Nays: None. Motion carried. 3. PUBLIC HEARING - None 4. OLD BUSINESS a. Continue discussion of proposed amendments to the Unified Development Code (UDC). Planner Olson gave a presentation on the proposed UDC amendments, including the remaining four policy issues. The following are the Commission’s recommendations. • For the proposed Neighborhood Commercial (NC) district, Commission recommends also requiring hours of operation for non-residential uses in the R-1 and R-2 districts. The exception may be religious institutions which might be required by law to have a different standard. Staff might also define what hours of operation means. Unapproved Planning Commission Minutes – April 14, 2025 • For the issue of reducing lot width and area to create more opportunities for two- family dwellings, the Commission recommends reducing the area to 9,000 sq. ft. for both the R-1 and R-2 districts but leaving lot width at 80’ for those two districts. • For the issue of auto-dependent uses, the Commission recommends allowing vehicle fuel stations to remain an allowed use. • For the issue of modifying parking, the Commission agrees that there is too much minimum parking required but would like staff to make specific recommendations of which uses could have reduced parking. One member said that they liked Fridley’s requirement for multiple family dwellings being based on the number of bedrooms. The Commission was split on whether to delete the requirement for a covered space for one and two-family dwellings, with some members thinking that eliminating a garage would cause issues with outdoor storage of various items. • Hours of operation for weekend seasonal agricultural sales should extend to 9 p.m. instead of 7 p.m. • Screening to reduce parking lot setbacks should be 6.5 feet in height and be opaque. 5. NEW BUSINESS - None 6. GENERAL INFORMATION • City Council actions on previous Planning Commission items: None. • Development and construction update: Mr. Sutter spoke about the impending applications for approval of two multiple-family developments on 56th Avenue N. The DAISO store opened in the Town Center shopping center. The rental twin homes just east of 36th and Douglas Drive N are almost complete. • Update from Council Liaison: Council liaison Eidbo was not present at the meeting. • Staff preview of likely agenda items for Monday, May 12, 2025 meeting. Planner Olson said he is expecting a rezoning application for a proposed development. The public hearing for the UDC amendments may also be held. 7. OPEN FORUM 8. ADJOURNMENT Moved by Sears and seconded by Buck to adjourn. Ayes: All. Nays: None Motion carried.

INTRODUCTION Woda Cooper Companies is proposing to purchase the property at 6000 – 56th Avenue N., demolish the existing office building, and then construct a new 4-story, 44-unit apartment building on the property. The property is currently zoned Commercial (C), but the applicant is proposing to rezone the property to Town Center – Planned Development (TC-PD). Apartment buildings are a permitted use in that zoning district. Notice of the May 12 public hearing was published in the Sun Post on May 1, mailed to owners, renters, and commercial tenants within 500 feet (attachment A) and posted to all neighborhoods on Nextdoor. A sign was also posted on the property. Staff Report Attachments: A. Site location and public hearing notice mailing map B. Current zoning map C. 2040 Comprehensive Plan planned land use map D. Applicant’s project narrative E. Current property photos F. Parking study G. Site visit to apartment developments in parking study H. Email from March 18, 2025 to Woda Cooper I. Shadow effects study J. Powerpoint K. Site plan (28 sheets) PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Proposed Apartment Building 6000 – 56th AVENUE NORTH – REZONING TO TOWN CENTER - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 2 OF 8 B. BACKGROUND Neighborhood open house The applicant held a neighborhood open house on March 31, 2025, which was attended by seven tenants in the existing office building, the mayor, two City Council members, two Planning Commission members, the city planner, and the community development director. No residents in the notice area attended the meeting. The purpose of the open house was to provide information on the proposed project to property owners near the facility. Attendees asked questions about the timing of the construction. Existing Use The 1-acre (43,714 sq. ft) property contains an existing office building, constructed in 1981, and a parking lot. Adjacent uses The following are the existing land uses and zoning districts surrounding this property: • North. Vehicle sales (zoned Commercial), single-family homes zoned R-1 • East. Single-family homes zoned R-1 • West. Vacant property owned by Hennepin County • South. Across 56th Ave. N, apartment buildings zoned High Density Residential (R-3) Conformance to Comprehensive Plan According to the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the property is designed as mixed use on the planned land use map (attachment C), which is described as a vertical or side-by-side mixture of multiple family residential, institutional, commercial and industrial uses. The proposed density for this apartment building is 25 units per gross acre based on a gross acreage of approximately 76,640 sq. ft. This density is within the required density range of 16-64 units for the TC-PD district. C. PROPOSED APARTMENT BUILDING The applicant is proposing to construct a four-story, 44-unit apartment building on the property to be known as “Lotus Pointe”. The building will contain a mixture of 1, 2, 3, and 4 bedroom units, with parking provided in a basement garage and the rest in a surface parking lot north of the building. A fitness room and administrative offices will be located on the first floor, “multi-rooms” (typically playrooms, library or study rooms) on the second through fourth floors, and a rooftop deck on the fourth floor. The building will continue to be addressed as 6000 – 56th Ave. N. Site Plan Elements The following are the notable site plan elements for the proposed building: 6000 – 56th AVENUE NORTH – REZONING TO TOWN CENTER - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 3 OF 8 • Building setbacks and frontages. Except for the corner side setback (see section D, below), the proposed building meets setback requirements in the proposed TC- PD district: ▪ Front (south) property line: 10’ (the maximum requirement is 10’) ▪ Corner (east) side property line: 50’ (maximum requirement is 12’) – See section D. ▪ Rear (north) property line: 58’ (minimum requirement is 5’) ▪ Interior (west) side property line: 60’ (minimum requirement is 0’) As allowed in the TC-PD district, the applicant is requesting flexibility to the city’s requirement that the primary building frontage facing 56th Avenue N. occupy a minimum percentage of that street frontage (see section D). • Building height. The apartment building will be approximately 43’ (four stories) in height, with an elevator tower at a height of 52’. Due to its proximity to the Crystal Airport, the applicant has notified the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the proposed building construction. The building itself meets airport height requirements, but the FAA will require approval of the construction crane that will be needed. Staff recommends a condition of rezoning approval that the FAA give final approval prior to building permit issuance. The applicant has completed a shadow study (attachment I) that provides a visual graphic showing the shadow of the proposed building upon the residential neighborhoods to the north and east. The study shows the shadow effect on two different dates – June 21 and December 21. June 21. The study measures impacts at 9 and 10:30 AM, Noon, and 1:30 and 3 PM. ➢ There are no impacts to the residential neighborhoods to the north and east at any of these times. December 21. The study measures impacts at 9 and 10:30 AM, and Noon, 1:30 and 3 PM. ➢ At 9 AM, shadows shade one home on Brunswick Ave. N. but by 10:30 this shadow is well removed from that property, and do not impact any other homes until 3. ➢ At 3 PM, shadows shade one home on Adair Ave. N. Typically sundown occurs by 5 PM on that date. ➢ As spring arrives, the shadows are reduced so that they essentially stay within the limits of the property. • Parking. The applicant is providing 71 spaces (not the 72 spaces noted in the parking study in attachment F), which does not meet the city’s minimum number of 88 spaces. The underground garage will have 42 spaces and the surface parking lot will have 29. The parking space and drive aisle dimensions meet UDC requirements. The applicant is requesting flexibility for two requirements relating to site parking (see section D): 6000 – 56th AVENUE NORTH – REZONING TO TOWN CENTER - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 4 OF 8 ▪ Reduce number of parking spaces from 88 to 71. ▪ Reduce the setback to the property line for the surface parking lot. • Stormwater management and erosion control measures. The applicant has submitted a stormwater management plan, which provides for a storage tank under the proposed surface parking lot. Review and approval by the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission is required. The percentage of impervious surface on the property will decrease from 76% to 74% (the maximum coverage is 90% for the TC-PD district). During building construction the city will require erosion control techniques to be used on-site including silt fences, inlet protection, and rock construction entrances. • Utilities. The proposed building will connect with existing water and sanitary sewer mains. There are no existing overhead utilities on the property. New private utility services to the proposed building, such as Xcel Energy, Lumen (formerly Century Link) and Comcast, will be buried underground. The proposed building will not be located in a drainage or utility easement. A front entrance stoop (ADA compliant walkway) along 56th Avenue N will encroach into a drainage and utility easement but will not be attached to the building or constructed on footings. This encroachment is acceptable to Public Works staff. • Access