COMMUNITY PLANNING 0 DESIGN a MARKET RESEARCH PLANNING REPORT TO: Mike Robertson FROM: Cary Teague/Scott Richards DATE: 7 December 1995 RE: Oak Park Heights - Stillwater Ford - Rezoning/CUP FILE NO: 79E3.02 - 95.21 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background 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 6onditiona1 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. Attached for Reference; Exhibit A - Site Location Exhibit B Specific Lots Exhibit C - Existing Stillwater Ford Site Exhibit D - Site Plan Exhibit E Grading & Drainage Exhibit F - Lighting Plans Exhibit G . Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map •v 5775 Wayzata Blvd.- Suite 555 ° St. Louis Park, MN 55416 ° (612) 595-9636-Fax. 595-9837 ISSUES AND ANALYSIS Rezoning IC. 03/0q , i ' -` 1 • In consideration of the rezoning, a determination must be made in regard to the acceptability of the proposed land use. As mentioned previously, the applicant has requested a rezoning of the property from 0-Open Space to E3-2 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. 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. CompatibiRtyl 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 Commercial (Stillwater) of Highway 36 South • • Agriculture/Undeveloped 0 - Open Space East Stillwater Ford B-2 - General Business W.est Stillwater Motors (Township) Commercial (Township) 2 As indicated above, the surrounding and uses include • � commercial and open therefore, the proposed re space, zoning of the property to B -2 is considered consistent with the surrounding land uses. Area Depreciation: An expansion of commercial use in this area would not negatively effect property values in the area. Conditional Use Permit gvaJution criteria :, The purpose of a conditional use ermit is to provide City provide the ��ty of Oak Park Heights with a reasonable degree of discretion in determining certain the suitability of certain designated uses upon the general welfare ublic health alth and safety, In making this determination, whether or not the conditional use is to be all City the arty may consider the nature of the adjoining land or buildings, whether or not a similar . � �m�lar use is already in existence and located on the same premises or on other lands immediately close by, the effect upon traffic into and from the premises, or any adjoining roads, � g ds, and all such other or further factors as the City may deem a prerequisite of consideration determining r� �n determ�n�ng the effect of such use on the general welfare, public health and safety. Y As mentioned above, the proposed use is an expansion ion � of the Sti1lwatr Ford car dealership. Adjacent uses are compatible, including nother car dealership dealership to the. west. Section 401.11. D.6, of the Oak Park lei zoning Heights zoning ordinance states that open or , outdoor service, sale and rental as an accessory use is a conditional) permitted p m fitted use within the B- 2, General Business zoning district provided the following: 1 outside service, sales and equipment rental connected p with the principal use i limited to thirty ( percent of the ross floor area of the e principai use. This provision of the ordinance is not pertinent to outdoor car p sales lots. It is intended to regulate outdoor sales of a much more limited capacity adjacent to retail sales operations with a majority of their inventory within the enclosed nclosed structured 2 outside sales areas are fenced or screened from - • d fr view of neighborin residential uses or an residential � n abutting residential district in compliance with Section o �n 4O1.O3.B.7 of the oak Park Heights zoning ordinance. There are no residential uses existing or anticipated to abut � p ut this use, therefore, screening or fencing is not necessary. The parking lots required p g hall be required to have at least a five foot setback • area from the property lines that will be landscaped. 3 .2o,.3 r 1-',U4/08. Freestanding Sign Wall Signs All 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. 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 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 WinDOT'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 parkingisaies area. Said landscape plan shall be submitted to the City and approved by the City Council before issuance of the signed conditional use permit. 6 30 feet tall May not exceed the the height of the parapet wall or eave. 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. 7. The applicant shall submit a detailed signage plan, including all existing and proposed wait signs and freestanding signs. 8.

Community Development Director Danielson noted that the Planning Commission and City staff recommended denying the request for five additional flood lights, requiring the existing lights to comply with height requirements and approving a variance to allow eight fixtures to remain at less than the ten foot setback requirement.

