PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Applicant has indicated that the project is an "Amendment to a CUP/PUD to allow
for construction of a tire storage building, and a brand refresh to the existing building".
The new tire storage building is a 28 square foot x 28 square foot building to be
constructed to the east of the Discount Storage building in the parking lot. Ten parking
stalls will be removed as part of the construction. The building is to be constructed with
CMU and EFS trim to match the primary structure. The building will have a metal roof.
The signs on the building are being changed out and one added with the new corporate
logo.
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Pian. The property is designated as Commercial on the Proposed
Land Use Map. The continued use of the site for retail and service commercial use is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Zoning. The property is zoned B-2 General Business District. The Shoppes of Oak
Park Heights development, which includes the Discount Tire, was approved as a PUD
in 2004 to allow multiple commercial buildings within the development with shared
access and parking. The PUD is an overlay of the B-2 District. The approval of
Discount Tire in 2004 allowed for three wall signs. At the time, only two were allowed
per freestanding business.
A CUP/PUD is required for the addition of the tire storage building. An amended CUP is
required to allow the fourth wall sign.
Signage. The four wall signs proposed are all 60 square feet for a total of 240 square
feet. The ordinance allows for a total of 200 square feet of wall signage. The request
for the fourth sign will also include the allowance for the additional 40 square feet of
signage. The signs are to be back lit.
Setbacks. The tire storage building meets all accessory building setback requirements.
Traffic Circulation. Traffic circulation within the site will not be impacted by this site
change and the addition of the building.
Parking. Ten parking stalls are being removed that makes the site more in
conformance with the new parking standards.
Lighting. The pians do not show any additional lighting being added as part of the tire
storage building. If fixtures are added, lighting shall be full cut off and shall be consistent
with Section 401.15.13.7 of the Zoning Ordinance as it relates to lighting requirements.
2
Trees/Landscaping. The City Arborist has provided a report addressing the tree
removal and replacement. The final landscape plan is subject to the review and
approval of the City Arborist.
Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control and Utilities. No grading, drainage and utility
plans were required for this project.
Design Guidelines. The proposed structure and site changes are consistent with the
Design Guidelines. The accessory building will match the existing Discount Tire
building in materials and colors.
Building Height. The building height maximum for accessory buildings is 20 feet. The
proposed building is 11 feet.
Section 401.03.A.7 City Council and Planning Commission Considerations.
The Planning Commission and City Council should also consider the conditional use
permit criteria, found in Section 401.03.A.7 of the Zoning Ordinance, 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.
S. The demonstrated need for such use.
7. Trac 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 Planning Commission and City Council should review the above
criteria regarding the request for the Conditional Use Permit. The storage building and
sign changes will not have an adverse impact on the surrounding area or neighbors.
The City Arborist has provided a review of the tree replacement to improve the
appearance of the site. City Staff has no issues with the request as proposed and would
recommend with conditions.
CONCLUSION I RECOMMENDATION
Subject to the preceding review, City staff recommends approval of the Amended
Conditional Use Permit/Planned Unit Development and Design Guideline/Site Plan
Review for 13341 60th Street North for the following and subject to the conditions that
follow:
3
• Amended Conditional Use PermittPlanned Unit Development for the tire storage
building.

of the Zoning Ordinance as it relates to lighting requirements.
2. The final landscape plan is subject to the review and approval of the City Arborist
3. All conditions of the PUD approval granted on April 27, 2004 for the Shoppes of

building in materials and colors.
Building Height. The building height maximum for accessory buildings is 20 feet. The
proposed building is 11 feet.
Section 401.03.A.7 City Council and Planning Commission Considerations.
The Planning Commission and City Council should also consider the conditional use
permit criteria, found in Section 401.03.A.7 of the Zoning Ordinance, as follows:
1. Relationship to the specific policies and provisions of the munlcipai
comprehensive plan.
2. The conformity with present and feature land uses in the area.
3. The environmentsl lssues and geographlc area Involved.
4. Whether the use V411 tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is
proposed.
5. The lmpeci an character of the swTounding 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 uti!lties, and the City's service capacity.
S. The proposed use's conformity with all penbrmance standards contained
herein (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.).
Comment: The Planning Commission and City Council should review the above
criteria regarding the request for the Conditional Use Permit. The storage building and
sign changes will not have an adverse impact on the surrounding area or neighbors.
The 0(ty Arborist has provided a review of the tree replacement to improve the
appearance of the site. City Staff has no issues with the request as proposed and would
recommend with conditions.
