Exhibit B
to
Site Plan Review Application
Reason for Request
Intended Use
Applicant intends to use the Property for the following uses:
(a) K -12 Charter School;
(b) Adult Education facility;
(c) Retail /Commercial uses
Applicant intends to use the Property in part as a K -12 charter school.
Specifically, Applicant has executed a lease with the operator of K -6 charter school that will
operate on the second and third floors of the building. This part of the school will serve
approximately 250 students and will initially operate in approximately 22,500 square feet of
space. Additionally, the Property will be home to a 7 -12 STEM (Science, Technology
Engineering and Math) based curriculum charter school. This school will serve approximately
100 students and will initially use approximately 15,500 square feet of space. Both charter school
leases provide for options for additional space as needs require.
The building is being reconfigured to meet all of the needs and requirements of the
charter schools. As shown on the site plan accompanying this Application, there will be
enclosed outdoor play areas on first level and on second level deck. The outdoor play areas will
comprise 15,869 square feet. Not only will these areas serve as a place for playground and
outdoor activities, but the configuration of these spaces has the added benefit of being contained
in a secure area, reducing the risk of injury to children and generally keeping them safe. Like
many charter schools in urban areas, the schools operating in the building will not offer
extracurricular sports, and this outdoor recreation area is designed to provide ample activity
space based the needs expressed by the schools. The building can also be configured so as to
create a gymnasium -sized multi - purpose space for the entire school. The school will be
completely separate and secured from any other commercial or institutional user in the building.
Complementing this school use is the pending lease with the Columbia Heights Public
School District, which will offer adult education classes on the sixth floor of the building.
The first floor will be leased to retail users, including, hopefully, a coffee shop.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
PLANNING REPORT
CASE NUMBER: 2017 -0603
DATE: June 6, 2017
TO: Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission
APPLICANT: Nancy Aleksuk, 500 LLC
DEVELOPMENT: Proposed Mixed Use Redevelopment
LOCATION: 3989 Central Ave. NE.
REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit for a K -12 School, with requested Waiver
PREPARED BY: Elizabeth Holmbeck, City Planner
INTRODUCTION
At this time, Nancy Aleksuk on behalf of 500, LLC has submitted two land use applications; a
Conditional Use Permit request with a Waiver and a Site Plan Review request. Both applications
relate to a proposed development located at 3989 Central Avenue NE. (the former office
building). The building on the subject property has been mostly vacant for the past 3 years, with
the last tenant leaving one year ago in the spring of 2016. The applicant believes it has found an
anchor tenant, two K -12 Schools, which will allow the applicant to renovate the building and
also lease to the Columbia Heights Adult Education Facility and future retail on the first floor.
The applicant has indicated that a coffee shop is interested in leasing space on the first floor.
This report specifically details the request for a Conditional Use Permit, and a separate second
report will detail the request for Site Plan Review.
The Conditional Use Permit request has been made as the applicant is proposing to operate
two K -12 Schools in the existing building. K -12 Schools require Conditional Use Permits and are
required to meet Specific Development Standards outlined in the Zoning Ordinance. The
proposed K -12 School use does not meet one of the Specific Development Standards in the
Zoning Ordinance, so the applicant is requesting a waiver to this requirement.
ZONING ORDINANCE
The property located at 3989 Central Avenue is located in the Mixed Use Zoning District. The
properties to the north, south and west are located in the Central Business Zoning District. The
properties to the east are located in the R -3, Multiple Family Residential Zoning District.
The intent of the Mixed Use Zoning District is to encourage a flexible, high - quality design
strategy for development and /or redevelopment of specific areas within the community. In
these areas of the City, there must be a mix of uses. The Zoning Ordinance requires that there
City of Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission June 6, 2017
Planning Report Page 2
be at least two of the following uses: Residential, Commercial and Institutional. It further states
that all permitted, conditional, and permitted accessory uses identified in our residential and
commercial districts, which are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, shall be treated as
potentially allowable uses within the Mixed Use Development Districts.
