The description of project by Mr. Phillips within the project narrative is as follows: Background: Leonard Investments, LLC is purchasing the property at 14702 60 Street North from Wells Fargo Bank. The property has been an automotive sales and service facility in the past. The most recent dealer closed the facility about 4 years ago due to severe legal and financial difficulties. Proposed Use and Zoning: The proposed use for the property remains new and used car sales and service of vehicles. There will be no body shop or paint booth at the new facility. The underlying zoning is B2 General Business. This application is for an Interim Use Permit to re -open the facility. Initially, Leonard Investments will operate a Jeep franchise at the property. Proposed Timing of Future Site Improvements: There are changes proposed to the frontage road and intersection of Osgood Avenue and Highway 36. These changes are related to the construction of the new bridge over the St. Croix River. Leonard Investments will propose plans for a new dealership facility or substantial renovations to be started with 24 months after the final roadway plans and City redevelopment guidelines are available. Signage: A signage plan has been submitted. The requested signage is less than allowed. Please note that the Fury and Jeep signs on the front fascia are separate as a condition of the Chrysler approval. There is a request for a temporary display of a new Jeep displayed on a pile of boulders with signage announcing the re- opening of the property. Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Commercial on the Proposed Land Use Map. The use of the property for automotive sales and service is consistent with this land use designation. Zoning Ordinance. The property is zoned B -2, General Business District in which automotive sales and service is a Conditional Use. The Applicant has applied for approval under an Interim Use Permit to occupy the existing building and site until a new dealership facility or a substantial renovation is proposed. In that this will be a temporary facility for the dealership, the application is being processed as an Interim Use Permit so that an end date can be placed on the approvals. 2 8 of 30 Amended IUP - City of OPH City Staff has discussed the timeline with the Applicants and a three year limit on the Interim Use Permit was agreed upon. The timeline could be extended by the City Council prior to the expiration of the permit. Section 401.05. Administration — Interim Use Permits outlines the allowances and criteria for uses that are to be located on a property for a limited time period. The criteria for the Interim Use are reviewed later in this report. The report also includes a review of the Conditional Use Permit criteria for automotive sales and service. Even though a CUP is not being considered, the criteria are relevant to the review of a car dealership. Parking and Traffic. There is adequate parking for a car dealership, customers and employees. Lighting. The existing light fixtures will not be changed at this time. Any new lighting of the site or at the time of renovation the site will need to be in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and subject to review and approval of City staff. Signage. A temporary signage plan has been proposed that would consist of two wall signs on the facade facing 60 Street. Two other informational signs are on the west elevation indicating service and the express lane for service. The signs are considered temporary and are within the size limitations for this business. One freestanding sign is proposed that will be 20 feet in height and consist of 53.5 square feet. Overall the total square footage of site signage is 179.5 square feet. The Applicants have proposed a display with a Jeep on a pile of boulders with signage announcing the re- opening of the property as a vehicle dealership. The Planning Commission should discuss if any additional limits on allowing this signage should be placed on the approvals. Trees /Landscaping. The Applicants are not proposing any changes to the landscaping at this time. They do concede that maintenance of the existing plantings is necessary and will contact the City Arborist for assistance in determining the maintenance required. Grading and Drainage. There will be no grading or drainage changes to the site. Any grading and drainage issues shall be addressed subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. Mechanical Screening. Any additional mechanical equipment added to the building or site will need to be screened in accordance with Zoning Ordinance requirements. Trash /Recycling. The Applicants should address where trash and recycling containers will be stored. The Planning Commission should determine if the containers should be screened. 3 9 of 30 Amended IUP - City of OPH • I Design Guidelines.

