CITY COUNCIL STRATEGI REDEVELOPMENT ,,Food Site Sa2. 57 th and Loan Site :. )ppo,- GOALS0' F F FOR FOCUSED Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel Mr. Eitel introduced this item and provided background and status on all 3 redevelopment sites. He stated the challenge is pursuing market rate housing opportunities within a developed community is that you need to find a developer and investment group willing to pursue a project without current market data to build their pro forma from and a good understanding of how the market will respond their project. Similar challenges relate to commercial projects and their financial challenges. Commissioner Tade asked what the status is with the Devon George Group. Mr. Eitel stated that the exclusive negotiating period ended in February. Mr. George has retained another architectural firm and his development team has been working on a redesign of a potential project that they believe will be feasible and market receptive. Assuming a positive response to the feasibility of completing the necessary infrastructure improvements (streets, utilities, storm water treatment) the redesign will be presented to the EDA to determine if the proposal is consistent with their vision of the redevelopment of the Opportunity Site. He stated that at this time, the City is open to consideration of other plans and developer interest for a market rate housing project for the site. Commissioner Rizvi asked if the properties in this plan take into account the Ocean Buffet property. Mr. Eitel stated that property is owned by the EDA and so that is part of the plan. He referenced the current lease with Ocean Buffett run through 2021 and that increases in the last years of the lease are schedule to increase the lease rate to market value. The previous plans identified the general location of the restaurant in the area planned for a future performing arts center/community building. The assumption has been that this restaurant would be relocated within the City. Commissioner Koenig asked Mr. Eitel to give an overview of the market share. He asked if the issue is that we don't have enough population to fill vacant apartments and the cost of those wanting to develop will be too expensive for residents. Mr. Eitel stated the risk factor is high because of the absence of a demonstrated market willing to support higher rents. He stated there is a lot of market interest here but the market data does not appear to support the projects he sees being built in Plymouth, Golden Valley, St. Louis Park and Minnetonka. 8b) UPDATES ON CURRENT DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES AND PENDING PLANNING APPLICATIONS: 8b1. 6720 sf.

PLANNING ITEMS a) Consideration of minor revisions to the General Development Plan for the Shingle Creek Crossing PUD Amendment No. 8 (reduction of BLDG. X form 48,000 sf, to 38,000 sf. and BLDG. F from 14,000 sf. to 12,000 sf.) On February 13, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2017-25, which accepted the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve PUD Amendment No. 8 for the Shingle Creek Crossing Development and site plan approval for expansion and renovation of the former Kohl's building by HOM Furniture. The City Council's resolution authorized the preparation and execution of a PUD agreement for this amendment. However, the project was delayed to address storm water management issues required with any future development within the Kohl's parking lot. When an option for the EDA to address both storm water management and additional parking required by the Shingle Creek Crossing ECR (Easements, Restrictions, & Covenants) ran into fiscal challenges and funding priorities, this option was eliminated and a new strategy/fiscal approach was necessary. Through the cooperative efforts of Gatlin Development, HOM Furniture, and the City's consultants a new economic strategy involving the creative use of TIF Pay -As -You -Go Notes from both TIF 5 and TIF7 was developed. Additionally, this strategy included the design and installation of the Storm Water Management improvements to be installed on-site by HOM as part of their initial renovation and expansion of the Kohl's building. Additionally, during this time it was determined that minor adjustment to the Master Development Plan were warranted to address a future subdivision of the EDA parcel that was referenced in the initial staff memo and the reduction of the size of the office building to meet its parking requirements on-site. The minor revisions to the PUD development plan include a reduction in Building Pad Site F from 14,000 sf. to 12,000 sf. and a reorientation and reduction of Building Pad Site X, reducing the office sf. from 48,000 sf. to 38,000 sf. The City Attorney is currently working on this PUD agreement and could include these minor revisions in the agreement for City Council acceptance at either the June 12t" or possibly the June 26t" City Council Meeting, should the Commission accept the changes. Additionally, the EDA is scheduled to consider the Tax Increment Development agreements to facilitate this new economic strategy on the June 26"' This schedule would enable Gatlin Development and HOM Furniture to complete the sales of the Kohl's site and HOM to start their renovation and expansion plans this year. I will be confirming with the City Attorney where the Commission's acceptance can be accomplished by a motion or if the previous resolution should be reworked. A recommendation on how to accept the revisions will be provided at the meeting. For your reference, the following information has been included: - City Council Resolution 2017-25 - 3 exhibits from the February PowerPoint Presentation illustrating the Building Pad Sites F&X - Planning Report on the PUD 8 application and site plan approval, (1-26-2017) - A development plan with the revised Building Pads and sizes for F and X - The revised development plan with the on-site storm water treatment area that is scheduled for the June Watershed Commission Meeting. 7.