and circulation. The city’s Public Works department has reviewed the traffic circulation plan for standard sized vehicles and found it adequate to meet vehicle movement into and within the site. Although the drive aisle for the parking lot meets UDC width requirements, the West Metro Fire Rescue District staff has concerns that the width of the drive aisle will not be able to accommodate fire trucks. Staff recommends as a condition of rezoning approval that the applicant provide a fire truck turning radius plan prior to the May 20, 2025 City Council meeting. There is an existing street cul-de-sac easement on the southwest part of the property. This easement was dedicated to the city in 1989 but the cul-de-sac was never built. Since a cul-de-sac street is not needed or planned on this property, the applicant will request that the City Council vacate this easement. • Building elevations. The proposed major exterior building material is metal siding, with brick masonry as an accent material. These materials meet the city’s requirements. A rending of the proposed building is attachment K. The applicant is requesting flexibility to meet the percentage of glazing on the building’s east side (see section D). • Landscaping. There are currently 13 trees on the property. The plan calls for removal of five of these trees, and the planting of 18 new trees for a total of 26 trees on the property. These new trees are: “autumn brilliance serviceberry”, “maidenhair”, “swamp white oak”, and “boulevard linden”. The applicant proposes planting seven varieties of shrubs, including those that will screen the proposed building foundation and the surface parking lot from view. 6000 – 56th AVENUE NORTH – REZONING TO TOWN CENTER - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 5 OF 8 For those trees that will be planted in the right-of-way, the applicant will be asked to sign a maintenance and replacement agreement with the city. The submittal of this agreement for city signature is made a condition of rezoning approval. • Screening. Waste receptacles will be located within the building and rolled out for pick-up by the refuse hauler. The applicant has stated that no rooftop mechanical units will need to be screened. A transformer in the northwest area of the property will be screened by landscaping. • Exterior Lighting. There are three city-owned light poles in the adjacent street rights-of-way (two along 56th Ave. N. and one along Lakeland Ave. N.). On the private property, there are no existing light poles, but the site plan shows six new light poles. There will also be seven exterior lighting fixtures on the proposed building, as well as bollards illuminating the entrance stoop (ADA compliant walkway) along 56th Avenue N. This lighting does not meet the city’s footcandle requirements (see section D). • Pedestrian connections. There is an existing 7-foot wide sidewalk along 56th Avenue N. A private sidewalk is located along the north side of the building that will wind along the east side of the building to connect to the public sidewalk on 56th. • Signs. The applicant is proposing a monument sign in a similar location as the existing commercial monument sign that will be removed. The UDC requires the new monument sign to not exceed six feet in height. The applicant must receive sign permit approval before installing any signage. D. REZONING TO TOWN CENTER PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (TC - PD) The applicant is requesting that the property be rezoned to Planned Development – Town Center (TC - PD), which has requirements for site design elements such as building placement and façade treatments, but the TC-PD district allows for flexibility in these zoning requirements. Attachment D details the applicant’s rationale for requesting flexibility with the following requirements. a. Corner side setback. As noted earlier, the maximum corner setback is 12’, and the applicant is requesting to construct the building at a setback of 50’. The applicant’s rationale is that the building is set back from Adair Avenue N. due to the presence of a 30’ wide drainage and utility easement on that side of the property. Staff is supportive of this request. b. Primary building street frontage. The UDC requires at least 75% of the primary building street frontage along 56th Avenue N. to be occupied by the apartment building, but this may reduced to 60% if the applicant can demonstrate that the purpose of the town center district is still achieved. For this property the minimum 6000 – 56th AVENUE NORTH – REZONING TO TOWN CENTER - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 6 OF 8 building street frontage is 346’, but the applicant is requesting that this be reduced to 236’ (68% of lot frontage). With two 30’-wide drainage and utility easements on both the east and west sides of the property, the buildable area of the property is limited. The purpose of the town center districts is to create a walkable, urban-like environment. With the building close to 56th Avenue N. and parking located either within or behind the building, the site plan will still create a walkable, pedestrian-friendly environment. Staff is supportive of this request. c. Parking Requirements. The applicant is requesting flexibility for two requirements related to parking: ➢ Number of spaces. The UDC requires two spaces per dwelling unit, one of which must be enclosed in a garage. The minimum number of parking spaces for this building is 88 spaces, 44 of which must be enclosed. The site plan provides for 71 parking spaces – 42 in underground parking lot and 29 spaces in a surface parking lot. The city’s parking regulations allow a reduction in the number of enclosed spaces if the applicant provides information about why it is not feasible to construct the required number. The applicant’s parking study (attachment F) compares the Lotus Pointe development to eight other recent apartment developments in the Twin Cities area that have reduced parking. On May 2, 2025 city staff visited six of these developments (attachment G). Only three of the completed developments have adjacent single-family homes. The study also cites information from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) that recommends fewer number of parking spaces for this development based on parking demand. On March 18, 2025, prior to the applicant’s submittal of their rezoning application, city staff provided direction to Woda Cooper on what should be included in a parking study (attachment G). Woda Cooper did not address these parking management strategies in their study. As a condition of rezoning approval, staff recommends that the applicant provide a parking management commitment letter to address these strategies. This letter shall be provided prior to the May 20, 2025 City Council meeting and will serve as a formal enforceable condition of rezoning approval. ➢ Parking lot setbacks. The required parking lot setback to the property line along Lakeland Avenue N. is four feet from the face of the curb and three feet from the back of the curb. The applicant is requesting that the back of the curb be 0.8 feet from the property line. With two 30’-wide drainage and utility easements on both the east and west sides of the property, the buildable area of the property is limited. The purpose of the setback is to provide suitable separation or screening of the parking lot to adjacent uses. The applicant’s landscape plan adequately screens the parking lot from the residential uses across Lakeland Avenue N. Staff is supportive of this request. 6000 – 56th AVENUE NORTH – REZONING TO TOWN CENTER - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 7 OF 8 d. Glazing. The minimum glazing requirement for building elevations facing street frontages is 30%. The building street frontages along both 56th and Lakeland Avenues N. meet this requirement. The applicant is requesting a reduction to 8% for the elevation facing Adair Avenue N. The site is located on three streets and has a smaller buildable area due to the presence of two large utility easements. The intent of the UDC’s requirement was to ensure that the primary and secondary façades meet the glazing requirements and did not anticipate sites fronting on more than two streets. Staff is supportive of this request. e. Exterior lighting. The applicant’s narrative (attachment D) provides detailed rationale for the exterior lighting’s noncompliance with the city’s footcandle requirements at the property line. The site’s narrow buildable area due to the presence of two large drainage and utility easements on the east and west sides mean that various site plan elements, such as the parking lot and ADA compliant front walkway, are closer to the property line than is typically the case. Those reduced setbacks make it difficult to meet the footcandle requirement at the property line while still providing safety and security for apartment residents through an adequately-lit environment. The narrative describes the applicant’s plan to install lighting fixtures that are full cutoff and rated as nighttime compliant to reduce glare and lighting spillover. Full cutoff lighting projects lighting downward. The International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) is recognized by many cities for its efforts to minimize glare and reduce light trespass by installing full cutoff fixtures. Staff is supportive of this request. E. REQUESTED ACTION The Planning Commission is being asked to make a recommendation to the City Council to either deny or approve the rezoning to Town Center - Planned Development (TC - PD) for the construction of an apartment building at 6000 – 56th Ave. N. This recommendation should include findings of fact either for or against the proposal. The Commission may reference the findings for approval in sections B, C, and D, above. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning to TC-PD with the following conditions of approval: 1. Additional Information. Prior to the May 20, 2025 City Council meeting, the applicant shall: a. Turning radius plan. Provide a fire truck turning radius plan for the surface parking lot. b. Parking Management. Provide a parking management commitment letter detailing Woda Cooper’s parking management strategies for the apartment building. 