One of the Commission's functions is to hold public hearings. In the matters concerned in these hearings, the Commission makes recommendations to the City Council. The City Council makes all final decisions in these matters. APPROVAL OF MINUTES—JUNE 12, 2014 There was a motion by Commissioner Christensen, seconded by Commissioner Schonning, to approve the minutes of the June 12, 2014 meeting as submitted. The motion passed unanimously. APPLICATION NO 2014-011 FARMER'S MARKET,LLC,BCK ENTERPRISES,LLC Chair Burfeind introduced Application No. 2014-011, consideration of a minor amendment to the 2011 MaxSun/Sun Foods Planned Unit Development (PUD) allowing a seasonal farmer's market on the property located at 6350 Brooklyn Boulevard. (See Planning Commission Report dated 6-25-14 for Application No. 2014-011.) Mr. Benetti provided a brief background on the history of approvals for the redevelopment of this property going back to 1996. He stated the owners of the property are requesting approval of a PUD Amendment to allow a seasonal farmer's market within a certain area of the main parking lot on Friday, Saturday and Sundays from late spring through early fall. Mr. Benetti stated as part of the May 23, 2011 Rainbow's Garden City Second Addition plat review,the parking calculations were as follows: • Required Parking for All Uses (calc. at 5.5 spaces per 1,000 sf. of gross floor area): • MaxSun @ 78,037 sf. =430 spaces • Walgreens @ 13,766 sf. =76 spaces • AutoZone @ 9,646 sf. = 53 spaces Page 1 6-25-14 He stated the site has 562 parking spaces with 57 for Walgreens, 33 for AutoZone and 472 for MaxSun. He added Walgreens was granted 24 off-site parking spaces on the original Rainbow Foods (now MaxSun) lot, which equates to 81 spaces reserved for this use and AutoZone was granted 18 spaces on the MaxSun parcel, which equates to 51 spaces reserved to this use which leaves 430 spaces for MaxSun customers. He added the overall site meets parking requirements with three excess spaces. Mr. Benetti stated staff feels the loss of the 49 parking spaces during weekend hours would have little, if any, effect upon the overall use and enjoyment of customers of MaxSun, Walgreens or AutoZone. Commissioner Christensen asked if outdoor cooking would be allowed under a different type permit. Mr. Benetti replied any food preparation for cooking and selling to the public would need approval a separate food handlers permit or license through Hennepin County Health Department, which is doubtful they would grant such a license due to strict and stringent rules for cooking and serving food [for sale] to the public. He added he has not observed any type of food sales or services at the Farmer's Market on this site. Commissioner Christensen asked if food trucks would be allowed at the Farmer's Market. Mr. Benetti responded issues regarding such conditions or uses could be added as an additional condition and should be addressed to the applicant. Commissioner Schonning stated that it is no joke that parking is an issue during the Farmer's Market. He added he has frequented the Farmer's Market and it is very busy and he has had to park as far over as the Auto Zone lot. He also stated the food truck issue is one that should be addressed. He doesn't feel they need to encourage that on this site since it is already busy and parking is tight. Mr. Benetti responded that any parking spot that is available is there for any customer to any of the retail buildings and uses on the site. He stated he did not know the site was so busy on the weekends and appreciates that information so observations can be made so the Farmer's Market does not have a major impact on the site. Commissioner Schonning stated he likes that this plan defines where parking should take place on the site so as not to inhibit traffic flow. Mr. Benetti stated there were previous complaints about driving lanes and access aisles being temporarily blocked during these events, and management should address that or the police department can be involved to resolve parking violations. Chair Burfeind asked if there had been any complaints or concerns regarding the Farmer's Market. Mr. Benetti responded he is not aware of any recent or registered complaints at this time; but a condition of approval is they must maintain all parking and drive aisles and keep it clean. Page 2 6-25-14 PUBLIC HEARING—APPLICATION NO. 2014-011 There was a motion by Commissioner Schonning, seconded by Commissioner Harstad, to open the public hearing on Application No. 2014-011, at 7:22 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. Chair Burfeind called for comments from the public. Ms. Myrna Kragness-Knauth, 3401 63`d Ave N, stated she does not have an objection to the Farmer's Market but has an objection to the garbage that blows in her yard from the retail businesses on the corner. She stated this spring she took two big garbage bags over to them that she collected over the winter and when the wind comes through, the loose garbage blows and ends up in her yard. She added she visits the Farmer's Market and enjoys having them in the neighborhood, but hopes the approval would include consideration of the garbage issue on the site. Mr. Greg Heck, representing the management of the Farmer's Market and BCK Enterprises, stated he understands his concerns with the garbage and added they send out people every morning to pick up the garbage and they try to stay on top of it. He stated he would not want food preparation, sales or food trucks on the site. No one else appeared for the public hearing. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING There was a motion by Commissioner Christensen, seconded by Commissioner Harstad, to close the public hearing on Application No. 2014-011. The motion passed unanimously. The Chair called for further discussion or questions from the Commissioners. Mr. Benetti stated he appreciates that a sweep is done of the property but would like to be assured that the entire site, front and back, be maintained especially after the Farmer's Market closes. He added if the Commission would like to amend Condition No. 8 to state the entire site must be picked up and kept clean daily,they could do so. Mr. Heck stated they pick up a huge amount of garbage daily and cannot control it 24-hours, and he is concerned with a stipulation that makes them at fault for a single piece of garbage found on the site. Mr. Heck added the problem is garbage is thrown on the ground by the general public and the retailers in the Farmer's Market are diligent about cleaning up their space. Mr. Benetti replied the main concern is to clean up the back side of the site to keep garbage from blowing into the neighborhood and he is confident with Mr. Heck's statements, he will keep on top of it. Chair Burfeind stated regardless of what business is there, the zoning code says a property must be maintained and kept clean regardless of the cost so as not to disturb the neighborhood. He added if there are any issues, it can be addressed through Code Enforcement or approval and requirements of the PUD approvals. Page 3 6-25-14 There was further discussion by the Commission and it was the consensus to not add an additional condition of approval. The Commissioners interposed no objections to approval of the Application. ACTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2014-12 REGARDING THE RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION OF PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO 2014-011 SUBMITTED BY FARMER'S MARKET, LLC (IN CONJUNCTION WITH BCK ENTERPRISES LLC) FOR A MINOR AMENDMENT TO THE MASXUN/SUN FOODS PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (6300-6350 BROOKLYN BOULEVARD) There was a motion by Commissioner Christensen, seconded by Commissioner Harstad, to approve Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014-012. Voting in favor: Chair Burfeind, Commissioners Christensen, Harstad, and Schonning And the following voted against the same: None The motion passed unanimously. The Council will consider the application at its July 14, 2014 meeting; and the Applicant must be present. Major changes to the application as reviewed by the Planning Commission will require that the application be returned to the Commission for reconsideration. APPLICATION NO. 2014-012 SPIRITUAL LIFE CHURCH Chair Burfeind introduced Application No. 2012-012, consideration of a Special Use Permit to allow a group day care facility for up to 65 children within the main church facility for the property located at 6865 Shingle Creek Parkway (See Planning Commission Report dated 6-25- 14 for Application No. 2014-012). Mr. Benetti stated the property is zoned C-1 (Service/Office) and a Group Daycare Facilities are listed as a special use in the C-1 zoning district. He added the facility has applied for state licensing with the Minnesota Department of Human Services, however, City Staff has requested they hold off on granting the program license until the special use permit has been considered and approved by the City of Brooklyn Center. Mr. Benetti provided details regarding the layout and function of the daycare. He also discussed the proposed layout of the playground in what is currently the parking lot and requirements the city will require for fencing/screening around the playground. Mr. Benetti explained a fence is planned around the entire perimeter of the playground area and a secondary fence is planned for the interior of the playground to separate the older kids from younger children. He pointed out the updated plan set for this playground are absent of any fence details and the original plans submitted called for the placement of a 4-foot high chain- linked fence along this outer edge. He added The Applicants were instructed by staff that the C 1 Zone Special Standards requires "....a wood fence not less than four feet in height; or a Council Page 4 6-25-14 approved substitute... " and at the last meeting with church representatives, the Applicants indicated they wished to install a 5-foot high chain-linked