This request is associated with recent infrastructure improvements in the vicinity of 55th Avenue North and Brooklyn Boulevard PC Minutes 11-14-19 -2-DRAFT Ms. McIntosh reviewed a request for Preliminary and Final Plat approval, which was requested by the City of Brooklyn Center for certain roadway improvements recently implemented in the vicinity of 55th Avenue North and Brooklyn Boulevard. She added this request affects seven properties that are owned by the City of Brooklyn Center, the Economic Development Authority (EDA) of Brooklyn Center, and School District No. 281 (Robbinsdale School District), respectively. The re-plat would result in consolidation of the aforementioned properties to two parcels, with the intent of conveying the north parcel to the school district. The south parcel would be retained for the time being, with plans to sell at a later date. Ms. McIntosh stated the request is associated with the Brooklyn Boulevard Phase I Reconstruction and Modernization project, during which the Brooklyn Boulevard Frontage Road near the intersection of 55th Avenue North was realigned to ease traffic congestion and allow additional vehicle stacking for drivers eastbound on 55th Avenue North. She added the frontage road is the primary access to Northport Elementary School. She noted the plat will require newly dedicated right-of-way that reflects the realignment of the frontage road; however, there are no plans to vacate the existing City right-of-way due to existing underground infrastructure. Ms. McIntosh stated City Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend City Council approval of the preliminary and final plat for Brooklyn Center EDA First Addition and dedication of City right-of-way, subject to the conditions of approval listed in the staff report and associated resolution. OPEN TO PUBLIC COMMENTS – APPLICATION NO. 2019-016 There was a motion by Commissioner MacMillan, seconded by Commissioner Sweeney, to open the public hearing on Application No. 2019-016. The motion passed unanimously. Randy Cook, resident, stated he owns property to the south of the intersection and project area. He added he does not have any comments but wanted to get more information about the Brooklyn Boulevard project. Chair Christensen stated the primary objective of the realignment was to make the junction safer and ease traffic congestion. Ms. McIntosh stated that the affected portion south of the 55th Avenue North intersection is owned by the City/EDA and is guided in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan for medium density residential use. She added City Staff has no immediate plans to sell the property but would need to address the zoning when it came time. Commissioner Tade stated residents of this area will be notified by the City of there are any changes in zoning status. Ms. McIntosh confirmed this, adding rezoning requires public notification. PC Minutes 11-14-19 -3-DRAFT MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENTS (HEARING) There was a motion by Commissioner Schonning, seconded by Commissioner Tade, to close the public hearing on Application No. 2019-016. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Schonning stated he recently drove through the area, and the new intersection configuration is very effective, and a vast improvement, as he often avoided this area due to the traffic issues. ACTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2019-014 REGARDING THE RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION OF PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2019-016. There was a motion by Commissioner Tade, seconded by Commissioner Sweeney, to approve Planning Commission RESOLUTION NO. 2019-014. Voting in favor: Chair Christensen, Commissioners, MacMillan, Schonning, Sweeney, and Tade. And the following voted against the same: None The motion passed unanimously. Chair Christensen stated this request will be reviewed by the City Council at their November 25, 2019 Regular Meeting. 6b) Planning Commission Application No. 2019-017 (Public Hearing) Applicant: Real Estate Equities, LLC Summary: The Applicant is requesting consideration of a request for preliminary and final plat approval of Northway Crossing Addition. This request is associated with a previously approved project to construct a combined total of 270 units of independent senior living and workforce apartments on the Subject Property, located at 5801 Xerxes Avenue North. Ms. McIntosh reviewed a request for preliminary and final plat approval for Northway Crossing Addition. She added that while Planned Unit Developments allow for more than one building to be constructed on a parcel, the financing of the respective project requires that the two buildings be on separate parcels. The applicant, Real Estate Equities (REE), is therefore requesting that the property be subdivided into two parcels: a 2.66-acre parcel for the senior apartments on the northeast portion of the property, and