2. Site Plan. The development shall be constructed according to the site plan in attachment K. Prior to issuance of the building permit, the applicant shall: a. Provide documentation that the cul-de-sac easement vacation has been recorded at Hennepin County. 6000 – 56th AVENUE NORTH – REZONING TO TOWN CENTER - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION PAGE 8 OF 8 b. Receive approval from the Shingle Creek Watershed Commission of the stormwater management plan, and erosion and grading plans. c. Sign a site improvement agreement with the city and provide an escrow to guarantee installation of the surface parking lot, underground stormwater chamber, and landscaping plan. d. Provide a maintenance agreement for city approval for the stormwater infiltration tank which will be recorded against property. e. Provide a maintenance and replacement agreement for city approval for the trees planted in public street right-of-way which will be recorded against the property. f. Provide an approval letter from the Federal Aviation Administration to the city. 3. Overhead utilities. If utility lines are installed, relocated or extended, the lines shall be buried underground. New private utilities, such as Xcel Energy, Center Point Energy, or Comcast shall be buried underground. 4. Special provisions related to Town Center - Planned Development rezoning. At this time, the rezoning to TC-PD implements the following special provisions in place of the standard town center requirements. Upon submittal of additional information as described in section E, additional flexibility to the city’s zoning requirements may be approved. a. The corner side building setback along Adair Avenue N. is increased from the maximum requirement of 12 feet to 50 feet. b. The primary building street frontage requirement is reduced from 75% to 68% along 56th Avenue N. c. The parking lot setback is reduced along Lakeland Avenue N. from 3 feet to 0.8 feet from the back of curb. d. The minimum glazing requirement is reduced from 30% to 8% for the elevation facing Adair Avenue N. e. The footcandle requirements are altered according to the exterior lighting plan in attachment K. City Council action of the first reading of the ordinance rezoning the property to TC-PD is anticipated on May 20, 2025. If the Council approves first reading, then second reading of the rezoning ordinance would be considered at the June 3rd Council meeting in which the cul-de-sac easement vacation request will also be considered.

The existing zoning is C – Commercial. The existing use is office, consisting of 1 office building with surface lot parking. The proposed use is multifamily, consisting of a 44-unit four-story elevator building. The Planned Development (PD) does not meet the lot area requirement of 2 acres. However, the property is located in a transitional area between different land use categories, and it is located on an arterial street as defined in the comprehensive plan. First, the property is located between the TC and C districts, which consists of commercial and park uses, and R-1, which consists of single family uses. Additionally, the property is located along CSAH 10 (56th avenue/Bass Lake Rd), which is defined as a minor arterial street in the comprehensive plan. The development meets the purposes of the TC-PD overlay district, because multifamily is a permitted use, residential density is between 16 and 64 units per acre (44 units per acre), and the building has been designed to be in line with the site development standards of the TC-PD district. The development also meets the goal of providing housing affordable to all income groups. The parking shown in the site plan varies from standard zoning requirements. Instead of 2 parking spaces per unit with one of two enclosed, the development will provide 1.64 parking spaces per units, with 29 uncovered and 43 spaces covered. Please see the attached parking study which justifies the lessened parking ratio. The zoning requirements call for a parking lot setback of 3 feet from the back of the curb. Our plan shows a 0.8-foot setback. We are requesting flexibility on this requirement as we believe it is the only way to fit all improvements within the limited width of the site. Our building is pushed as far south as possible, and its width is very inflexible as we must have circulation in the underground parking garage. The improvements to the north of the building are as compressed as they can be, even going down to 45 degree angled parking. We believe a reduced setback is necessary and will have minimal impact on the community. The standard zoning requirements state that “At least 75 percent of the building street frontage shall be occupied by the principal building on a primary building façade” but that “The city may consider a reduction to 60 percent to the building street frontage requirement on a primary building façade based on the unique characteristics of the site, if the applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the city that the building and site design fulfills the purposes of the TC district.” There is 346 feet of street frontage on 56th Avenue, the primary building façade, so the 75% threshold would be 259.5 feet of building frontage. As proposed, the building occupies 236 feet, or 68% of the building street frontage on 56th Avenue. The site has large, unbuildable utility easements on both the West and East ends, which constitute a unique characteristic making it difficult to meet the 75% threshold. If the width of these easements were not counted towards the building street frontage, the project would Attachment D Page 2 of 4 Woda Cooper Companies, Inc. easily meet the requirement by occupying 88% of the building street frontage. Therefore, we believe the proposed site plan meets the intention of the requirements, and the project as a whole will fulfill the purpose of the TC-PD district as discussed above. The standard zoning requirements call for a minimum of 30% glazing for residential floors at street frontages. We have a unique site where three sides of the building face public streets. While the main North and South façade meet this requirement, as proposed the narrow East façade facing towards Adair Ave N does not. We believe the way the site has a unique condition because of how the street wraps around the site, constraining its dimensions and making it an atypical corner property, and ask for flexibility on the glazing requirement for the East façade. There are a few areas along the property line where the proposed site plan does not meet the standard zoning requirement that “Exterior lighting which casts light on a public street shall not exceed one foot candle at the property line abutting the street.” We note that in all these areas, the light is being cast on public streets already illuminated by city street lights, not onto neighboring properties. Below we will discuss each area, and the constraints of the site and safety that lead us to design the exterior lighting plan as we have. Main Parking Lot: Below is a screenshot of the areas over 1.0FC at the property line at the main parking lot. In this instance, the property line is directly behind the parking curb of the pole, making it impossible to have less than 1.0FC at that line (as it is directly below the pole light). These fixtures specified are full cut-off, nighttime compliant, and each have house side shields, to minimize light trespass behind them. It should be noted that the light trespass at the curb to Lakeland Ave North, will be 0FC. If we went to a wall mounted fixture on the building, in lieu of poles, the lighting would not be able to extend beyond the row of parking stalls closest to the building, thus making the drive aisle and north parking stalls without lighting. This would pose a very serious safety risk. Page 3 of 4 Woda Cooper Companies, Inc. Parking Lot Entrances/Exits: Below is a screenshot of areas that exceed 1.0FC at the main entrance/exit of the parking lot. Because the property line is so far inbound of the roadway, the lighting is exceeded in these locations. If we removed these fixtures, we would have very low, to almost no lighting at these entrances and exits, where it is critical people are able to see, as they navigate to and from the site. Again, its worth noting, that the lighting levels are under 1.0FC at the curb to Lakland Ave North, and these fixtures are full cut-off, nighttime compliant, and each have house side shields. ADA Sidewalk: Below is a screenshot of areas that exceed 1.0FC at the South ADA sidewalk/ramp. These fixtures are low level bollard lights, provided to safely illuminate the ADA sidewalk. These fixtures are also full cutoff, nighttime compliant fixtures. Because of the distance from the building façade to the property line, the levels exceed 1.0FC In summary, to safely illuminate this site, some locations of property lines will exceed the 1.0FC maximum. In order to help mitigate this, we have specified fixtures that are full cutoff, and rated as nighttime compliant to reduce the glare and lighting trespass. We have made every effort to comply Page 4 of 4 Woda Cooper Companies, Inc. with the city requirements, but being under the property line maximum level, would create a dark and unsafe environment. Existing adjacent residential uses should not experience any adverse effects from the proposed development. The drive aisle will face away from residential uses and landscaping will buffer the parking lot, preventing headlights from being shone into the windows of nearby houses. The site will be well lit and monitored by cameras to prevent any loitering or crime. The site plan’s drive aisle is aligned to give vehicles exiting the parking lot unobstructed vision right and left when exiting on to Lakeland Avenue and Brunswick Avenue. Access on the corner of Adair Avenue and Lakeland Avenue will only be a point of ingress. Adequate sidewalk access will be provided to allow safe access for pedestrians accessing the building. There are no use-specific standards to address, because the sole multifamily use standard is not applicable for the TC-PD district. Facing 56th Ave. N. East side of property (facing Adair Ave. N.)