The proposal for a K -12 School is identified in our residential districts, as this is the only area of
the City where K -12 Schools are currently permitted. In our residential districts, K -12 Schools
require a Conditional Use Permit. For the proposal for the Adult Education Facility, while not
specifically defined in our Zoning Ordinance, it is staff's interpretation that this type of use is
identified as a commercial use. The proposal for retail would also be identified as a commercial
use.
By the standards outlined above, it appears that the proposal would meet the Mixed Use
District standards by ensuring that there are two of the three required uses. This means that
the proposed K -12 School would satisfy the required residential use, and the Adult Education
Facility, and future retail would satisfy the commercial use requirement.
Staff recommends that a condition be added to the permit that limits the amount of area in the
building that the schools can occupy. This is similar to how we have handled other K -12 School
Conditional Use Permits in the past. Staff is making this recommendation, to ensure that the
building remains a Mixed Use Building as to not compromise the intended commercial
character of the area. Staff recommends that approximately half of the building be reserved for
commercial use and the first floor be retained for commercial use to ensure compatibility with
the character of the surrounding area.
The applicant has requested a waiver to a Specific Development Standard of the Zoning
Ordinance. This standard requires that the parcel upon which the K -12 School is located shall
have a lot area no less than four times the size of the building footprint. The parcel upon which
the proposed use is located has historically been used for office and retail uses with parking
provided in the adjacent parking ramp and parking lot.
This particular building is unique compared to the rest of the commercial parcels throughout
the City, as it is six stories tall and there is a small amount of open parcel area that is not
covered by a building. Also, when it was originally built, it was not intended to be a K -12 School,
and as such, the parcel does not meet this requirement. It is assumed this requirement is
meant to provide area for outdoor recreation and parking associated with a K -12 School.
In the attached narrative detailing the applicants requested waiver to this standard, the
applicant argues that this requirement is based on an older and no longer universally applicable
model of school operations. The applicant states that the proposed K -12 school will be
constructing a safe, contained playground area on the first and second level of the current deck
on the north side of the building. The applicant argues that the school has determined this area
will be more than adequate to meet the needs of the students.
City of Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission June 6, 2017
Planning Report Page 3
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for commercial uses. This property was recently
rezoned from Central Business to Mixed -Use. Due to the ongoing Comprehensive Plan revision,
currently underway, the City Attorney has advised to amend the map when the update is
complete. As such, the property is not designated for Mixed Use in the Comprehensive Plan,
rather Commercial Use.
While the K -12 School use is not a Commercial Use, the building will still contain commercial
users. Additionally, staff is recommending that the Conditional Use Permit require a portion of
the building be reserved for Commercial or Institutional Uses. Specifically, staff recommends
that approximately half of the building be reserved for Commercial or Institutional Uses,
including the first floor.
FINDINGS OF FACT
(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 Zoning Ordinance requires that Mixed Use Developments contain at least two of the
following uses: Residential, Commercial and Institutional. It further states that all
permitted, conditional, and permitted accessory uses identified in our Residential and
Commercial Districts, which are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan shall be treated
as potentially allowable uses within the Mixed Use Development Districts, K -12 Schools
are specifically listed as a Conditional Use in the City's Residential Zoning Districts. By
this standard, a K -12 School would be considered a potentially allowable use.
(b) The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive
Plan.
The property is guided for commercial use. As stated above, staff recommends that a
portion of the building should be reserved to ensure a commercial component of the
mixed use development property remains.
(c) The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties.
The applicant will have to adhere to Specific Development Standards as it relates to K -12
Schools. The City has Specific Development Standards which are meant for unique
characteristics of certain land uses. The standards are meant to protect the neighboring
properties from any hazardous or disturbing influences. The applicant has requested a
waiver to one of the Specific Development Standards. The City Council has the authority
to waive this requirement if they choose to do so. The applicant argues that there is
sufficient space available on the outdoor patio area, to allow for a play area to be
constructed and utilized by the proposed schools.
City of Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission June 6, 2017
Planning Report Page 4
(d) The use will not substantially diminish the use of property in the immediate vicinity.
