PROPERTY ADDRESS: 2501 COUNTY ROAD 10 (FORMER KOHL’S) Secretary to the Planning Commission, Mr. Benetti introduced Application No. 2017-001, consideration of Amendment No. 8 to the 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing Planned Unit Development, which would allow the expansion and refurbishment of the former Kohl’s building PC Minutes 01-12-17 -3- DRAFT into a new HOM Furniture store and multi-tenant retail store front and reduced Class I materials; allow Building X to be expanded from 19,000 sq. ft.; allow reduced setbacks for the EDA parcel; modify signage standards; modify drive-thru standards; and allow certain prohibited uses originally listed under the 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing PUD Agreement. (See Planning Commission Reports dated 01-12-2017 for Application No. 2017-001.) Mr. Benetti provided a presentation showing the background on this item and proposal for this project. Mr. Benetti stated the staff is recommending the Commission table the public hearing and delay final consideration of Planning Application No. 2017-001 until the next regular scheduled meeting. Wayne Johansen, Chairman of HOM Furniture addressed the Commission and provided some details and clarification on the proposed project, including the style of the building; the new retail elements; and the need for reduced parking for a furniture store use. Commissioner MacMillan asked where the receiving docks will be located. Mr. Johansen stated they will be behind Building Y. Chair Christensen asked if there are ordinances and laws in place that regulate what HOM Furniture could put in their windows as far as signage goes. Mr. Benetti stated within their building, they are welcome to do whatever they would like inside on their windows as these are not considered or counted in signage calculations. Chair Christensen asked if Mr. Johansen has any plans to use a lot of windows and signage within their windows. Mr. Johansen stated they don’t plan to have a great deal of windows because as a furniture store they are looking for walls to put furniture against for displaying purposes, however; he noted there are some places in the building they would want to expand the lighting so they plan to put in a few more windows with that in mind. He stated they aren’t sure at this time what they are going to find when digging into this building further but they plan to make this a nice site. Chair Christensen asked if HOM Furniture would be willing to add some references to being located in Shingle Creek Crossing Shopping Center to help the City promote the center and remind people they are there. Mr. Johansen stated it is too early to tell where they will land with all the signage and advertisement, but it is something they would consider down the line. Chair Christensen stated he would like to see the property still encompass the feeling and look of the other buildings that are part of the Shingle Creek Crossing. He noted he understands the desire to maintain its own identity, as they have planned but stated it would be nice to see this location still boast the Shingle Creek Crossing the City has envisioned for a long time. Commissioner Schonning stated this building has sat vacant for a number of years and he would be happy to see this developed there and encourages the applicant to proceed with signage as they wish to do so. PC Minutes 01-12-17 -4- DRAFT Commissioner Koenig asked what size the sign they are hoping to have in the corner location by the medical building. Mr. Benetti stated they would like to get 350 sq. ft. sign in that space. Commissioner Koenig stated he thinks that size or larger if possible would be great for attracting traffic in to the store. Commissioner Schonning stated he agrees with Chair Christensen that the large sign is nice but he likes the idea of keeping it with the theme of the other stores in the area by adding stone and decorations as opposed to it being a big huge sign board with nothing else on it. Mr. Johansen stated they aren’t opposed to keeping with the theme of the other signs he would only be concerned that adding these items to the sign would cut into the maximum sq. footage that they are allowed to have for the sign size. Mr. Benetti stated the structural unit for the sign doesn’t count against the signage size; they only count the sign size of the board itself. Mr. Johansen stated they are not opposed to working with the City to get something that works best for HOM and the City for consistency purposes of Shingle Creek Crossing. Commissioner Tade stated she would personally like to see more restaurants in this area and asked besides the parking if there are any other restrictions stopping them from renting to a restaurant tenant. Mr. Johansen replied, no there aren’t any other restrictions and the easy answer would be to put a pad restaurant in those locations. He stated that would be their fallback plan. Commissioner Sweeney asked about the need for reducing the Class I materials on the north side; and the difference between Class I vs. Class II materials. Mr. Benetti pulled up the Shingle Creek Crossing Architectural Guidelines (adopted by reference into the Shingle Creek Crossing PUD Agreement), and provided a brief overview of these materials. OPEN TO PUBLIC COMMENTS Chair Christensen recognized residents in the audience who wished to speak on this matter. There was a motion by Commissioner Tade, seconded by Commissioner Sweeney, to open the public hearing on Planning Application No. 2017-001, HOM Furniture Inc./Gatlin Development, at 8:39 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. Chair Christensen called for comments from the public. There were no individuals in attendance and no comments received at that time. There was a motion by Commissioner Sweeney, seconded by Commissioner Koenig, to table Planning Commission Application No. 2017-001 consideration of Amendment No. 8 to the 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing Planned Unit Development, until the next regular Planning Commission meeting. The motion passed unanimously. Voting in favor: Chair Christensen, Commissioners Koenig, MacMillan, Schonning, Sweeney and Tade. PC Minutes 01-12-17 -5- DRAFT And the following voted against the same: None The motion passed unanimously. 12. DISCUSSION ITEMS There are none. 13. 