From: Lance Bernard, Director of Planning Transportation Collaborative & Consultants, LLC Date: March 28, 2025 Subject: Lotus Pointe Parking Study INTRODUCTION TC2 completed a parking study for the proposed residential development in the City of Crystal. The subject site, shown in Figure 1, is generally located in the northeast quadrant of the Bottineau Boulevard (CR 81) and Bass Lake Road (CR 10) intersection. The proposed development is a 44 affordable unit apartment building, which would replace the existing Bass Lake Center commercial building. The main objectives of the study are to estimate the parking demand for the proposed development and compare it to City Code requirements, as well as market conditions at similar sites. The following study assumptions, methodology, and findings are offered for consideration. Figure 1 Subject Site Zane Ave Subject Site Brunswick Ave Bass Lake Rd (CR 10) Lakeland Ave Adair Ave Attachment F Lotus Pointe Parking Study March 28, 2025 Page 2 PARKING ASSESSMENT A total of 72 off-street parking spaces (29 surface and 43 enclosed) are planned for the proposed Lotus Pointe development. To understand if the proposed parking conditions are sufficient, City Code requirements were reviewed, along with developing an estimated parking demand and assessing similar developments. The following information outlines the parking assessment. City Code The purpose of the City of Crystal’s off-street parking requirements (City Code Section 520.15) is to alleviate or prevent congestion of the public right-of-way and to promote the safety and general welfare of the public, by establishing requirements for off-street parking of motor vehicles as a use that is accessory to the utilization of various parcels of land or structures. To determine the site’s parking requirements, the development assumes a rezoning of Commercial to Town Center Planned Development (TC-PD), which allows for a reduction in parking per City Code (515.13 Subd. 4.d. and 520.15 Subd. 8). The off-street parking requirement for the proposed development is based on the following criteria: •Dwellings, Multiple-Family: 2 spaces per dwelling unit, 1 of the 2 to be enclosed in a garage. As shown in Table 1, the City parking requirement for the proposed development is 88 parking spaces. Based on the proposed 72 parking spaces, there is a 16 parking space deficit based on City Code. Table 1 City Code Parking Summary Land Use City Requirement Size City Code Requirement Multiple-Family 2 spaces per unit, 1 of the 2 to be enclosed 44 units 44 spaces uncovered 44 spaces enclosed Total City Code Parking Requirement 88 spaces Proposed Development Surface Parking 29 spaces uncovered Enclosed Parking 43 spaces enclosed Total Parking Proposed 72 spaces Parking Surplus / (Deficit) Based on City Code (15)spaces uncovered (1)spaces enclosed Total Site Parking Surplus / (Deficit) Based on City Code (16) spaces Lotus Pointe Parking Study March 28, 2025 Page 3 ITE Review Another approach to understanding whether parking is sufficient is to review the average and 85th percentile parking demand information published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Using this approach, which is summarized in Table 2, indicates that the parking demand for the proposed development is expected to range from 46 parking spaces up to 64 parking spaces, depending on weekday versus Saturday conditions and average versus 85th percentile rates. Based on this information, the proposed development provides sufficient off-street parking to meet the average and 85th percentile ITE parking demand for all conditions. Table 2 ITE Parking Summary Land Use (ITE Code) Rates (Average to 85th Percentile) Size ITE Parking Demand (Average to 85th Percentile) Weekday Multi-Family Residential (221) 1.23 to 1.45 spaces per unit 44 units 55 to 64 spaces Saturday Multi-Family Residential (221) 1.04 to 1.14 spaces per unit 44 units 46 to 51 spaces Total Parking Proposed 72 spaces Comparable Sites To provide additional context, a review of parking rates at comparable residential sites is provided in Table 3. This information indicates that parking ratios of recent projects have ranged from 0.88 to 1.54 spaces per unit, which can be an indication of market conditions. The proposed development has a residential parking ratio of 1.64 spaces per unit, which is at the high end of the comparable sites.

Those that pertain to this project under “Section 520.15. Off-street parking and loading” are outlined below. Subdivision 3. General provisions. (b) Parking spaces to be permanent. Each parking space shall be permanently available, marked, and maintained for parking purposes for the use which it is intended to serve. •The proposed parking will be clearly marked and designed to accommodate residents, visitors, and accessibility needs. Resident parking will be “bundled” with rent. While EV charging stations are not required by the City Code, this project will include five (5) underground EV charging stations, one (1) of which will be accessible. Additionally, bike parking will be provided throughout the site. Subd. 7. Disabled parking requirements. Parking spaces required for the disabled shall be provided in compliance with all applicable state and federal requirements. If practicable, spaces for the disabled shall be located so they provide easy access from the closest parking area to the major entrance of the use for which they are provided. •The proposed parking requirements comply with the State of Minnesota's 2020 MN Accessibility Code, which follows the International Building Code (IBC) for apartment buildings and requires two (2) accessible spaces for parking areas with 26 to 50 spaces. The development includes two (2)parking areas: a surface lot with 29 uncovered spaces and a parking garage with 43 enclosed spaces. Each parking area will provide two (2) accessible spaces, totaling four (4) accessible spaces. Subd. 8. Modification of parking requirements. (b) Providing fewer parking spaces. An applicant may request a reduction of up to ten percent of the minimum required spaces in Table 11, but shall be required to provide the information required in this paragraph. The request shall be reviewed according to a Type 1 review procedure and the decision of the zoning administrator is appealable according to the requirements in the Crystal city code, subsection 510.35. (1) Number of customers, patients, visitors, residents, or other patrons of the proposed use. Information shall also be included detailing the expected parking behavior of these people (i.e., how long a customer may be at the facility). (2) Number of full- time and part-time employees. (3) Number and approximate timing of deliveries. •The proposed parking space count is outside the ten (10) percent reduction. However, the proposed parking exceeds industry standards and market conditions at 1.64 spaces per unit. Additionally, the proposed development is adjacent to the Town Center Zoning District, which requires (Section 520.15. Subd.6.e.) residential developments to provide a minimum of 1 space per unit, plus one (1) space per ten (10) units for visitor parking. The proposed development would exceed this requirement by 20 spaces. Furthermore, as the development is exclusively residential, it will not attract customers. Parking behavior will primarily be influenced by residents, with occasional use by visitors and building management / maintenance staff. Lotus Pointe Parking Study March 28, 2025 Page 5 Subd. 8. Modification of parking requirements. (c) Reducing the number of required enclosed parking spaces. An applicant may request a reduction of up to ten percent of the required number of enclosed spaces in Table 11 but shall be required to submit a description of why it is not feasible to construct the required number of enclosed spaces. The request shall be reviewed according to a Type 1 review procedure and the decision of the zoning administrator is appealable according to the requirements in the Crystal city code, subsection 510.35. •The proposed enclosed parking space count is within a ten (10) percent reduction (i.e., one (1) parking spaces). Expanding the building footprint or reconfiguring the parking garage to add one (1) more enclosed space is neither cost-effective nor feasible, particularly since the proposed enclosed parking supply falls within the allowed ten (10) percent reduction. Subd. 11. Parking design standards. Required parking areas shall be designed, constructed, and maintained in compliance with the requirements of this subsection. (4.b.i) Use of compact vehicle spaces. This paragraph provides for the establishment of compact vehicle spaces as an alternative to full sized spaces. Such spaces shall comply with the following: (i) A maximum of 20 percent of spaces in any single parking lot may be dedicated to compact parking spaces. •A total of two (2) compact spaces will be marked in the parking garage, accounting for less than one (1) percent of the total parking supply, which complies with this requirement. SUMMARY Although the proposed development is considered under-parked from a multifamily residential development City Code perspective, it provides sufficient off-street parking when compared to current ITE parking demand rates and market conditions. The study indicates that recent regional multifamily residential developments have had parking ratios between 0.88 to 1.54 spaces per unit, with an average of 1.25 spaces per unit. This information suggests that the proposed ratio of 1.64 spaces per unit is anticipated to be adequate. Note that while the total parking space count exceeds the ten (10) percent reduction requirement per City Code, the development is adjacent to the Town Center Zoning District’s. This requires one (1) space per unit plus one (1) visitor space per ten (10) units. Under this requirement, the proposed development offers a slightly higher parking supply than required, further confirming the proposed development’s capability to meet the anticipated parking demand.