Staff does not anticipate that the K -12 School operation will substantially diminish
the use of the property in the surrounding area.
(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 use will be subject to the Specific Development Standards as outlined in the Zoning
Code for K -12 Schools. These specific requirements are added as conditions to the
proposed Conditional Use Permit, and meant to protect the intended character of the
surrounding area. Staff has recommended that the City limit the amount of space that
the proposed schools can utilize in the building, to preserve the intended commercial
character of the area.
(f) The use and property upon which the use is located are adequately served by
essential public facilities and services.
This is correct. The property is served by two local streets, 40th Avenue and Central
Avenue.
(g) 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 on -site circulation of traffic has been detailed in a traffic management plan, which
was submitted with the applicant's Site Plan Review application. This plan has been
reviewed by staff and MNDOT. Anoka County review is currently pending. At this time
staff believes that the operation of the K -12 School will have minimal impact to the
surrounding local City streets. The City Engineer and MNDOT have reviewed the traffic
management plan. At this time, they have found it to be minimally acceptable as it is
unclear how pedestrian traffic will operate on the site. Staff has added a condition that if
the school's drop off and pick up routing results in delay on the surrounding local streets
or has a negative traffic impact, a new traffic management plan will be required to be
submitted for review to address operational deficiencies.
(h) The use will not cause a negative cumulative effect, when considered in conjunction
with the cumulative effect of other uses is the immediate vicinity.
Staff has added proposed conditions to the permit for the City Council to consider in
an effort to minimize potential negative effects.
(i) The use complies with all other applicable regulations for the district in which it is
located.
City of Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission June 6, 2017
Planning Report Page 5
If the applicant complies with the Specific Development Standards, the use would comply
with the City's applicable regulations. However, in this case, the application does not
meet one of the Specific Development Standards of the City's Zoning Ordinance. The City
Council can grant a waiver to this standard. If the waiver is granted it appears that the
use complies with all other applicable regulations for the district in which it is located.
CONCLUSION
While staff believes there is merit to the applicant's proposal, the application does not meet a
Specific Development Standard outlined in the City's Zoning Ordinance. These standards are in
place to mitigate any potential negative impact on surrounding property, and to provide
supplemental regulations to address unique characteristics of land use. The City Council has the
authority to waive this standard, as requested by the applicant.
Staff believes that while the applicant does not meet this requirement, they have proposed a
unique, alternative plan for an outdoor recreation area and adequate parking should be
provided in the adjacent parking ramp. By staff's literal interpretation of the City's Zoning
Ordinance, the application does not meet applicable regulations, and therefore staff would
request that if the City Council approves the Conditional Use Permit with the requested Waiver,
that the City Council directs staff to remove this requirement.
RECOMENDATION

3989 Central Avenue NE. subject to certain conditions.
Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2017 -53, there being ample copies

Exhibit B
to
Conditional Use Permit Application of 500 LLC
Reasons Supporting Request
Current Zoning Status
On December 12, 2016, The Columbia Heights City Council rezoned this Property from
Commercial to Mixed Use Development ( "MDX "). The express reason for this change
presented to the City Council was Applicant's intention to use a portion of the Property for a K-
12 charter school.
Intended Use
Applicant intends to use the Property in part as a K -12 charter school. Specifically,
Applicant has executed a lease with the operator of K -6 charter school that will operate on the
second and third floors of the building. This part of the school will serve approximately 250
students and will initially operate in approximately 22,500 square feet of space. Additionally, the
Property will be home to a 7 -12 STEM (Science, Technology Engineering and Math) based
curriculum charter school. This school will serve approximately 100 students and will initially
use approximately 15,500 square feet of space. Both charter school leases provide for options for
additional space as needs require.