a 3.22-acre parcel for the workforce apartments on the southwest portion of the property. Ms. McIntosh stated the Assistant City Engineer reviewed this application and requested a preliminary plat that identifies all easements on the property. She added alterations are required PC Minutes 11-14-19 -4-DRAFT to ensure that pedestrian ramps are located entirely within the City right-of-way. She noted a 15- foot minimum building setback would need to be maintained, as was approved under the original site and building plan approval, but there will be a new lot line running through the middle of the property. Ms. McIntosh stated the applicant has provided exhibits showing proposed sidewalk, ingress and egress, common parking, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer plans. She added the City Attorney has confirmed that an amendment to the PUD Agreement is not required assuming there are no proposed alterations to the orientation of the building or site. She noted the plat will be recorded at the time of closing or after as the property is not currently owned by the applicant. Ms. McIntosh stated City Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend City Council approval of preliminary and final plat for Northway Crossing, subject to conditions listed in the Staff Report and associated resolution. OPEN TO PUBLIC COMMENTS – APPLICATION NO. 2019-017 There was a motion by Commissioner MacMillan, seconded by Commissioner Sweeney, to open the public hearing on Application No. 2019-017. The motion passed unanimously. Ms. McIntosh stated one phone call was received from a resident who expressed concerns about children being allowed in the senior living apartments which could cause senior citizens to be evicted. The resident clarified that she had friends who had lived in senior apartment buildings that were evicted. Ms. McIntosh noted she informed the resident that site and building plan approval had already been approved, but would forward her concerns on to the applicant. MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENTS (HEARING) There was a motion by Commissioner Schonning, seconded by Commissioner Tade, to close the public hearing on Application No. 2019-017. The motion passed unanimously. Chair Christensen asked whether there are any regulations regarding nuisance and occupancy, and having children staying in the senior component. Patrick Ostrom, Development Partner at Real Estate Equities, stated, with regard to senior living apartments, the primary lease holder must be over 55 years of age. He added children and relatives can visit or live there. He noted it is not anticipated that this will be a problem, and in any case, the goal of the development is to create an overall sense of community between the workforce housing and senior living components. Commissioner Tade stated the property is zoned PUD-TOD. She asked whether that designation is included in the Zoning Ordinance. Ms. McIntosh confirmed that the subject property was re- zoned to TOD or “Transit Oriented Development” to reflect the future land use designations outlined in the 2040 comprehensive plan, as this area is designated as TOD. PC Minutes 11-14-19 -5-DRAFT Commissioner Tade asked whether the two separate parcels will be taxed at the same rate. Mr. Ostrom confirmed this, adding TIF was created for the project, and both components are affordable and qualify for 4D tax rate classification. He added the financial lenders required two separate loans, but the properties will have shared easements and operate as one property. Chair Christensen requested clarification regarding a proposed sidewalk easement. Ms. McIntosh stated a sidewalk easement is required that would run along Bass Lake Road. ACTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2019-015 REGARDING THE RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION OF PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2019-017. There was a motion by Commissioner Sweeney, seconded by Commissioner Tade, to approve Planning Commission RESOLUTION NO. 2019-015. Voting in favor: Chair Christensen, Commissioners, MacMillan, Schonning, Sweeney, and Tade. And the following voted against the same: None The motion passed unanimously. 