REVISIONS DATE ADD REQUIREMENTS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT PAGE 1 OF 7 __________________________________________________________________________ FROM: Dan Olson, City Planner TO: Planning Commission (for May 12 Meeting) DATE: May 6, 2025 RE: PUBLIC HEARING - Amend the Unified Development Code to add requirements for a Neighborhood Commercial district (Application Number 2025-03) __________________________________________________________________________ A. BACKGROUND The Planning Commission has recently been discussing several proposed amendments to the unified development code (UDC). The proposed amendments include policy changes on five issues, as well as corrections or clarifications, brought about by things we learned while administering the UDC’s requirements. The five proposed policy changes are: 1. Create a new neighborhood commercial (NC) district. 2. Reduce minimum lot width and area for two-family dwellings. 3. Modify locations for auto-dependent uses. 4. Modify parking requirements. 5. Allow ADUs in additional housing types. This staff report only addresses policy issue #1, the Neighborhood Commercial district. The other four policy issues are addressed in Application Number 2025-04 on the May 12, 2025 Planning Commission agenda. The Planning Commission discussed these five policy changes, as well as other miscellaneous UDC amendments, at their meetings on March 10th and April 14th. The Commission’s comments for the Neighborhood Commercial district have been incorporated into the policy change discussion that starts on page 2. Notice of the May 12 public hearing was published in the Sun Post on May 1, mailed to owners and renters whose properties are considered for rezoning (see pages 4-7) and posted to all neighborhoods on Nextdoor. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Neighborhood Commercial District ADD REQUIREMENTS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT PAGE 2 OF 7 Attachments: A. Proposed ordinance amendments B. Location of proposed Neighborhood Commercial (NC) properties C. Powerpoint B. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT Create a new neighborhood commercial (NC) district. Prior to 2018 the city had two commercial zoning districts: the General Commercial district (C-2) which drew customers from the entire community, and the Neighborhood Commercial district (C-1) which provided for limited commercial uses near established residential areas. The C-1 district was not included in the UDC when it was created in 2018, and its properties were included in the Commercial district. City Council has recently expressed interest in re-establishing this district to ensure compatibility between residential and commercial. a. Zoning standards. The NC district would include commercial properties near residential uses, but outside of the following areas of the city: • Main commercial area at West Broadway and 56th Ave. N. (Bass Lake Road) • Cub area at the southeast quadrant of 36th Ave N and Hwy. 100. • 60th and Lakeland Ave. N. In 2022 City Council approved a UDC text amendment to allow for the expansion of Goldengate Auto (6048 Lakeland Ave. N) and Jack’s Auto Sales (6030 Lakeland/6043 Florida Ave. N). Planning Commission Discussion. The Commission’s consensus was that the properties at 60th Ave. N. and Lakeland should remain in the Commercial (C) district. Staff Response. These properties are not included in the proposed NC district. The following are possible standards that would be added to the NC district, with proposed language shown in attachment A. a. Purpose statement (page 51). Planning Commission Discussion. Commission requested that the word “neighborhood” should be added to the beginning of the last sentence of the NC purpose statement. Staff Response. Attachment A has been amended to reflect this change. b. Listing of the permitted, conditional, accessory and temporary uses (pages 77-81, 97-98, and 108). Planning Commission Discussion. Commissioners commented on certain uses that should be permitted, conditional or not allowed. Staff Response. Attachment A has been amended to reflect the following changes. ADD REQUIREMENTS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT PAGE 3 OF 7 o Multiple-family and one-family attached dwellings should not be allowed (note: these developments can still occur through a Planned Development rezoning). o Convenience stores should be a permitted use. o Indoor theaters should be a conditional use. o Tobacco shops should not be allowed. c. Dimensional requirements. Minimum lot areas, lot width, lot depths, building setbacks, and greenspace requirements (pages 116-129). d. Sign requirements (pages 184-186). Planning Commission Discussion. Commission members requested that monument signs in the NC district should not exceed 6’ in height, and there should be time limitations on when electronic readerboards can display copy or graphics. Staff Response. Attachment A has been amended to reflect these changes. e. Hours of operation (page 51). Planning Commission Discussion. Hours of operation for the NC district should be revised to 5 AM to 10 PM, but in some cases it may not be appropriate to require a specific use to adhere to these hours. Staff response: Text has been added that allows these operating hours to be altered during the conditional use permit (CUP) approval process. Planning Commission Discussion. The Commission asked about limiting hours of operation for non-residential uses in the R-1 and R-2 districts. Staff response: Because all such uses would require a CUP, and hours of operation limits may be imposed under the general CUP criteria in 510.19 Subd. 4(d), no amendment is necessary. As with all new zoning regulations, existing businesses that operate outside of the new hours of operation will be defined as “legally nonconforming”. This means that they may continue to operate outside of the new hours of operation but any new business that replaces them shall adhere to the city’s new hours. Staff will document existing hours for these businesses during the period between adoption of the ordinance and its effective date. f. Design standards (page 51). Staff has added a requirement that new building construction would be subject to a shadow effects study, as required in the Town Center (TC) and Town Center – Planned Development (TC-PD) districts. Planning Commission Discussion. The Commission did not request to add any other design standards to the NC district. ADD REQUIREMENTS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT PAGE 4 OF 7 b. Amend medium (R-2) and higher (R-3) density residential zoning districts (pages 77-81). The R-2 and R-3 districts primarily contains residential uses. With the creation of the NC district, staff proposes to remove commercial uses in the R-2 and R-3 districts to encourage any future neighborhood commercial uses to be located in the NC district. c. Potential addresses for rezoning. The following properties would be rezoned for the new neighborhood commercial (NC) district. Attachment B shows the properties to be rezoned to NC.