The building is being reconfigured to meet all of the needs and requirements of the
charter schools and to comply with all City and State building codes and standards applicable to
school use. As shown on the site plan accompanying this Application, there will be enclosed
outdoor play areas on first level and on second level deck. The outdoor play areas will comprise
15,869 square feet. Not only will these areas serve as a place for playground and outdoor
activities, but configuration of these spaces has the added benefit of being contained in a secure
area, reducing the risk of injury to children and generally keeping them safe. Like many charter
schools in urban areas, the schools operating in the building will not offer extracurricular sports,
and this outdoor recreation area is designed to provide ample activity space based the needs
expressed by the schools. The building can also be configured so as to create a gymnasium -sized
multi - purpose space for the entire school. The school will be completely separate and secured
from any other commercial or institutional user in the building.
Complementing this school use is the pending lease with the Columbia Heights Public
School District, which will offer adult education classes on the sixth floor of the building
School Use is a Permitted Conditional Use
Pursuant to Columbia Heights City Code Sections 9.112 (D)(1) and (2), all permitted
conditional uses identified in § 9.109, Residential Districts, and § 9.110, Commercial Districts,
which are consistent with the comprehensive plan shall be treated as potentially allowable uses
within the Mixed Use Development District.
Sections 9.109 (E) (3), (F) (3), (G) (3) and (H) (3) each specifically provide that "School,
public or private, K -12" is a permitted conditional use in Residential Districts. Section 9.110 (D)
(3) (c) specifically provides that "School, public or private, K -12" is a permitted conditional use
in the Commercial District covered by that section and Section 9.110 (E)(2) provides that
schools are a permitted use in the Commercial— General Business District.
Thus, the City Code allows the school use as a either a permitted use or a conditional use
in the MXD District.
The Proposed Use Satisfies the Conditions for a Conditional Use Permit
The proposed use satisfies all of the requirements set forth in Section 9.104(H) pertaining
to conditional use permits. Referring to the specific requirements of Section 9.104(H):
(a) As noted above, the proposed use is one of the conditional uses listed for the zoning
district in which the property is located, satisfying Section 9.104(H) (6) (a);
(b) The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan
as required by Section 9.104(H) (6) (b) of the Code. The addition of the conditional use of the
school will enhance and create synergy with the retail marketing of the property and planned
adult education use by the Columbia Heights Public School District...
(c) The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties.
Not only does this use adhere to the requirement of Section 9.104(H) (c) of the Code, but the use
will enhance the neighborhood and support the businesses surrounding the Property.
(d) The use will not substantially diminish the use of property in the immediate vicinity
as set forth in 9.104(H) (d) of the Code. The Property has been substantially vacant for many
years and the loss of business activity at the Property has seriously diminished the use of
property in the general vicinity of the Property. Permitting the building to be used as a school
will foster the use of the property in the vicinity of the building.
(e) Section 9.104(H) (e ) of the Code requires that the conditional 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. Except for minor changes to the exterior
stairwell areas and enhanced landscaping, the operation of the conditional use will not change
the appearance of the exiting or intended character of the surrounding area.
(f) The use and property upon which the use is located are adequately served by essential
public facilities and services, satisfying the requirement of Section 9.104(H) (f). There is
excellent access to the property via major roadways and public transportation. The property is
served by a parking ramp containing 344 parking spaces and 17 surface area parking spaces.
(g) 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 Applicant has
submitted to the City as part of its Site Review Application the traffic management report and
plan prepared by Spack Consulting. This report confirms the use will not have a materially
adverse impact on traffic and that a well designed traffic management plan is in place for the
school use. Accordingly, the 9.104(H) (g) requirements are met.
(h) The use will not cause a negative cumulative effect, when considered in conjunction
with the cumulative effect of other uses in the immediate vicinity. In point of fact, given the
vitality created by the school use, the cumulative effects upon the immediate vicinity will be
quite positive and will enhance this part of the Columbia Heights community. Thus, the
requirements of Section 9.104(H) (h) are clearly met.
(i) The use complies with all other applicable regulations for the district in which it is
located, thereby meeting the requirements of Section 9.104(H) (h).
Conclusion
The requested conditional use is permitted under the Property's current MXD zoning.
The Property was rezoned for the express purpose of allowing the Property to be used in part as a
K -12 charter school. All of the conditions of Section 9.104 (H) of the City Code are satisfied and
the Applicant respectfully requests approval of this Application.
