The New Horizon Academy is a child care center that will occupy the former Hollywood Video building. The structure is 7,478 square feet and will not be expanded as part of this renovation. The center will provide a licensed capacity of 130 infants, toddlers and preschool children. School age programs will not be offered at this location. Staffing for the center at full capacity is 20 to 25 persons on staggered shift hours. The operating hours are from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM Monday through Friday. The exterior and interior of the structure will be updated to accommodate the child care center use. A full playground will be added on the east side of the structure. It will be separated into two spaces, one for the younger children and the other for the older children. Play equipment is provided with a combination of hard surface, absorbent rubber impact materials and landscape areas. The exterior of the building will be updated and enhanced as follows: 1. Blue canvas awnings to help shade the large south exposure windows. 2, New windows and exit doors in the perimeter as needed for Code exiting. 3. Removal and burying of the mountain motif remaining from Hollywood Video and creating a blue metal cap and cultured stone base piers. 4. New corner parapet feature to display signage along Neal Avenue with re- dashed stucco. 5. A large fenced playground area and a covered canopy structure at the entrance. 6. Modified parking arrangement to accommodate play areas. 7. New. landscaping. 2 Page 145 of 190 ISSUES ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan. The property is designated as Commercial on the Proposed Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan. The New Horizon Academy child care center is consistent with this land use designation. Zoning. The property is zoned PUD Commercial Planned Unit Development. The standards of the B -2 General Business District apply. Any changes to a PUD, including revisions to the parking lot and addition of the play area require an amendment to the PUD. Child care facilities in a single occupancy, freestanding building are a permitted use. Subdivision. The property is described as Lot 6, Block 1, Oak Park Ponds Addition. The lot is owned separately from the shopping center but subject to the access and cross parking easements that were put into place when the shopping center was developed. Parking. The plans indicate that with the new layout, 39 spaces will be removed and 36 spaces provided. A portion of the change to the layout will occur outside of the property within the general shopping center parking lot. The Zoning Ordinance requires the following parking requirement for child care centers: "At least one parking space for each classroom plus one additional space for each fifty (50) students." The child care center will have seven classrooms and a maximum capacity of 130 students. The parking requirement would be 10 parking spaces. Additionally there are cross easements for parking with the shopping center. The shopping center was originally constructed with a surplus of parking over what was required by the Zoning Ordinance. A representative of the shopping center owner will need to provide written consent for the changes that will occur to the parking lot on the shopping center property. Traffic Analysis. Within the project narrative, Mr. Hilger has provided an analysis of traffic for the proposed child care center: Center operating capacity: 130 children Average number of families: 107 families Average Children per vehicle (family basis): 1.21 children Typical Attendance rate per day, as a percent of capacity: 75% - 82% Total staff, typical day: 25 staff Average vehicle turn around time (in to out): 5 — 10 minutes The traffic analysis shows that the AM traffic would be 111 trips between 7 :00 and after 9:00 AM. The PM traffic would be 112 trips between 3:00 and 6:00 PM. The City 3 Page 146 of 190 Engineer shall review the traffic numbers and comment on any potential impacts to the street system. Grading!DrainagelUtilities. The plans indicate the changes required to accommodate the parking and the playground. The drainage and utility plans shall be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer and the applicable watershed district, if required. Landscaping. The plans indicate the existing as well as proposed landscape to be added to the site. The landscape plan is subject to review and approval of the City Arborist. Mechanical Screening. The existing parapet currently screens all mechanical equipment. All new mechanical equipment will need to be screened by the parapet or appropriate screening devises as specified in the Zoning Ordinance. Lighting Plans. Parking Lot Fixtures. The existing parking lot lights will not change with the exception of one pole and light that will be relocated on the site. The existing parking lot lights are full cut off and compliant with the Zoning Ordinance. Building Wall Fixtures. The elevation plans indicate the locations of the new wall light fixtures. They are an architectural LED wall sconce that appears to be full cut off. Mr. Hilger should confirm that the lens is installed such that it is completely shielded by the body of the fixture. Signage. Freestanding Signage. There is no freestanding signage proposed. The applicants have the option of locating signage on the existing shopping center freestanding monument and pylon signs if space is available. Wall Signage. The Zoning Ordinance allows for a total of two wall signs, each on separate facades. The current proposal provides for placement of the New Horizon Academy logo on the east, south and west elevations. A variance is required for the third wall sign. The Zoning Ordinance allows for up to 18 percent of the front building facade (400 square feet) to a maximum of 500 square feet of signage in the Destination Retail Highway Sign District. The plans indicate a total of 256 square feet of signage with the three proposed signs. A review of the variance criteria for the proposed third wall sign is found in another section near the end of this Planning Report. Sign Illumination. All of the proposed signs will be internally lit individual letter signs and in compliance with the sign requirements for illumination. 4 Page 147 of 190 Design Guidelines. Sustainable Guidelines. The applicant should address how the project has been designed to achieve at least a certain degree of sustainability. The applicant will need to discuss the plans with the Planning Commission and indicate if these issues have been addressed. Architectural Guidelines. Facade Treatments The building was originally constructed with a definite base, middle and top. The main building elements will not be significantly changed with this remodel. The proposed raised entrance feature will add to the building appearance. Ground Level Expression This is a one story building with a proposed entrance feature at east elevation. The main entrances will be well defined with the raised parapet, awning and signage. Awnings Blue cloth awnings are proposed over the windows.