PLANNING REPORT — Addendum TO: Kimberly Kamper FROM: Scott Richards DATE: December 6, 2001 RE: Oak Park Heights — Stillwater Ford: Amended CUP and Lighting Variance FILE NO: 798.02 — 01.09 5775 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 55 'St. Louis Park, N 65416 • Telephone: 952.695,9636 FaOsimile: 952.595.9837 planners@nacpianning.com As you are aware, the Goldridge Group asked that consideration of the conditional use permit (CUP) and variance to address lighting issues at the Stillwater Ford dealership be continued to the December 13, 2001 Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission had first .considered the request at the September meeting. The applicant has further refined the lighting plan and to include fixtures that comply with the maximum height requirements. A revised lighting plan has been submitted for review and approval. Attached for reference: Exhibit A: Exhibit B: Existing/Future Setbacks Photometric Plan ANALYSIS Fixture Height The applicant has indicated that all of the freestanding 'fixtures currently on the site do not comply with the 25 foot height requirement for light sources on a pole. The new plan proposes that all of the fixtures would have a 23 foot pole height and would be mounted on a two foot base. With the new plan, all freestanding fixtures would be compliant with the Zoning Ordinance and the original conditional use permit approval. Building Light Fixtures. Alt of the fixtures that have been installed on the building are compliant with the Zoning Ordinance standards. Flood Light.s. Five flood lights have been mounted on light poles to provide architectural building lighting. These fixtures were not part of the original approvals. Section 401.15.13.7 specifies that "architectural/historical light fixtures that feature ,g qv+ pet not shielded, or lighting of entire facades or architectural features of a be approved by the City Council." This approval does not require a variance. Staff has reviewed the site at night and noted that the flood lights are directed at the cars in the lot and not at the building facade. Photometrics A revised photometric plan has been submitted including the light intensities with the new plan. Section 401.15.B.7 of the Zoning Ordinance requires the following: "d. Intensity. No light source or combination thereof which cast light on a public street shall exceed one (1) foot candle meter reading. as measured from the . centerline of said street nor shall any light source or combination thereof which casts light on adjacent property exceed four-tenths (0.4) foot candles as measured at the property line, per the method outlined in Section 401.15.B.7.e." The revised plan indicates that with glare shields, light levels on the east property line would be less than 0.4 foot candles at five feet below grade. The site elevation at the edge of the parking area falls significantly on the property to the east. Thus, the proposed lighting on the property line is acceptable. The light intensities on the south property line far exceed the 0.4 foot candle requirement. Even with glare shieldw, a variance and amended CUP would be required to allow the light intensities at the proposed levels. The light intensities nearest the street are all compliant with the one foot candle requirement. Fixture Setback. The revised site plan does not include moving the light fixtures that are less than 10 feet from a street right-of-way. Eight fixtures on Neal Avenue/60 Street North have been found to be non-compliant with the 10 foot requirement. The applicant requests variance and conditional use permit approval for those fixtures in that moving the lights and light bases would result in a • loss of car display area and place fixtures in areas of the parking lot where they would be difficult for parking lot maintenance. The hardship is that many of the fixtures were located on or near the property line prior to the City adopting the light standards and setback for fixtures. The Zoning Ordinance review criteria for variances is found in the planning report dated October 2, 2001. RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION City staff makes the following findings and recommendations related to the request and revised site plan: 2 1. The five flood lights focu on the front facade significantly increases the light intensity and light glare on the site. Due to the proximity of the freestanding � fixtures to the front of the building and the fact that all of the wall signs are back lit, the building facade and signs are adequately lit without the need for additional flood lights. In fact, it appears as though the five flood lights are focused on cars and not the building facade. The Planning Commission should recommend to the City Council that the five floodlights be removed. 2. The revised site lan should be further revised such that the site is comp l iarit with ■ intensity � • ■ w i the light intensity requirements of the Zoning ordinance. Shielding should be placed such that no more than 0.4 foot candles of Tight be cast on the south i property line. The plan as proposed for the east property line is acceptable. 3. The requested variance for fixture setback is acceptable to staff in that many of the fixture bases existed before the 10 foot setback requirement was included in the Zoning Ordinance as part of the lighting standards adopted in 1997. The boulevard area between the curb and property line is approximately 30 feet along Neal Avenue and bo Street. The fixtures are adequately set back from the curb even if they are less than 10 feet from the property line. City staff recommends the variance and CUP for the eight freestanding fixture setbacks, removal of the five flood lights, and compliance with Zoning Ordinance requirements for light intensity with the following conditions: 1. All freestanding light fixtures shall be replaced with fixtures and light sources that do not exceed a total height of 25 feet. 2. The five flood lights shall be removed. No additional flood lighting of the building facades or sales lot shall be allowed. 3, The lighting plan shall be revised to reflect a light intensity in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance requirements. All fixtures shall be installed such that the Tight intensity is compliant with the Zoning ordinance requirements. The applicant shall ovide proof of compliance once all of the lighting fixtures are installed on p p p site. 4. The Planning Commission recommend and the City council approve a variance and amended CUP to allow the eight freestanding fixtures to remain at less than the 10 foot setback requirement. 5.

Fixtures on Neal Avenue have been found not to be compliant With this requirement. The approved conditional use permit includes a condition `that all outdoor lighting along the site perimeter is located not less than ten (10) feet from the street right -of-way or five (5) feet from an internal or rear lot line." An amended conditional use permit is required to vary from the approval conditions and a variance is nedessary to vary from the ordinance standards. The applicant shall be required to provide a plan indicating the location of the non- compliant fixtures. Fixture Height. Section 401.15.B.7. Outdoor Lighting requires that ;the maximum height above the ground grade permitted for light sources mounted on a pole is twenty - five ( feet." A number of fixtures existing on the site do not meet the requirement in that the light source and fixture is over 25 feet in height. The approved conditional use permit includes a condition that "all outdoor lighting poles must be reduced to twenty - five (25) feet in height." The amended conditional use permit is required to vary from the approved conditions and the variance from ordinance standards. The plan should indicate the location of those fixtures that exceed the approved height. Photometric. The plans as attached include the photometrics of the existing site as well as plans reflecting changes. to the lighting to decrease the intensity. .of lights. Section 401.15.Bd7. Outdoor lighting requires the following: d. Intensity. No light source or combination thereof which cast light on a public street shall exceed one (1) foot candle meter reading as measured from the centerline of said street nor shall any light source or combination thereof which cast light on adjacent property exceed four - tenths (O!4) foot candles as measured at the property line, per the method outlined in Section 40t .15. B.7.e. The revised plan (Exhibit 3) is consistent with the requirements for photometrics at the centerline of Neal Avenue. The plan will need to be revised so that the maximum intensity of .04 foot candles is maintained at the east and south property lines. Variance Review. Zoning Ordinance Section 401.04.A.5 states that a variance from the terms of the ordinance shall not be granted unless it can be demonstrated that: 1. Undue hardship will result if the variance is denied due to the existence of special conditions and circumstances which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district.
