PUBLIC HEARINGS CASE NUMBER: 2010-0101 APPLICANT: City of Calumbia l~eights LOC'ATION: Caty Wide REQUEST: Zoning Amendment for LED Signs ~At~K~i~(~iI1T~1i~ On July 13, 2009, the Ciry Council issued a six-inonth emergency inoratorium on the issuance of LED sign permits throughout the city. The ratianale behind the moratorium was to study whether newiy adopted language pertaining ta LED signs was consistent with the intent of the ardinance that the City Cauncil passed. The intent of the LED sign ardinance was to permit dynamic LED signs anly as an integral part of a monument sign, with the exce~tion of inotor fuel stations, which may utilize such signage on existing pylon signs in order to display fuel prices or~ly. It was discovered that the language speeifying that motar fuel s~ation5 ~nay onl~ utilize dynamic LED signs as a part ~f existi~ig ~yloi~ ~ig71s to dis~la~ only fuel prices was inadvertently omitted from the ardinance. At this time, St~ff recommends amending the City Cade as it pertains to LED signs to a11ow for motor fuel stations to only be allowed to utilize LED siQna~e on an existing p~lon sign if the messa~e of the displa~s motor fuel prices anly. COMPI2EHENSIVE PLAN One of the goals of the Coizlprehensive Plan is to preseive and ei~liance the existing viable commercial areas within the coinmunity, and to promote reinvestinent in properties by the cominercial and indus~rial sectars. Allowing dynamic si~,mage is a way fo enhance economic vitality by ~iving the commercial awners a mechanism t~ advertise their bnsaness in an efficient and aesthetic manner. Limiting the use of the LED signag~e to irtonum~ent siglls only will l~elp keep will co~~tribute ta the aesthetic appeal of the cominercial sectars. ZONING ORDINANCE Sectioll 9.106 (P)(8)1 currently states that "Dyna~nic LED signs are allowed only on monument signs for coi~ditionally permitted used in all zoning districts, with the exception of motor fuel stations, whieh may display LED sigi~s as a part of the pyIon sign. Dynamic LED signs may occupy no more tllan fifty percent (50%) of the aetual copy and graphic area. Tl~e remainder af the sign must not have the capability ta have dynamic LED signs, even if l~ot used. Only one, contiguous dynamic display area is allowed on a sign face". Planning & Loning Cominissian Minutes Page 2 January 5, 2010 The praposed language would limit motor fuel stations to display only fuel prices as LED signs on existing pylon signs. FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104 (F) of the Columbia Heights zoning code requires that the City Council make each of the fol~owing four findings before approving a zoning amendment: The amendinent is cansistent with the Camprehensi~~e Plan. One of the goals of the Comprehen~sive PZan is to p~°eserve c~nd enhance the existing viable commercial aNeas within the con~n~unzty, and to pNOrrtote ~einvestment in p~~opertie.s by the comrnercial and in~dustr•ial sectors. Allotiving dynamic signage is a way to enhc~n~ee econo~nic vztality by giving the comynercial owners a meehanism to ad~~e~t~ise their business in an effzcient and aesthetic manner~. Limiting the use of the LED signage to monurr~ent szgns only ivill help keep will cont~ribute to the aesthetic a~peaZ of the ca~nm~r~eial sectors. 2. The amendment is in the public interest and is not salely for the I~enefit of a sil~gle property owner. The p~^oposed arr~endrYrent would affect all commercially zoned prope~^ties throughout the city and is yiot solely fo~ the benefit of a single propeNty owner. 3. Where the amendment is to change the zoning ciassification of a particular property, the existing use af the property and the zanin~ classification of praperty within the gen~ral area of the property in question are colnpatible with the propased zoning classification. Tlze amendment would nat change the z~ning elassificatior~~ of a~articular pr~o~ef-ty. 4. Where the amendment is to change the zolling classification of a particular praperty, there has been a change ii~ the eharacter ar trend of development in tlle general area of the property in question, which has taken place since such property was placed in the current zaning classificatioiz. The amend»~ent wo~rld yaot ehange the zoning clnssi~ecztion of a pa~^tieulczr pr~ope~~ty. Staff rec~mr~sel~ds app~°oval of the proposed ~~nirig Ainei~dinent. Questions from members: Szurek asked if the language on page 2 of the staff report is how the current Ordinance reads. Sargent stated it was. He then went on to explaiil how the language revision would affect what type of advertising messages businesses could display. Schrriitt asked if pylan signs were sti11 allawed along University Avenue, and if so, wauld this prevent those businesses from having LED displays as part of their signs. Sargent stated they could have a LED display of the dollar ainount only. He went oi1 to say if this proves to be a problem, the Coinlnission could re-address this at a later time. Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes Page 3 January 5, 2010 She then asked if Jeff, Bobby & Steve's is still planning on cllanging their sign. Sargent stated they haven't obtained their permit to do sa yet. He said the CUP for a fu11 dynamic display was approved by the City Council prior to the moratorium being put in place, and prior to this change in language to the Ordinance. Scl~nitt asked if he hasn't obtained the permit by the time the Ordinance becomes effective, would they stili be able to get one. Sargent said he has to check with the City Attorney for the answer to that question. Public Hearing Opened. No one ~~as present to speak on this matter. Public Hearin~ Closed. Motion dy Schrnitt; seconded byPeterson, that the P'lannzng Com~~~ission recorrirnehcls the C'ity Council ap~rave the ~NOposed zoning amendment. All ayes. MOTION PASSEI~. The flowing draft Ordinance will go to the City Council at the January 1 ltj' meeting far the first reading. ~~F~' ~~~FAIV~E 1~0. ~~ BEING AN ORBINANCE AMENDING ORBIN~NCE NO. 1440, CITY CQBE OF 2005 RELATING TO LED, DYNAMIC, AND (7TNFR SiGNACiF, WITNIN THE CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS The City of Columbia Heights does ordain: Chapter 9, A~°ticle I, Secti~n 9.106 (P) of th~e Colun~~bia Heights City Code, is proposed to include the following additions ~nc~ c~eletiofzs: ~ 9,1(1~ rP~TTRAT, I~F,VF.T,(l~1ViF.NT CTAIV~AR~l~: (P) Sigr~ regulations.

PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES PAGE 4 JANUARY 5, 2010 NEW BUSINESS- None OTHER BUSINESS Parkin~ Stai1 Len~th Discussion- Commission member Thompsan had a concern that an 18 ft length for parking stalis may nat be adequate especially when there is an adjacent sidewalk between the parking space and the building. He wanted the Plarnler to bring back same information so tl~e Commission could re-address this situation. Sargent reminded members that an Ordinance was passed in April 2007 that changed the minimum length for a parking stall from 20 ft to 1& ft. He attached notes from the meeting wheee this was discussed and decided. The decision was based on the fact that we are a built out cammunity and we have some very sr~1a1~ l~ts, especially along ~entral Avenue. Therefore, some businesses need setback variances to meet the requirement of the 18 ft length of parking stalls. If we increase the length, it may prohibit business developmeizt due to the size of the Iots. He also reviewed the memo enclosed in the packets showing that most of tl~e surrounding communities have the same 18 ft requirement. Szurek said the City Council had no problem with the 18 ft lengtll and she sees no real problem leaving it at that. It eliminates the need for excessive variances. Thoinpson said he is not opposed to the present length requirement, but is concerned that if cars and tn.icks ~rP ~aeke~ ~n±c s~acPs, t~e~ Qv~rran~ ±h~ s~~e~xl~lk a~r~~ ai~~? there~;~ er~ate tuc ra~rcr.~ ~f ar~ a~cess. T~~ issUe is the widtil af the sidewalks more than the length of the stalls. He said that maybe by loaking more closelv at future site t~lans for sidewalk width wauld be the best t~lace to focus on this issue. Sarae~lt a~reed that each case sl~ould be looked at to ensure they meet a11 the minimum requirements. v V Schinitt suggested Iooking at the handicapped spats a11d sidewalks adjacent ta these spots more closely in the future. She also thought angled parking would eliininafe the ovei-hang issue. Gaiy Peterson thought the Coinmission should look at ane case at a tiine. If the site is pressed for space in the first place, ta extend the length of parkii~g s~a11s would make th~ sidewalk areas narrower. Therefore, this does not l~e1p make the sidewalk access sTtuation ar~y better. Thompson agreed. He just wanted to make the members aware that they should be taking a closer loak at this in the future. The meeting was adjourned at 7:27 pm. Respectfully submitted, Shelley Hanson Secretary CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PLANNING REPORT CASE NUMBER: 2010-0301 DATE: March 2, 2010 TO: Columbia Heights Planning Commission APPLICANT: Linder's Greenhouses, Inc. LOCATION: 4300 Central Avenue, Rainbow Parking Lot REQUEST: Interim Use Permit for Seasonal Sales PREPARED BY: Jeff Sargent, City Planner INT~ODUCTION Linder's Greenhauses has applied for an Interim Use Permit to aliow the operation of a seasonal mini-garden center for flowering plans and retail sales. The City of Columbia Heights has recently amended the ordinance regarding outdoor seasonal sales in all zoning districts, and now requires an Interim Use Permit rather than a Conditional Use Permit. The specific development standards for an outdoor sales/display establishment are found at Section 9.107 (C)(28), and vvill be added as conditions of approval far this permit. The will be the Linder's 21St year operating a temporary greenhouse at this location in Columbia Heights. The attached site plan illustrates the configuration of two structures plus a patio area in front. This site plan and configuration remains unchanged from previous years. A fence will enclose the patio and connect to each structure. The greenhause structures wili be the same as previous years with four, six-foot doors remaining open at all times during business hours. There will be at least four fire extinguishers in the Flower Mart and all smoking will be prohibited. The principal uses of the subject parcel are preexisting and comply with zoning regulations. The two structures and patio will displace approximately 30 parking spaces and a drive aisle. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan designates the property for commercial use, including retail sales, offices and service businesses. The proposal is consistent with the intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan. City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission March Z, 2010 Linder's Greenhouse - Interim Use Permit Case # 2010-0301 ZONING ORDINANCE The zoning classification for this property located at 4300 Central Avenue is GB, General Business District. Retail uses are allowed in this zoning district. Existing parking exceeds zoning requirements. Section 9.106 (L)(10) of the Zoning Ordinance requires that commercial uses provide 1 parking space for each 300 square feet of use. Therefore, the existing 144,900-square foat commercial building is required to have 483 parking spaces. After using the 30 parking spaces for the greenhouses, the site still has 598 parking spaces. Furthermare, with the location of the display area on the opposite side of the parking lot as the store entrances, the operation should not have any efFect on vehicular access for the site. PPease note that the Fire Department has reviewed the proposal and has no concerns regarding it. FINDINGS OF FACT S~ction 9.104 (H) af the Z~ning Qrdinance outlines seven findings af fact that must be met in order for the City to grant an interim use permit. They are as follows: 1. The use is one of the interim uses listed for the zoning district in which the property is located, or is a substantially similar use, as determined by the Zoning Administrator. Outdoor sales/display estab(rshments are an lnterim Use in the GB, Gerteral Business District, and are considered retail sales, which are permitted. 2. The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan gurdes the subject property for commercial use. Outdoar sales/display uses are allowed as conditional uses in all residential districts. 3. The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties. The closest residential property to the south is over 300 feet from the proposed temporary use. Ir~ ac{dition, the ame~unt af space dedicated far the greenhouse sa/es is relatively small at approximately 1, 000 square feet. Therefore, the proposed temporary use should not have any detrimental impact on neighboring properties. 4. The use will not substantially diminish the use of property in the immediate vicinity. The garden center as proposed will have no impact on the use of adjacent properties. Page 2 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission March 2, 2010 ~inder's Greenhouse - Interim Use Permit Case # 2010-0301 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. Linder's has been in operation for 20 years at this location, with the City experiencing no complaints. The proposed garden center should not negatively impact the existing character of the vicinity. 6. Adequate measures have been ar will be taken ta minimize traffic congestion on the public streets and to provide for appropriate on-site circulation of traffic. The traffic generated by the garden center will not significantly increase the tratfic on the public streets, and the site is large enough to handle additional interior traffic. 7. The use will not cause a negative cumulative effect an other uses in the immediate vicinity. As indicated by pri~r~ descriptions, the garden cer~ter should not have a rtegative impact on other uses in the immediate vicinity, which are zoned for residential and cammercial uses. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the Interim Use Permit for seasonal agricultural sales subject to conditions of approval outlined below. Motion: The Planning~ Commission ~~c~rav~~ thP Interim ~1sP Permit f~r S~~Spnal agricultural safes at 4300 Central Avenue NE from April 15 thraugh July 15, 2010, subject to certain conditions af approval that have been found to be r~ecessary to protect the public interest and ensure campliance with the provisians of the Zoning and Development 4rdinance, including: 1.