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 2°a 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. App. No. 2017-001 PC 01/26/17 Page 1 BACKGROUND The Shingle Creek Crossing PUD Amendment proposal was submitted along with the proposed SCC Master Plan — December 2016 (shown on the image below). 70 4 r .:; g �� ♦dry �.

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 2 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. -.j L LEEP HOM POWs espress FLOORS son o� M was sow narwnox swF r -m• 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 1, 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 3 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.

Based on this requested reduction, the HOM store (and retail outlet) is indicating only 139 spaces would be allocated to HOM.

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 5 Sianne 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.

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 6 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 7 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 I st 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 8 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. Tenant S 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 9 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 amend the 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing Planned Unit Development by allowing the following uses: a) Medical Office Building - with typical tenants that may do surgeries, urgent care and treat patients in offices; b) Medical and Dental Laboratories; C) Educational Uses listed in Zoning Code Section 35-322.1.h.; d) Transient lodging, provided they are limited to hotel use only, and no motels. e) Animal Hospitals, provided any outdoor kennel runs or activity areas for pets being cared for in the hospital is screen with an opaque fence and regularly cleaned and maintained. 3. 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. Developer is granted the reduced parking ratio allowance from 4.5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of building space to 1 space per 1,000 sq. ft. and attributed to the new HOM Furniture store use only. All other uses must maintain the 4.5/1,000 ratio as prescribed in the 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing PUD Agreement. 6. Developer is allowed to expand proposed/future Building X from 19,000 sq. ft. to 48,000 sq. ft. for a medical/multi-tenant office building. A separate Site and Building Plan application will be required before any approvals are granted for the new Bldg. X App. No. 2017-001 PC 01/26/17 Page 10 improvements. 7. Developer is allowed reduced setback of 20 feet on the EDA lot (Building F) for future development if needed. A separate Site and Building Plan application will be required before any approvals are granted for the new Bldg. F improvements. 8. The allowances to omit the standard: "Drive-thru or service lanes shall be screened with berming, landscaping or fencing" is not recommended and will remain intact. 9. Developer is allowed to have all new wall signs comply with the C-2 Zone sign standards established under the Ch. 34 -Sign Code; and only one (1) new freestanding sign up to 250 sq. ft. along the HWY 100 frontage is allowed, which can either be a regular static message or dynamic sign per City Code Ch. 34. 10. Developer must obtain a building permit and adhere to all requirements prior to beginning any removals, demolition, land disturbance work, or new construction of parking, utilities or buildings. 11. Unless amended otherwise or under separate agreement, all existing provisions, standards and variations provided under the 2011 Shingle Creek Crossing PUD and subsequent amendments, shall remain in effect for the entire Shingle Creek Crossing Planned Unit Development. 12. Any future PUD amendments or application requests will require the submittal and adoption (acceptance) of an updated master plan, which plan shall govern the planned and future redevelopment areas of this site. 13. No other allowances as illustrated or indicated on the submitted "Shingle Creek Crossing PUD Amendment No. 8 Plans shall be comprehended or permitted under this specific approval. 14. The Developer shall enter into and execute an updated PUD Agreement (or similar document) as prepared by the City Attorney.

Participants divided about equally around four tables were then asked to develop consensus/consolidate responses to the three questions listed below (in bold -face type) and to record that consensus/consolidation on a large piece of paper. Presenters from each of the four groups then shared results of their individual/group exercise with a general session of all participants.