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 8:48 p.m. ________________________________ Chair ________________ App. No. 2017-001 PC 01/26/17 Page 1 Planning Commission Report Meeting Date: January 26, 2017 Application No. 2017-001 Applicant: HOM Furniture Inc. / Gatlin Development Location: 2501 County Road 10 Shingle Creek Crossing PUD Project Site Request: Planned Unit Development Amendment No. 8 and Site Plan Approval INTRODUCTION HOM Furniture Inc., in conjunction with Gatlin Development requests consideration of the eighth amendment to the 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing PUD development plans. The PUD Amendment includes a number of changes and modifications made under the original 2011 PUD Agreement, which will assist in the redevelopment of the former Kohl’s store site into a new HOM Furniture store, along with the option in developing the adjacent city-owned EDA lot. HOM also seeks approval of a Site and Building Plan application to the former Kohl’s retail building, which includes a new two-story, 24,622 sq. ft. (gross sq. ft.) addition, which would provide 11,805 sq. ft. for new multi-tenant retail user space (first floor), and 12,817 sq. ft. of additional 2nd floor space for HOM’s use. The PUD Amendment was given separate consideration before the Planning Commission at the January 12, 2017 meeting, with the understanding that official consideration of the new Site and Building Plans for HOM Furniture store improvements would be delayed to this January 26th meeting. It was indicated at this last meeting that Gatlin may have the necessary stormwater management plan available for review for the city engineers to complete their overall review of this application. Gatlin’s engineering consultants with Kimley-Horn Assoc., who prepared the overall drainage report for the 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing development, has been in contact with Shingle Creek Watershed Commission and is preparing the necessary storm water management/drainage plan and report for this particular area, which they hope to have submitted to the watershed very soon. This Site Plan application is being presented with the understanding (and condition) that the local watershed commission approval is required before the issuance of any permits for land disturbance, demolition and/or building improvements. This public hearing item was officially tabled at the last meeting; and therefore the Commission will be asked to re-open the hearing; ask for staff presentation of the new Site Plan for HOM; discuss; close the hearing; and formulate a recommendation accordingly. • Application Filed: 12/19/16 • Application Deemed Complete: 12/19/16 • Review Period (60-day) Deadline: 02/17/17 • Extended Review Period Deadline: N/A ________________ App. No. 2017-001 PC 01/26/17 Page 2 BACKGROUND The Shingle Creek Crossing PUD Amendment proposal was submitted along with the proposed SCC Master Plan – December 2016 (shown on the image below). As a reminder, HOM is seeking the following modifications or additions: a) allow the addition of a 2-story, 24,000 sq. ft. addition to the former Kohl’s building; b) allow reduced amount of Class I materials to the refurbished Kohl’s building; c) allow a reduced parking ratio from 4.5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of building space to 1 space per 1,000 sq. ft. for a proposed furniture showroom and warehouse; d) allow future BLDG. X to be expanded from 19,000 sq. ft. to 48,000 sq. ft.; e) allow site to have regular C-2 Zone sign standards as found in Chapter 34, Brooklyn Center Sign Code as opposed to the approved 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing Sign Program Plan; f) allow a new dynamic message sign of 350 sq. ft. on the subject site; g) allow reduced setbacks on the EDA lot for future development by HOM Inc., with further allowances to omit the standard: “Drive-thru or service lanes shall be screened with berming, landscaping or fencing"; h) allow certain prohibited uses listed under the 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing PUD Agreement. The PUD Plan calls for the improvements to the former Kohl’s building, which include re- furbishing the outer shell with new materials, and the expansion of the building with new retail space and storage/display area for HOM. These improvements are generally laid out on the new Site Improvement Plans HOM Furniture – Building Y for Shingle Creek Crossing plan set attached hereto. SITE & BUILDING PLAN CONSIDERATON The Site and Building Plan represent the modifications to the outer shell of the former Kohl’s ________________ App. No. 2017-001 PC 01/26/17 Page 3 building, along with a two story, approx. 25,000 total square foot addition. HOM intends to use the first story as 11,805 sq. ft. of available retail/tenant space (illustrated with five separated spaces for now), which will be controlled or leased out by HOM only. The upper (remaining) 12,817 sq. ft. of this addition will be tied into the 2nd floor space of the new HOM store, to be used for added storage or display area. Bldg. Y (old Kohl’s) is shown with its original footprint, along with a new two-story, 24,000+ sf. total square foot addition on the west side of the building. HOM intends to remodel the entire interior areas of the structure, and “re-skin” or modify a majority of the exterior similar to the conceptual elevation designs shown in the images below. The two-story addition will be allow for the first floor to be available for 11,805 sq. ft. of new retail (multi-tenant) space, while the upper portion of 12,817 sq. ft. will be opened up to the 2nd floor of the HOM store and used for additional floor/display area. HOM intends to replace or repair any outdated or inefficient mechanicals, and replace/repair the roof as needed. The PUD Amendment also requests the City to allow a reduced amount of Class I materials to one face of the planned refurbished Kohl’s building. This reduced face is located on the north side, along County Rd. 10 frontage. HOM is asking that instead of 50% of Class I materials, they be allowed to reduce to 25% of Class I, with remaining 75% as Class II materials. Parking & Access Considerations The existing Kohl’s lot consists of 6.83 acres, with an approx. 