The Redbox has been placed on the sidewalk at the southwest corner of the store without prior CUP approvals. The current application requests that it be allowed to remain. The site is zoned B-2 General Business District. An Amended CUP is required in that the original approvals limited outdoor sales to only ice and propane sales in locked enclosures. The original CUP for the Holiday Stationstore was approved March of 2016. EXHIBITS The review is based upon the following submittals: Exhibit 1: Application Letter, Jim Moldaschel — February 2019 Exhibit 2: Site Plan with Redbox Location Exhibit 3: Site Photos(Two Pictures) PROJECT DESCRIPTION The letter from Jim Moldaschel, found as Exhibit 1, describes the project. The project description indicates the following: "Thank you for meeting with me on February 6 regarding the conditional use permit for the Redbox outside our Holiday Stationstore #237. As we discussed, Holiday is very sorry for neglecting to obtain the proper permit before the Redbox was installed and hope we can rectify the situation. Many of our customers rent movies from the Redbox when they are at the store for other purchases so we would like to keep it in place." ISSUES ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan. The property is designated as Commercial on the Proposed Land Use Map. The fuel station, convenience store and car wash are consistent with this land use designation. Zoning. The property is zoned B-2 General Business District. A CUP was approved in March of 2016 to allow for construction of the Holiday Stationstore in this location. One of the conditions of the approval limited the outdoor sales for the store to the following: 12. Only ice and propane sales in locked enclosures shall be allowed for outdoor sales. The City has placed this condition on other fuel stations, most recently the Kwik Trip, to limit the amount of outdoor storage and sales. The City Council has wanted to limit these outdoor sales, such as for firewood, softener salt or wood chips to assure the appearance of the site is kept neat and to reduce hazard they may create. The Redbox is a contained unit, fits on the sidewalk without blocking visibility or pedestrians, and will not create any appearance issues. There is parking in front of the Redbox with easy access for customers. The criteria found in Section 401.03.A.7 of the Zoning Ordinance must be considered when reviewing a request for this type. Conditional Use Permit. The Planning Commission should consider the following issues in making its recommendation. The CUP criteria, found in Section 401.03.A.7 of the Zoning Ordinance, are found as follows: 1. Relationship to the specific policies and provisions of the municipal comprehensive plan. 2. The conformity with present and future land uses in the area. 3. The environmental issues and geographic area involved. 4. Whether the use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. 5. The impact on character of the surrounding area. 6. The demonstrated need for such use. 7. Traffic generation by the use in relation to capabilities of streets serving the property. 8. The impact upon existing public services and facilities including parks, schools, streets, and utilities, and the City's service capacity. 9. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained herein (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.). Comment: The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and will not create any land use issues. There will be no environmental issues or impact to surrounding tenants or property owners. The Redbox is placed at the southwest corner of the store with customer parking directly in front. There would be no traffic or pedestrian issues created with the Redbox at this location. There is no impact upon public services and facilities. City Staff sees no issues with the Redbox placement at the Holiday Stationstore. Parking. Parking is not significantly impacted by the Redbox. No parking spaces are removed, and no additional parking is required for the Redbox. Grading/Drainage/Utilities. In that the Redbox is to be placed on an existing sidewalk, there are no grading, drainage or utility issues created by the Redbox. Lighting. There is no additional lighting required for the Redbox. Signage. The Redbox includes signage, but no additional signage is being requested. The Redbox signs do not affect the overall allowable site signage. CONCLUSION 1 RECOMMENDATION Upon review of the request for an Amended CUP to allow a Redbox at the exterior of the Holiday Stationstore at 5997 Osgood Avenue North, City Staff would recommend the project with the conditions as follows: 1. The Redbox shall not be moved from its current location nor shall a different Redbox be placed onsite unless approved by City Staff. 2. Any additional signage proposed for the site for the Redbox shall be in compliance with Section 401.15.G of the Zoning Ordinance and will require a sign permit. 3. Any additional lighting proposed for the Redbox shall be in compliance with Section 401.15.B.7 of the Zoning Ordinance and approved by the City.