Official zoning map. The official zoning map together with all materials attached thereto is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this section. The official zoning map shall be on file with the city clerk. 515.03. Establishment of zoning districts. (a)Established. The zoning classifications and zoning districts specified in Table 2 are hereby established within the city to carry out the purposes of this UDC. Table 2: Zoning Districts Abbreviation District Name BASE ZONING DISTRICTS R1 Low Density Residential District R2 Medium Density Residential District R3 High Density Residential District NC Neighborhood Commercial District C Commercial District TC Town Center Core District I Industrial District AP Airport District OVERLAY ZONING DISTRICTS FP Floodplain Overlay District SL Shoreland Overlay District PD Planned Development Overlay District (b)Relationship of overlay districts to base districts. (1)Where land is classified into an overlay zoning district, the regulations governing development in the overlay district shall apply in addition to the regulations governing the underlying base district, unless otherwise noted. In the event of a conflict between the standards of the overlay district and the base district, the standards governing the overlay district shall control. (2)In some instances land may be classified into multiple overlay districts. In the event of a conflict between the standards of the multiple overlay districts, the most restrictive standards shall apply. (c)Zoning district boundaries. (1)Zoning district boundary lines follow lot lines, railroad right-of-way lines, the center of water courses or the corporate limit lines, all as they exist upon the effective date of this UDC. Attachment A 51 (a) Purpose. The purpose of the R-3 High density residential district is to provide for multiple family buildings and directly related, complimentary uses, together with limited commercial uses as provided herein. In accordance with the comprehensive plan, densities are to be no less than 16 and no more than 40 dwellings per gross acre. As part of the approval process for a particular development, the city council may set the maximum density at a specific figure within the range established by the comprehensive plan, depending on the character of the surrounding area and the potential for negative impacts on the community. (b) Site development standards. Such standards shall be those provided in the Crystal city code, subsection 520.03 for the site development standards that apply to the R3 district. (c) Other development standards. In addition to the standards established for the R3 district in this section, all development shall be subject to all other applicable standards as provided in the Crystal city code, section 520. Subd. ____. NC Neighborhood Commercial district. (a) Purpose. The purpose of the NC Neighborhood Commercial district is to provide for offices, low intensity retail or service businesses and compatible limited residential uses. Neighborhood commercial uses typically provide goods and services on a limited community or neighborhood scale and are located at the edge of a residential area on a site adequately served by collector or arterial streets. Neighborhood commercial uses have little to no impact on adjacent residential uses. (b) Site development standards. Such standards shall be those provided in the Crystal city code, subsection 520.03 for the site development standards that apply to the Neighborhood Commercial district. (c) Other development standards. In addition to the standards established for the Neighborhood Commercial district in this section, all development shall be subject to all other applicable standards as provided in the Crystal city code, section 520.0 (d) Hours of operation. All principal uses shall not be open before 5:00 a.m. or after 10:00 p.m., with that for those uses listed as conditional uses in Table 3 of the Crystal city code section, 515.17, the city may, in its discretion, alter these required hours of operation during the approval of a conditional use permit if the applicant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the city that different hours of operation are appropriate due to the unique circumstances of the use. (e) Shadow effects study. The applicant shall submit a shadow effects study to determine any negative shadow impacts to residential uses within 300 percent of the building height. If negative impacts are determined, the city may require design techniques to mitigate the impacts, such as reducing the height of the building, relocating or reorientating the building within the site, reducing building mass, or stepping-back a portion of the building. (f) Façade glazing. For non-residential uses, the ground floor shall allow views into and out of the building at eye level between four and seven feet above the adjacent grade. Signs, shelving, mechanical equipment, interior walls, or other similar elements shall not block views between these heights. 77 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.

MISCELLANEOUS UDC AMENDMENTS PAGE 1 OF 9 __________________________________________________________________________ FROM: Dan Olson, City Planner TO: Planning Commission (for May 12 Meeting) DATE: May 6, 2025 RE: PUBLIC HEARING - Miscellaneous Amendments to the Unified Development Code (Application Number 2025-04) __________________________________________________________________________ A.BACKGROUND The Planning Commission has recently been discussing several proposed amendments to the unified development code (UDC). The proposed amendments include policy changes on five issues, as well as corrections or clarifications, brought about by things we learned while administering the UDC’s requirements. The five proposed policy changes are: 1.Create a new neighborhood commercial (NC) district. This issue is addressed in Application Number 2025-03 on the May 12, 2025 Planning Commission agenda. 2.Reduce minimum lot width and area for two-family dwellings. 3.Modify locations for auto-dependent uses. 4.Modify parking requirements. 5.Allow ADUs in additional housing types. The Planning Commission discussed these five policy changes, as well as other miscellaneous UDC amendments, at their meetings on March 10th and April 14th. The Commission’s comments have been incorporated into the policy change discussion that starts on page 2. Notice of the May 12 public hearing was published in the Sun Post on May 1 and posted to all neighborhoods on Nextdoor. PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Miscellaneous UDC Amendments MISCELLANEOUS UDC AMENDMENTS PAGE 2 OF 9 Attachments: A. Proposed ordinance amendments B. Map showing existing and proposed properties eligible for two-family dwellings C. Parking requirements for other cities D. Commercial development parking counts E. Location of potential ADUs F. Powerpoint B. PROPOSED POLICY CHANGES Staff has identified the following five issues involving a change of policy that required additional discussion. Page numbers, below, refer to the proposed amendment in attachment A. POLICY ISSUE #2. Reduce minimum lot width and area for two-family dwellings (pages 121-122). To provide more housing opportunities, staff recommends reducing the minimum lot width for a two-family dwelling in the R-1 district from 80’ to 75’, and to reduce the minimum lot area from 10,000 to 9,000 sq. ft. Attachment B shows the location of lots zoned R-1 that are already eligible for a two-family dwelling, and those that would become eligible if the amendment was approved by the City Council. Planning Commission Discussion. Commissioners suggested reducing the lot area to 9,000 sq. ft. for both the R-1 and R-2 districts but leaving lot width at 80’ for those two districts. Staff Response. Attachment A has not been amended to reflect this change, but shows the staff recommendation to reduce the lot width to 75 feet so that more housing opportunities can be provided. Staff understands that the majority of the Commission may want to keep it at 80 feet. POLICY ISSUE #3 - Modify locations for auto-dependent uses (pages 80, 86-88). City Council has expressed an interest in reducing the number of auto-dependent uses in the Town Center (TC) and Town Center – Planned Development (TC-PD) area. These uses are currently allowed as either a permitted or conditional use along the West Broadway and Hwy 81 corridors, south of 56th Ave N (Bass Lake Rd) and north of the railroad tracks. The map on page 4 shows the location of 20 businesses defined as auto-dependent uses. These uses are vehicle fuel stations; vehicle, boat and recreational vehicle sales or lease; car washes; vehicle repair; and vehicle impound lots. • TC district. There are no auto-dependent uses in the mandatory TC district. MISCELLANEOUS UDC AMENDMENTS PAGE 3 OF 9 • TC-PD district. Since the TC-PD is an overlay district that a property owner can opt into, all 20 businesses could be continued under the Commercial or Industrial zoning classification. If the text amendment is approved by the City Council, 17 businesses would become legally nonconforming (the other three businesses in this list are already noted as legally nonconforming), meaning that these businesses could continue to operate but cannot expand, and if the use is discontinued for one year, then that location can no longer have an auto-dependent use. The 20 businesses are: Vehicle fuel stations • Speedway, 5359 West Broadway • Holiday (with car wash), 5410 Lakeland Ave. N. Vehicle, boat or recreational vehicle sales or lease • Christy Motors, 5272 West Broadway • Vacant building, 5213-5215 West Broadway • RAV Motors, 5241 West Broadway • Tower Auto Mart, 5273 West Broadway • Car Hop auto sales, 5417 Lakeland Ave. N. • U-Haul, 5465 Lakeland Ave. N. • Cities Auto (already legally nonconforming), 5630 Lakeland Ave. N Car washes • Car Wash, 5301 Douglas Dr. N. Vehicle repair • Quizhpi Collision, 5115 Hanson Ct N • Asia Auto Center, 5264 West Broadway • Aamco Transmission, 5231 West Broadway • Source Auto, 5301 Douglas Dr N • TGK Automotive, 5337 Edgewood Ave. N. • Skip’s