75,000 sf. retail building, and 447 ________________ App. No. 2017-001 PC 01/26/17 Page 4 parking spaces. The original Bldg. X that was approved under PUD #7 was intended to be a new 9,400 sq. ft. retail building, with 51 spaces (at 5.43 spaces/1,000 sf. – which exceeds the 4.5/1,000 sf. required under the SCC PUD). The expanded Bldg. X proposed under this PUD Amendment request is now shown as a 3-story, 48,000 sq. ft. medical office building. Both the HOM Furniture and future Bldg. X share the same lot; and hence shared parking between uses. HOM has submitted a request under this PUD Amendment to reduce the amount of parking from 4.5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of retail floor space down to 1 space per 1,000 sq. ft. This reduction only applies to the HOM Furniture store use. The retail expansion area will be parked at the current 4.5 per 1,000 standard. To lend support to this request, HOM submitted for consideration the table below, which indicates what other communities calculated in other HOM store uses within these cities: HOM is basing this request on these other city allowances, and the reasons being the larger, open store is used for more display, full-scaled room set-ups and arrangements, and warehouse space than a typical retail shopping store. Customer traffic is usually limited to a smaller than average number compared to other retail stores, and reduced parking has never been an issue with other furniture store sites they operate. Based on this requested reduction, the HOM store (and retail outlet) is indicating only 139 spaces would be allocated to HOM. The Applicant’s Site Data Table (partial clip below) indicates the lot for Bldg. X and Y (Lot 2, Block 2) is identified with 361 spaces. ________________ App. No. 2017-001 PC 01/26/17 Page 5 Pursuant to City Code 35-700 Off Street Parking Requirements, the following standards apply to medical and regular office uses: f. Medical and dental clinics: 3 spaces for each doctor/dentist, plus 1 space for every 2 employees or 1 space for each 150 square feet of gross floor area, whichever requirement is the greater. g. Office Buildings, exclusive of those specific uses otherwise listed in this section: Building Gross Floor Area (G.F.A.) Required Spaces 20,000 – 220,000 sq. ft. G.F.A. .0005 G.F.A. + 190 Under the medical office use, Bldg. X calculates as follows: 48,000 / 150 sf. = 320 spaces Office Bldg. use calculates as follows: 48,000 / (.0005 * 48,000) + 190 = 224 spaces. Subtracting the 139 spaces allocated for HOM from the 361 total stalls leaves only 222 spaces for Bldg. X. It should be noted that the 222 spaces does exceed the 4.5/1,000 sf. required under the SCC-PUD Agreement for retail uses. As for access, the new HOM store will still have main access from the main drive lane coming off Co. Rd. 10, directly south from Shingle Creek Parkway intersection. There are no plans to increase this access or any other openings to the sites. The Developer is also showing the closure of the free right-turn lane off Co. Rd. 10 north of the building (see image below). The City has made it part of previous agreements with the developer that this access would be closed off once this Kohl’s site was re-developed. ________________ App. No. 2017-001 PC 01/26/17 Page 6 Signage Considerations HOM Inc. requests modifications or additional sign allowances than those originally granted under the 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing Sign Program. HOM is asking the City to allow regular C-2 Zone sign standards (as found in Ch. 34-Sign Code) to apply, instead of the limited standards found in the 2011 Sign Plan presented by Gatlin Development and later adopted by the City under the 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing PUD Agreement. The request also includes an allowance to have a 350 sq. ft. dynamic message board sign on the HOM site; along with additional freestanding sign on the medical office site. Under the SCC Sign Plan, this HOM site would be considered a “major tenant”, and its sign allowances are noted in the Shingle Creek Crossing Sign Program. The Plan states that all wall sign sizes are limited to 1.5 sq. ft. per linear foot of leased premises; with primary signs further limited to 70% of adjacent wall surface and no higher than 6-ft. max.; while secondary sized signs limited to 70% of adjacent wall surface and 1.5-ft. in max. height; and all wall signage is limited to 350 sq. ft. in total area per elevation/side of building. The Kohl’s building has a linear wall frontage of approx. 224 feet on the large wall faces (west and east elevations); and 160 linear feet on the shorter (south and north elevation) sides. The building is approx. 52 feet in height. Under the SCC Sign Plan, up to 337.5 sq. ft. of signage is available for the west/east elevations, and 240 sq. ft. of signage to the south/north elevations. ________________ App. No. 2017-001 PC 01/26/17 Page 7 HOM has submitted its own sign plan with the following allowances: 923 sq. ft. of signage to the south elevation; 843 sq. ft. for the west elevation; 1,091 sq. ft. along the east elevation; and 275 sq. ft. for the north elevation. The C-2 Sign Standards found under Ch. 34-Sign Code allows the aggregate areas of wall signs not to exceed up to 15% of the wall supporting the signs (essentially 15% of total wall area. The 224’ x 52’ wall face equals 11,648 sq. ft. of wall space, which would allow up to 1,747 sq. ft. of total wall signage. The smaller 160’ x 52’ walls equates to 8,320 sq. ft., or 1,248 sq. ft. of allowable signage. Under each wall sign illustration, the new HOM store either exceeds or greatly exceeds the ________________ App. No. 2017-001 PC 01/26/17 Page 8 allowable amount of wall signage called for under the 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing PUD Sign Plan. However, under the City’s Sign Code standards for C-2 properties, all new signs would be under the allowances based on these regular signage standards. Because this old Kohl’s site is somewhat detached and separated from the main elements or improvements inside the SCC PUD, city staff is not too overly concerned with granting or allowing this added signage for this HOM store building, since the C-2 standards already allow for increase signage to begin with, and the building is large enough to support the extra signage. As for the new (proposed) freestanding signs. The 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing PUD Agreement limited the number of freestanding signs throughout the PUD area based on the following approvals: Two freestanding signs, each up to 350 sq. ft. in area, are allowed along HWY 100, two freestanding signs are allowed along Bass Lake Road up to 140 sq. ft.; and two freestanding signs along Xerxes Ave. up to 140 sq. ft. is allowed as development identification signs as illustrated on Attachment Four and Fifteen. Four monument signs up to 140 sq. ft. are allowed along Bass Lake Road, and one monument sign up to 140 sq. ft. is allowed along Xerxes Ave. Under the C-2 sign standards in Zoning Ch. 34-Signs, a commercial building above 24,000 sq. ft. is allowed the following freestanding sized signs [as an individual establishment]: 2. Freestanding Signs a. Individual Establishments Individual detached establishments or enterprises not clustered in a shopping center complex or in a multitenant office or industrial building may have one freestanding sign according to the following schedule. In the event such establishments abut two or more streets which are at least collector or arterial in character, and if the abutment on each street exceeds 400 feet, one