Specific Design Development Standard; One Waiver Requested
Section 9.105 (C) (46) provides for certain Special Development Standards applicable to
developments containing K -12 schools. Except for one Standard, the Property currently satisfies
or will satisfy all of the Development Standards. Specifically:
(a) The use shall include a regular course of study accredited by the State of Minnesota
[Section 9.105 (C) (46) (a)]. The charter schools leasing space within the Property will be
accredited by the State of Minnesota. Such accreditation includes the school facility operating in
a facility that is on property properly zoned for the use. [Section 9.105 (C) (46) (b)].
(b) The site shall be served by a major collector or higher classification of roadway
[Section 9.105 (C) (46) (b)]. The site is served by a major collector or higher classification of
roadway and, therefore, this Standard is satisfied.
(c) The parcel upon which the use is located shall have a lot area no less than four times
the area of the building footprint. [Section 9.105 (C) (46) (c)].
Applicant requests a waiver with respect to this Development Standard. The Standard is
based on an older and no longer universally applicable model of school operations that assumed
large lots and large playground areas were a requirement for a successful school operation. In
point of fact, the charter schools interested in leasing the Property do not seek large tracts of land
for open playground areas. Such facilities in urban areas are cost prohibitive for charter schools
and don't match the school's programming needs because many such schools, including the
schools in this space, do not offer extracurricular sports. Instead, schools request somewhat
smaller, self - contained but better designed play areas that provide not only the desired play
environment for children, but also ensure a secure and safe environment for activities in an urban
setting.
As the site plans accompanying this Application show, Applicant's school operator
intends to construct a safe, secure and contained playground area on the first level and on second
floor deck of the building. The schools have determined this area is more than adequate to meet
the needs of the students. Therefore, creating 15,869 square feet of recreational area satisfies the
underlying rational and purpose of the Standard and granting the waiver has no adverse
consequence to the Property or to the community.
Without the requested waiver, the charter schools under lease will not be able to operate.
This Standard imposes a unique financial hardship to the property and to Applicant and
Standard's purposes are satisfied by the newly designed recreation areas.
(d) A transportation management plan shall be submitted to address off -street parking, bus
loading and unloading, traffic control, and the impact of the facility on surrounding roadways
[Section 9.105 (C) (46) (d)]. This Standard is satisfied. Accompanying this Application is a
traffic management plan prepared for the Property by Spack Consulting. The plan provides a
detailed analysis of the traffic management issues related to the school and affirms that
Applicant's traffic plan properly addresses the applicable traffic management issues affecting the
school operation on the Property.
(e) To the extent practical, all new construction or additions to existing buildings shall be
complementary and compatible with the scale and character of the surroundings and exterior
materials shall be compatible with those used in the immediate neighborhood [Section 9.105 (C)
(46) (e)]. The plans accompanying this application show only minor exterior changes and all are
compatible with the immediate neighborhood.
(f) An appropriate transition area between the use and adjacent property shall be provided
by landscaping, screening or other site improvements consistent with the character of the
neighborhood. [Section 9.105 (C) (46) (f)]. The plans accompanying this Application satisfy this
Standard.
School, K -12.
(a) The use shall include a regular course of study accredited by the State of Minnesota.
(b) The site shall be served by a major collector or higher classification of roadway.
(c) The parcel upon which the use is located shall have a lot area no less than four times
the area of the building footprint
(d) A transportation management plan shall be submitted to address off - street parking,
bus loading and unloading, traffic control, and the impact of the facility on surrounding
roadways.
(e) To the extent practical, all new construction or additions to existing buildings shall be
complementary and compatible with the scale and character of the surroundings and exterior
materials shall be compatible with those used in the immediate neighborhood.
(f) An appropriate transition area between the use and adjacent property shall be
provided by landscaping, screening or other site improvements consistent with the character of

Dear Elizabeth:
Comments regarding review of submitted drawing for 3989 Central Avenue.
