BUSINESS ITEMS
3. Façade Improvement Grant Report for Various Recipients 2022
Forney reported that for the fourth year in a row the Façade Improvement Grant program is being
offered on a first come first serve basis. Now that spring is upon us, Community Development Staff
have started to receive the first round of applications. Advertisement for the program has been spread
on social media, by email, and by word of mouth from commissioners and Staff alike. Below are three
grant applicants for review.
Nordeast Electric Inc. is located at 4219 Central Ave NE. Nordeast Electric occupies a small brick
building with white trimmed windows on three sides of the building, all of them visible from Central
Ave. Nordeast Electric’s project includes the replacement of four windows, two on the front and one
on each side. The window frames had become cracked and rotten not sealing the building from the
3
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 02, 2022
Economic Development Authority Page 3
elements. The overall project cost is $6,040.10 warranting a Façade Improvement Grant
reimbursement of $3,020.05.
Nordeast Electric submitted their initial application in June 2021 b ut had only been able to obtain one
bid at the time. As they worked to find the second bid, they began and finished the work proposed in
their application. As the EDA has spoken of before, the current market makes it very difficult for
businesses to find a contractor willing to bid on very small commercial projects. Nordeast Electric was
able to find a second bid but had completed the work prior to the receipt of the EDA’s approval. Staff
are bringing this application forward due to the fact, that the project has meet the intent of the
program but ran into issues with finding contractors to bid on their project. Staff recommend the EDA
approve Nordeast Electric under the exception that there has been a proven hardship.
Schiele Auto repair LLC is located at 4457 University Ave and does business as Lowell’s Auto Repair. As
seen in the attached photo’s, 4457 University currently has baby blue siding that is beginning to chip
away. Schiele’s Auto is requesting the Façade Improvement Grant to install grey metal siding on the
areas above and around the brick Façade. The replacement of the siding is just one piece of the
businesses intended improvements. Schiele’s Auto also intends to install new windows on the second
story, paint the remainder of the building, install a new awning, and install new lot lights.
Schiele’s Auto is requesting the full $5,000 grant amount to assist with their project. The bids
submitted with the application estimate the total cost of siding to be $16 ,923.21. The new siding would
cover the front of the building above the brick façade, along with both sides of the building, and the
rear of the building. Both sides are visible to University Ave but the cost of installing siding on the rear
of the building is not covered by the program. Removing the back from the estimate does not affect
the full funding designation. The replacement of the siding is an immediate upgrade to the building, as
the current painted siding is chipping away.
Fridley Heights Cyclery is located at 4755 University Avenue NE, on the corner of the University Avenue
service road and 48th Ave NE. The Cyclery is looking to add a 5’x2’ aluminum sign to the northern side
of the building. Being located on the southern corner, the northern side of the building is the first thing
motorists see as they travel south on University Avenue. The sign meets all design guidelines and sign
code requirements. Currently, the northern side of the building consists of a tan stucco wall with a
large white metal parapet. The aluminum sign would be placed on the metal parapet and has a black
outline to distinguish it from the building.
There are two bids for the sign itself with the lower more comprehensive bid coming in at $121.14. The
cost for installation also has two bids with the lowest coming in at $590.00. The total cost of this
project comes out to $712.14. Making the total Façade Improvement Grant reimbursement $356.07.
While this is a very small improvement in consideration to other projects. The addition of a sign to the
large white parapet will break up the excessiveness of this feature. This sign also improves the visibility
of the business as it is on the side of the building most seen from drivers traveling south.

Forney added that part of the grant program is the installation of cameras, they will be speaking with
the Police Department on deciding where the cameras can go, and then working with the interested
businesses, past and present, to create one camera agreement.
Questions/Comments from Members:
Jacobs asked about Lowell’s Auto Repair and if they are going to replace all their siding. Forney replied
that he believed so.