freestanding sign may be erected along each such street according to the following schedule: Building Gross Floor Area Max. Sign Area Max. Sign Height Square Feet Square Feet (Above 1st Flr.) Feet Above 24,000 250 32 The two 350-sq. ft. freestanding signs inside the Shingle Creek Crossing PUD today were a hold- over from the previous Brookdale Mall planned unit development agreement of 1998, which the Developer wanted extended to the newly redeveloped PUD. These two large-scale signs are now evident along HWY 100 frontage, and are used to display the major, multiple store tenants inside the new mall area. The Developer also chose to limit individual freestanding signs on all individual parcels, by strategically placing the smaller 140 sq. ft. multiple tenant display signs throughout the development, primarily near the entry points. Since the Kohl’s/HOM frontage along County Rd. 10 and HWY 100 exceeds 400-ft. along each major (arterial) roadway, under the normal; C-2 Zone sign standards, HOM would be entitled to ________________ App. No. 2017-001 PC 01/26/17 Page 9 place two, 250-sq. ft. sized freestanding signs along each roadway. Each sign would also be allowed to be fully dynamic or full electronic message board. The allowance that HOM is requesting under this PUD Amendment request is quite significant when compared to the approved 2011 PUD Agreement and Sign Plan between Gatlin and the City. Gatlin purposefully chose to limit the amount of individual signage inside the mall area in order to avoid over clustering of freestanding signs, and limit large, out-of-character wall signs that could detract from the newer architectural style and enhanced design of the buildings planned under this PUD. The image below illustrates a plan to install the HOM sign near the southern-most corner of the old Kohl’s lot, in front of the proposed medical office building. HOM is also showing a new freestanding sign near the main entrance (off the main access road), which appears to be for the new medical office uses. Although staff acknowledged this HOM site is somewhat detached and separated from the main part of the SCC-PUD, and essentially will function on its own accord, City staff would still like to maintain a sense of consistent and combined design criteria over the entire PUD site regarding signage, including this HOM and surrounding developments. With that being said, Staff suggests that having three, 350-sq. ft. signs along the HWY 100 frontage may be a bit too much, and recommends HOM reduce the size of their individual sign to only 250-sq. ft. ________________ App. No. 2017-001 PC 01/26/17 Page 10 Although entitled to an additional 250 sq. ft. sign along Co. Rd. 10, the City is accepting HOM’s request to provide additional and much larger wall signs on the building, so an additional freestanding sign is not warranted along this frontage. Furthermore, any additional freestanding signs for the proposed “Medical Office” and EDA lot may be allowed, but should be limited to the C-2 Sign Code standards as well. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 2017-01, which comprehends the approval of Planning Application No. 2017-001, the Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment No. 8, which would allow certain changes to the original 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing Planned Unit Development (and all subsequent amendments), along with the related Site Improvement Plans HOM Furniture – Building Y for Shingle Creek Crossing, subject to the following conditions and allowances: 1. Developer shall comply with all conditions or request of additional information as noted in the City Engineer Review Memorandum, dated January 5, 2017 2.

Developer is allowed to construct a 2-story, 24,622 sq. ft. addition to the former Kohl’s building, with approximately one-half of this space to be used for new multi-tenant retail spaces, and one-half to be used as additional floor space for the new HOM Furniture store. 4. Developer is allowed to a reduction of Class I materials along the north elevation side of the new HOM store building, provided all other elevations receive the 50% Class I and 50% Class II ratio. 5.

To accomplish proceeding to Closing of the Kohl's property and the execution of an Option Agreement for the EDA Site, certain changes need to be made to the existing PUD Agreement governing these sites and the Shingle Creek Crossing. Once in place and agreed upon, the Buyer can proceed to an application for a Tax Increment Financing Agreement with the City and then close on the Kohl's site. Overall Vision and Timeline The Sites will not need to be subdivided and lot lines can be left as is . The Buyer's initial plan is to correct the existing blight of the Kohl's building through transforming Kohl's into a HOM Furniture store with a 2 level 24,000 square foot addition . The upper floor of this addition will be additional showroom space for HOM and the first level will be market rate retail space for rent. Timing of this Phase will begin after successful PUD, TIF, and ECR Agreements/ Amendments are in place and other supporting documents have been executed. Once the Kohl's property is closed and building permits have been obtained, HOM w ill immediately begin to demo and expand the former Kohl's into a HOM Showroom and added retail space. HOM has been through this renovation process numerous times in various cities. Its group of responsive contractors and in house staff will comp lete the project efficiently. Additional development will be market driven. Our plan is to develop the non-HOM balance of the site with aggressive marketing over the next 2 to 4 years by adding comp l imentary uses to the existing sec Development such as a 48,000-square foot Medical Office facility and a Retail/Commercial bu i lding of 14,000 square feet on the EDA Par cel. If market conditions and demand dictate some other allowed uses, we are nimble and will accomp li sh the ultimate goal of fully developing the site to its densest and most complimentary use for the area .

HOM and its affiliated entities are excited to accomplish this vision.

Cross of Glory is allowing Big Picture to lease a portion of their under-utilized Sunday school classrooms and children’s’ activity areas due in part to decrease enrollment and use by families that remain members of the church. Cross of Glory will continue as principal owner and user of the church property, with no plans to sell off the property to the school group at this time. Written notices of this public hearing were mailed to all residential property owners within 350- feet of the subject site. As of the preparation of this report, no comments either for or against this request, have been received by the City.