The use of the building as a K -12 school is permitted under the building code. Rooms used by
preschool, kindergarten, and first and second grade students for classrooms, latchkey, day care,
early childhood family education, teen parent, or other programs conducted in the building may
be located on any floor below the fourth story if the following conditions exist:
1. The building is protected throughout with and approved automatic fire sprinkler system;
and
2. The building is protected throughout with and approved automatic fire alarm system
having automatic smoke detection devices installed throughout the exit system within
every room or area used for purposes other than a classroom or office.
I expect the contractor to submit complete drawings along with a building permit application
for a plan review for construction. The plans must include building construction drawings,
details, mechanical systems, plumbing systems, fire protection sprinkler system, fire alarms
system, and electrical plans. These plans will be reviewed for code compliance in accordance
with the 2015 Minnesota Building Code.
Plumbing plans need to be submitted to the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry.
Plumbing Plan Review Unit by the Master Plumber of record for their review and approval prior
to issuance of the plumbing permit by the City of Columbia Heights.
Plans are also to be submitted to the Metropolitan Council for a SAC determination. The
determination of SAC units will need to be received by the City of Columbia Heights prior to
issuance of any permits. The SAC determination is based on how the space is used and not on
occupancy classification.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
PLANNING REPORT
CASE NUMBER: 2017 -0603
DATE:
June 6, 2017
TO:
Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission
APPLICANT:
Nancy Aleksuk, 500 LLC
DEVELOPMENT:
Proposed Mixed Use Redevelopment
LOCATION:
3989 Central Ave. NE.
REQUEST:
Site Plan Review
PREPARED BY:
Elizabeth Holmbeck, City Planner
INTRODUCTION
At this time, Nancy Aleksuk on behalf of 500, LLC has submitted two land use applications; a
Conditional Use Permit request with a Waiver and a Site Plan Review request. Both applications
relate to a proposed development located at 3989 Central Avenue NE. (the former office
building). The building on the subject property has been mostly vacant for the past three years,
with the last tenant leaving one year ago in the spring of 2016. The applicant believes it has
found an anchor tenant, two charter schools which will allow the applicant to renovate the
building and also lease to the Columbia Heights Adult Education Facility and possible future
retail on the first floor. The applicant has indicated that a coffee shop is interested in leasing
space on the first floor. This report specifically addresses the request for Site Plan Review.
The applicant has requested Site Plan Review to allow for proposed modifications to the
exterior of the former office building. This Site Plan Review involves minor modifications to the
exterior of the building. A building permit will be submitted for the interior renovations, which
is approved administratively. The applicant is proposing a mixed use development which will
include two K -12 Schools, the Columbia Heights Adult Education Facility, and future retail uses.
The Planning and Zoning Commission is required to review all commercial site plans. This plan
involves a proposed renovation of the existing outdoor upper and lower patio on the north side
of the building, and a new ground level patio on the west side of the building.
ZONING ORDINANCE
The property located at 3989 Central Avenue is located in the Mixed Use Zoning District. The
properties to the north, south and west are located in the Central Business Zoning District. The
properties to the east are located in the R -3, Multiple Family Residential Zoning District. The
proposed uses as presented are all considered to be potentially allowable uses in the Mixed Use
Zoning District.
City of Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission June 6, 2017
Planning Report Page 2
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for commercial uses. This property was recently
rezoned from Central Business to Mixed -Use. Due to the ongoing Comprehensive Plan revision,
currently underway, the City Attorney has advised to amend the map when the update is
complete. As such, the property is not designated for mixed use in the Comprehensive Plan,
rather commercial uses.
While the K -12 School use is not a commercial use, the building will still contain commercial
users. Additionally, staff is recommending that the Conditional Use Permit require that a
portion of the building be reserved for commercial or institutional uses. Specifically, staff
recommends that half of the building be reserved for commercial or institutional uses, including
the first floor.
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. For this proposal the
majority of the Design Guidelines do not apply, as the proposed modifications do not affect the
standards that are outlined in the Design Guidelines. The Design Guidelines apply to items such
as building placement, facades and roof design, building width and facade articulation, building
height, and window design. At this time, the applicant is not proposing changes to these items.