7.DISCUSSION ITEMS 7a) City Notification Policy Ms. McIntosh requested the Commission’s feedback and comments on the City’s public notification process, which currently follows State Statute minimum requirements. She added public hearings require notification to property owners within 350 feet of an affected property, and a notice is published in the City newspaper. She noted City Staff is concerned with increasing transparency and community engagement, both of which are important priorities, and additional notification measures are being considered. Ms. McIntosh stated signage has been developed with help from the Public Works Department that is installed on properties under consideration for development or re-development, and on the City’s priority sites, such as the Opportunity Site and 57th and Logan site. She added an example of the signage being used to inform is the former Jerry’s Food site, which indicated a development proposal was under review and to contact the City with any questions. Ms. McIntosh stated she has contacted a few other neighboring communities to see what guidelines they follow. She added the City of Fridley follows the state-minimum 350-foot rule, and the developer schedules neighborhood meetings for larger scale projects that City Staff does not attend. She noted the City of Crystal follows a 500-foot minimum requirement for most public notifications, and City Staff attends neighborhood meetings scheduled by the developer for larger-scale projects, although staff does not necessarily participate in the discussion. PC Minutes 11-14-19 -6-DRAFT Ms. McIntosh stated the communities of Hopkins and Arden Hills also have requirements for neighborhood meetings. Ms. McIntosh asked the Commissioners for their feedback and comments regarding their perspectives on the public notification policy, and what the City can do to inform and engage residents of upcoming development proposals. She added the notification policy should not extend the development time frame, but the public should have a right to have their concerns addressed. She asked whether a stand-alone public notification document should be considered. Commissioner Tade stated the Sun Post is the City’s newspaper but not very many residents read it. She added most people get their information online. Commissioner Sweeney stated residents should take responsibility for finding the information they need. Chair Christensen stated he registered to receive regular City notifications on the City website. He added maybe residents can opt in to receive public hearing notices. Ms. McIntosh stated a City website redesign is being considered. She inquired if it would be beneficial to have public notices posted on the City’s homepage. Chair Christensen agreed. Chair Christensen stated he would support a 500-foot public notice requirement, so that both sides of a street would receive notice about a planning request. He added, for instance, public notice regarding the Maranatha project should have been given to residents on both sides of Toledo Avenue North. Ms. McIntosh stated neighborhood group meetings are helpful for getting out information and could be required whether there is a public hearing or not. She asked whether there should be a threshold to determine whether a developer is required to schedule a neighborhood meeting. Commissioner Tade stated she likes the idea of a neighborhood meeting requirement. She added concerns about residents not having access to information would be alleviated. Commissioner Sweeney stated she would support neighborhood meetings if a member of City Staff attends, so it does not turn negative and staff knows what is going on. Commissioner Tade agreed. Commissioner Tade requested clarification regarding how other communities schedule and plan neighborhood meetings. Ms. McIntosh stated Fridley leaves the responsibility on the developer, but Crystal makes space available for neighborhood meetings at the Community Center, on-site or elsewhere, if needed. Chair Christensen stated he has mixed feelings about neighborhood meetings, but clarified that City Staff should attend. He added a City Councilmember and City Staff person attended the PC Minutes 11-14-19 -7-DRAFT Maranatha neighborhood meeting, which was a productive meeting, and provided an opportunity for residents to ask questions. Commissioner Sweeney stated she would support a threshold for neighborhood meetings, as they are not necessary for every planning application. Ms. McIntosh stated criteria can be included that is reasonable and fair to residents, but also productive for the developer. Chair Christensen asked whether the developer would schedule and plan the meeting, or if City Staff would be involved in that. Ms. McIntosh stated Hennepin County has a Locate & Notify mapping application that is available to the public that can be used to generate mailing labels for either property owners or residents residing at a particular location within a certain buffer distance. Ms. McIntosh stated City Staff have considered the use of other forms of social media for public notices, as it would reach younger residents who are often difficult to engage in public process. Commissioner Schonning stated the City of Minneapolis has started a public engagement process that includes paid Neighborhood Leader positions. He added neighborhood associations are an important trend as they give cities access to neighborhoods and provide information to residents. Ms. McIntosh noted that the City recently hired Neighborhood Engagement Liaisons to improve public engagement in the City and form relationships with residents. Ms. McIntosh stated, in summary, the Planning Commission has indicated