fence along this outer perimeter, but would consider a wooden or similar style (PVC maintenance free) type fence if required. He added the applicants were instructed to not put up a fence until final approval was granted; however,they put the fence up already anyway. He added it would appear that with a 5-6 foot high wooden fence, some of the dwellings surrounding the site may be able to see directly into the playground and these sight lines may make the fence limited for its intended use, which some may argue is to screen the activities or reduce noises coming from the playground. Mr. Benetti stated City Code requires a wood fence or suitable alternative and staff feels a wood fence would provide a much more visual and physical feature for vehicles and drivers inside the parking lot to pay closer attention to than a chain linked fence to provide as much protection to the users of this area. He added Planning Staff recommends a solid screen fence of either wood or suitable material is installed along the playground perimeters as a condition of approval, as opposed to an open chain linked fence. Mr. Benetti further explained there are other day care facilities in the R1 zoning district that do not have"a screened fence but have a chained linked fence. He provided visuals of other day care facilities and what types of fencing and screening are on the sites. Mr. Benetti explained the five standards that must be met in order to grant a special use permit and reviewed the city's findings for each standard: a) 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. b) 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. c) 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. d) Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress, egress and parking so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. e) The special use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. Commissioner Harstad stated she understands concerns regarding the splinters of the wood fence but if there are children running around outside, they could attempt to climb a fence, get out and get hurt. Mr. Benetti replied that hopefully staff would be able to monitor the kids and keep Page 5 6-25-14 t them off the fence. He added the ordinance says it must be a 4 ft. fence but doesn't have to be wood if there is an alternative material to provide screening. PUBLIC HEARING—APPLICATION NO. 2014-012 There was a motion by Commissioner Schonning, seconded by Commissioner Christensen, to open the public hearing on Application No. 2014-012, at 7:57 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. Chair Burfeind called for comments from the public. Mr. Kiril Totev, representing Spiritual Life Church, stated they are here tonight to discuss the fence situation and they have no objections to any of the other conditions of approval and have appreciated the help of the planning staff: Mr. Totev explained they decided to go with the chain link rather than a wood fence and knew that the fence had to be approved by the City Council. He added the main reason for the PVC chain link fence is that it looks nicer and it is softer to the touch and they decided to use this fence as they started to get bids and talk with contractors. Mr. Totev continued by stating the contractor they choose was very clear about not installing a privacy fence or plastic version because of the possibility of creating an overheating of the playground and in the last five years the contractor has not installed any wood fences. He added the children are generally less than 4 ft. tall and there is no air flow at the ground level that presents a risk for overheating the kids. Mr. Totev stated this was discussed with staff and Mr. Benetti let them know they should wait until after the City Council meeting to install the fence but it would have been very difficult to install the fence later and so they decided to install it and ask for forgiveness later. He added the only houses that have a clear line of site already have a privacy fence around their property and couldn't see into the playground unless from their second floor. He added even with a 6 ft. fence they would be able to see from their vantage point. He is not sure if the fence is intended to keep people from seeing in or to keep the noise in. Mr. Totev stated they hope the Commission will support their proposal on removing a condition of a wood fence and acknowledging any fence would be acceptable since they already have a fence in place. He said they feel a wood fence would be a detriment and no benefit to the surrounding area of the neighbors. He continued by saying as far as its ability to stop cars from barreling through there, the posts of the fence are very strong and bolted and cemented to the ground. He repeated the main reason not to have a privacy fence is for the health of the children so they are not overheated. He suggested Condition No. 4 be removed since they have installed a 4 ft. fence and the play area is already 12 inches up which creates a 5 