Subdivision Ord.: N/A Sign Ord.: Unknown or not under consideration at this time. Variance Needed for Request: None at this time. • Application Filed: 01/04/17 • Review Period (60-day) Deadline: 03/02/17 • Extension Declared: N/A • Extended Review Period Deadline: N/A ________________ App. No. 2017-002 PC 01/26/2017 Page 2 BACKGROUND Pursuant to City Code Section 35-310, R1 ONE FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT, all new public school (including charter) uses must be approved under a special use permit: 2. Special Uses b. Public and private elementary and secondary schools offering a regular course of study accredited by the Minnesota Department of Education, provided primary vehicular access shall be gained to the uses by a collector or arterial street. BPTC and Cross of Glory Church executed a Letter of Intent on December 22, 2016 for BPTC to lease and occupy initially approximately 10,000 rentable square feet of the approximately 22,589 square foot building and surrounding property at Cross of Glory Lutheran Church. By the 2019-2020 school year, BPTC plans to lease and occupy 18,000 rentable square feet. The lease is for a three (3) year term. The lease will be subject to approval by the Minnesota Department of Education, which requires that the building meets health and safety codes per Minnesota Statutes, section 124E.03, Subdivision 2(a), which states in part, “A charter school shall meet all federal, state, and local health and safety requirements applicable to school districts.” It also mandates that BPTC administration and school board are aware of the requirements of Title II of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) and will comply with those requirements. Further, it requires that the school is inspected by the Minnesota State Fire Marshall or its local designee for compliance with the Minnesota State Fire Code for Educational Occupancy and has an inspection report showing that any outstanding violations discovered during the initial inspection have been remedied. BPTC is a public charter school approved by the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE). As a public school, it will serve all students who apply for admission. There are no admission requirements or charges for tuition. BPTC is funded with state and federal dollars. Funding is based on enrollment and includes money for both operational expenses and lease payments for a facility. In addition to being regulated by the Minnesota Department of Education, charter schools are overseen by an MDE approved authorizer. The authorizer is responsible for the academic results and financial management of the school. BPTC’s authorizer is Novation Education Opportunities (NEO) which is single purpose Charter School Authorizer in the State of Minnesota. NEO is a non-profit corporation with 501 (c)(3) status. DETAILS of CHARTER SCHOOL BPTC is a new and innovative model that will provide a free public school option to Brooklyn Center and surrounding community members seeking stronger academic results and a more personalized learning environment than currently available in local district and charter schools. Cross of Glory was built in 1955, and has been added on a few of times throughout the years. It ________________ App. No. 2017-002 PC 01/26/2017 Page 3 located at the southeast corner of Brooklyn Boulevard and Admiral Lane. It consists of 4.6 acres, with almost 29,000 sq. ft. of floor space on the first/main level and an additional 19,900 sq. ft. on the lower level. The church has two fully functioning entrances off Brooklyn Boulevard to the east (with center turn lanes to accommodate vehicles off this roadway system); two secondary entrances off Ewing Avenue to the west; and one minor entrance to the south parking lot area off of 58-1/2 Avenue North. BPTC School intends to use the existing “Sunday school” classrooms highlighted in blue shaded areas in the floor plan below. The light green shaded areas will be used as activity or multi-purpose areas for the charter school group. The school also intends to utilize parts of the lower level for classrooms and multi- ________________ App. No. 2017-002 PC 01/26/2017 Page 4 purpose areas (underneath the main church sanctuary/gathering space). The church facility has a large expanse of parking for its own use, and should provide adequate parking needs for the school use, as the church and school functioning times will not cross over or be in direct conflict due to normal school day hours versus normal weekend church service times. BPTC intends to open its doors to 80 students in grades 6, 7 and 8 in August 2017. Plans call for this school to grow or expand to serve up to 150 students over the coming years, as indicated in the table below: School Year Number of Students 2017-2018 80 2018-2019 120 2019-2020 150 2020-2021 150 2021-2022 150 BPTC is open to all students, without regard to ability, race, religion, or any other factors, other than the capacity of the program, class, grade level, or building. ANALYSIS - SPECIAL USE Pursuant to City Code Section 35-220; Subpart 2. Standards for Special Use Permits, a special use permit may be granted by the City Council after demonstration by evidence that certain standards used to measure or allow a special use have been or will be met as part of any approvals. The following section highlights these standards (italic text), with city planning staff responses to each standard afterwards: 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 subject property is currently zoned R1 - One Family Residence District. Public and private elementary and secondary schools are allowed as per the City Ordinance via a Special Use Permit. Further, it is located on Brooklyn Boulevard, an arterial street, which will provide primary vehicular access for the faculty, staff, parents, students and visitors. Big Picture Twin Cities (BPTC), as a public charter school offering a regular course of study accredited by the Minnesota Department of Education, seeks the approval of a Special Use Permit in order to operate a small level charter school for children in grades 6th through 8th grade only. BPTC indicates plans to expand their student enrollments through the next few years, but does not plan to exceed 150 students at this time. Enrollment level or level of service is usually determined by the Dept. of Education. BPTC further indicated they may open a second campus to serve high school students, but there are no plans to provide this high school level education at this location. BPTC anticipates that after the kids finish this charter school programming, they will eventually enroll into the local high schools of Brooklyn Center High, Park High school, or others. ________________ App. No. 2017-002 PC 01/26/2017 Page 5 This type of use will provide opportunity to young kids to begin their formative education at a local school use, and transition to one of the local high schools in or near the city, which helps promote the general welfare of the community, and sustains the success of our local schools. The applicants have indicated they intend to ensure that all bus/parent drop-off areas and pick-up will take place from Brooklyn Boulevard, which will lessen any impacts upon the surrounding residential neighborhoods. In addition, BPTC has already solicited the assistance of the City’s Building Official and Fire Marshall to inspect and recommend any building safety and life-safety issues in order to make the school area a safe and effective area for education al purposes. Any improvements will be made under a general building permit process and must be approved by the Dept. of Education as well. 