The application includes requests for a Conditional Use Permit amendment and Design Guidelines review. The Conditional Use Permit amendment is requested to allow for an extension of the timeline for required improvements to the dealership. The Design Guidelines review is required to allow retrofit of the building to be consistent with the current banded image of Chevrolet. In July 2008, the City Council approved the Conditional Use Permit to allow for an extension of timelines for the improvements to August 31, 2013. That was an extension, originally approved in 2005, to allow the deferment of required improvements related to parking setbacks, lighting, curbs and stormwater drainage systems, in the northeast and southeast corners of the site. The 2008 resolution and permit are found as Exhibit 7 to this report. EXHIBITS The review is based upon the following submittals: Exhibit 1: Project Narrative — February 8, 2012 Exhibit 2: Site Plan (A1) Exhibit 3: Elevation Plans (A2) Exhibit 4: Proposed Elevation Perspective Exhibit 5: Sign Plan(A3) Exhibit 6: Pictures of Existing Elevations Exhibit 7: Resolution and Conditional Use Permit — July 22, 2008 PROJECT DESCRIPTION DJ Raduenz has submitted a project narrative with the following statement regarding the request for the conditional use permit amendment and the site plan and Design Guidelines review: "1. A request to modify the exterior look of Stillwater Motors, to be in compliance with the current branded image of Chevrolet, and 2. A request to defer the deadline for upgrading the curbing and lighting improvements, and 3. Stillwater Motors has been a vital part of the St. Croix Valley for the past 90 years and at our present site in Oak Park Heights for the past 39 years. We have enjoyed our relationship with the community and look forward to a long relationship into the future. Chevrolet has developed a corporate brand that they would like incorporated into each and every one of their stores. This involves some significant changes to both the interior and exterior of the store. At this time, we respectfully request your assistance in reviewing and approving the attached modifications, as presented." The applicant has provided a perspective diagram and elevations that provides the new plans for the exterior of the store. With this request, there are also changes to the wall signage that have been proposed. There would be no changes to the site plan, driveways, parking Tots, lighting, landscaping or freestanding signs with this request. Stillwater Motors was originally constructed within Baytown Township. Many of the Zoning performance standards of the Township, especially related to parking setbacks, lighting, curbs and stormwater drainage systems were different from what the City required. Now that the dealership is within the City, the City Council over the years has been working with the ownership to make the necessary improvements so that the site will eventually be consistent with the City requirements. In 2008, the City Council granted a five year extension to August 31, 2013 for the improvements to the parking setbacks, lighting, curbs and stormwater drainage systems. With the added expense to update the look of the dealership, the applicant has again requested that a deferment be granted for these site improvements for an additional five years to August 31, 2018. ISSUES ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan. The property is designated as Commercial on the Proposed Land Use Map. Stillwater Motors is consistent with this land use designation. 2 Zoning. The property is zoned B -3 Highway Business and Warehouse District. Automobile dealerships are a listed conditional use permit in this district. Stillwater Motors has been operating under a conditional use permit and any significant changes to the site or the previous conditions of approval require an amended conditional use permit. The applicant has asked to change the timeline for the required site improvements to August 31, 2018, thus requiring the amended conditional use permit. Access. There are no changes to the access points of this dealership proposed with these improvements. Parking. There are no changes to the parking lot proposed with these improvements. Grading /Drainage /Utilities. Grading, drainage and utilities are not being changed with this request. Lighting and Landscaping. There are no changes to the lighting or landscaping proposed with these improvements. Signage. The original approvals for a variance to wall signs were granted on July 26, 2005. The dealership is allowed 10 wall signs and three pylon signs. The site was approved with a total of 655 square feet of signage and that is what exists today. The site plans indicate minor changes to the signage for the dealership as part of the exterior improvements. The plans show that the Stillwater Motors sign over the main entrance on the south elevation to be changed to read Chevrolet. The total square footage of the new sign is approximately one square foot less than the existing sign. A new sign totaling 78 square feet is proposed on the south elevation and will read Stillwater Motors. This will bring the total signage up to the allowable 10 wall signs but increase the total signage over the allowed 655 square feet. The applicants will need to remove at 78 square feet of signage elsewhere if they want to place the Stillwater Motors sign on the south elevation. There are no changes proposed to the existing pylon signs. Design Guidelines. The provisions of the Design Guidelines are found in italics followed by Staff comment. Sustainable Guidelines. For private sector developments and redevelopment, the City shall encourage and promote the application of sustainable development practices. Comment: The applicant will need to discuss whether sustainable products or systems have been incorporated in the plans for the remodel with the Planning Commission. 