SITE PLAN
1. Parking
The proposed plan identifies parking for the proposed uses to be provided in the adjacent
parking ramp. The parking ramp has 344 parking stalls which meets the required parking for the
proposed types of uses on the property.
2. Access
The site will be served by two access points off 40th Avenue and Gould Avenue. MNDOT has
received the proposed plans and has no comment on the plans at this time. Anoka County is
still reviewing the plans.
3. Landscape
The proposed landscaping materials are shown on the attached Landscape Plan. It appears the
applicant's proposal will complement the layout of the development. There will be a variety of
landscaping planted around the perimeter of the site, which meets the City's Landscaping
requirements and should provide adequate screening. Staff recommends that the landscaping
as indicated in the plan submittal, be installed within 4 months after the building is operational,
or from such time a Certificate of Occupancy is issued. This recommendation has been added a!
a condition of approval to the Site Plan.
4. Lot Dimension, Height and Setback Requirements
City of Columbia Heights Planning and Zoning Commission June 6, 2017
Planning Report Page 3
The proposed plan does not have specific requirements called out in the ordinance, as the
property is zoned Mixed Use. In order to remain flexible for development proposals, properties
with this zoning designation do not have specific setback or dimensional requirements. Staff
believes the proposal does show reasonable setback information; in particular the proposed
new patio is setback 10 feet from the western property line, which appears to be adequate.
S. Other
The current sign on the property is in need of replacement, and does not comply with the City's
sign code standards. Staff recommends that the existing sign be removed and replaced with
code compliant signage and the new signage must be consistent with Design Guidelines and
with City Code. Staff recommends that the new signage be installed within 4 months of the
building being operational. This recommendation has been added as a condition of approval to
the Site Plan.
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 applicable Zoning Code requirements are achieved.
b. The Site Plan is consistent with the applicable provisions of the City's Comprehensive
Plan.
Staff believes the proposed Site Plan for the property 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 parcel.
d. The Site Plan minimizes any adverse impacts on property in the immediate vicinity and
the public right -of -way.
The proposed Site Plan appears to meet the applicable standards outlined in the Zoning
Ordinance. Therefore, the properties in the immediate vicinity of the proposed development
should not be adversely impacted.

emCONSULTING Spack Consulting 2 Columbia Heights Charter School
ENGINEERING TRAFFIC FORWARD Transportation Management Plan
To: Nancy Aleksuk, 500 LLC
Chris Whitehouse, DJR Architecture
From: Mike Spack, PE, PTOE
Date: April 25, 2017
Re: Columbia Heights Charter School Transportation Management Plan
DJR Architecture, on behalf of 500 LLC, has contracted with Spack Consulting to complete a Transportation
Management Plan for a proposed K -12 Charter School on the southeast quadrant of Central Avenue NE and
40th Avenue in Columbia Heights, Minnesota. Per Columbia Heights City Code, the purpose of this
Transportation Management Plan addresses:
• Off street parking
• Student loading and unloading, including buses
• Traffic control
• The impact of the facility on the surrounding roadways
Conclusions
Based on the analyses in this Transportation Management Plan, traffic generated by the proposed Charter
School will be adequately accommodated if the following measures are implemented:
• Enlarge the curb radius on the southwest quadrant of the 40th Avenue /Private Drive Aisle
intersection to accommodate school buses.
• Locate faculty to direct school related traffic at the drive aisle and parking ramp driveways before
and after school.
• Locate faculty to assist the loading /unloading of students along the bus drive aisle and parking ramp
skyway before and after school.
• Provide detailed instructions for the parent pick -up /drop -off procedure on the school website, and
if possible, in a separate communication at the beginning of each school year.
Background
The vacant bank /office building and the attached parking ramp on
the southeast quadrant of Central Avenue NE and 40th Avenue is
proposed to be redeveloped, as shown in Figure 1. The building
has approximately 56,000 square feet of leasable space and the
attached parking ramp has 344 parking stalls. The building and
ramp are separated by a private 18 -foot drive aisle and the
building/ramp are connected by a second -floor skyway.