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 proposed school use will not have an adverse effect on adjacent properties. Rather, BPTC will further enhance the image of the area and be a good neighbor to the adjacent properties. The changes to the appearance of the property will be minimal, as BPTC intends to add new signage as allowed by City Code; and plans to utilize a small portion of the parking lot for outdoor recreation for its students, which should not be a disruption to the neighboring properties, businesses and residents. None of the utilized equipment is scheduled to be permanently affixed to the property. BPTC will be long-term asset that will help attract and retain families in the surrounding residential neighborhoods and complement the existing amenities in the Brooklyn Center area. It will also strengthen the area’s reputation for having quality public schools, which can have a positive effect on the housing values for the surrounding community. As for the existing schools in Brooklyn Center, BPTC will offer residents with middle school aged children (grades 6-8) more high-quality choices. As a public school, it will serve all students who apply for admission. BPTC is open to all students, without regard to ability, race, religion, or any other factors. There are no admission requirements or charges for tuition. 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. The proposed use for 5929 Brooklyn Boulevard is fully compatible with present and future uses of the area. BPTC and Cross of Glory Lutheran Church will share the space, with the school’s primary use during school hours on week days and the church’s primary use on evenings and weekends. As a public charter school serving grades 6-8 it is compatible with single-family residential use, which encompasses the majority of the adjacent properties. Further, the subject property has been underutilized as a facility and the school will bring ________________ App. No. 2017-002 PC 01/26/2017 Page 6 vitality back to the building and greatly benefit the area. Faculty, parents and students are likely to patronize the nearby retailers and restaurants and the school itself will serve as a new community amenity. 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 property is located and accessible via Brooklyn Boulevard, which is an arterial street and currently serves 24,000 vehicles per day. Buses, staff and parents will utilize the Brooklyn Boulevard entrance to enter and exit the property (see map below): This should minimize the impact in terms of traffic on the area. ________________ App. No. 2017-002 PC 01/26/2017 Page 7 The school hours will be Monday through Friday between 8:00 and 4:00 pm. The majority of students will ride a school bus, with up to two busses serving the 2017-2018 school year, and no more than four at full capacity. Limited parent pickup and drop off will also occur. Based on conversations with staff from the Public Works Department, the small size of the school should not have a significant impact on traffic. In addition, BPTC should have no impact on parking facilities on adjacent streets and land because of the very large surface parking lot, which has 210 stalls. With no more than 150 students and 15 staff members even at all school celebrations and conference time, the parking will be sufficient. The image below reflects the planned roadway, trail/sidewalk and access improvements near the Admiral Lane and Brooklyn Boulevard intersection. These improvements were identified under the approved Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor Study of 2013, with reconstruction to begin this year and finish over the next 5 to 6 years. The City has also notified the Church and BPTC that the two entrances off Brooklyn Boulevard will be reduced to only one entrance, as part of the planned future improvements to this roadway system. The single access point will be limited to a right- in/right-out only, as Hennepin County plans to install a center-median to restrict the free access movements into the property. City staff does feel the loss of this northerly access or reduction of turning movements will have any negative or long-term effects upon the operation of the church and/or school at this location. ________________ App. No. 2017-002 PC 01/26/2017 Page 8 The City Engineer indicated in their review memo that BPTC’s school buses, staff and parents will only access the property from Brooklyn Blvd.; and drop offs/parking will only occur onsite, with on-street parking on adjacent city streets prohibited and will be managed by the school operator and landowners. e. The special use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. The property at 5929 Brooklyn Boulevard is located in a R1 One Family Residence District. The existing structure on site is a church built in 1955. The building meets the minimum district requirements as set in Section 35-400 of the City Ordinance and the parking space standards in Section 35-702. BPTC is a public charter school. Public and private elementary and secondary school uses are allowed in the R1 District via a Special Use Permit, subject to the school offering a regular course of study accredited by the Minnesota Department of Education and provided that primary vehicular access shall be gained to the uses by a collector or arterial street. BPTC and the subject property meet these requirements and thus will fully conform to the regulations of the district.

December 29, 2016 Tim Benetti City Planner City of Brooklyn Center, MN 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center, MN 55430-2199 tbenetti@ci.brooklyn-center.mn.us Dear Mr. Benetti, We are requesting a Special Use Permit to operate Big Picture Twin Cities, a public charter school for grades 6-8, in Cross of Glory Lutheran Church at 5929 Brooklyn Blvd. This property would effectively suit our programmatic and administrative space needs as well as those of the church. The property additionally offers Big Picture Twin Cities the opportunity to serve its students and families in a unique environment with close access to local transportation, parks, nature areas, mentorship opportunities and the numerous amenities of Brooklyn Center. Big Picture Twin Cities (BPTC) presents a groundbreaking educational model that personalizes every student’s school experience to provide an education that is both relevant and rigorous. The school blends project based learning, targeted instruction and small group advisory together in the same learning space to ensure every student has an engaging school experience and is held to high academic standards. Cross of Glory Lutheran Church is seeking a tenant for their under-utilized education space. We propose utilizing the classrooms, gathering/eating areas, offices, kitchen, gymnasium, and basement as well as the parking lots. Hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from approximately 8:00am to 4:00pm. There would be up to 15 members of our faculty and staff at any given time at the site along with approximately 80-150 students. Please feel free to contact me at should you have any questions or need additional information.