3 Architectural Guidelines. Facade Treatments Defined Base, Middle and Top Buildings should have a well- defined base, middle and top. The base or ground floor should appear visually distinct from the upper stories through the use of a change in building materials, window shape or size, an intermediate cornice line, an awning, arcade or portico or similar techniques. Comment: On the front or southeast elevation the revised design does not feature a well defined middle or top. The existing building features a base element with a strong definition of the middle and top defined by the entrance canopy. The front entrance of the new building is less defined and lacks visual interest. On the other elevations, the proposed design does provide design elements to separate the building facades, but a strong top element is missing in most cases. Distinct Modules The primary fagade(s) of buildings should be articulated into smaller increments of no more than 30 feet in width through the use of different textures, division into storefronts with separate display windows, ornamental features such as arcades or awnings, or by division of the building mass into several small segments. Comment: Through the use of differing materials, windows, colors and textures to wall surfaces, all of the facades are broken into smaller increments. Entries The main entry must always face the primary street, or access roadway at sidewalk grade. Comment: The primary entry faces Stillwater Boulevard. The entry is not being changed with this remodel. Awnings Where awnings are used, canvas or fabric awnings are preferred. Awnings should closely complement the building's architectural character and aesthetics. Internally illuminated awnings are prohibited. Comment: There is an existing metal canopy at the front entrance that will be repainted. The canopy is now a different color than the building behind it which helps define the main entrance. On the proposed design, the canopy and the building behind it will all be painted the same Chevrolet blue color. Ground Level Expression Ground level expression refers to the way in which a building meets the street. Methods should be use to distinguish the ground floor of a building from upper floors, such as 4 creating an intermediate cornice line, using different building materials or detailing, and using awnings, trellises or arcades. Windows and clear entrances may also be used to enhance a building's appearance on the street, and may be further augmented by pocket parks, outdoor cafe seating and plantings adjacent to the front facade. Comment: The building currently has good ground level expression that will be carried over to the new design. The front currently has outdoor seating areas. The applicant should clarify if that will remain with the new design. Transparency — Window &Door Openings Window and Door Design • Windows should be designed with recessed openings to create a strong rhythm of light and shadow. • Mirrored glass or glass block should not be used on street - facing facades. Glazing in windows and doors should be clear or slightly tinted, allowing views into and out of the interior. • Window shape, size and patterns should emphasize the intended organization of the facade and the definition of the building. • Display windows of at least 3 feet deep may be use to meet these requirements, but no windows located above eye level. Comment: The window openings would remain, but the dark bronze window mullions would be replaced with clear mullions. The clear mullions would not be as visible, especially from the adjacent roadways. The result may be large window expanses without the definition visible mullions would provide. Level of Transparency Where commercial or office uses are found on the ground floor, at least 20 percent of the ground floor primary (street- facing or access roadway) facade and 15 percent of each side or rear facade shall consist of window and door openings designed as specified above. Note that spandrel glass may be use on the up to half of the window and door surfaces on any building facade. Comment: The latest remodel of this building occurred before the most recent Design Guidelines were put in effect. For the most part, the window openings are not being changed. It appears as though the upper window above the main entrance is being reduced in size. The applicant should clarify. Entries Primary building entrances on all buildings should face the primary abutting public street, access roadway or walkway, or link to that street by clearly defined and visible walkway or courtyard. Additional secondary entrances may be oriented to a secondary street of parking area. In the case of a corner building or a building abutting more than one street, the street with the higher classification shall be considered primary. 5 The main entrance should be place at sidewalk grade. Entries shall be designed with one or more of the following: • Canopy, portico, overhang, arcade or arch above the entrance. • Recesses or projections in the building fagade surrounding the entrance. Peaked roof or raised parapet over the door. • Display windows surrounding the entrance. • Architectural detailing such as tile work or ornamental moldings. • Permanent planters or window boxes for landscaping. Comment: The existing main entrance on the southeast elevation will remain in place. The existing entrance is facing the primary roadway. The new design will feature new prefinished blue metal panels and the canopy to match. The entrance will not be as well defined and not as easy to differentiate from other wall surfaces. Roof Design Roof Design A building's roofline can establish its individuality and interest within the context of commercial or industrial areas, and variety in rooflines from building to building can add visual interest to mixed -use and residential areas. Some suggested techniques that add interest include varying heights and cornices within an otherwise unified design scheme, using roofline changes to note entrances or commercial bays, and establishing rooflines at street corners. Comment: The buildings roofline will not be changed with this remodel. Rooftop Equipment • All rooftop equipment shall be screened from view from across adjacent properties, adjacent streets and pedestrian views from adjacent sidewalks. If the building rooftop equipment is screened by the building's parapet, the parapet must meet building height limits. Rooftop equipment shall be set back from any primary fagade that fronts a public street a distance equal to at least 1 % times its height. No enclosure shall be larger than 25 percent of the roof area. Screens shall be of durable, permanent materials (not including wood) that are compatible with the primary building materials in quality and color. Comment: The plans do not indicate any changes to the locations of rooftop equipment or the screening of the mechanical units. The applicant should comment. Building Materials and Colors All Districts Building Colors Building colors should accent, blend with, or complement the surroundings. Principal building colors should generally consist of neutral or muted colors with low reflectance. 