Roll Call: Commission Members present-Thompson, Fiorendino, Schmitt, Peterson, and Szurek. Also present were Jeff Sargent (City Planner), Shelley Hanson (Secretary), and Bruce Kelzenberg (Council Liaison). Motion by Peterson, seconded by Fiorendino, to approve the minutes Fom the meeting of October 3, 2006. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. PUBLIC HEARINGS , CASE: APPLICANT: LOCATION: REQUEST: 2006-1102 Eric Wade Russell 3806 Jackson Street VARIANCE A 5-foot side yard setback variance to the north, a 15- foot side yard setback variance to the south for a new house, and two 3-foot side yard setback variances for a driveway. INTRODUCTION At this time, Wade Russell is requesting four (4) variances in association with the constlUction of a new house located just south of the house located at 3806 Jackson Street. Two variances are needed for the placement of the principal structure on the property. They include a 5-foot side yard setback variance to the north lot line and a I5-foot side yard setback variance to the south lot line, per Code Section 9.109 (C). The other two variances are needed for the placement of a shared driveway. Both properties will require a 3-foot side yard setback variance for the driveway per Code Section 9.1 09 (C). The applicant proposes to construct a new house just south of the existing house located at 3806 Jackson Street. The current legal description of the property in question describes two separate lots. Because these are buildable lots of record, the applicant is able to split these parcels through Anoka County, and request the necessary variances through the City of Columbia Heights. The lots of records are undersized according to today's lot size requirements in the R-3 District. However, there is a provision in the Zoning Code that allows the construction of a new principal structure on a buildable lot of record, as long as the lot of record meets 60% of the minimum lot area or lot width requirements for the district in which it is located. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan guides this area towards Low Density Residential, and the proposed use is a single-family residence. The use is consistent with the types of uses found in Low Density classifications. The proposal will include a new house and garage on the southern parcel and a new garage for the existing structure on the northern parcel. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 3 NOVEMBER 8, 2006 2, The conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to the specific parcel of land involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. The subject parcel is a 40-foot lot in the R-3 District. The conditions upon which the vmiance is based are unique to all 40-foot lots in the R-3 District. By conducting a survey of all single- family houses in the R-3 District, it was determined that the average lot width for these parcels was approximately 51 feet. 3, The difficulty or hardship is caused by the provisions of this article and has not been created by any person currently having a legal interest in the property, The provisions of the Zoning Code require setback standmds that are too extreme for this particular piece of property in the R-3 District. In the R2-A District, this proposed building would not require setback variances, The applicant has not created the hardship being used to justify the granting of the variance requests, 4, The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general pUl]Jose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the Comprehensive Plan for this area is to promote Low Density Residential housing, Improvements on a pre-existing low-density parcel are consistent with the purpose and intent ofthe Comprehensive Plan. 5, The grantlng of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development or value of property or improvements in the vicinity, Granting these variance requests would support the type of housing that the Comprehensive Plan support. The addition of a new house in the area would be consistent with the type of housing surrounding it. The addition of a garage for the existing principal structure would also bring the existing propelty in more compliance, as the Zoning Code requires a minimum 20' x 20' gmage on all residential properties, After reviewing this variance application, Staff concludes that the setback requirements for the R-3 District pertaining to one and two family dwellings do not allow the construction of a single family home, Granting the applicant's variance requests would allow the applicant to use the propelty in the same fashion as any other single-family dwelling owners can utilize theirs in the R-3 District. Staff recommends approval of the variance requests, Ouestions from Commission members: Szurek asked whether the lot had been split yet. Smgent explained that the parcel was originally platted as two separate lots, The existing house sits on one of the lots, Because they were already platted as two lots, he can separate them without Council approval. Szurek questioned what address would be assigned to the new house. Sargent answered that the new address will be assigned by personnel in the Building Depmtment. Szurek then asked if the new house would meet the side yard setback of 5 feet, which is the requirement if the propelty were zoned differently, as most other residential properties are, He stated that it would meet that requirement. He went on to explain that the existing house is grmldfathered in at a 4 foot setback to the side propelty line, That is where the house was placed years ago and the property line is not being changed at all.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has held a public hearing as required by the City Zoning Code on November 8, 2006; WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the advice and recommendations of the Planning Commission regarding the effect of the proposed variance upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community and its Comprehensive Plan, as well as any concern related to traffic, property values, light, air, danger of fire, and risk to public sa~ety, in the surrounding area; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights that the City Council accepts and adopts the following findings of the Planning Commission: 1. Because of the pmticular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, where strict adherence to the provisions of this Ordinance would cause undue hardship. 2. The conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to the specific parcel of land involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning classification. 3. The difficulty or hardship is caused by the provisions of this Ordinance and has not been created by any person currently having legal interest in the property: 4. The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. 5. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development or value of property or improvements in the vicinity. FURTHER, BE IT RESOLVED, that the attached conditions, plans, maps, and other information shall become part of this variance and approval; and in granting this variance the city and the applicant agree that this variance shall become null and void if the project has not been completed within one (I) calendar year after the approval date, subject to petition for renewal of the permit. CONDITIONS: I. All application materials, maps, drffivings and other descriptive information submitted with this application shall become part of the permit. 2.

PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 7 NOVEMBER 8, 2006 With a total of 287 beds on the campus, coupled with the fact that there is no more than one bed per room, the required number of parking spaces for the entire campus is 144 stalls. Currently, the entire campus has 187 outside parking stalls and 17 covered parking stalls on site. The proposed plan would reduce the number of outside parking stalls by three (3), but would increase the number of inside parking stalls by 20. When the project is complete, the campus as a whole would include 221 parking stalls, exceeding the City's minimum requirements. Fire Access. The Fire Chief has reviewed the proposed plans for the additions to the building and the parking garage. The construction of the new parking garage would require the removal of a fire lane needed to access a portion of the campus. The Fire Chief stated that a new fire lane would need to be added to the south of the proposed 20-stall garage, to be within a minimum 150 feet of the Crest View Lutheran Home. FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104 (H) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines 9 conditions that must be met in order for the City to grant a Conditional Use Permit. They are as follows: (a) The use is one of the conditional uses listed for the zoning district in which the property is located, or is a substantially similar use as determined by the Zoning Administrator. The proposed use is specifically mentioned as a Conditional Use in the R-3, Multiple Family Residential District. (b) The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan. The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan, as it is High Density Residential. ( c) The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties. The proposed additions would be appropriate for the existing use of the buildings. The proposed additions would also meet all required setbacks for the R-3 District, and thus shall not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties. (d) The use will not substantially diminish the use of property in the immediate vicinity. All setback requirements will be met with the proposed additions to the existing structures. For this reason, the use of the properties in the immediate vicinity will not be diminished. (e) The use will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a manner that is compatible with the appearance of the existing or intended character of the surrounding area. The proposed addition to the building will not alter the way that the existing business has been operating throughout its existence. The use will be designed, constructed and maintained in a proper fashion.

All ayes. MOTION PASSED. The following Resolution will go to the City Council November 13,2006. RESOLUTION NO. XXXX RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR CREST VIEW CORPORATION WITIllN THE CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA WHEREAS, a proposal (Case #2006-1103) has been submitted by the Crest View Corporation. to the City Council requesting a conditional use permit from the City of Columbia Heights at the following site: ADDRESS: 4444 Reservoir Boulevard LEGAL DESCRIPTION: On file at City Hall. THE APPLICANT SEEKS THE FOLLOWING PERMIT: A Conditional Use Permit pel' Code Section 9.109 (G)(3)(i), to allow an addition to a senior living facility in the R-3, Limited Multiple-Family Residential District. WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has held a public hearing as required by the city Zoning Code on November 8, 2006; WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the advice and recommendations of the Planning Commission regarding the effect of the proposed conditional use permit upon the health, safety, and welfare of the community and its Comprehensive Plan, as well as any concerns related to compatibility of uses, traffic, property values, light, ail', danger of tire, and risk to public safety in the surrounding areas; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights after reviewing thc proposal, that the City Council accepts and adopts the following findings of the Planning Commission: 1. The use is one of the conditional uses listed for the zoning district in which the property is located, 01' is a substantially similar use as determined by the Zoning Administrator. 2. The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. 3. The use will not impose hazards or distributing influences on neighboring propelties. 4. The use will not substantially diminish the use of propelty in the immediate vicinity. 5. The use will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a manner that is compatible with the appearance of the existing or intended character of the surrounding area. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE II NOVEMBER 8, 2006 Comforts of Home provides various types of senior housing and levels of care to its customers, but will focus on an assisted living facility in Columbia Heights. The proposed Comforts of Home building will incorporate a Montessori school as well. The school will be run independently from the assisted living facility, and will be located on the north end of the building. The southern parcel will be approximately one (l) acre in size. This property will be a commercial pad and possibly the location of a new City-owned liquor store. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan guides the property at 2101 - 37'h Avenue "Commercial". Consequently, the proposed use of the land would not meet the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, the property needs to be reguided to High Density Residential to allow for an assisted living facility. For this reason, the applicant is requesting a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to reguide the nOlihern parcel from "Commercial" to "High Density Residential". It should be noted that the parcel just north of the subject propeliy is also guided towards High Density Residential in the Comprehensive Plan. Zoning Ordinance The propeliy at 2101 - 37'h Avenue is currently zoned GB, General Business. As part of the overall request for the use of the land, the applicant would like to rezone the northern 2.47 acres of the property to R-3, Limited Multiple Family Residential. This zoning classification is consistent with abutting property zoning classifications, and would enable Comforts of I-Iome to locate on the parcel with a Conditional Use Permit. The R-3, Limited Multiple Family Residential District requires a minimum of 400 square feet of land area for everyone (1) unit for a congregate living facility. The proposed assisted living facility will have 58 units, requiring a minimum of 23,200 square feet of land. The proposed land area for the parcel will be 107,593 square feet, meeting the minimum land area requirement for the district. FINDINGS OF FACT Zoning Amendment Section 9.1 04 (F) of the Columbia Heights zoning code requires that the City Council make each of the following findings before approving a zoning amendment: 1. The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed zoning amendment will rezone a portion of the subject property from GB, General Business, to R-3, Limited Multiple Family Residential. The applicant is concurrently requesting a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, which would make the proposed zoning amendment consistent with the new Comprehensive Plan designation of J-Jigh Density Residential. 