Cross of Glory Lutheran Church has been a part of the Brooklyn Center community for the past sixty years. We are called to welcome, celebrate, grow and serve our diverse community in the glory of the Cross. Sharing our space with BPTC presents a new opportunity to engage and serve our community while we continue the work of the church. Our building is well suited to meet the needs of the school, with adequate classrooms, community space, and ample parking. BPTC's school model is one that we believe would greatly benefit the students and families of Brooklyn Center. The school's "one student at a time" approach and their engagement of families and community members in the education process will serve students well and will prepare them for success in college, future careers, and the communities in which they will eventually become a part.

Big Picture Twin Cities (BPTC), as a public charter school offering a regular course of study accredited by the Minnesota Department of Education, is seeking a Special Use Permit to be recommended by the Planning Commission and granted by the City Council for the property located at 5929 Brooklyn Boulevard. The subject property is currently zoned R1 - One Family Residence District (see attached Brooklyn Center Zoning Map). Public and private elementary and secondary schools are allowed as per the City Ordinance via a Special Use Permit. Further, it is located on Brooklyn Boulevard, an arterial street, which will provide primary vehicular access for the faculty, staff, parents, students and visitors. BPTC is a new and innovative model that will provide a free public school option to Brooklyn Center and surrounding community members who are seeking stronger academic results and a more personalized learning environment than currently available in local district and charter schools. Mission BPTC will build on the unique strengths and self-knowledge of its diverse student body and staff through a rigorous, competency-based system that balances support with flexibility and personalized, student-directed learning with high academic standards, thereby ensuring all students graduate from high school with the skills and knowledge necessary for success in college and the career of his or her choosing. Vision BPTC will prove that all students, regardless of their socio-economic status, zip code, or background, are capable of graduating from high school and achieving success in college. Every BPTC student will graduate with the sense of empowerment and personal responsibility necessary to be a positive and innovative force for change in the world, and will use their skills and knowledge to positively participate in a democracy and a global economy in innovative and personally meaningful ways. Academic Model BPTC is partnering with Big Picture Learning to implement this innovative model in Brooklyn Center. Big Picture Learning (BPL) is an international network of like-minded schools that work with students, families and the broader community to provide a high quality, personalized and rigorous education. BPL schools are unique environments where students can explore their individual interests and passions within a community of learners. BPL schools are centered on the following ten distinguishing characteristics: 1. One Student at a Time Students are treated as individuals within a community of learners. Every BPTC student has an individual learning plan based on their unique interests, talents, goals, and needs. Each learning plan is developed collaboratively by the student, the student’s family, and the student’s BPTC advisor. Students master rigorous academic content standards in ways that are personally meaningful and tailored to each individual student. 2. Advisory Structure Advisory is the core organizational structure of all Big Picture schools. Advisories at BPTC are groups of fifteen students and one advisor (a licensed teacher) that spend a large part of each day working together. Students and advisors collaborate to determine which projects and teacher supports will best help students master standards at a rigorous level and develop students’ interests. Advisory ensures that every student has a one-on-one personal connection with a trusted adult, and provides students with a space to share, celebrate and build on individual and group BIG PICTURE TWIN CITIES Application for Special Use Permit Page 2 of 6 learning. Students stay with the same advisory throughout their years at BPTC, building close relationships between advisors, students and families. 3. Learning in the Real World: LTI Learning in the Real World is a key component of all Big Picture schools. When classroom learning isn’t connected to the real world surrounding students, school can feel disconnected and frustrating. Learning Through Interest and Learning Through Internships bridges the “relevance gap” by engaging students directly in work that interests them and has a meaningful impact on the world around them. Students at BPTC will develop projects based on their personal interests, passions and goals. Students will work with community experts in relevant fields as mentors, both on site at the school and off site in community internships. 4. Parent and Family Engagement Parents and families are critically important members of the school community. Parents collaborate with students and advisors to develop their student’s learning plan. Parents’ knowledge of students is crucial when developing a plan that best meets each individual student’s needs. Parents also play an active role in authentically assessing their student’s work and growth at the end of each term. Parents often play an integral role in building relationships with potential LTI mentors. 5. School Culture A positive and respectful school culture is important in all Big Picture schools. Students take on leadership roles in the school, and student voice is valued in the school decision making process. BPTC will implement restorative practices across the school to support a positive, healthy school culture that helps the school build community and resolve conflict. 6. Authentic Assessment Students at BPTC are expected to master rigorous state standards, and students at Big Picture schools across the country are outperforming their local districts in both reading and math. That said, we believe students are best assessed not by tests, but by public displays of learning that track growth and progress. These public displays are called exhibitions, and take place four times a year. In exhibitions, students present their learning, growth, projects, and other work to a panel of teachers, administrators, classmates, family members, friends and community members. This process allows for a student’s success to be measured in a more authentic way that encompasses much more than a test score. 7. School Organization BPTC is organized around advisory and individual student learning plans rather than a traditional bell schedule. BPTC is designed to be flexible enough to meet each student’s needs. In traditional schools, students often feel frustrated when the learning is either too difficult or too easy for them. At BPTC, students can spend more time focusing on the areas in which they need support, and less time on content they’ve already mastered. 8. Leadership Leadership at Big Picture schools is shared and spread between a strong, visionary principal or director, a dedicated, responsible team of advisors and staff, and engaged, motivated students. Shared ownership drives ongoing improvement. All members of the school community are expected to actively engage in leading BPTC and building a positive school culture. BIG PICTURE TWIN CITIES Application for Special Use Permit Page 3 of 6 9. Post-Secondary Planning BPTC will serve 6th-8th grade students at Cross of Glory Lutheran Church, but will eventually grow and open a second campus to serve high school students. We believe that students should begin planning and preparing for life after high school long before their senior year. At BPTC, students develop habits, skills, mindsets and plans that contribute to their future success in college and/or careers. Big Picture schools average a 95% on-time graduation rate. Students from Big Picture schools across the country are accepted into college at higher rates (89%) than students in their local district schools, and are significantly more likely to graduate from college than students who didn’t attend a Big Picture school. 10. Professional Development Advisors and staff at BPTC receive regular professional development to drive continuous improvement and are expected to be lifelong learners. As a Big Picture school, BPTC is able to learn from the experience of other Big Picture schools around the country and the world to bring the most effective, relevant education to our students.