the City newspaper notice is not sufficient; residents have a responsibility to be proactive and stay informed in their community; the Statute requirement of 350 feet is not sufficient, and a 500-foot public notice minimum is recommended, to cover both sides of the street where a public project is being proposed. Commissioner Sweeney stated the development signage, such as at the former Jerry’s Foods site, is a good step in providing public awareness. Ms. McIntosh stated the Planning Commission has indicated support for neighborhood meetings, as long as City Staff are present, but do not see the need for every single Planning Commission application to require a neighborhood meeting and would like to have a threshold for requiring one. Chair Christensen suggested City Staff could provide guidance about what the project threshold might be. Commissioner MacMillan stated residents can be encouraged to sign up for City email notifications. PC Minutes 11-14-19 -8-DRAFT Commissioner Sweeney stated a link on the website homepage to public notice information is a great idea. Ms. McIntosh agreed, but added the City website may be changing and might offer an opportunity to re-fresh how residents are notified. 7b) Upcoming Planning Commissioner Term Expirations and Renewal Ms. McIntosh stated there are two Commissioner terms set to expire at the end of 2019. She noted that she was surprised last year when four Commissioner terms were up for renewal, but was glad when everyone opted to renew their terms. Commissioner Sweeney stated she plans to renew her term, and she filled out a new application. Ms. McIntosh stated she asked the City Clerk to check into applications that have been received for the open Planning Commissioner seat. Ms. McIntosh noted that she is aware of at least one application that has been received, but to her knowledge, Mayor and City Council have not discussed filling of the seat. 7c) City Council Meeting Update Ms. McIntosh reviewed the City Council’s November 12, 2019 meeting, with updates provided by Community Development Director Meg Beekman. At the Work Session, the City Council reviewed proposed plans for Phase 1 of the Opportunity Site development, including 300-350 apartments in a mix of market rate and affordable units; a movie theatre; entrepreneurial market; and restaurants. The City Council expressed support of the development timeline, and directed City Staff to work with the developer to accomplish the City’s goals related to the Opportunity Site. Ms. McIntosh stated an increase in community engagement as well as necessary environmental work, and other options proposed have pushed the master plan work out longer than originally anticipated. 7d) Becoming Brooklyn Center Project Update (Agenda Item 7e) Ms. McIntosh stated four meetings are planned for the Brooklyn Center Zoning Task Force, one of which has already been held, and a second meeting is scheduled for December 4, 2019 at 5:30 p.m. She added the meetings are focused on zoning, with additional discussion on the Sign Code, which could evolve into a separate sub-committee. Other items for review are the Shoreland Ordinance, MRCCA requirements, and platting. Commissioners Koenig and Schonning are both members of the Zoning Task Force. Ms. McIntosh stated the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor Land Use Study is in beginning stages, with consultants from Bolton & Menk putting together background data and market feasibility in preparation for a kick-off engagement event in January 2020. A health impact assessment will study a variety of health scenarios along the corridor. PC Minutes 11-14-19 -9-DRAFT Ms. McIntosh stated the City Council approved a resolution for Hyde Development to conduct environmental and asbestos assessments, as well as geotechnical borings, at the former Sears site. She added these studies will be completed with grant funding. 7e) City Development Project Update (Agenda Item 7d) Ms. McIntosh stated the Luther Mazda Mitsubishi dealership is open for business, as well as Casey’s convenience store and gas station. She added Casey’s General Store recently had a grand opening event, and the Fairfield Inn is still under construction. She noted Caribou Corporate Headquarters is planning a major renovation project. Ms. McIntosh stated renovation projects at the elementary school and high school have been underway for some time now. The plan is for the high school students to move back into the STEAM Middle and High School by fall of 2020. Commissioner Sweeney requested an update on the former Target site. Ms. McIntosh stated the City is working on purchasing the site as it covers approximately 9-acres of the Opportunity Site area. She added more information will be available soon. Ms. McIntosh stated that an Xfinity store is moving into the last open retail space of Building H, which is home to Qdoba. She added a Cajun restaurant will be moving in behind Michael’s in Building 6, which was originally