Mr. Yeary purchased the property with the intent on making major improvements in order to have apartment tenants move inta the upstairs. The proposed new siding for the building requires a site plan approval because the property is located within the Design Overlay Downtown District. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN T~S ~~!?l~?rg~?gnc~ya Pl~n ~i il~SS t~?IS ~t'P~ ~~!" r~!?1!?~!@!'~ial r~l~tPCi ~r~lv~tl~~. n~~ ~f th~ goals of the Comprehensive P6an is to provide opportunities and mechanisms for successful redevelapment af tarqeted areas within the cammunity, by enhancing the image and viability af the Centra! Avenue corridor. One way to accomplish this goal is for the businesses along Central Avenue to canfarm tc~ the Design Guidelines for comrnercial-related activity. The proposed site pfan meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. ZONING ORDINANCE The property is located in th~ CBD, Ce~tral Business ~istrict, as are the properties to the north, south and east. The properties to the west are zoned R-3, Multiple Family Residential. The subject parcel is also located within the Design Overlay Downtown District, and is subject the regulations for such properties. DESIGN GUIDELINES BUILDING MATERIALS. The Design Guidelines specify the types of building materials City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission March 2, 2010 4048 Central Avenue, Randy Yeary Case # 2010-0304 required for all buildings along Central Avenue. A list of accepted primary materials includes: brick, natural stone, stucco and precast concrete units and concrete block, provided that surFaces are molded, serrated or treated with a textured material in order to give the wall surface a three-dimensianal character. A list of prohibited materials include: unadorned plain or painted concrete block, tilt-up concrete panels, pre- fabricated steel or sheet metal panels, aluminum, vinyl, fiberglass, asphalt or fiberboard (masonite) siding. Originally, the applicant proposed to install vinyl siding on the top half of the entire building, as he was unaware that the City had Design Guidelines gaverning the type of building materials that he may use. Once informed of the Design Guidelines, the applicant agreed to place a combination of stone and stucco on the front of the building, but contended that he would not be able to afford to cover the entire building with such materials. The applicant had a specific budget for upgrading the building prior to buying it, and discavered many more carrections that the building needed after purchasing it, which depleted his budget. Mr. Yeary's proposal is to ~over the entire front of the building with a combination of stor~e and stucco, and wrap those materials around the corr~er~ for 5 feet or s~. Frc~rn there, he would side the remainder of the building with a heavy gauge (0.046") thick vinyl siding, using Earth-tone colors. In this case, staff feels that the deviation from the Design Guidelines can be justified. This is an existing, old building in dire need of repair and upkeep. The north side of this building is located approximately 4 feet from the neighboring structure, and passersby would have difficulty seeing any type of siding on that wal(. The south side of this building is visible from Central Avenue, but not entirefy. The west side (back) of the I~~~I~~n~ ~~~ts rPsic~enti~l zQninc~ ~nc~ r~~~d~ntial uses to the west across the allev. Being that vinyl siding is typical in a residential context, stafF feels that the building wauld fit into the surrounding area. FINDINGS ~F FACT Site Plan Approval Section 9.104 (M) requires that the Planning and Zoning Commission shall make each of the fallowing findings before approving a site plan: ~. The site plan conforrr~s ta all applicabl~ requirement~ of thi5 article The proposed site plan meets all the Design Guidelines standards for building materials, but the applicant is requesting a deviation from the guidelines for a portion of the building. 2. The site plan is consistent with the applicable pravisians af the city's comprehensive plan. Page 2 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission March 2, 2010 4048 Centra) Avenue, Randy Yeary Case # 2010-0304 The proposed site plan is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in that the proposal will upgrade an existing commercial business and will enhance the image and viability of the Central Avenue corridor. 3. The site plan is consistent with any applicable area plan. There is no applicable area plan for this area. 4. The site plan minimizes any adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity and the public right-of-way. The proposed site plan will upgrade the image of the surrounding area tremendously. The proposed deviation from the Design Guidelines wiif also fit into the character af the surrounding properties as it incarporates design elements commonly seen in residential districts. RECOMNIEND~TI~fV Staff recommends approval of the proposed site plan with the proposed deviations from the Design Guidelines, as it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and will severely upgrade the appearance of the building, enhancing the image of the Central Avenue corridor. Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2010-PZ02, there being ample capies ~~~ilabl~ t~ th~ ~ublic. Move to adopt Resolutian No. 2010-PZ02, being a resalution appraving a site plan for new siding for the building located at 4048 Central Avenue.