School Year Number of Students 2017-2018 80 2018-2019 120 2019-2020 150 2020-2021 150 2021-2022 150 Lease BPTC and Cross of Glory Lutheran Church executed a Letter of Intent on December 22, 2016 for BPTC to lease and occupy initially approximately 10,000 rentable square feet of the approximately 22,589 square foot building and surrounding property at Cross of Glory Lutheran Church. The attached floor plans identify the rooms that will be utilized, along with exiting and restrooms. By the 2019-2020 school year, BPTC plans to lease and occupy 18,000 rentable square feet. The lease is for a three (3) year term. The lease will be subject to approval by the Minnesota Department of Education, which requires that the building meets health and safety codes per Minnesota Statutes, section 124E.03, Subdivision 2(a), which states in part, “A charter school shall meet all federal, state, and local health and safety requirements applicable to school districts.” It also mandates that BPTC administration and school board are aware of the requirements of Title II of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) and will comply with those requirements. Further, it requires that the school is inspected by the Minnesota State Fire Marshall or its BIG PICTURE TWIN CITIES Application for Special Use Permit Page 5 of 6 local designee for compliance with the Minnesota State Fire Code for Educational Occupancy and has an inspection report showing that any outstanding violations discovered during the initial inspection have been remedied. Application Process In preparation of this Special Use Permit application, BPTC met with Tim Benetti, Planning and Zoning Specialist, Steven L. Lillehaug, Director of Public Works, and Andrew Hogg, Assistant City Engineer, from the City of Brooklyn Center on December 12, 2016. Their recommendations regarding bus drop- off/pick-up and staff parking have been reflected in this application. In addition, BPTC toured the subject property with Dan Grinsteinner, Building Official for the City of Brooklyn Center, and Brandon Gautsch, Public Education Officer for Brooklyn Center Fire Department on December 23, 2016. Upon guidance by Grinsteinner and Gautsch, BPTC will work with the owner of the subject property - Cross of Glory Lutheran Church - to address all ingress/egress and accessibility issues before seeking a Certificate of E-occupancy from the City of Brooklyn Center. 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 proposed school use will not have an adverse effect on adjacent properties. Rather, BPTC will further enhance the image of the area and be a good neighbor to the adjacent properties. The changes to the appearance of the property will be minimal, as BPTC will simply add signage, upon approval of a Sign Permit Application by City of Brooklyn Center Building & Community Standards. BPTC plans to utilize a portion of the parking lot for outdoor recreation for its students, but it should not be a disruption to the neighboring properties, businesses and residents; further, none of the utilized equipment be permanently affixed to the property. BPTC will be long-term asset that will help attract and retain families in the surrounding residential neighborhoods and complement the existing amenities in the Brooklyn Center area. It will also strengthen the area’s reputation for having quality public schools, which can have a positive effect on the housing values for the surrounding community. As for the existing schools in Brooklyn Center, BPTC will offer residents with middle school aged children (grades 6-8) more high-quality choices. As a public school, it will serve all students who apply for admission. BPTC is open to all students, without regard to ability, race, religion, or any other factors . There are no admission requirements or charges for tuition. 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. The proposed use for 5929 Brooklyn Boulevard is fully compatible with present and future uses of the area. BPTC and Cross of Glory Lutheran Church will share the space, with the school’s primary use during school hours on week days and the church’s primary use on evenings and weekends. As a public BIG PICTURE TWIN CITIES Application for Special Use Permit Page 6 of 6 charter school serving grades 6-8 it is compatible with single-family residential use, which encompasses the majority of the adjacent properties. Further, the subject property has been underutilized as a facility and the school will bring vitality back to the building and greatly benefit the area. Faculty, parents and students are likely to patronize the nearby retailers and restaurants and the school itself will serve as a new community amenity. 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 property is located and accessible via Brooklyn Boulevard, which is an arterial street and currently serves 24,000 vehicles per day. Buses, staff and parents will utilize the Brooklyn Boulevard entrance to enter and exit the property (see attached aerial map). This should minimize the impact in terms of traffic on the area. The school hours will be Monday through Friday between 8:00 and 4:00. The majority of students will ride a school bus (two for the 2017-2018 school year, with no more than four at full capacity). Limited parent pickup and drop off will also occur. Based on conversations with staff from the Public Works Department, the small size of the school should not have a significant impact on traffic. In addition, BPTC should have no impact on parking facilities on adjacent streets and land because of the very large surface parking lot, which has 210 stalls. With no more than 150 students and 15 staff members even at all school celebrations and conference time, the parking will be sufficient. The special use shall, in all other respects, conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. The property at 5929 Brooklyn Boulevard is located in a R1 One Family Residence District. The existing structure on site is a church built in 1955. The building meets the minimum district requirements as set in Section 35-400 of the City Ordinance and the parking space standards in Section 35-702. BPTC is a public charter school. Public and private elementary and secondary school uses are allowed in the R1 District via a Special Use Permit, subject to the school offering a regular course of study accredited by the Minnesota Department of Education and provided that primary vehicular access shall be gained to the uses by a collector or arterial street. BPTC and the subject property meet these requirements and thus will fully conform to the regulations of the district.
