COMMUNITY PLANNING REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PLANNING DESIGN MARK ET RESEARCH TO: Mike Robertson FROM: Cary Teague/Scott Richards DATE: 7 December 1995 RE: Oak Park Heights Stillwater Ford Rezoning/CUP FILE NO: 798.02 95.21 Mr. Dennis Hecker, Stillwater Ford-Lincoln-Mercury, is requesting a rezoning of property containing the existing Stillwater Ford and adjacent undeveloped property, from 0-Open Space to B-2 General Business, in order to expand the outdoor parking/sales and service area. The subject property was part of land annexed in March of 1991. All of the land within the annexation area is held in an "0", Open Space Conservation zoning classification, until which time appropriate zoning is requested. Additionally, the applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to allow open and outdoor service and sales as an accessory use. The applicant has recently purchased the subject property, which is located south of Highway 36 and west of Norell Avenue.

As mentioned previously, the applicant has requested a rezoning of the property from 0-Open Space to B-2 General Business. Rezoning Evaluation Criteria: Section 401.16 A. 5 of the Zoning Ordinance directs the City Council to consider the possible adverse effects of the proposed amendment. Its judgements must be based upon (but not limited to) the following factors: 1. Relationship to the municipal comprehensive plan. 2. The geographical area involved. 3. Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. 4. The character of the surrounding area. 5, The demonstrated need for such use. 612 595 9837 P.03/08 Comprehensive Plan: The existing land use plan, as contained within the Comprehensive Plan designates the subject site for commercial uses. The site is located within Planning District #17, which also designates the subject property for commercial uses. Compatibility: The Zoning Ordinance stipulates that the proposed use should be compatible with present and future and uses and the character of the area. In determining the acceptability of the proposed zoning amendment, it is beneficial to examine surrounding land uses. The following is a listing of uses and zoning designations which surround the subject site: Direction North Commercial north side of Highway 36 South Agriculture/Undeveloped 0 Open Space East Stillwater Ford B-2 General Business West Stillwater Motors (Township) Commercial (Township) 2 Zoning Commercial (Stillwater) As indicated above, the surrounding land uses include nclude commercial and ace therefore, the s open proposed rezoning p p g of the property to B is considered land us consistent with the surrounding uses, Area Depreciation: An expansion of corn in commercial use �n this area would not negatively effect property values in the area, Conditional Use Permit 812 595 9837 P.04/08 tl The purpose of a conditional use ermit is to provide p p ode the City of Oak Heights with a reasonable degree of discretion in n detern��ning the suitability of certain designated uses g upon the general welfare, public health and rr� safety. In making this determination, whether or not the conditional use is to be all owed, the City may consider the nature of the adjoining land or buildings, whether ether or not a similar use is already in existence and located on the same premises y p s or on other lands immediately close b the effect upon traffic into and from the premises, �r p es, or any adjoining roads, and all such other or further factors as the City may deem a rere u i s it p q e of consideration in determining he effect of such use on the general welfare g 9 public health and safety. As mentioned above, the proposed use is a p n expansion of the Stillwater Ford car dealership. Adjacent uses are compatible, including p uding another car dealership to the west_ Section 401 A 1 D.6, of the Oak Park Heights zoning g g ordnance states that open or outdoor service, sale and rental as an accessory use is a conditionally permitted use within the B- 2, General Business zoning district rovided the following: p Outside service, sales and equipment re rental connected with the principal use is limited to thirty percent of the rose floor f r area of the principal use. This provision of the ordinance is not ertinent to p outdoor car sales lots. It is intended to regulate outdoor sales of a much more limited t d capacity adjacent to retail sales operations with a majority of their inventory within the enclosed structure. 2. outside sales areas are fenced or i scre�:ned from view of neighboring residential uses or an abutting residential in identtal district in compliance with Section 401.038.7 of the oak Park Heights zoning g ordrnance There are no residential uses existing or anticipated pated to abut this use, therefore, additional screening or fencing is not necessary. The a parking tat shaft be required to have at least a five foot setback area from the property lines that will be landscaped. 3 14 Ub 3 All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source shall not be visible from the public right -of -way or from neighboring residences and shall be in compliance with Section 401.03.B.8 of the Oak Park Heights zoning ordinance. 4s Sales area is grassed or surfaced to control dust. 612 595 9837 P.05/ e Section 401.03.5 of the Oak Park Heights zoning ordinance states that any lighting used to illuminate an off-street parking area shall be arranged to deflect light away from any public street. The applicant has submitted a lighting plan which is subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. The sales area is to be paved with bituminous surfacing, therefore, dust wilt not be an issue. 