ft. fence. Mr. Totev continued by saying the second thing he would like clarification on is Condition No. 9 regarding `approval of the special use permit does not authorize additional signage'. He is not sure what that means. He wants to know if they can add a sign to indicate the child care facility is open. Mr. Benetti replied you can have additional signage but a permit must be obtained and be in compliance with Chapter 34 (SIGN ORDINANCE). He added approval of the Special Use Permit does not give automatic approval of any additional signage. Page 6 6-25-14 CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING There was a motion by Commissioner Schonning, seconded by Commissioner Harstad, to close the public hearing on Application No. 2014-012. The motion passed unanimously. The Chair called for further discussion or questions from the Commissioners. Commissioner Harstad stated she feels the chain link fence would be a better option after hearing the issues of heat in the playground area. Commissioner Schonning stated there is a valid point regarding the effects of the wooden fence on air flow, however, he is inclined to believe it is not exactly what the city ordinance allows but maybe there should be some flexibility since it is located in the C1 zone and not abutting in a R1 zone. He added he is also unhappy that the fence is already in place and the Commission is unable to make a fair and equitable recommendation since they already moved ahead and are looking for forgiveness. Commissioner Harstad asked about the requirements or need of a 4-foot high fence, or can they be required to put in a higher fence, and if approval was not granted, would the fence need to be removed. Mr. Benetti stated if the City Council does not accept this chain-linked style fence as an approved alternative, then yes, it would have to be removed or made to meet Code or City Council approvals. Mr. Benetti stated if the fence was recommended to go higher, there would need to be plausible reasons why. He added the issue at this point is whether or not this material should be allowed as an "approved substitute" and the Commission should make a recommendation with supportable or reasonable findings to the City Council, so they can make final approval. Mr. Benetti added some fences that have been approved have allowed for reduction in the ordinance requirements and since the ordinance is so old, staff is unsure what the intent of the ordinance is. He added the City Code does allow for some flexibility on this issue, which can be considered for approval. Mr. Eitel added the 4-foot high wood fence requirement is only for C1 and C2 zoning districts. Mr. Totev stated for future playgrounds, he suggests the city reviews the requirements for a 4 ft. wood fence and determine the intent of the ordinance to better define and perhaps change it. Commissioner Christensen stated he does not agree with forgiveness and feels they should have planned it out and waited for approval before jumping ahead. He feels this is a good alternative material and does not feel the code should be changed, since the intent could be to provide screening and noise barrier. He added overall he feels this is a good use and the material used is better than a metal fence. He stated he is not pleased with the fact that the applicant did not plan properly and went ahead with construction before receiving approval. Commissioner Schonning stated they did stay in the spirit of the ordinance but would have appreciated that they received approval first before moving ahead. Page 7 6-25-14 Chair Burfeind stated he also feels that the process for the City is very important so Planning Commission, City Council, and staff are all on the same page before moving ahead. He added the fact the process was not followed is disturbing. He continued by saying he understands why it was done but that does not take back it was done without approval. Chair Burfeind stated when screening is discussed with regards to fencing requirements, a chain link fence is not approved. He does feel in this situation it is an acceptable alternative. He does not want this situation to set a precedent with the vision in mind for the city. He agrees it looks good but he does not feel the city code should be revisited because it is a place to start and sets minimum standards. Chair Burfeind also added he is glad to see a new daycare in the city and it is a nice investment to the community. He added any signs being added to the site must adhere to the city code and it is important to get city approval before installing a sign. Commissioner Christensen stated he does not want to see banners hanging from a chain link fence on the site. He added he wants appropriate signage approved by staff and City Council. It was the consensus of the Commission to approve the resolution with a change to Condition No. 4 — "The playground must be enclosed with a 5 ft. vinyl coated chain link fence, which is hereby considered a suitable material, and must maintain a minimum 4-foot high enclosure