2. The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a single property owner. The proposed zoning amendment would rezone a parcel of land for the proposed use of a senior assisted living facility. This type of use would be a benefit to the general public. The Comprehensive Plan indicates a housing goal of life-cycle housing available to the public. It also encourages the City to ensure that the community's elderly residents and residents with special needs have safe, sanitary and affordable housing. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 13 NOVEMBER 8, 2006 Ouestions from Commission members: Fiorendino asked when the Lot Split would need to occur? Sargent stated that by approving the Preliminary Plat, the lot split is complete. Fiorendino then asked why staff thinks it is better to develop the site as residential rather than commercial? Sargent responded that one goal of the Comprehensive Plan is to ensure that life cycle housing is kept up and that Sr. housing is provided for current residents. Because this site has already been vacant for more than two yeaTs without much interest from commercial developers, staff felt it would be a nice fit for that area. By abutting the new Assisted Living Bldg. to the current apmiments that house mostly seniors to the n01ih, this is a natural fit to the area overlooking Hart Lake. It is exactly what the City wanted to do with this area, even though only a small part is being done at this time. The question was asked ifthe City would be purchasing the site for the possible Liquor Store or leasing the space. Sargent said if the plan goes through, the City would be purchasing the site, but a final decision has not been made on that at this time. Schmitt questioned how a Liquor store could be located so closely to the Montessori School. We have a 300 foot minimum distance between such uses according to our City Ordinance. Sargent explained that if the Liquor Store were to be located first, the Montessori School could then locate there if they so choose. However, ifthe Montessori School were there first, then the 'Liquor Store would not be allowed to go in that close to the school. All pmiies are aware of the proposed plans, and have determined that it wouldn't be an issue. I-Ie said there would be approximately 220 ft between the two buildings as the planned commercial site is being moved forwm'd toward 37th Avenue. Right now, the current Liquor Store is in much closer proximity to where the Montessori School would possibly be located. Sargent went on to explain that at this time the Commission is not being asked to approve a site plan and that the Liquor Store is just a proposed use of the conunercial site at this time. The decision the members must make tonight is whether to approve amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, and the Preliminary Plat. Fiorendino asked if city staff felt this was in the best interest of the City to find a way around the Ordinance requirements, and to locate a Liquor Store at this pmiicular site. Sargent explained tllat it was not his decision to make. Peterson also felt that the welfare of the community and children should be protected and that this proposed use is not in keeping with the intent ofthe established Ordinance. Sargent again reminded members that this decision is not part of the request before them tonight. Those issues will be addressed at the time the Site Plan is considered. By then, a more concrete plan for the intended use will be known. The Public Hearing was opened: Ray Muno of3813 Hayes St. at first was concerned about losing retail property. But after looking at the plan he thought it would be a nice fit in the area. He feels storm water and drainage issues would be addressed by nice landscaping and garden areas, that in turn, will protect Hart Lake. I-Ie also thinks the Liquor Store issue is not w01ih worrying about as the current Liquor Store is actually closer to the PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE IS NOVEMBER 8, 2006 Motion by Peterson, seconded by Schmitt, that the Planning Commission recommend the City Council approve the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the guidance of the landfi'om "Commercial" to "High Density Residential". All ayes. MOTION PASSED. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Schmitt,that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the rezoning of the northern property fi'om GB, General Business, to R-3, Limited Multiple Family Residential based on following conditions of approval that have been found to be necessary to protect the public interest and ensure compliance with the provisions of the Zoning and Development Ordinance, including: 1. The approval of the rezoning of the property is contingent on the Metropolitan Council's approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. All ayes. MOTION PASSED. The following Ordinance and Resolntions will go to the City Council November 13,2006. Sargent explained the Ordinance will have to have two readings, and will become effective 30 days later. Once that is in effect and the Comprehensive Plan has been amended, then the Final Plat, Site Plan, and Conditional Use Permits can be addressed.

The project does not trigger storm water management requirements under RCWD rules and does not impact wetlands or floodplains. Drainage routes are proposed to remain the same. Therefore, no permit from the District will be required for this project as proposed. Please contact us if you have any questions or if the scope of your project changes, so we can determine if you require a permit. ~~ Ken Powell Permit Coordinator Cc: District Inspector/Engineer City of Columbia Heights RCWD 06-138R BOARD OF MANAGERS "" Andrew J.