The exteric~r of the building consisted of stucco that was in very poor c~ndition; cracked, heaving, ana falling off in several areas. It posed a hazard to any pedestrian in close proximity to the building. In August of 2009 t~~ie stuceo was completely removed, My proposed plan for replacing the exteric~r of this property coiisists of the followin~: Fror~r.t (east): The front of the building would consist of a stone and stucco inix or possibly even all sto~le. The selected stone is Bc~ulder Creek Stone, color is Grancl Canyon which is a light Gray. Each wind~~v would be trilnnlecl out witli Smart Trim which is a wood product. By trimnling out the windows with Smart Trim it would give the frc~nt of t~~e builcling a very c(ean, prof~essioi~~al loc~k. Si~le (south): As you'11 notice froln the included photos, the south wall of the building has a small 3-4 ft. alley-way that butts up against tl~e wall of the nei~hboring pool hall. 1VIy proposal for this side is to use Timber Grest Premium Vinyl Siding (.046 thickriess), Dutch lap irs Cot~alf ~lu~. It is of coa~rse a~i~aintena~~ce fr~~e siding and althougli it's a very ilice product it would have very limited visibil~ity based on the lc~catioi~ of the ~~>tall~tic~~7. ~~1_)!~Q ~d1fT}^tltl; A~;tit~~ ac vn~F'll tinf~ir_P fi•n~n thP ipc~.l~i~iP~~ r~hntnc~ t1~P r~tr~rtli gi~1.P nfthP hlria is connected to the barber shop anci ~nly the top residential portion of the build~ing requires sidin~. Again, for cc~nsistency, this side would col~sist of Timber Crest Prelzlium Vinyl Siding (.046 thickness), Dutch 1ap in Gobalt Blue. Back (west): Lastly, the reai° of the building is right across the alley from other residential properties. The back would also consist of Timber Crest Premium Vinyl Siding (.446 thiclcness), Dutch lap in Cobalt Blue. As previously stated, the overall condition of tliis building was "poor" and had not been properly maintained for years. It had becc~me an eye-sore and a hazard (due to the condition of the stucco}. Mueh work l~ias already been perforlned to date; skylights and chim»ey stacks were removed and a professional roofer capped the holes with rubber inembrane roofing, 16 new residential windows were iilstalled and all of them were reframed as were the 2 commercial storefront windows. The i-im board was replaeed on the soutll and west sides, plaster & lathe was removed in a~ll 4 apartment units, leveling of floors, new plywood on the front, south side, and rear. Going forward the plan is to have all new electrical, new pluinbii~ig, sheetrock, floorirlg, doors, trim, appliances, lightiilg, secured entralice doc~rs, new staircase in the rear, and more. I ain not attempt~ing to "cut corners" with this project~ but am tiyiizg to stay as close to my budget for remodeling this building as possible. Additional time aild lnoney ha~e already gone into the building as a result of some areas being worse than initially anticipated. Please consider and approve my applic~tion for exterior finishing. I an1 anxious to get this project completed and filled with tenants. I cail assure you that you will be very pleased with the finished product. This l~uildin~ will go from being the ugliest on the block to tl~1e absolute nicest with a very cleali, pl•ofessional appeal~ance. I Iook forward ta hearing your respanse.

They are as foElaws: 1. A mincr subdi~ision per C~de Secti~~ 9.104 (K} ta split off a pa~ti€~n of existing "Outlot A" ~s described in the Grand Gentra! Lofts plat. The nevvly created parcel will then be grouped ~vith existing Lats 1 and 2, Block 1 of the ~r~nd ~~r~tr~l Lc~fts plat tc~ ~s~~r~bBe l~rrd r~~eded far the canstruc~ion ~f t~ve~ 100-unit apartmenfi buifdings. 2.