constructed with a restaurant use in mind. Ms. McIntosh stated City Staff are scheduling a courtesy review with Frank Gatlin at an upcoming City Council meeting to discuss construction of a new pad site east of Walmart in Shingle Creek Crossing, but one of the proposed uses would require an amendment to the Central Commerce Overlay District, which was recently amended. Ms. McIntosh stated the Planning Commission’s December 2019 meeting will include an agenda item requesting re-issuance of a Special Use Permit for the event center that was approved by Planning Commission and City Council back in 2018. There are no plans to alter the already approved site and building plans; therefore, the request is solely for re-issuance of the use permit. Chair Christensen requested an update on the housing development near the Sanctuary. Ms. McIntosh stated the project as proposed by Coalition Development is on hold at this time, although they appear to remain interested in the site. Commissioner Schonning stated he attended the American Planning Association (APA) Minnesota 2019 Planning Conference at Breezy Point in September, at which many interesting topics were addressed. He added walkability was a major topic of discussion. He noted he recently visited the Hopkins Artery, which was named one of America’s “Great Streets” by the APA this year. PC Minutes 11-14-19 -10-DRAFT 8.OTHER BUSINESS There were no Other Business items. 9.ADJOURNMENT There was a motion by Commissioner Sweeney, seconded by Commissioner MacMillan, to adjourn the Planning Commission meeting. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 8:54 p.m. _______________________________ _______________________________ Ginny McIntosh, Secretary Randall Christensen, Chair ________________ App. No. 2019-018 PC 12/12/2019 Page 1 Planning Commission Report Meeting Date: December 12, 2019 Application No. 2019-018 Applicant: Tashitaa Tufaa and Mike Brady Location: 6440 James Circle North Request: Special Use Permit for an Event Center (Re-issuance) INTRODUCTION Tashitaa Tufaa and Mike Brady (the “Applicants”) are requesting consideration of the re-issuance of a Special Use Permit for the property located at 6440 James Circle North (the “Subject Property”)—refer to Exhibit A. The Subject Property was formerly home to the AMF Earle Brown Lanes, which closed in 2015. The building and site subsequently sat vacant until 2017, when Tashitaa Tufaa purchased the Subject Property. Tashitaa Tufaa submitted an application for site and building plan and Special Use Permit approval that was reviewed by the Planning Commission on March 15, 2018 and City Council on March 26, 2018 and resulted in unanimous approvals for both the site and building plan and Special Use Permit (refer to Exhibit B). Section 35-220 (Special Use Permits) notes that, “when a special use permit has been issued pursuant to the provisions of this ordinance, such permit shall expire without further action by the Planning Commission or the City Council unless the applicant or his assignee or successor commences work up on the Subject Property within one year of the date the special use permit is granted, or unless before the expiration of the one year period the applicant shall apply for an extension thereof by filling out and submitting to the Secretary of the Planning Commission a “Special Use Permit” application requesting such extension and paying an additional fee in an amount set forth by the City Council resolution.” Although City Staff was in communication with the Applicant regarding the original Special Use Permit, the Applicant was not in the position to commence with construction or request an extension prior to the March 26, 2019 expiration. Mike Brady (“Co-Applicant” and Owner’s Representative) indicated in an email that there were two main reasons why construction did not commence prior to the original Special Use Permit expiring: (1)Applicant and Property Owner, Tashitaa Tufaa’s bus company (Metropolitan Transportation Network, Inc.) became more successful and the growth kept him fully engaged through the year; and (2)Without the development experience necessary, Mr. Tufaa was reliant on the assistance of others to pull together a plan for the event center, restaurant, and bar, which took time. Mr. Brady indicated that Brady Real Estate Development, Inc. has since been retained by Mr. Tufaa to move the project forward. Since the original Special Use Permit was issued, Mr. Tufaa has completed significant clean-up and demolition work to the interior of the building on the Subject Property. Additionally, Mr. Tufaa has proceeded with obtaining three bids for construction of the event center. and met with a financial institution to address project funding. •Application Filed: 11/12/2019 •Review Period (60-day) Deadline: 01/11/2020 •Extension Declared: N/A •Extended Review Period Deadline: N/A ________________ App. No. 2019-018 PC 12/12/2019 Page 2 Although the site and building plan was approved and does not require a new review (as there are no alterations proposed to the plans previously approved), the use cannot not be implemented on the Subject Property until the Applicant receives approval for the re-issuance of a Special Use Permit to operate the proposed event center, restaurant, and bar. The request for issuance of a Special Use Permit requires that a public hearing be scheduled. An Affidavit of Publication was received, confirming publication of a public hearing notice in the Brooklyn Center Sun Post on November 28, 2019 (Exhibit C). Mail notices were also sent out to property owners in accordance with Section 35-220 (Special Use Permits) of the Brooklyn Center Zoning Ordinance. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING STANDARDS Land Use Plan: RB - Retail Business Neighborhood: Shingle Creek Current Zoning: C2 (Commerce) District Surrounding Zoning: North: I1 (Industrial Park) District East: C2 (Commerce) District South: C2 (Commerce) District West: C2 (Commerce) District Site Area: Approximately 4.03 acres BACKGROUND The approximately 35,462-square foot building was originally approved for and constructed in 1978 for use as the Earle Brown Bowl (bowling alley) under Planning Application Nos. 78023 and 78024, following site and building plan and Special Use Permit approvals by the Planning Commission and City Council. The approval of the Special Use Permits under these applications allowed for live entertainment and a bowling alley in what was then zoned I1 (Industrial Park) District. This allowed for the Subject Property to function as a bowling alley, restaurant, and game room/recreational facility. Additional Planning Commission applications were subsequently approved by the City for: 1.Expansion of lounge area and exterior remodeling of Earle Brown Bowl (1982); 2.Addition to café for new cooler storage service area and waiting room (1987); and 3.Requests to build a temporary outdoor patio, and outdoor sand volleyball courts for summer league (1991). The bowling alley and restaurant closed in April 2015 and sat vacant until 2017 when Applicant Tashitaa Tufaa purchased the property. The Applicants are proposing to redevelop the former bowling alley and restaurant into an event center with a focus on weddings and other special events. As part of this proposal, the re-establishment of a permanent restaurant and bar within the facility is proposed, along with accessory kitchen, bathrooms, bridal suites, and office facilities. The site and building plan for the proposed event center, restaurant, and bar was approved by City Council on March 26, 2018 under City Council Resolution No. 2018-64 (Resolution Regarding the Recommended Disposition of Planning Commission Application No. 2018-002 Submitted by Tashitaa ________________ App. No. 2019-018 PC 12/12/2019 Page 3 Tufaa of Mississippi Valley Properties, LLC, for Approval of a Site and Building Plan and Issuance of a Special Use Permit to Convert a Former Bowling Alley and Restaurant into an Event Center in the C2 (Commerce) District (Located at 6440 James Circle North)). The Applicants have indicated that there are no plans to alter the previously approved site and building plans; therefore, there is no need for new site and building plan approvals. Map 1. Subject Property Location. SPECIAL USE PERMIT REVIEW The Applicant is requesting re-issuance of a Special Use Permit to allow for an event center, restaurant, and bar. A Special Use Permit was initially issued by the City Council on March 26, 2018; however, the Special Use Permit subsequently expired when no building permit applications were submitted to the City for redevelopment of the former bowling alley into an event center. The original Applicant, Tashitaa Tufaa, and new co-Applicant Mike Brady have indicated that they are now in the position to proceed with the project within the bounds of the requirements for Special Use Permits as outlined under Section 35-220 of the Zoning Code, including the stipulation that work commence on the Subject Property within one year of the date that the Special Use Permit is granted. According to Section 35-220 (Special Use Permits) of the City’s Zoning Ordinance, “Special uses are those which may be required for the public welfare in a given district but which are, in some respects, incompatible with the permitted uses in the district. Before a building or premises is devoted to any use classified as a special use by this ordinance, a special use permit ________________ App. No. 2019-018 PC 12/12/2019 Page 4 must be granted by the City Council.” Section 35-322 (C2 Commerce District) notes that “eating establishments offering live entertainment; recreation and amusement places such as motion picture theaters and legitimate theater; sports arenas, bowling alleys, skating rinks, and gymnasiums, all provided they do not abut an R1, R2, or R3 district, including an abutment at a street line,” are allowed through approval