Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties.
Response: The applicant has expressed that the reason for the variance
is to create additional living space for the home. Therefore economic
considerations alone are not the sole reason for requesting this variance.
C. REQUESTED ACTION
The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation to the City Council to
either deny or approve the variance application from Efrain Cardenas at 6124 Lakeland
Avenue North to modify the requirements for the minimum front setback as follows:
▪ Requested variance: The variance for the porch conversion reduces the
required setback from 30’ to 27’.
▪ Requested variance: The variance for the upper story cantilever reduces the
required setback from 30’ to 28’.
▪ Requested variance: The variance for the entryway addition reduces the
required setback from 30’ to 25’.
This recommendation should include findings of fact either for or against the proposal.
The Commission may reference the findings for approval in Section B, above. Staff
recommends approval of the variance request with the conditions below:
1. Compliance. The variances are subject to the applicable requirements of the Crystal
City Code. The applicant is required to comply with all applicable federal, state, and
local laws, rules, regulations and ordinances and is required to obtain such other
permits and permissions as may be required.
2. No Waiver. Failure by the city to take action with respect to any violation of any
condition, covenant or term of the variance shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
such condition, covenant, or term or any subsequent violation of the same or any
other condition, covenant, or term.
3. Binding Effect. This variance, and the conditions placed on its approval, are binding
on the applicant, the applicant’s successors and assigns, shall run with the property,
and shall not in any way be affected by the subsequent sale, lease, or other change
from current ownership. The obligations of the applicant under this approval shall
also be the obligations of the current and any subsequent owners of the property.
4. Acceptance of Conditions. Utilization of the property for any of the uses allowed by
this variance shall automatically be deemed acceptance of, and agreement to, its
terms and conditions without qualification, reservation, or exception.
City Council action is anticipated on February 20, 2024.

•Property owner Efrain Cardenas is seeking variances so he
can expand the living space of his single-family home built
in 1936.
➢The additional living space includes an expanded living
room on the main floor and an expanded bedroom on
the upper floor.
•Requested variances to front building setback of 30’ are:
▪Reduce setback to 27’ to convert existing porch to a 2-
story living space
▪Reduce setback to 28’ for a second story cantilever
▪Reduce setback to 25’ for a front entryway

•A single-family home with a front building addition is a
reasonable use of property
•In harmony with intent of zoning regulations:
➢Does not conflict with the need for adequate light, air,
and access for adjacent properties
•Variance will not alter character of the neighborhood
➢Since the additions only reduce the minimum setback
by a maximum of 5’, the essential character of the
surrounding area will not change if the variance is
approved.
Recommended Findings
•Unique circumstances:
➢The home was allowed in 1936, prior to the creation
of zoning requirements such as setbacks in 1939. Also,
the proposed additions would meet current setbacks
if Hennepin County had not taken additional right-of-
way in 2012.
•Economic considerations alone are not sole reason for
variance:
➢The applicant has expressed that the reason for the
variance is to create additional living space for the
home.
Recommended Findings (continued)
•Staff recommends approval of the variance request with
the conditions in the staff report
•Next steps:
➢City Council will consider Planning Commission
recommendation on February 20

RE: Discuss possible UDC amendments related to cannabis requirements
At the February 12, 2024 Planning Commission meeting, staff will present the outcome
of the February 6th City Council work session of potential UDC amendments reflecting
the city’s requirements for cannabis products.

PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
Possible Cannabis Related Amendments
Page 1 of 2
___________________________________________________________________________
FROM: John Sutter, Community Development Director
DATE: January 31, 2024
TO: Adam R. Bell City Manager (for February 6 work session)
SUBJECT: Moving cannabis buffer distances from licensing code to Unified
Development Code (zoning) and potential changes to the buffer distances
In 2023 the City Council adopted a THC edibles licensing ordinance which included the
following buffer distances, measured from property line to property line (not door to door):
•1,000 feet from any school
•500 feet from any park or drug/alcohol treatment facility
The attached current map illustrates these buffer distances.
As the city prepares for the state’s eventual licensing of full cannabis shops in addition to THC
edibles, staff requests Council discussion of the following potential changes:
A.Move the buffer requirements from licensing to the UDC
The main reason to adopt the buffer distances into the UDC (Unified Development Code
a.k.a. the zoning ordinance) is that there are nonconforming use rights associated with
zoning regulations.
If a use is lawfully established but the code or other conditions subsequently change to
make that use nonconforming, the use may continue (but not expand). Nonconforming
use rights only expire if the use has been discontinued for a year. This is important for
buffer regulations because the buffers are based on the use of other properties.
For example, a cannabis business may be lawfully established but subsequently a
drug/alcohol treatment facility could open up within 500 feet. At that point the cannabis
business would no longer conform to the buffering requirement but could continue to
operate as a nonconforming use.
If the buffer distances remain in the licensing code the Council could be faced with
denial of a license renewal for an otherwise lawful existing business.
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Cannabis Buffer Distances
Attachment A
Page 2 of 2
B.Consider adopting less restrictive buffers
In 2023, the Council adopted the most restrictive buffers allowed by state law except
that it did not include a 500-foot buffer around daycares.
Staff prepared three versions of the map reflecting potential changes that would lessen
the buffer requirements:
1.Alternate 1 would exclude Robbinsdale Learning Center at 305 Willow Bend (in
the Crystal Shopping Center) as a school but make no other changes. While RLC
does have some family-oriented programming it is not primarily a facility for those
under age 21 and the code could be written in a way that would exclude it as a
“school.”
2.Alternate 2 would reduce the school buffer to 500 feet to match the other buffers
but not make any other changes.
3.Map Alternate 3 would exclude Robbinsdale Learning Center as a school AND
would reduce the buffer for the remaining school properties to 500 feet to match
the other buffers.
The alternate maps are attached.
C.Consider applying cannabis buffer distances to off-sale alcohol and tobacco
If the buffers are moved to the UDC, the Council could consider making off-sale alcohol
and tobacco businesses subject to the same buffers. Due to nonconforming use rights,
any existing off-sale or tobacco business that would not be in compliance with the
buffers could continue (but not expand). The nonconforming use rights would only
expire if the off-sale or tobacco business ceased operation for one year.
COUNCIL DISCUSSION REQUESTED
Staff requests Council discussion and direction regarding A, B, and C above.
If the Council desires to move the buffer distances into the UDC, the next step would be to set
a Planning Commission public hearing on a UDC text amendment. For example, the next
available Planning Commission meeting is March 11 which would be followed by Council first
reading on March 19, second reading and adoption on April 2, publication on April 11, and an
effective date of May 11.

TO: Planning Commission (for February 12 Meeting)
DATE: February 7, 2024
RE: Election of Officers
The Planning Commission has three officer positions, elected by the members of the
commission:
• Chairperson. Currently Joe Selton (since January 14, 2019)
• Vice Chairperson. Currently Joe Sears (since March 8, 2021)
• Second Vice Chairperson. Currently James Einfeldt-Brown (since March 14, 2022)
The duties of each officer position are described in the attached bylaws. Planning Commission
action on each office is requested using the following procedure:
• The meeting chair asks for a motion and second for any nominations for the office.
Before the second, the chair should ask the person nominated if they accept the
position.
• If there is only one nomination, the commission would fill the office by voice vote.
• If there are two or more nominations, each commission member would vote for one
of the nominated members using paper ballots tabulated by the recording secretary.
The candidate receiving the most votes is elected to the position. In the event of a
tie, a coin toss is used as a tie-breaker.

PLANNING COMMISSION BY-LAWS
ARTICLE I. MISSION STATEMENT
The role of the Crystal Planning Commission is to serve the City Council and citizens of Crystal by
formulating recommendations in land use matters and by devoting the time necessary to listen to fact, to
consider public input and to render decisions in an objective manner. To be successful in this role,
Planning Commissioners acknowledge and honor these values:
Open-mindedness: Decisions are made free from prejudice or bias; Commissioners are receptive of
new ideas and to reason.
Respect: Commissioners listen to and show respect for the opinions and positions of fellow
Commissioners as well as those who come before the Commission.
Equal treatment: Everyone appearing before the Commission has the same privileges, status and
rights.
Attack the problem, not the person: Personal attacks are not tolerated, but honest and informed
debate is encouraged.
Offer and accept constructive criticism: Constructive comments are to be encouraged and welcomed;
unfavorable judgments that find fault and fix responsibility are not.

above parochial interests.
Shared responsibility: The Commission as a whole bears the responsibility for decisions and
recommendations that are made.