The proposal included the canstructian of 218 tatal units of housing, consisting of three 66-€~r~it candomic~ium buildir~gs and 20 to~nrnhome~. Per the exe~uted ~~~elopm~nt Agreement, the project was to take four year to complete. Tc~ date, ~ 0 of the 20 townhames have been constructed, as well as one of the three 66-unit condaminium buildings. Since the original appraval af the Final Plat, David Klaeber has purchased the Grand Central Lafts project and has expressed the desire ta continue its development. Mr. Kloeber is praposing tc~ construct two 1 QO-unit apartrnent bui(dings, which would replace the twa ~6-unit candc~minium buildings yet ta be buift. Once constructed, fihe Grand City af Columbia Heights Planning Commission Mareh 2, 2010 Grand Centraf Apartments Case # 2010-0303 Centra! Apartment prajecf will be a completely separate entity fram the Grand Central Lafts praject with site modifications, and for this reason a new site plan appraval for the praposed development is required. It should be nated that the City's Econamic Devebpment Authority (EDA) waufd still be required to amend the ariginal Development Agreement allowing far the construction af the 200-unit apartment camplex. This approva! by the EDA has not yet been made. C~ PE~E~~~1~EVE ~LA The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for Transit C}riented Development. Specifically, the Comprehensive Plan states that these areas "will focus on the cammuting needs of Cafumbia Heights residents. As a result, a higher percentage of service-ariented cammercial/retail develapment will be necessary with high-density residential development providir~g the balance of the developr~ent. Mixed-Use pedestriae~-ariented dev~lapmer~fi near transit ~odes will pravide opp~rtunities for high- de~sity residentia( and neighborhood commercial development. Redevelopment af these areas wi61 also provide the oppartunity for pedestrian linkages to oth~r parts of fihe comrnunity and improvemen~ of the overafl nc~r~-rnotarized circulation syster~ v~rithin the cammunity that wilf heip improve the image af Coiumbia F~eights.,, ~ ~ f ~ ~E ~he subject prop~rty is zoned ~}CD, ~lixed Use Development Districf. The intenfi c~f this districfi is to encourage a flexib(e high-quafity design strategy far develo~ment arrd/ar redevelopment of specific are~s within the cammunity. Careful anaEysis af the site plan revealed elements c~f the proposal that are consisfent with the type of developments sought in the M~D Disfrict. There are three deve6opment district types within the MXD district. They include: the Transit Oriented EVlixed-Use, the Communifij Center Nlixed-Use and the Transiti~nal Mixed Use. Due ta the underlying Camprehensive Plar~ Land Use guidance of this area, the praposed praject wauld fall under the Transit Qriented Mixed-Use type. According to the Zoning Code, the purpose o# the Transit C~riented Mixed Use type is to "pramate devele~pmer~t and redevelopment that facilitates linkages and infieracfiic~n af transit services, housing and e~eighborh~od services. The focus of land use within this Page 2 City of Calumbia Heights Planning Commission March 2, 2010 Grar~d Central Rpartments Case # 2010-0303 district is ta ensure a pedestrian-friendly enviranment and pedestrian connectians to and from residential development and fransit facilities. The mix af land use shall be flexible to help facilitate a successful devefopment (12 units/acre minimum)." In the MXD, building setbacks shalf be reguPated by the final site pfan and Planning Agreement approved by the City Council, based an the follawing findings: 1. The setbacks provide aciequate distances from uses ir~ ~djacent districts. 2. The setbacks maintain and enhance the characfier af the neighbarhaod in which the mixed-use development is lacated. Although the setbaeks for th~ buildings are flexibCe, there are other elements of the proposed develapment, which require adherence ta the Zaning Code. They are as f~llows: WF~en camplete, the development as a wha(~ will incfude 20 townhomes, 66 condominiums and 200 apartments, for a tatal of 286 unifs. Ta meet the 30 units per acre requirement, these ~nits would have to be placed on 9.5 acres of land. The total development is approxim~tely 11 acres, meeting the minim~m requirernents for density. ~~r~dsc~p~ng. The Gifiy Cade requires fandscape plans that incEude a minimum o~ ane tree far every 50 feefi af street frantage or fractian thereof. Parking areas shall have a rninimum of ane aver-stary tre~ for each 20 spaces ar fracfiian thereof as well. The praperty at 4707 Central Avenue has appraximately 1,000 feet of street frontage along Grand Avenue and 47t" Avenue, and incarporates 20 ab€~ve-grade parking stalls. This requires 21 firees. The proposed plans indicate a total a~€ 116 trees and 523 shrubs, meeting the minimum requir~ments.