The proposed schedule, projected number of students and
expected faculty for the Charter School are:
• Kindergarten — 6th Grade: 7:55 a.m. to 2:20 p.m. 250
students (210 use school buses, 40 are picked -up /dropped

off with two students per vehicle expected). 20 faculty members.
• 7th — 12th Grades: 8:20 a.m. to 3:05 p.m. 100 students (90 use public Metro Transit buses, 10 are
picked -up /dropped off with two students per vehicle expected). 12 faculty members.
Forecast Traffic and Parking Generation
Trip and parking generation forecasts were calculated for the proposed Charter School based on the uses
detailed above. The calculated values are:
• 98 vehicles in and 98 vehicles out per weekday
• 49 vehicles in and 33 vehicles out per weekday a.m. peak hour
• 0 vehicles in and 16 vehicles out per weekday p.m. peak hour
• Peak parking of 32 parked vehicles expected to occur on a typical weekday morning accommodated
in the 344 - parking stall ramp
Note, there are two separate afternoon school peaks which coincide with the dismissal of the K -6 and 7 -12
classes, but not only are there two separate peaks butthese peaks occur during times when there are lower
volumes on the adjacent streets; and therefore, have less impact and are not considered when evaluating
the impacts of the proposed development.
Student Loading /Unloading
The drive aisle between the building and parking ramp will serve as the bus loading /unloading zone. Buses
will travel southbound from 4011 Avenue to Gould Avenue. A sidewalk will be built on the western side of
the drive aisle to provide direct access for the students to get on and off the buses while being in a protected
pedestrian zone. The school anticipates having up to three full sized school buses and five passenger -
van /mini - school buses to accommodate the 250 K -6th grade students. Figure 2 (attached) shows all eight of
these vehicles can be accommodated in the drive aisle without queuing on 40' Avenue, although it is
unlikely all of them would be in the drive aisle at the same time.
It is anticipated approximately 20 parent vehicles will drop off K -6th grade children in the morning and pick
them up in the afternoon with another 5 private vehicles doing the same for the 7 -12th grade students. The
drop - off /pick -up zone will be on the second floor of the parking ramp adjacent to the skyway. It is
recommended parents enter the ramp from Gould Avenue, take an immediate right within the ramp, and
drive through the ramp ending up with the passenger side door adjacent to the skyway. This will allow for
storing a queue of up to 450 feet within the ramp, which is approximately 18 vehicles. The 25 arriving and
departing vehicles will not all arrive at the same time, so the queue is not expected to back out onto Gould
Avenue. It is recommended parents be guided to exit the ramp onto 40th Avenue so they can use the traffic
signal at Central Avenue to go north or south from the site. This operation should be detailed on the school
website, and if possible, in a separate school communication.
Traffic Control
The Charter School is planning to have faculty on Gould Avenue and 40th Avenue to guide buses and parents
at the drive aisle and parking ramp driveways. Faculty will also be placed to guide students in and out of
buses and parent vehicles to facilitate the loading /unloading process.
Impacts to Surrounding Roads
Traffic from the Charter School is expected to largely be oriented to and from Central Avenue. There are
turn lanes on Central Avenue at both 40th Avenue and Gould Avenue. The Central Avenue /40th Avenue
intersection adjacent to the school is also controlled with a traffic signal, and dedicated turn lanes are

provided on 40`h Avenue. These turn lanes and the traffic signal are anticipated to provide safe
ingress /egress to the school site.
A site visit was conducted during the a. m. peak hour to see if there were significant queuing issues adjacent
to the site. Although a full capacity analysis was not done of the adjacent intersections, queuing was
observed to be minimal along 40`^ Avenue and Gould Avenue without backups to the drive aisle or parking
ramp driveways. The addition of the school's traffic is not expected to trigger the need for the addition of
turn lanes or the escalation of traffic control.
It is recommended the radius on the southwest corner of the site drive aisle and 40`^ Avenue be enlarged
with an enhanced pavement section to accommodate buses entering the loading zone from the curbside
lane. The turning template needed to accommodate a right turning bus is shown in Figure 3.