and issuance of a Special Use Permit. It should be noted that the Subject Property, located at 6440 James Circle North, does not abut any R1, R2, or R3 properties. The Subject Property is currently surrounded by three hotels (Super 8, Norwood Suites, and Quality Inn), Jambo Africa (restaurant), a Denny’s Restaurant, a vacant City EDA- owned property, and the FBI Regional Headquarters. Light industrial properties lie to the north of the Subject Property (across Freeway Boulevard). Per the Standards of Special Use Permits, a Special Use Permit may be granted by the City Council after demonstration by evidence that all of the following are met: 1.The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the special use will promote and enhance the general public welfare and will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, or comfort. The former use of the Subject Property was through issuance of two Special Use Permits. These Special Use Permits (for the uses of “bowling alley” and “live entertainment”) were en force for a period of 37 years before the ultimate closing of the Earle Brown Lanes in 2015. Given the intent of the Applicant to establish a “premier” event center, and “upscale” restaurant and bar, staff is to the understanding that it is not the intent of the Applicant to establish a use that would be detrimental to the overall public health, safety, morals, and comfort of the general public. It is hoped that the establishment of the proposed uses would provide an enhancement to the surrounding uses. 2.The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. The Subject Property was home to the Earle Brown Lanes (bowling alley), a restaurant/bar, and game room from 1978 until its closing in 2015. Earle Brown Lanes was approved by issuance of Special Use Permits for the use of a bowling alley and allowance of live entertainment. Although the Subject Property has not been open to the public for four years, the 37 previous years were spent catering to residents and visitors as a place of entertainment and dining. The Applicant intends to overhaul the interior of the Subject Property for reuse as an entertainment center, although in a slightly different capacity. The Applicant intends for the majority of the event center business to emphasize wedding events, although the facility would also provide an alternative location for hosting proms, private parties, and corporate, community, and educational events. As proposed, the facility would feature bridal suites, ancillary office and meeting space, and a “full-service, upscale” restaurant and bar. Approval of the bar and serving of liquor by staff of the facility for events would be contingent upon issuance of a City liquor license. ________________ App. No. 2019-018 PC 12/12/2019 Page 5 It is not anticipated that the proposed event center will be injurious to the use of properties in the immediate vicinity, nor substantially diminish or impair property values in the neighborhood. The Applicants acknowledged that, as Mr. Tufaa does not have a background in running event centers, he reached out to co-Applicant Mike Brady and Brady Real Estate Development, Inc. to move the project forward. Substantial interior demolition work was completed in fall (2019), as well as the demolition of an existing exterior accessory shed; however, construction of an event center, restaurant, and bar cannot take place without the re-issuance of a Special Use Permit. 3.The establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. It is not anticipated that the establishment of the requested special use would impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding properties for uses permitted in the district. The Subject Property is currently surrounded by like-zoned C2 (Commerce) District properties. With the exception of the City EDA-owned property (vacant land) along Interstates 694/94, the surrounding land is currently developed. It is hoped that the re-issuance of a Special Use Permit for an event center would allow for improvements at the surrounding properties. With regard to the City’s Earle Brown Heritage Center (EBHC), located across Interstates 694/94 and to the south, the Applicant has emphasized that his intent is to provide services that are complementary to EBHC, rather than competitive. At maximum, the three banquet rooms combined would provide occupancy of no more than 578 persons. The proposed restaurant and bar would be open to the public and would provide seating for 101 persons. To provide oversight of the operation, the Applicant still intends to hire a building manager, a chef and restaurant manager, and bridal consultant. 