District PREPAREQ BY: Jeff Sargent, City Planrer INTRODUCTIaN The purpose of the R-3, Multiple Family Residential District is to provide appropriately located areas for small lot single-family dwellings, multiple-family dwellings with up to eight units per structure (town homes, condominiums and apartments), congregate living arrangements and directiy related camplementary uses. Staff has determined that the current setback requirements for the R-3 District make it extremely difficult, if not impassible, ~o buiEd addi~ior~~ or r~e~nr hornes cr~ a majority af the R-3 zo~ed properties because af the preexisting size of the properties. The purpose of the proposed zoning amendment is ta modify the setback requirements for ~ r-_-c~.- ~---'°ec---' i ~_-- e• rt__ r1 n~:_s_:-tt_ V!_ t_..,x:_.., tL....,... one ana ~vvo-ramiiy ~wening ut~i~s iocatec~ i~~ ~n~ rc-,~ uis~nc,~ w er~aui~ ~G~ isu uc,~wn i~i i u ic~c parcels without the constant need for a variance to do sa. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN One goal of the Comprehensive Plan pertaining to housing is to "preserve and expand the single-family neighborhoods as the community's strongest asset." The majority of the R-3 District throughout the City of Columbia Heights is populated with single-family dwellings. Amending the Zoning Code to promote the construction of additions and new homes would be directly consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. ZONING ORDINANCE The current Zoning Code pertaining to the R-3 District requires substantial setback requirements compared to other residential zoning districts. The following table outlines the setback requirements for each residential zoning district: City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission March 2, 2010 City of Columbia Heights, R-3 District Case # 2010-0302 R-1 R-2A R-2B R-3 R-4 Front Yard 25 ft. 25 ft. 25 ft. 30 ft. 15 ft. Side Yard 7 ft. 5 ft. 5 ft. 20 ft. 10 ft. Corner Side Yard 12 ft. 10 ft. 10 ft. 30 ft. 15 ft. Rear Yard 20% of ~at De th 20% of Lot De th 20% of Lot De th 30 ft. 15 ft. A study was conducted of the R-3 District to determine whether single and two-family properties would be able to sustain the required setbacks. The study revealed that there are 469 single and two-family parcels in the R-3 District. The following table breaks down the average lot size and number of unbuildable lots currently in the R-3 District: One and Two Famil Residences in the R-3 District Avera e Lot Width 50.99 Avera e Lot De th 129.18 Avera e S uare Foota e 6,587.03 Total Number of One and Two Famil Lots 469 Number of Unbuildable Lots 261 Percenta e of Unbuildable Lots 55.65% Number of Unlikel Buildable Lots 315 Percentage of Unlikely Buildable Lots 67.16% As the table indicates, the average lat width for single and two-family parcels is 51 feet. (n order to build within the specifications of the Zoning Cade, a new house would have to be s~t b~~k 20 fe~~ fr~~ th~ ~i~l~ I~at lines. ~iven the average lot width of 51 feet; this would leave a perspective builder approximately 11 feet on the property ta build a house. The study also indicated that 315 of the 469 {ots, or 67% of the total number of a~re and twa-family parcels in the R-3 District, were too small to build an without the need of a variance to do so. For this reason, Staff is proposing a Zaning Amendment that would alleviate the setback restrictions imposed on these properties. Staff recommends recreating a separate setback category for one and two-family dwelling units within the R-3 District, and imposing setback restrictions consistent with the R-2A District on those parcels. The following table outlines Staff'~ recornmendation: R-1 R-2A R-2B R-3 R-4 Front Yard 25 ft. 25 ft. 25 ft. 1& 2 Family - 25 ft. Multi-Famil - 30 ft. 15 ft. Side Yard 7 ft. 5 ft. 5 ft. 1& 2 Family - 5 ft. Multi-Famil - 20 ft. 10 ft. Corner Side Yard 12 ft. 10 ft. 10 ft. 1& 2 Family - 10 ft. 15 ft. Page 2 City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission March 2, 2010 City of Columbia Heights, R-3 District Case # 2010-0302 Multi-Famil - 30 ft. Rear Yard 20% of Lot Depth 20% of ~ot Depth 20% of Lot Depth 1& 2 Family - 25 ft. Multi-Famil - 30 ft. 15 ft. The purpose of the Zoning Amendment is to create 315 more buildable lots for one and two-family dwelling units within the R-3 District. FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104 (F) of the Columbia Heights zoning code requires that the City Council make each of the following four findings before approving a zoning amendment: The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. One goal of the Comprehensive Plan pertaining to housing is to "Preserve and expancf the sirrgle-famify neighborhoods as the community's stron~rest asset." The majority of the R-3 District throughout the City of Columbia Heights is populated with single-family dwellings. Amending the Zoning Code to promote the construction of addrtions and new homes would be directly consrstent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a single property owner. The proposed zoning amendment is not solely for the benefit of a single property owner. The praposed amendment would allow prospective builders ta canstruct addifions to existing hauses, or ta construct new hauses in the t?-3 district on properties which now wou/d not be legally able to be built on. 3. Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, the existing use of the property and the zoning classificaiion at property within the general area of the praperty in question are compatible with the proposed zaning classification. This zoning amendment will not change any existing zoning classification. 4. Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, there has been a change in the character or trend of development in the general area of the property in question, which has taken place since such property was placed in the current zoning classification. This zoning amendment will not change any existing zoning classification.