as measured from the top level of the playground's plastic play-curbs." The Commissioners interposed no objections to approval of the Application. ACTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2014-13 REGARDING THE RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION OF PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2014-13 SUBMITTED BY SPIRITUAL LIFE MINISTRIES FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO OPERATE A GROUP DAYCARE FACILITY IN THE C1 (SERVICE OFFICE) DISTRICT (SPIRITUAL LIFE CHURCH — 6865 SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY) There was a motion by Commissioner Christensen, seconded by Commissioner Schonning, to approve Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014-13. Voting in favor: Chair Burfeind, Commissioners Christensen, Harstad, and Schonning And the following voted against the same: None The motion passed unanimously. The Council will consider the application at its July 14, 2014 meeting. The applicant must be present. Major changes to the application as reviewed by the Planning Commission will require that the application be returned to the Commission for reconsideration. Page 8 6-25-14 DISCUSSION ITEM There were no discussion items. OTHER BUSINESS Chair Burfeind stated he heard there was an applicant for the open position on the Commission. Mr. Benetti replied he had not received information of any official appointments. There was no other business. ADJOURNMENT There was a motion by Commissioner Schonning, seconded by Commissioner Harstad to adjourn the Planning Commission meeting. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 8:42 p.m. Chair Recorded and transcribed by: Rebecca Crass Page 9 6-25-14 3 rBR 'T oEf R I N Planning Commission Report Meeting Date: July 17,2014 Application Filed: 06/23/14 . Review Period(60-day)Deadline: 08/22/14 • Extension Declared:N/A • Extended Review Period Deadline:N/A Application No. 2014-013 Applicant: Two Rivers Investment, Inc. Location: 6840 Humboldt Avenue North Request: Special Use Permit and Minor Site Plan Amendment to allow Conversion of Auto Service and Gas Station to Convenience Store with Gas Services INTRODUCTION Two Rivers Inc. has submitted a request for a Special Use Permit and Minor Site Plan Amendment to convert the existing Two Rivers gas and auto repair station into a convenience retail food store with continued fuel services. The Two Rivers station is located on the southeast corner of Humboldt Avenue and 69th Avenue, at 6840 Humboldt Avenue North. A public hearing has been scheduled with respect to this Special Use Permit application and notices have been sent to surrounding property owners. BACKGROUND The Two Rivers station was originally constructed in 1967. The building measures 57' x 28' or 1,596 sq. ft.; and the parcel measures approximately 165' x 158' or 26, 070 sq. ft. The station has a canopy over the front pump islands, which consist of 4 separate fuel dispensers. The underground fuel tanks and filling caps are all located on the north side of the building. The service-station has three (3) auto service bays accessed on the back side of the building. The owners indicated to city staff that they wish to remove these service bays, as auto repair is no longer being conducted at this site, and convert this vacant space into usable floor spaces for an expanded convenience store. T-T. s. J rI ' ,% y � { � A 4 s. ..far;irs r App.No.2014-013 PC 07/17/2014 Page 1 The subject property is located in the C2 (Commerce) District. The site is surrounded by other C2 uses, including a Marathon Express gas store to the west,the Brooklyn Center School's Adult Community Ed. Center to the northwest; Good Fellowship Church(former gas station site)to the north; and the Humboldt Square Shopping Mall to the south. Pursuant to City Code Section 35-322, Subpart 3.b (Special Uses), convenience retail food stores are allowed by special use permit due to the following description: b) The sale or vending at gasoline service stations of items other than fuels, lubricants or automotive parts and accessories (and other than the vending of soft drinks, candy, cigarettes and other incidental items for the convenience of customers within the principal building)provided adequate parking is available consistent with the Section 35-704, 2 (b) and 2 (c). CONVENIENCE STORE & SITE DETAILS The owners intend to completely demo and remove all of the existing interior improvements to the building, and replace with a new floor plan consisting of an office/check-out space, new display shelves with aisles, and a new 10-foot wide addition to the rear of the building for new cooler spaces. A small section of outer wall along the south side of the building is also being removed under this remodel plan. The plan also include the reconstruction of the rear trash enclosure area (currently used for old tire storage), to be retrofitted for a new trash compactor and refuse containers, and which will be screened with double swing-out doors. OOM AVOWE PR9[9fY IL6 - Y�LPfi1K� I I - 2 _1%%111D1 A I i I I I I I I is nm.a w.r.A aaw.c rtw BEOED PA .S - - _ - PROMDADm 18 SP�78 SVAfFS- I App.No.2014-013 PC 07/17/2014 Page 2 The site is accessed by four separate drive openings, with two along Humboldt Avenue and two off 69`h Avenue. The site plan calls for the removal of one access off of 69th Avenue. These access points will be analyzed later in this report. The plans are absent of any details on retrofitting or remodeling the exterior of the existing building. The front of the building has three door opening, two of which will remain available for access, while the third will be locked and blocked off from the inside. As mentioned previously, the three service bay doors to the rear will be removed and replaced with the 10-foot wide addition space for the new coolers. The canopy and all pumps will remain in place. The site currently has five trees identified on this site plan. It appears the 3 trees along the north side are flowering crab-apple trees, with one additional tree in the central access separator island off Humboldt Ave., and a single maple tree located at the southwest corner. The City Landscape Point System requires 80 points for this less than 2-acre site. The existing maple tree equates to 10 points, and the 4 crab trees equate to 6 points total. Although the plans call for additional landscaping in the proposed closed off access area, the type or numbers of landscaping material are not identified. Staff is recommending the Owners provide an updated landscape plan to ensure they meet the 80 points necessary for this redeveloped site. Parking is currently located along the south and east sides of the property. Due to the proposed cooler addition to the rear of the building and the limitation of maintaining a 24-foot wide drive aisle, the parking spaces long the east side are being removed. The new layout and increase in retail space demands 1 I spaces for the first 2,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area(GFA), and 5.5 spaces for each additional 1,000 sq. ft. exceeding the first 2,000 sq. ft. Based on the overall size of the convenience store, only 1 I spaces would be required. The plan identifies 18 spaces, although the city count reveals 17 marked spaces. SPECIAL USE PERMIT ANALYSIS Pursuant to City Code Section 35-220, Subdivision 2, a special use permit may be granted by the City Council after demonstration by evidence that all of the following [standards] are met: a) 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. b) 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. c) 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. d) Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress, egress and parking so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. App.No.2014-013 PC 07/17/2014 Page 3 e) The special use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. The analysis of this special use will provide responses or staff findings based on these five standards noted in 35-220, Subdiv. 2. a) 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 Owners indicated to city staff their desire or intent to convert this store to convenience style gas and retail food store, is due in part to the large multi-family residential neighborhoods near this site, and the ability to provide for these residents' small food service needs. The owners indicated they intend to bring in a wide variety of foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables; meat, cheese and dairy products; canned and bottled food products; along with a host of other beverages and snacks. Staff feels the conversion of this auto repair and gas station store into a new convenience store operation would not be a detriment to the neighborhood; nor should it create any dangerous situations that affect the public, in either health, safety, morals or comforts. Any food handling or selling of food requires permits form the US Department of Agriculture, and any prepared or cooked on site foods requires Hennepin County Health Department permits, with both serving to ensure that all food is handled, displayed and sold in a safe and healthy manner. Any cigarette or tobacco sales are regulated and permitted by the City; and we have no record of any violations or cause to withdraw city licenses due to violations or illegal sales to minors. Staff believes this convenience store would be an acceptable use under this particular standard. b. 