4.Adequate measurements have been or will be taken to provide ingress, egress, and parking so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. Staff met multiple times with the Applicant Tashitaa Tufaa’s architect and real estate broker to work through the proposed uses and overall business plan for the site prior to submittal of the initial Planning Commission Application (2018-002) for site and building plan, and Special Use Permit approval. Given the numerous uses of an event center, restaurant and bar, office space, and kitchen and catering staff, concerns were initially presented by staff regarding the ability to provide sufficient on-site parking. The Applicant explored potential alternatives to providing off-site parking; however, it was determined that there were no alternatives to provide for off-site parking that would meet the minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. These requirements stipulated that any off- street parking be located a maximum of 800 feet from the principal building, and that the land on which the off-site parking was located be used solely for parking, among other requirements. The Applicant inquired as to whether the City’s EDA-owned property located at 1601 James Circle North (4.92 acres) was an option; however, it was determined by City staff that the use of the site as a parking lot would not be the highest and best use for the property. As the Applicant ________________ App. No. 2019-018 PC 12/12/2019 Page 6 owns a bus company, it was also suggested by the Applicant that perhaps employees could shuttle from the Applicant’s property in Minneapolis, located six minutes by car, during higher use events; however, this would not meet the Zoning Ordinance requirement that the property used for off-site parking be used solely for parking. Staff eventually worked with Architect Peter Hill to revise the proposed plans to alter the banquet room layouts and lower the maximum occupancy of the rooms. In order to meet the minimum parking requirements, the Applicant has retained the existing ingress and egress on the site, rather than adding an additional driveway curb cut. This access would still allow for full access to Freeway Boulevard by turning south or north onto James Circle North, as it is a loop road. As Special Use Permits allow for conditions to be placed in conjunction with issuance of a Special Use Permit, staff recommends that the Applicant adhere to the maximum occupancies outlined in the submitted plans. Should issues arise concerning clientele parking on City streets or adjacent parking lots (e.g. Super 8, Norwood Suites, Denny’s), staff may request the Applicant complete a Travel Demand Management Plan. City staff reiterated that James Circle North and Freeway Boulevard were not to be used for event parking. 5.The special use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. Per the submitted plans, the Applicant has no plans to alter the exterior of the building in such a way as to render the building or site non-conforming. With regard to the minimum parking requirements, the Applicant has worked with staff to revise the site and interior plans as necessary to address the parking requirements for the multiple uses proposed. Other than the request for a Special Use Permit to allow for eating establishments in conjunction with live entertainment, the proposed restaurant and office uses are generally permitted within the C2 (Commerce) District. As previously mentioned, the serving of liquor will require separate issuance of a City liquor license. Based on staff findings, staff recommends Planning Commission recommendation of the requested re- issuance of a Special Use Permit for an event center for the property located at 6440 James Circle North (Subject Property); subject to the Applicant complying with the comments outlined in the Approval Conditions noted below. APPROVAL CONDITIONS: Staff recommends the following conditions be attached to any positive recommendation on the approval of Application No. 2019-018 for 6440 James Circle North (Subject Property): 1.The Applicants shall comply with all previously outlined conditions of approval as outlined under Planning Commission Application No. 2018-002 and associated City Council Resolution No. 2018- 064 (Resolution Regarding the Recommended Disposition of Planning Commission Application No. 2018-002 Submitted by Tashitaa Tufaa of Mississippi Valley Properties, LLC, for Approval of a Site and Building Plan and Issuance of a Special Use Permit to Convert a Former Bowling Alley and Restaurant into an Event Center in the C2 (Commerce) District (Located at 6440 James Circle North)), including all comments as outlined in the Assistant City Engineer’s Memorandum dated March 5, 2018. ________________ App. No. 2019-018 PC 12/12/2019 Page 7 Should the Special Use Permit be re-issued, the Applicants will have one year (from date of any Special Use Permit granting by City Council) to obtain all relevant permits and commence work on the Subject Property for the proposed event center, restaurant, and bar. Should the Applicants fail to do so, the Special Use Permit shall expire unless a formal request for extension is submitted in the form of a complete Planning Commission Application prior to permit expiration.