Peterson Attest: Patricia Muscovitz, CMC City Glerk/Coiincil Secretary CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PLANNING REPORT CASE NUMBER: 2010-0305 DATE: March 2, 2010 TO: Columbia Heights Planning Commission APPLICANT: City of Columbia Heights LOCATION: City Wide REGlUEST: Zoning Amendment Pertaining to Zoning Applicatian Fees PREPARED BY: Jeff Sargert, City Plar~ner BACKGROUND At the August 25, 2009 EDA meeting and the City Council meeting of November 30, 2009 staff presented its recommendation to revert planning fees back to a flat fee system. Currently, planning fees are dane on an escrow based system that creates a significant amount of work (that is not reimbursed) to receive a check, create an escrow, receive dacumentation fram departments regarding time allocations and then reissuing checks back to the app6icant. Most of the planning applicatians are straightforward and a simple flat fee would reduce all of the aforementianed work. As part of the planning fee structure, staff has included language that the City retains the right ta seek an escraw anq adaitionai payment fiar any out-ot-pocket expenses for cansultants and/or to obtain an escrow for cases that are extraordinary in size or complexity. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Restructuring the fee schedule for Planning and Zoning land use requests enables staff to more efficiently use their time and thus prouides a better service to the community. Processing land use requests more efficiently will also make it easier to pursue many of the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. ZONING ORDINANCE As stated previously, the current zoning ordinance requires an escrow to be collected as the sole means for funding land use requests. Staff spends a considerable amount of time tracking the hours of phone calls, emails, meetings and staff report writings in an effort to City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission March 2, 2010 City of Columbia Heights, Application Fees Case # 2010-0305 accurately account for the amount of time each land use application takes to complete. More time is then taken to process refund checks - if needed - and then mail out the checks to the applicants. The proposed ordinance would revert back to a flat-rate fee for Planning and Zoning applications. The following table depicts the amount of escrow the City had previously required for each land use application, as well as the proposed amount the City will collect as a flat rate fee: PLANNING AND ZONING FEE SCHEDU~E Land Use Action Escrow Previousl Collected Pro osed Flat Rate Fee A eal $185 $185 Com rehensive Plan Amendment $545 $500 Canditional Use Permit $220 $200 Prelimina Plat $670 $500 + Escrow Final Plat $395 $1d0 Interim Use $255 $250 Minor Subdivision Lot S lit $275 $275 Site Plan Review $370 $250 Vacation $150 $150 Variance $235 $200 Zonin Amendment $545 $500 It is anticipated that larger redevelopment projects will take a considerable more time to process than smaller, simpler land use requests. For this reason, the City will retain the right to seek an escrow and additional payment for any out-of-pocket expenses for cor~sultants ar~d/c~r to c-btain ar~ escrc~w f~r c~s~s th~,t ~re extraordinary in size or complexity.

Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, the existing use of the property and the zoning classification of property within the general area of the praperty in question are compatible with the proposed zoning classification. The amendment would not change the zoning classification of a particular property. 4. Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, there has been a change in the character or trend of development in the general area of the property in question, which has taken place since such pr~perty was placed in the current zoning classification.