TPC 3601 Thurston Avenue N, Suite 100 Anoka, MN 55303 Phone: 763.231.5840 Facsimile: 763.427.0520 TPC@PlanningCo.com PLANNING REPORT TO: Eric Johnson FROM: Scott Richards DATE: February 6, 2013 RE: Oak Park Heights — Fury — Additional Signage - Interim Use Permit —14702 60 Street North FILE NO: 236.02 —12.08 BACKGROUND Jim Leonard, of Leonard Investments (Fury), has made application for an Interim Use Permit to allow additional signage at 14702 60 Street North. Originally the intent was to just sell the Jeep brand at this location. Chrysler Group has indicated that the dealership shall sell Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles out of this location. As a result, the need to advertise each of the brands is necessary. At the October 23, 2012 meeting, the City Council approved an Interim Use Permit to allow the existing building and site to be used as a temporary facility for the dealership. Approval of the use was granted for a period of three years, with the possibility of an extension by the City Council. With that approval, the existing building and site was allowed to be used until such time as a new building with site improvements would be approved with a Conditional Use Permit. The request for additional signage would typically require a variance. The application is being processed as an Interim Use Permit in that the wall signage and the freestanding sign structure at the main entrance would be temporary until a new building is constructed. Attached for reference: Exhibit 1: Previously Approved Exterior Elevations and Signage Details (A3.0) Exhibit 2: Proposed Front Elevation Freestanding Sign and Wall Signage Exhibit 3: Graphic of Proposed Freestanding Sign Exhibit 4: Proposed Rear Service Sign 23 of 30 Amended IUP - City of OPH • Exhibit 5: Existing /Proposed Sign Sizes ISSUES ANALYSIS Project Description. The request is to add a 24 foot, freestanding sign structure at the front entrance of the dealership building and increase the amount of wall signs to a total of five. The previous approvals allowed for two wall signs on the facade facing 60 Street and two other informational signs on the west elevation indicating service and the express lane for service. Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Commercial on the Proposed Land Use Map. The use of the property for automotive sales and service is consistent with this land use designation. Zoning Ordinance. The property is zoned B -2, General Business District in which automotive sales and service is a Conditional Use. The Applicant has been granted approval under an Interim Use Permit to allow for use of the building until a new dealership facility or a substantial renovation is proposed. In that this will be a temporary facility for the dealership, the application for additional signage is also being processed as an Interim Use Permit so that an end date can be placed on the approvals. The previous approval granted a three year limit on the Interim Use Permit. If approval is granted for the application for additional signage, it will be tied to the same timeline as the previous approval. Section 401.05. Administration — Interim Use Permits outlines the allowances and criteria for uses that are to be located on a property for a limited time period. The criteria for the Interim Use are reviewed later in this report. Signage. The temporary signage plan that was granted by the City Council in October of 2012 consisted of two wall signs on the facade facing 60 Street. Two other informational signs were proposed on the west elevation indicating service and the express lane for service. One freestanding sign was proposed that will be 20 feet in height and consist of 53.5 square feet. The sign permit has been issued for the freestanding sign, but it has not been installed. The current proposal includes four wall signs in the front and one service sign on the west elevation for a total of 114.4 square feet. The freestanding sign at the front entrance will have a Fury sign that is 25.8 square feet. The freestanding sign that has already been approved is 53.5 square feet. The total signage proposed for the site is 193.7 square feet. This is well within the overall allowance of 350 square feet for the site. The proposed freestanding sign at the front entrance is proposed at 24 feet. The sign requirements allow a maximum height of freestanding signs at 20 feet. The applicant 2 24 of 30 Amended IUP - City of OPH should revise the plan to make the sign compliant with the Ordinance. Also, in that the sign is a temporary feature, the applicant should consider whether this sign is at all necessary. The Fury label could be placed above the front door of the building. Design Guidelines. The reuse of the existing structure for a car dealership shall be on a temporary basis. The building changes and the temporary signage will not be subject to Design Guidelines review. Interim Use Criteria: Section 401.05.0 of the Interim Use Permit section specifies a number of criteria for the review and approval of a use. A review of those criteria are as follows: 2. New Uses. a. Conforms to all zoning regulations as otherwise applicable. Comment: The use will be required to comply with Zoning Ordinance use standards and conform with performance standards for improvements made to the building and site. b. The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty. Comment: The use will be allowed to continue for three years from the date of the initial City Council approval. c. The existence of the use will not impose additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to take the property in the future. Comment: There should be no issues with public costs. d. The user agrees to any conditions that the City Council deems appropriate for permission of the use. Comment: The applicant will be required to agree to the conditions in writing. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Based upon the preceding review, City Staff recommends approval of the Interim Use Permit to allow additional signage at 14702 60 Street North subject to the following conditions: 1. The Interim Use allowances for signage shall be limited to three years from the date of City Council approval of the Interim Use Permit for the dealership (October 23, 2012). The applicant may request an extension of the Interim Use Permit by the City Council prior to its expiration. 3 25 of 30 Amended IUP - City of OPH 2. The City will not require conformance with the Design Guidelines as part of the Interim Use approval. 3. The plan for the freestanding sign at the front entrance shall be revised so that the structure is no more than 20 feet in height. The Planning Commission may want to indicate whether the freestanding sign is justified in that it will only be utilized for three years. In the alternative the Fury label could be placed on the building facade. 4. The sign specifications and methods of illumination shall be subject to review and approval of the City Planner at the time of permitting. 4 26 of 30 Amended IUP - City of OPH C I .,.. . -- - • -- , -....... .- .4=‘,1 ............ -....0..- ,.... 1 ; 0 • .