Variance criteria are provided in Section 401.04 of the Oak Park Heights Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Commission and the City Council should review the following criteria and conditions to determine if the variance is justified. Review Criteria. The Planning Commission and City Council should make a finding of fact that the proposed action will not: a. Impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property. b. Unreasonably increase the congestion in the public street. c. Have the effect of allowing any district uses prohibited therein, permit a lesser degree of flood protection than the flood protection elevation for the particular area or permit standards which are lower than those required by State law. d. Increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety. e. Unreasonably diminish or impair established property values within the neighborhood, or in any way be contrary to the intent of this Ordinance. f. Violate the intent and purpose of the Comprehensive Plan. g. Violate any of the terms or conditions of Item 5, below. Conditions for Approval. A variance from the terms of this Ordinance shall not be granted unless it can be demonstrated that: a. 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. 1) Special cases may include exceptional topographic or water conditions or, in the case of an existing lot or parcel of record, narrowness, shallowness, insufficient area or shape of the property. 2) Undue hardship caused by the special conditions and circumstances may not be solely economic in nature, if a reasonable use of the property exists under the terms of this Title. 3) Special conditions and circumstances causing undue hardship shall not be a result of lot size or building location when the lot qualifies as a buildable parcel. b. Literal interpretation of the provisions of this Ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this ordinance or deny the applicant the ability to put the property in question to a reasonable use. c. The special conditions and circumstances causing the undue hardship do not result from the actions of the applicant. d. Granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Ordinance to other lands, structure or buildings n the same district under the same conditions. e. The request is not a result of non - conforming lands, structures or buildings in the same district. f. The request is not a use variance. g. The variance requested is the minimum variance necessary to accomplish the intended purpose of the applicant. h. The request does not create an inconvenience to neighboring properties and uses. The applicants have requested the third sign to assure identification of the business and building in an area that is not visible from major highways or streets. Due to the location of this business in that is not visible from Highways 5 or 36 and has limited visibility from 58 Street, the applicants have indicated that allowing only two signs would cause an undue hardship for their business and the ability of parents to locate the building. A number of other businesses in this area including the Burger King have asked for and received a similar variance for additional wall signage. The proposed signs are relatively small in size and granting a variance request for one additional sign will not create an inconvenience to neighboring properties and uses. The overall proposed signage is 144 square feet less than what is allowable. The City created the Destination 7 Page 150 of 190 Retail Highway Sign District in that it recognized the issues with visibility in this area. For these reasons, City staff recommends that the additional wall sign be approved. CONCLUSION I RECOMMENDATION Upon review of the requests for the PUD Amendment, sign variance and Design Guidelines review, City Staff would recommend the project with the conditions as follows: 1. A representative of the shopping center owner shall provide written consent to the City for the changes that will occur to the parking lot on the shopping center property. 2. The City Engineer shall review the parking analysis and comment on any potential impacts to the street system. 3. The Planning Commission should discuss the sign variance and determine whether the request for the one additional sign is justified. 4. The sign specifications and methods of illumination shall be subject to review and approval of the City Planner at the time of permitting. 5. All lighting fixtures shall be full cut off and installed in compliance with the lighting standards of the Zoning Ordinance. All visible interior lighting shall also be full cut off. The lighting specifications shall be subject to review and approval of the City Planner at the time of permitting. 6. Mechanical equipment that is located on the roof and visible from street level or from neighborhood properties shall be screened with materials that blend harmoniously with the building facade materials. 7. The applicant shall address sustainability initiatives with the Planning Commission. 8. The Planning Commission should comment on the building material selection and colors. A materials board shall be provided by the applicant for the Planning Commission to review. 9. The applicant shall provide plans for the storage structure subject to review of the Planning Commission and City Council. 10. The grading, drainage and utility plans shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer and the applicable watershed district. 8 Page 151 of 190 11. A bike rack shall be added at the front entrance of the building. 12. The landscape plans are subject to review and approval of the City Arborist. pc: Eric Johnson, Julie Hultman 9 Page 152 of 190 A RECOMMENDING RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF OAK PARK HEIGHTS WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING FINDINGS OF FACT AND RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE REQUEST BY NH PARTNERS - OAK PARK HEIGHTS FOR A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT, DESIGN GUIDELINES REVIEW AND VARIANCE FOR ONE ADDITIONAL WALL SIGN FOR A NEW HORIZON ACADEMY CHILD CARE CENTER AT 5903 NEAL AVENUE NORTH SHOULD BE APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS WHEREAS, the City of Oak Park Heights has received a request from NH Partners — Oak Park heights for a Planned Unit Development Amendment, Design Guidelines review and Variance for one additional wall sign for a New Horizon Academy child care center at 5903 Neal Avenue North; and after having conducted a public hearing relative thereto, the Planning Commission of Oak Park Heights makes the following findings of fact: 1.