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 Two Rivers station and other previous [similar] businesses have continued to operate as a gas and auto service station on the subject site for over 47 years. For all intents and purposes, this business has continued to operate and remain open for quite some time, even during the up and down years of the local and regional economy. The gas and auto repair likely served as a suitable and reasonable location to the surrounding residents due to its proximity to these neighborhoods. The decision to remove the auto repair activity was a personal choice by the owner, due in part to recent inactivity and reductions of auto repair work being conducted at the site, along with a constant turn-over and difficulty keeping an operator at this site. The conversion of the building into a convenience store, and the retention of the fuel facilities, should not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other properties in this area. Although Humboldt Square Mall has a food marker tenant, and the Marathon gas store across the street has some limited convenience food supplies, this use may provide some healthy competition among these food retailers. Staff also feels this conversion of the site would not App.No.2014-013 PC 07/17/2014 Page 4 substantially diminish or impair values within the neighborhood. Therefore, Staff believes this new convenience store use would be acceptable under this particular standard. c. 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. As noted previously, this site has operated as a gas/auto service station for quite some time, and in no case have we heard or discovered any reasons if this use or auto repair and service activities conducted on this site impeded any normal or orderly developments in this area or the district in which it is located. This quadrant of Humboldt and 69th Avenues has been a well-established commercial node of the community, and there are no short-term or long- range plans to re-guide or rezone this commercial area for any other uses at this time. This use has survived and appears to be a successful business enterprise for this area, and this convenience store should help maintain or increase the retail activity needed to sustain this business. Staff does not see that as being an impediment to the normal, orderly development of the surrounding properties; nor a factor to any long-term or negative impacts. d. Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress, egress and parking so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. The subject site contains four access points, with two off Humboldt Avenue and two off 691h Avenue. When the owners approached city staff early in the planning process, it was recommended that the two access points nearest to the intersection may need to be closed, due to their proximity with these intersecting streets, and to help reduce as many potential conflicts with vehicles entering or exiting this site. This initial recommendation was made by the city engineers, which is supported by the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan's goals in eliminating or reducing access points along major roads and collectors. This reduction of access points helps with safer movements of vehicles along these high volumes or traveled road corridors, and helps reduce or eliminates those potential dangerous conflicts that occur with vehicles entering or exiting properties along these roadway corridors. The reduced accesses also provide for added levels of protection and safety for pedestrians along these routes. The Owners however, insisted on submitting a site plan that shows only the closest access point off 69th Avenue closing, while the two accesses off Humboldt Avenue to remain. The prime reason for keeping the two access points off Humboldt is due to the need for keeping access to the fuel tanker trucks that must enter this site from Humboldt Avenue. The Owners claim the trucks must enter this northerly access point off Humboldt and drive straight into the site to the underground tank fill-up area, located on the north side of the building. When completed,the trucks will exit from the single access point off 69th Avenue. The southernmost access off Humboldt Avenue may hamper or impair the ability of trucks to safely make the turns into the site, and the limitations placed on the site by the canopy and pump islands, which remain in place, will make truck maneuvering in this front area very difficult. A truck entering this south access point and maneuvering through the pump islands may be a bit difficult, especially if the pump islands have vehicles parked when the truck arrives. App.No.2014-013 PC 07/17/2014 Page 5 The Owners' site designers were instructed to provide truck-turning templates on the plans, to illustrate and determine if these trucks can make these various maneuvers. Even though these templates illustrate a tight movement in this site, the City Engineer believes the site can still be accessed by a single access point off Humboldt Avenue, and they continue to recommend the elimination of the two accesses nearest the intersection. It is unknown to staff if trucks entering this south access, can drive straight into the site and make a left turn heading north along the back side of the building, and stop near the north end of the UST's fill-up area. Nevertheless, the Owners wish to keep the two access points off Humboldt Avenue and argue that the closing of this northerly access will impair or harm their ability to provide for the tanker trucks to enter this site. As for overall parking on this site, the