WKSIZ0101 . CASE NUMBER: 2014 -0603 DATE: May 21, 2014 TO: Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission APPLICANT: Renaissance Fireworks LOCATION: 4300 Central Avenue REQUEST: Interim Use Permit for Seasonal Sales PREPARED BY: Elizabeth Holmbeck, Associate City Planner INTRODUCTION Renaissance Fireworks, Inc. has applied for an Interim Use Permit to allow the operation of a fireworks tent at 4300 Central Avenue. The specific development standards for an outdoor sales /display establishment are found at Section 9.107 (C)(20), and will be added as conditions of approval for this permit. This will be the Renaissance's 10th year operating a fireworks tent at this location in Columbia Heights. The attached site plan illustrates the configuration and orientation of the fireworks tent to Central Avenue. The Fire Chief has inspected the plans and will conduct a site inspection of the tent prior to the business opening for operation. 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. ZONING ORDINANCE The zoning classification for this property located at 4300 Central Avenue is CBD, Central Business District. Fireworks tents are allowed as Interim Uses in this zoning district. City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission June 3, 2014 Renaissance Fireworks, Inc. - Interim Use Permit Case # 2014 -0603 FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104 (H) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines seven findings of 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. Fireworks tents are an Interim Use in the CBD, Central 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 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. 3. The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties. The proposed temporary use should not have any detrimental impact on neighboring properties because of its proximity to Central Avenue and because it is shielded from adjacent residential uses. 4. The use will not substantially diminish the use of property in the immediate vicinity. The fireworks tent as proposed will have no impact on the use of adjacent properties. 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. The fire department will conduct an on -site survey prior to the business opening. All state requirements regarding fireworks sales will be complied with before the fire department will allow the operation of the business. 6. Adequate measures have been or will be taken to minimize traffic congestion on the public streets and to provide for appropriate on -site circulation of traffic. The traffic generated by the fireworks tent will not significantly increase the traffic on the public streets, and the site is large enough to handle additional interior traffic.

REQUEST: Minor Subdivision PREPARED BY: Elizabeth Holmbeck, Associate City Planner INTRODUCTION At this time, the applicant has requested a minor subdivision per Code Section 9.104 (K), for the property located at 3701 Buchanan Street NE. The applicant wishes to split the existing vacant lot into two single family residential lots. The Minor Subdivision would allow the current unused lot to become financially viable and open for the development of two single family homes. The applicant is also requesting a waiver to the minimum lot width requirement of 60 feet. The proposed lot split would result in two lots with a width of 54 feet. The lot split is proposed on Buchanan rather than 37th Avenue to avoid adding two access points onto 37th Avenue, which is a heavily traveled thoroughfare and a Municipal State Aid street. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan designates this area for low density residential, which is proposed for this site. ZONING ORDINANCE The property is located in the R -2A, one and two family residential zoning district, as are the properties to the west, and east. The property to the north is located in the R -213, built as duplexes zoning district. The properties to the south are located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. DESIGN GUIDELINES The subject property is not located within the Design Guideline Overlay District, and is not governed by the "Central Business District' standards within the Design Guidelines. City of Columbia Heights Planning Commission June 3, 2014 Modern Construction, Minor Subdivision /Lot Split Case # 2014 -0605 FINDINGS OF FACT (Minor Subdivision /Lot Split) Section 9.104 (K) (6) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines eight conditions that must be met in order for the City to grant a minor subdivision. They are as follows: (a) The proposed subdivision of land will not result in more than three lots. The proposed subdivision will result in the creation of two parcels. (b) The proposed subdivision of land does not involve the vacation of existing easements. No existing easements will be vacated as a result of the proposed minor subdivision. (c) All lots to be created by the proposed subdivision conform to lot area and width requirements established for the zoning district in which the property is located. The proposed new lots would conform to the lot area requirement, however would not meet the lot width requirement established for the zoning district. (d) The proposed subdivision does not require the dedication of public rights -of- way for the purpose of gaining access to the property. This is correct. (e) The property has not previously been divided through the minor subdivision provisions of this article. This property has not been previously subdivided through the minor subdivision process. (f) The proposed subdivision does not hinder the conveyance of land. This is correct (g) The proposed subdivision does not hinder the making of assessments or the keeping of records related to assessments. This is correct. (h) The proposed subdivision meets all of the design standards specified in Section 9.115. This is correct.

Passed this 9 °i day of June 2014, Offered by: Seconded by: Roll Call: Attest: Katie Bruno City Clerk /Council Secretary Mayor Gary L. Peterson ' r.. FFJNE3TP1 G- TICIN Oi 1411411,@ -.UTA Written Narrative for Lot Split and Variance Request May, 51" 2014 3701 Buchanan ST NE, Colombia Heights I am writing to request that 3701 Buchannan st no be split into two single family residential lots. I believe this request will be beneficial to the city and the city residences as it will take a vacant piece of land with rubbish on it and allow it to be financially viable to build two new single family homes to increase the tax base of the city, the appearance of the surrounding properties as well as the property values, and to reduce the potential for loitering and /or crime on the vacant land. I have toured the immediate and surrounding areas and the proposed two lots would be characteristic of the existing lot development and layouts found within the city. The access from Buchanan Street provides a safe access point and does not negatively restrict the flow of traffic on the more heavily traveled 37" Avenue. I am requesting a variance to the minimum lot width because I believe the lot width was reduced in the past to make room for the expansion of 37 '11 Ave and the reduction in lot size left an oversized parcel of land that does not lend itself to a single family home nor conform to the requirements for two single family homes without the variance. This lot is an odd size, uncommon to the majority of the lots in the city and this undue hardship is why the lot has remained vacant, it's not typical of a single family lot nor does it conform to a multi- family or multiple lot size; the lots current topography does not provide a suitable building site without incurring a substantial cost in excavation and grading work to conform to proper drainage. In addition the lot appears to be covered with some type of fill material that was placed in the distant past, possibly from the past road work that took place on 37 "' Ave that resulted in not only an odd sized lot but also material that needs to be removed from the property. To the best of my knowledge this lot was treated as a staging ground for materials and trucks to complete a road construction project and the hardship of cleaning up the property and restoring it to a suitable building site has been passed along to the property owner without consent. By approving this variance the lot will be able to be regarded and platted to provide two aesthetically appealing single family lots that conform to all grading and drainage requirements and increase the property values of the surrounding areas as well as eliminate the infill materials, improper drainage, and waste materials that are currently on the property.