Auto Repair, 5343 Lakeland Ave. N. • Boss Auto Garage (already legally nonconforming), 5259 Douglas Dr. N. • ASI Automotive (already legally nonconforming), 5701 West Broadway Vehicle impound lots • Schmit Towing, 5246 Hanson Ct N. • Twin Cities Transport and Recovery, 5124-5128 Hanson Ct N Planning Commission Discussion. Commissioners suggested that vehicle fuel stations remain allowed on Bottineau from the CPKC to 56th, West Broadway from Corvallis, and the Cub property at 36th & Hwy 100 (page 85). Staff Response. Attachment A has been amended to reflect this change. MISCELLANEOUS UDC AMENDMENTS PAGE 4 OF 9 Auto-dependent uses in the TC and TC-PD districts: POLICY ISSUE #4 - Modify parking requirements (pages 146-147). a. Eliminate or modify minimum and/or maximum number of parking spaces. ➢ Eliminate minimum parking. Some cities, including Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth, have eliminated minimum required parking to let the market determine how much parking is needed, while still requiring a maximum number of spaces. Staff has not found a city similar to Crystal (first tier suburb fully built out in the immediate post World War II period) that has eliminated minimums, and we do not recommend doing so at this time. ➢ Requirements for other cities. Attachment C is a table providing minimum and maximum number of parking spaces in similar cities for the most common land uses. ➢ Some cities in the table allow applicants to submit a parking study and give staff the authority to administratively reduce minimum parking requirements rather than going through a variance approval process. Planning Commission discussion. The Commission requested that staff make recommendations for specific uses that could have reduced parking. MISCELLANEOUS UDC AMENDMENTS PAGE 5 OF 9 Staff response. Staff provides recommendations below. ➢ Commercial Development Parking Counts. Attachment D is a parking table for ten commercial developments in Crystal. The table shows existing number of spaces, the number of spaces required under current UDC regulations, existing number of spaces and the year with the largest number of parked vehicles for ten years from 2004-2024. From the 1960s to 1990s larger numbers of parking spaces were required for commercial developments, including the developments in attachment D (except the Crystal Medical Center). The table shows that many of these developments are overparked, but if these businesses were created under current UDC regulations, there would be far less required parking. With the exception of restaurants, staff recommends that no changes be made to the existing UDC commercial use parking space minimums. For restaurants, staff recommends that the minimum requirement be reduced (page 147) according to the analysis for restaurant uses at 3537 Douglas Drive N. (attachment D). ➢ Parking for multiple-family dwellings based on number of bedrooms. One Planning Commission member said that they liked Fridley’s requirement for multiple family dwellings being based on the number of bedrooms. Fridley requires 1.5 spaces for each 1-bedroom unit and 0.5 spaces for each additional bedroom per unit. The table below shows examples of an existing and proposed Crystal apartment building and the parking requirement based on Fridley’s regulations. Staff recommends not amending the parking requirements for multiple-family dwellings since there is a provision in the TC-PD district that allows for the number of parking spaces to be reduced based on a parking study submitted by a development applicant. Name and address of Apt. Development Number of bedrooms Parking spaces provided Required parking if based on Fridley regulations 5240 Apts (5240 W. Broadway) 128 (13 one bedrooms) 117 77 Lotus Pointe (6000 – 56th Ave. N.) 92 (11 one bedrooms) 72 57 MISCELLANEOUS UDC AMENDMENTS PAGE 6 OF 9 b. Delete the requirement for covered parking for one-and-two family residential (page 146). ➢ Currently a single or two-family dwelling is required to have two parking spaces per unit, one of which must be enclosed in a garage. ➢ To reduce housing costs for new construction, the proposed amendment would eliminate the need for a garage but still require that each unit have two parking spaces. Builders would most likely still construct a garage. ➢ Existing homes with an attached garage could repurpose that garage for productive living space, such as a rec room or ADU. ➢ Attachment C describes whether similar cities require a garage for single- family or two-family dwellings. New Brighton and Brooklyn Center do not require a garage for a single-family dwelling, but New Brighton requires a garage for a two-family dwelling. Planning Commission Discussion. The Commission was divided on whether to delete the requirement for a covered space for one and two-family dwellings, with some members thinking that eliminating the requirement for a garage would cause issues with outdoor storage of various items, while others understood that even though we currently require a garage, we don’t require a vehicle to actually be parked in that garage. Staff Response. Attachment A reflects the staff’s recommendation to eliminate the requirement for single and two-family dwellings to have a garage. The city does not require a vehicle to be parked in a garage, and eliminating the garage requirement provides an opportunity for the property owner to convert existing attached garages to other, more productive uses such as living space, subject to all of the normal building codes and related requirements. POLICY ISSUE #5 - Allow ADUs in additional housing types (pages 7, 97, 101, 102, 123, 128, 146). a. Single-family attached and two-family dwellings. ➢ Currently, only single-family detached dwellings may have an ADU. ➢ Staff recommends that properties with one-family attached dwellings and two-family dwellings (duplexes) also be allowed have one ADU with similar requirements as single-family homes (see attachment E). o Example 1: An existing side-by-side duplex with a walkout basement would be able to have an ADU in the basement, meaning there could be a total of three dwelling units on the property. o Example 2: An attached single-family dwelling could build a detached ADU in the back yard. b. Neighborhood Commercial district. Staff proposes to allow ADUs in the proposed NC district, as allowed by the pre-UDC zoning code (under this zoning, City Council approved an apartment above the Hardwood Floor store MISCELLANEOUS UDC AMENDMENTS PAGE 7 OF 9 at 4611 – 36th Ave N). This amendment will allow a limited number of residential apartments to be included as part of a commercial use, typically above the commercial use. Detached ADUs would not be allowed in the NC district. Planning Commission Discussion. The Commission did not provide comments on this issue. C. CLARIFICATIONS AND CORRECTIONS The majority of proposed UDC amendments would not be policy changes, but instead clarifications and corrections to existing requirements. The following are the proposed amendments. Planning Commission Discussion. The Commission requested the following two changes to these proposed ordinance amendments. • Hours of operation for weekend seasonal agricultural sales should extend to 9 p.m. instead of 7 p.m. (page 109) • Screening required in exchange for reduced parking lot setbacks should be 6.5 feet in height and be opaque (page 152). Staff Response. Attachment A has been amended to reflect these changes. Subsequent to the April 14th meeting, staff has also revised the text relating to the timelines to complete site plan improvements after application approval (#5 below). 1. Greenhouse, garden and landscaping sales (pages 13, 14, 78). The amendment clarifies the difference between landscaping retail sales and landscape contractors, which are allowed in the Industrial district as “industrial or commercial uses with outdoor storage of parts, products or fuels”. 2. Portable storage container (page 19). The definition would now include soft-sided storage containers (“bagsters”). 3. Subdivision regulations (pages 25, 166). Clarifies that a subdivision review by the city only includes Common Interest Community (CIC) plats that divide the land into two or more lots (not merely a division of ownership). 4. Type 1 review procedure (page 34). Clarifies that the zoning administrator may be assisted in application review by other city staff, as is done for type 2 and 3 procedures. 5. Timeline to complete site improvements (pages 38, 39, 41, 42, 46, and 47). Clarifies the time frames an applicant has to complete site plan improvements after approval of a zoning certificate, site plan, CUP, rezoning, or PD rezoning application. 6. Site plan review (page 38). Requires only a type 1 review procedure for a building replacement on the same footprint and height as the original building. In addition, construction of buildings at the airport only requires a type 1 review. 7. Glazing coverage (pages 52, 55, 56). The requirement for coverage of glazing in the town center area has been increased to 70% and the requirement moved to reflect it is an enforcement standard and not a construction standard. In the MISCELLANEOUS UDC AMENDMENTS PAGE 8 OF 9 neighborhood commercial and commercial districts, a new requirement for such coverage is added. 8. Allow flexibility for town center site development standards (page 52). The amendment will allow city flexibility for site development standards in the town center districts to accommodate those unique characteristics of the site which make it difficult to meet specific standards. 9. Shadow effects study (page 54). The study requirement is amended to increase the radius of a proposed building to include more residential properties 10. Private recreational use in a Planned Development (page 73). This requirement is removed since the city has adequate public parks within walking distance of any potential development site. 11. Specialized care facilities (page 78). The ability to have a specialized care facility with 6 or fewer residents in the commercial district is deleted since these facilities would primarily be located within a single-family dwelling and that use type is not allowed in the commercial district. 