6 "Warm- toned" colors are encouraged because of their year -round appeal. No more than three principal colors should be used on a facade or individual storefront. Bright or primary colors are acceptable when determined through the design and review process to be appropriate for the site and building use. Comment: The current building features "warm toned" colors in browns and creams that are generally neutral and compatible with most of the new development within the City. The proposed Chevrolet blue, silver and white colors are at odds with this provision and are not consistent with new construction or redevelopment of buildings within the City since these Design Guidelines were adopted in 2010. Commercial Districts Building Materials All buildings should be constructed of high - quality materials: The primary building materials should cover at least 60 percent of the facade. The materials must be integrally colored and may consist of brick, natural stone, precast concrete units, architectural precast concrete panels or glass. Secondary building materials should cover no more than 30 percent of the facade and may consist of decorative block, fiber cement board, stucco or EFIS. • Accent materials may be used on up to 10 percent of any of the building's facades. These materials may include door and window frames, lintels, cornices, architectural metalwork, glass block, copper flashing or similar materials. Roof materials that are acceptable include prefinished metal with a flat standing seam, untreated copper, slate and asphalt. Comment: The use of the metal panels on the front or southeast facade, the south facade and the east facade is not consistent with the provisions for primary building materials. Much of the new construction within the City has featured brick and glass as the primary building materials with decorative block and EFIS as secondary materials. The building as it exists is not in conformance but has been grandfathered in that it was constructed prior to the current Design Guidelines. Any significant change to the exterior of a building would now need to conform to these Guidelines. The proposed design and material selection would not be consistent. Prohibited Materials • Unadorned, plain or painted concrete block. Unadorned, precast concrete panels. • Aluminum, vinyl, fiberglass, asphalt or fiberboard (masonite) siding. Building color wraps or neon as a building accent. Comment: The applicant should clarify the material to be used for the metal panels. 7 Franchise Architecture Franchise establishments typically desire a specific architectural motif in order to emphasize consistency in their network and attract regular customers. In many cases, this standardized architecture conflicts with a unique regional architecture and character desired for the community. There are ways, however, of incorporating the franchise's desire signage and even some building treatments, while still encouraging the basic principles of commercial building design listed above. Franchises or national chains should follow these guidelines to create context - sensitive buildings that are sustainable and reusable. Drive - through canopies and accessory structures, when required, shall be constructed of the same materials as the primary building, with the same level of architectural quality and detailing. Comment: The use of the metal panels and the change to the corporate colors is an attempt by General Motors to standardize the appearance of its Chevrolet dealerships. Other franchises have constructed buildings in Oak Park Heights in recent years and under the current Design Guidelines. In all cases these designs have been approved in that there was an attempt to comply with the provisions of the Guidelines. The selected materials, the colors and the design is proposed so that this dealership will look like all the other Chevrolet dealerships. There has been no attempt to provide consistency with the Guidelines. Site Design Guidelines. I I Building Placement/Site Planning Comment: No changes proposed as part of this application.

CONCLUSION / RECOMMENDATION Based upon the preceding review, Staff would recommend that the Planning Commission favorably consider the request for the timeline extension with the conditions listed below. Further, it is recommended that the proposed exterior remodel be denied in that it is not consistent with the Design Guidelines. The existing building was constructed prior to the adoption of the most recent Design Standards approved in 2010. That building as it exists is grandfathered. Any remodel of the exterior of a building shall be brought into conformance with the Design Guidelines as currently in effect. If the Planning Commission concurs with Staff, a list of findings of why the proposal is not in conformance will be created and incorporated into the Planning Commission resolution. City Staff would recommend the Conditional Use Permit Amendment be approved with the following conditions. 1. All parking setbacks, curbs and stormwater drainage systems, in the northeast and southeast corners of the site, shall be constructed and brought into compliance with the Zoning Regulations no later than August 31, 2018. 2. All other conditions approved on July 22, 2008 by the City Council in Resolution 08 -07 -31 and recorded with the Conditional Use Permit and Variance for Raduenz Dealership Properties LLC shall remain in effect. 9 S te eh ozer) ,, t MOTORS.com EXHIBIT 1 CHEVROLET aap= BUICK • FAMILY OWNED SINCE 1922 • 5900 Stillwater Boulevard North • P.O.