plan calls for 16 spaces along this south edge of the site, and 1 handicap space to the north of the building. The row of parking along the east side and facing the New Horizon Day Care, are being removed due to the new cooler and trash enclosure additions to the back of the building. As noted earlier in this report, City Code requires 11 spaces for the first 2,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area(GFA), and 5.5 spaces for each additional 1,000 sq. ft. exceeding the first 2,000 sq. ft. Based on the overall size of the convenience store, only 1 I spaces would be required. Previous SUP approvals on other gas/convenience store sites included"credit" for vehicles at the pump stations, or this case up to 8 parking spaces (2 cars per pump). With the 17 marked spaces plus the credit for up to 8 spaces, the site can accommodate up to 25 vehicles at one time, which is more than double the needed spaces. Parking is allowed to have a zero-setback along interior lot lines, and this current parking area has a zero setback and plans call to keep it that way. The abutting parking lot to Humboldt Square Mall has an 8-foot wide median or grass separator between the two lots, so there will be no car-to-car parking situation along this south edge. :':.", ---PATCH REMOVE EXISTING KNEE WALL, (N � BOOR TO MATCH EXISTING REQUIRED PARKING = 12 aooR �y.

The site is also fortunate to have a bus line stop and bus shelter located just to the south of the site, in front of the Humboldt Square Mall. .� o, The site also has a small bike rack for 4 bicycles, located on the north side of the building, and the front doorway will be improved with an ADA designed wheelchair/sloped ramp to the front doorway. 8'-0" 8'-0" M qqj- ITO MOUNTED HD.

App.No.2014-013 PC 07/17/2014 Page 7 Overall , this site appears to adequately handle and maintain all of the expected and required on-site parking needed for this site, and no off-site or shared parking arrangements (with Humboldt Square) will be needed. The Owners have provided a bike rack, which supports and is encouraged by the city's Active Living Policy and region's Livable Communities Act. The access points as discussed under this heading will need careful consideration and determination by the Planning Commission. City planners somewhat agree with the Owners that if tanker or delivery trucks are required to utilize this single access point off Humboldt, the turning or maneuvering around the pump island and canopy from this single access may prove very difficult or very challenging. It is unknown if driving around the rear of the building is an option, as the site designers did not provide a truck turning template to this area. Even so, the truck may not have enough room or long enough fill hoses to accomplish this task without blocking this north access pint or parking area. If the underground tanks can only be accessed safely and successfully from this north access, then Planning Staff would advocate for the keeping of these two access points off Humboldt. The Commission may wish to discuss this layout and recommended access controls, and make a recommendation to support the city engineering staff recommendations or the owners as you deem fit. e. The special use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. This convenience store use is allowed by special use permit only in this C2 (Commerce) zone, and there does not appear to be any justifiable reasons why this use is unable to meet or exceed the applicable regulations or standards required under this district. Staff has determined that this convenience store meets or exceeds these standards; will be a nice addition to the community; and is hereby determined to be acceptable use on the subject site. RECOMMENDATION It is the opinion of Planning Staff that the standards for this special use permit and the criterion used to measure or determine the appropriateness of this site's conversion into a convenience store with fuel services is acceptable; and therefore, we recommended that Planning Application No. 2014-014, which comprehends the Special Use Permit for a convenience store with fuel service at the subject site be approved, and that the Planning Commission adopt the attached Planning Commission Resolution No. 2014-14, with the following conditions: 1.

Any expansion or alteration of the proposed convenience store building other than what is illustrated on the submitted site plans comprehended under this application App.No.2014-013 PC 07/17/2014 Page 8 shall require an amendment to this special use permit. 4. Any additional grading, drainage,utility, and erosion control plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer prior to the issuance of permits. 5. Any outside trash enclosures must be completely screen and doors secured or closed at all times, and any new ground mechanical equipment shall be appropriately screened from view. 6. Approval of the special use permit does not authorize additional signage other than that allowed for under City Code Chapter 34—SIGNS.