12. Notes in permitted use table (page 80, 81, 84). The amendment revises the notes section of the principal land use table as follows: ➢ Notes 2, 3, and 5 have (or are proposed to have) requirements within the use specific standards instead. ➢ Note 4 relates to a requirement deleted in 2023 that limited the amount of floor space for on-sale liquor, wine or beer. 13. Building signage (page 81). Requires directional signage at the public street if the primary entry door for a multiple family dwelling is not visible from the street. 14. Building setbacks in TC district (page 95). This amendment corrects an internal conflict since buildings in the TC district have different setback requirements. 15. Garage and carport requirements (pages 96, 103). In addition to reorganizing requirements for garages and carports, the amendment is to ensure that a garage is large enough for a vehicle by setting a minimum standard for a garage size. 16. Micro unit dwellings (page 104). The requirements for micro unit dwellings are amended to include theses units in the density calculation for the property. 17. Noncommercial greenhouses (pages 104, 126). The amendment corrects internal conflicts to clarify that greenhouses are not allowed in the front yard and are subject to the same exterior material requirements as other detached accessory buildings. 18. Seasonal agricultural sales (page 110). The amendment clarifies weekend hours for seasonal agricultural sales. 19. Exterior materials requirements (page 130). This amendment exempts hangers at the Crystal Airport from the prohibition of a corrugated metal exterior. 20. Tree removal and replacement requirements (pages 136-137). The amendment clarifies the process for determining which trees need to be replaced if removed and which trees can be removed without replacement. 21. Ground mechanical equipment (page 141). Amendment provides an exemption for locating ground mechanical equipment between the building and the public street right-of-way if required by a private utility company. 22. Parking lot setback (page 153). The amendment allows for the required minimum 10’ parking lot setback adjacent to residential properties to be reduced to 5’ if a permanent screen fence is installed. MISCELLANEOUS UDC AMENDMENTS PAGE 9 OF 9 23. Driveway and parking lot paver requirements (page 156). The city allows pavers for driveways and parking lots, but the UDC does not currently have any standards for approval. This amendment adds those standards. 24. Grading (page 173). The amendment adds a cross-reference to chapter 415 of the city code, which has requirements for grading. 25. Signs. ➢ Substitution clause for signs (pages 181, 188, 189). These amendments are to clarify the content neutrality sections of the sign code. ➢ Sign height (page 183). The amendment correct an internal conflict between the sigh height of 25’ and the sign height requirements for individual sign types. ➢ Electronic readerboard (page 185). The amendment clarifies how the sign area for an electronic readerboard is measured. ➢ Freestanding signs (page 186). Clarify that the 50’ setback is to an adjacent residential use, not district. ➢ Temporary signs (page 188). The amendment provides size requirements for temporary signs. D. REQUESTED ACTION The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation to the City Council to either deny or approve the proposed UDC text amendments. Staff recommends approval of the amendments. The following is the proposed schedule for adopting a new ordinance: May 20 Council considers first reading of ordinance June 3 Council considers second reading and adoption June 12 Summary of ordinance published July 12 Effective date of ordinance 7 Section 505 Definitions Subd. 1.

Proposed Timeline May 20 - City Council first reading of ordinance  June 3 - City Council second reading and adoption  June 12 - Publication  July 12 - Effective date The following changes would provide more opportunities for two family dwellings, whether through modification or additions to an existing house, or by new construction: Reduce minimum lot width from 80’ to 75’. Reduce the minimum lot area from 10,000 to 9,000 SF. Staff recommends approval as proposed Some Planning Commission members are OK with reducing the minimum lot area to 9,000 sq. ft. but do not support reducing the minimum lot width to 75’. Policy Discussion #2 - Reduce Minimum Lot Width/Area for Two Family Dwellings Effect of Proposed Change to Minimum Lot Widths Yellow: Lots 80’+ wide Eligible for a two-family dwelling under current ordinance Orange: Lots 75’- 80’ wide Would become eligible for a two-family dwelling under proposed ordinance City Council has expressed an interest in reducing the number of auto-dependent uses in the TC-PD district. Ordinance amendment would prohibit new auto uses. 17 businesses would become legally nonconforming (3 others are already nonconforming). Vehicle fuel stations (2) Planning Commissioners disagreed with prohibiting these uses in the TC-PD district because they are not as negatively impactful as other automotive uses. Staff has modified the proposed ordinance to reflect this request. Vehicle, boat and RV sales or lease (7) Car washes (1) Vehicle repair (8) Vehicle impound lots (2) Policy Discussion #3 - Locations for Auto-Dependent Uses Existing auto uses in the TC and TC-PD Districts Could eliminate or modify minimum and maximum required numbers of spaces Staff is not recommending eliminating parking minimums. Parking comparison table shows what other similar cities require for minimums and maximums. Some cities allow applicants to submit a parking study and give staff authority to reduce parking minimums rather than going through a variance process. Crystal already allows this in the TC-PD district. Policy Discussion #4 - Modify Parking Requirements Commercial Parking Requirements Staff looked at existing parking on 10 commercial properties. Conclusions: Most uses have more parking than needed. This is primarily because property owners wanted a lot of parking in the past, and secondarily due to city requirements in place at the time. The city’s current parking space requirements are generally appropriate based on observed need. The exception is restaurants, for which staff recommends reducing the requirement from 1 space per 100 sq. ft. to 1 space per 250 sq. ft. Garage requirement Currently at least one garage space is required for a single or two-family dwelling. Eliminating the garage requirement would allow existing attached garages to be converted to other uses if desired by the property owner, such as a rec room or ADU. Eliminating the garage requirement could reduce new home construction costs, but most builders would still likely build a garage. Staff recommends deleting the requirement for a garage space for one-and-two family residential. The Planning Commission was divided on eliminating the garage requirement. Some were concerned about garage stuff being stored outside. Others questioned why we require a garage when they often get used for other things anyway. Currently ADUs are only allowed for detached SF homes. Staff recommends allowing them at additional housing types: Two-family dwellings. Attached single-family dwellings. Neighborhood Commercial district (NC) – as part of a commercial use, but detached ADUs would not be allowed. In the pre-UDC neighborhood commercial district, apartments were allowed as part of the commercial use. The most likely effect would be for two family dwellings with walkout basements or other spaces within the existing building to create (or legalize) a new unit as an ADU. Less likely would be construction of a detached ADU or an addition creating an ADU. Policy Discussion #5 - Allow ADUs in additional housing types New possible locations for ADUs: Brown: Two- unit residential Yellow: Attached single-family Clarify difference between landscaping sales and landscape contractors. Include “bagsters” in definition of portable storage containers. Only subdivisions that divide land are subject to city review and approval. Clarify that other city staff can review Type 1 review applications. Clarify timeline for site plan improvements for zoning applications. Require only a Type 1 site plan review for replacement of buildings in same footprint/height, and for airport facilities. Increase glazing requirements in TC, NC, and C districts. Allow flexibility for design requirements in TC district. Increase the radius for a shadow effects study. Clarifications and Corrections Remove requirement to provide private recreational uses in a Planned Development. Remove specialized care facilities with 6 or less residents from the NC and C districts. Reduce redundancies in the notes section of the principal use table. Requirement for directional signage for multiple family dwellings. Correct internal conflicts for building setbacks in the TC district. Re-organize requirements for garages and carports, including adding a minimum size for a garage. Clarify that micro-unit dwellings are subject to city’s density requirements. Clarifications and Corrections Set weekend hours for seasonal agricultural sales. Clarify that airport hangers are not subject to the prohibition on corrugated metal exteriors. Clarify the requirements for tree removal and replacement. Allow ground mechanical equipment between the building the street right-of-way if required by a utility company. Parking lot setbacks adjacent to residential uses can be reduced if a permanent screen is installed. Add paver standards for driveways and parking lots. Add a cross-reference to chapter 4 for grading requirements. Clarify miscellaneous sign requirements, including content neutrality, height, measuring readerboards, freestanding sign setbacks, and temporary sign requirements. Clarifications and Corrections Hold the public hearing to receive comments Consider recommending approval of proposed UDC amendments Staff Recommendation Planning Commission Action Requested Approve the proposed UDC amendments