5. The provisions of Section 401.15.A.5 of this Ordinance are considered and satisfactorily met. The provisions of Section 401.16.A.5 of the Oak Park Heights Zoning Ordinance are considered satisfied if the conditions outlined in the recommendation section are complied with. Subdivision Existing 60th Street is proposed to be realigned by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The details and exact location of the realigned roadway have not been determined as of yet, however, the realignment will likely run north-south through the subject properties. The Stillwater Ford property would need to be subdivided at that time to establish right -of -way and development parcels to the west of 00th Street. Required Property Subdivisions As currently proposed, the expanded parking /sales area is located on a separate lot of record owned by the applicant. Section 401.03.E.6 of the Oak Park Heights zoning ordinance states that accessory off street parking must be on the same lot under the same ownership as the principal use being served. The applicant is required to combine both lots through subdivision, in order to locate the entire expanded parking /sales area on the same lot as the existing Stillwater Ford. A subdivision of the entire parcel will be required at the time the right -of -way for the alignment of 60th Street is needed by MnDOT. Lots would be divided to the west of the right-of-way for commercial development and a lot would be created for the Stillwater Ford property. Park dedication for the entire property would be required at that time. 4 Other Issues 612 595 9837 Po06/08 gcs_e_s;. No additional access is proposed to the site. Access will continue to be gained off of the existing 60th Street entrances. Variance Request: Section 401.03_E.h.(16) of the Oak Park Heights Zoning Ordinance states that the curb barrier around parking lots must be set at least five (5) feet back from all property lines. Because the proposed parking lot is located on both lots, the applicant is requesting a variance to Section 401.03. However, because the applicant is required to combine the properties in order to locate the proposed parking /sales area on the same lot as the existing Stillwater Ford, a variance is not necessary. When the properties are eventually subdivided, the curb barrier of the perking lot must be set at least five feet back from all property lines. parkin a�le� Lod construction: Per section 401.03 all plans uns for surfacing and drainage of driveways and stalls for five (5) or more vehicles shall be submitted to the City for his review and the final drainage plan shall be subject to his written approval. Per section 401.03.E.16, all off street p rking areas shall have a perimeter curb barrier around the entire parking lot Grass plantings or p surfacing material shall be provided in all areas bordering the parking area. Landscaping: The applicant must submit a detailed l p an showing the proposed landscaping. Grass, plantings or surfacing material g must be provided in all areas bordering the proposed parking /sales area These areas hall be landscaped with trees, shrubs and/or hedges to enhance the visual appearance of the site and entrances A landscaping plan shall be required for City review and nd city Council approval before issuance of a conditional use permit form. Grading Drainage: The applicant has submitted a grading and drainage plan (Exhibit E). Said plan and its grading and drainage issues are e sub4ect to review and approval of the City Engineer and the Browns Creek Watershed District. Vii_ nagm The applicant has not submitted sufficient information �nformation on the existing and proposed waif signage and freestanding signage to present an accurate g p u ate review. it should be mentioned that the maximum n requirements for signage gage are as follows. 5 Sign type Freestanding Sign Wall Signs CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION Maximum Area Max. Height 150 square feet in area or 15% of the building facade whichever is less 1 Freestanding Sign allowed 150 square feet in area or 15% of the building facade whichever is less 1 Wall Sign allowed 6 612 595 9837 P,07/09 30 feet tail May not exceed the the height of the parapet wall or eave. Alt proposed signage should meet the above requirements. If the applicant's signage proposal exceeds any of the above requirements, then a variance must be requested, however, as with all variance requests, there are no guarantees of approval. Based on the information within this report, a rezoning of the property to B-2 is consistent with the Oak Park Heights Comprehensive Plan, therefore, our office recommends approval of the rezoning request. Further, our office recommends approval of the proposed conditional use permit to expand the outdoor parking/sales area as an accessory use subject to the following conditions: 1. The subject properties, owned by the applicant, must be combined in order for the proposed outdoor parking/sales area and the existing Stillwater Ford business to be located on the same parcel of record. The applicant shall provide copies of the recorded documents to the City upon completion. 2. Upon MnDOT's determination of the specific location of the 60th Street realignment, the applicant must submit an application for a subdivision to set aside right-of-way and create specific parcels. Park dedication for the entire parcel would be required at that time. 3. The relocated proposed parking/sales lot must maintain, at minimum, a five foot setback from all property lines. This parking area must have a perimeter curb barrier around the entire lot. 4. The applicant shall submit a detailed landscape plan showing all existing and proposed landscaping, including all proposed grass, plantings or surfacing material provided in areas bordering the proposed parking/sales area. Said landscape plan shall be submitted to the City and approved by the City Council before issuance of the signed conditional use permit. 612 595 9837 5. The proposed lighting plan is subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. 6. The proposed grading and drainage plan is subject to review and approval of the City Engineer and the Browns Creek Watershed District. The applicant shall submit a detailed signage plan, including all existing and proposed wall signs and freestanding signs. 8.

As s you are aware, the City Council approved the B ®2 zoning amendment, site plan and CUP for the building expansion, but needed a Planning Commission recommendation to act on the request for the major auto repair use No one was present from Stillwater Ford nor did members of the public speak at the hearing. The Planning Commission reviewed the request and made their recommendation based upon the conditions found in the October 14, 1999 planning report. The recommended conditions fora approval of the requested quested SUP are as follows. Planning Commission changes have been highlighted. 1. All automobile repair activities shall be conducted principal w�th�n the pr�ncipal structure and all exterior service access doors shall be kept closed a p tall times, except for moving vehicles in and out of the service area. 2.