( "Subject Property "), adjacent to the existing Auto World facility. The approximately 949 square -foot building requires Site Plan approval as well as a Conditional Use Permit. Because both items require separate actions, this report will specifically address the request for Site Plan approval. According to Anoka County records, the Subject Property was acquired by the current landowner in August of 1999. ZONING ORDINANCE The Subject Property is located in the Central Business (CB) Zoning District. Minor automobile repair, as well as sales and display, are permitted in the CB Zoning District with a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed automotive building is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance, assuming that a Conditional Use Permit is granted. The properties to the north, south and west of the Subject Property are also located in the CB Zoning District. The properties to the east are located in the R2 -B and the R -3 Residential Zoning Districts. I of Columbia Heights Planni Commission Jeff's Bobby and Steve's Auto World - Site Plan Review COMPREHENSIVE PLAN June 3, 2014 The Comprehensive Plan guides this area as Commercial. Constructing a new automotive sales and service building is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. DESIGN GUIDELINES The subject property is located within the Design Guideline Overlay District, and is governed by the "Central Business District" standards within the Design Guidelines. The intent of the Design Guidelines is to make the City more aesthetically appealing, by requiring a set of minimum standards for new construction along Central Avenue and 40th Avenue. The minimum standards were created by a task force of City Officials, business owners and residents, and adopted into the City Code by the City Council. The following standards are specific design requirements for the Central Business District: 1. Building Placement Buildings in the Central Business District are to have well defined front facades with a primary entrance that faces the street. The proposal achieves this requirement by creating a prominent front fagade along Central Ave. Buildings in the Central Business District are also required to be closer to the front property line than at least 75% of the adjacent properties. In this case, the proposed building is approximately 20 feet from the east property line, which is closer than adjacent buildings. 2. Primary Facades and Roof Buildings in the Central Business District should have a well- defined base, middle and top on the front facing fagade. This can be achieved by change in building materials, window size, etc. Although the proposed building is only one floor, the building is broken up by two different colored siding materials, as well as prominent windows and doors which face Central Avenue. Roofs in the Central Business District are to be flat, and articulated with detailed cornices or parapets. The proposed building has a pitched roof; however, the front - facing facade is designed in a way lends the appearance of a flat roof from the east - facing (front) fagade. Staff recommends that the applicant enhance landscaping by adding trees on the north and south side of the building to help breakup the appearance of the roofline. Page 2 of Columbia Hei Planninq Commission Bobby and Steve's Auto World — Site Plan Review 3. Building Width and Fagade Articulation June 3, 2014 If a building in the Central Business District exceeds 40 feet in width, it must be articulated into smaller increments. The proposed building achieves this requirement by interchanging building material types, and by the use of windows and doors. 4. Building Height All buildings in the Central Business District must have a minimum cornice height of 22 feet. The cornice height of the proposed building is 22.333 feet, thereby achieving this requirement. 5. Window and Door Openings In the Central Business District, window and door openings must comprise at least 30 percent of the area of the ground floor of the primary street fagade. Approximately 50 percent of the proposed building's front facing fagade is comprised of windows and doors, thereby achieving this requirement. 6. Building Materials and Colors The building fagade consists of stone - coated steel. While prefabricated steel and sheet metal panels are discouraged in the Central Business District, this building would have the appearance of stucco because of the stone that coats the steel product. Buildings in the Central Business District are encouraged to have facades with neutral or muted colors. In this case, the proposed building would be sided with earth tone - colored materials, thereby achieving this requirement. Signage will be addressed when the applicant applies for a Sign Permit. Signage must be consistent with Design Guidelines and with City Code. SITE PLAN 1. Parking City Code requires 16 parking spaces for this proposed use. The applicant is proposing 27 parking spaces. Page 3 of Columbia Heights Planni Commission Jeff's Bobby and Steve's Auto World - Site Plan Review 2. Access June 3, 2014 Site access will be provided off of Central Avenue to the west and the alleyway to the east. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has granted access off of Central Avenue (State Highway 65). FINDINGS OF FACT Section 9.104 (N) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines four findings of fact that must be met in order for the City to approve a site plan. They are as follows: a. The site plan conforms to all applicable requirements of this article. The site plan is generally consistent with Design Guidelines for the property. Staff suggests that the applicant consider adding landscaping enhancements to the north and south sides of the property to help break up the visual appearance of the side walls of the building. The Zoning Code requirements, including building height, setbacks, and parking requirements, are achieved. b. The site plan is consistent with the applicable provisions of the city's Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan guides this area as Commercial. Constructing a new automotive sales center is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan. c. The site plan is consistent with any applicable area plan. There is no area plan for this portion of the city. d. The site plan minimizes any adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity and the public right -of -way. The proposed building meets all the minimum setback requirements. Therefore, the properties in the immediate vicinity of the proposed development should not be adversely impacted.