4. Creation of the Fire Suppression Grant Pilot Program
Forney reported that at the May 3, 2021, EDA Meeting, Community Development Staff brought forth
for discussion the possibility of a Fire Suppression Grant Program. At that meeting, Staff discussed how
the Minnesota Administrative Rules (Building Code) requires any change in use, expansion, remodel, or
new construction of a commercial development to meet current fire suppression code requirements.
On several occasions, Staff has interacted with constituents that are looking to bring new businesses
into the City, but their projects have difficulties coming to fruition due to the high cost of installing fire
suppression systems.
He added that recently the City relaxed it’s liquor licensing, which requires a fire suppression system in
order to have a license, and Miller’s has been unable to get a liquor license because of this current
requirement.
Therefore, Staff has proposed the Fire Suppression Grant Pilot Program. This is a program seeking to
assist businesses and property owners in partially alleviating the costs of installing fire suppression
systems. After receiving positive feedback from the EDA, Staff has moved forward and established the
principal documents for the Fire Suppression Grant Pilot Program.
In summary, the Fire Suppression Grant Pilot Program is a reimbursement program like the EDA’s
Façade Improvement Grant Program. The Fire Suppression Grant Pilot Program reimburses qualifying
applicants up to 50% of the project costs with a maximum of $15,000 per grant. The geographic
boundaries for program eligibility are the same as the current Façade Improvement Grant Program and
are limited to commercial or mixed-use buildings. Improvements that are eligible include the following:
design and engineering costs, construction and installation of a fire line from the main water line to the
building, fire sprinkler system equipment/installation, and associated fire alarm systems/installation.
Staff recommends establishing the Pilot Program by using existing funds from the EDA’s
Redevelopment Fund 408. This fund currently serves as the revenue source for the Commercial
Revitalization activities of the EDA, which includes the Façade Improvement G rant Program and the
scattered site acquisition of single-family homes that are zoned commercially. Fund 408 has historically
been replenished with approximately $250,000 each year by the City’s special HRA levy. However, in
2022, the City increased the levy amount to $310,000 to provide additional funding for the various
9
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 02, 2022
Economic Development Authority Page 9
programs that are supported by Fund 408. To fund the Pilot Program, Staff recommends setting aside
$45,000 to get through the rest of 2022 and all of 2023. This number represents the unuse d portion of
the Façade Improvement Grant funds from the 2020 budget. In subsequent years, Staff and the EDA
can determine funding levels based upon the success of the program.
He added that this is a pilot program which will be evaluated after year one and brought back to the
EDA for future approval.
Questions/Comments from Members:
Murzyn Jr. asked if it is mandated for them to have a sprinkler system monitoring system , which can
help stop water damage. Forney said it wasn’t in the current guidelines, but it is something they can
consider.
Jacobs asked if Murzyn Jr. if he is suggesting this should be part of the pilot program. Murzyn Jr. said it
is a suggestion for them to consider. Forney said they can use the pilot program to see what people are
installing and if they are also doing the monitoring system and put into the actual program if it
continues. Chirpich added that they could discuss this with the Fire Chief and the Building Official to
see what City Code requires, as it may require it already.
Márquez-Simula asked if they have heard from Miller’s. Forney stated he couldn’t get ahold of Miller’s.
He added that attaching a water line can cost $40,000 or more, and the sprinkler permit fees are
between $5,000-$15,000.
Márquez-Simula stated that for a place like Miller’s it still would not cover half of the cost. She added
that she believes this is a great way to help older and new businesses going into older businesses and
be safe and welcomed.

OTHER BUSINESS
Chirpich reported that they are still in contract negotiations for the redevelopment of the Public Safety
site with Reuter Walton. There will be a special EDA meeting in May 2022 because the project needs to
stay on track with closing, which is anticipated to be at the end of June 2022. He added that there are
several moving parts including closing on the bond funding, issuing a loan for the project from the
grant that was recently received from the Metropolitan Council, and the finalization of the TIF-related
agreement. Chirpich stated there are several financial components they are sorting out, and then there
is also the closing which is complicated by the easement agreements that they are still working on.
Chirpich stated that SACA is still working on their funding, which has caused a little bit of a pause, but
they are working on that contract as well.
11
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 02, 2022
Economic Development Authority Page 11
He stated that the Special EDA meeting may be held next Monday, May 9, 2022.
Szurek asked if the Council has already seen drawings of the building, the size of the apartments and
the total apartment units. Chirpich stated there are 62 apartment units, with a mix of 1 -3 bedroom
units. He added that it’s predominantly 2 -3 bedrooms because it’s centered on families.
Novitsky said the Council has seen the plans and they were modified to address the concerns of
residents. He stated that the concerns included the traffic coming off of Jackson Street, so the parking
was rotated to come off of 42nd Avenue instead of Jackson Street.
Buesgens stated That the business Aisa Chow main would be a good target for the façade
improvement grant program but they are not in the territory that they sketched out, it only goes to
47th Avenue. She asked if the small businesses to the north would be considered. Chirpich said it would
meet the intent because it’s an older building, and the offer could be extended to Asia Chow Mein with
special authorization.
Novitsky asked about what if other businesses hear that the one business was included but they were
not and if Central Avenue for the City boundaries could be included, with the same rules. Chirpich
stated he agreed, and they could analyze it more. Forney added that they could follow what other
cities have and specify based on age or create parameters.
Márquez-Simula asked about Sarah’s Tobacco and if they are in the territory, as their sign needs an
update. Forney stated they are eligible, and he has talked to the owner before, but they have not
received an application.
Chirpich said that they are expecting some revised plans for the Rainbow site that will be presented to
the Council at a work session soon. He stated that there is a potential grocer partner for the site that is
almost ready to meet in a small group before going to the Council. He added that they could
potentially break ground in the spring of 2023.
Buesgens asked if a sign could be placed on the site once it is moving forward. In order to let the
community, know what is going on with the site.
Chirpich stated that a sign would designate with the community . He went on to talk about the previous
owner of the lot and their sale of multiple properties throughout the metro. Making the comment that
the City was ahead of the curve in purchasing the property prior to the large sell off.
Murzyn asked about the current leases of Ace Hardware and the other businesses at 4300 Central.
Chirpich stated that with the sale of that portfolio, Alatus was able to pick the termination date, and
that date will align with the lease expiration of Dollar Tree, which is around June 2023. He said that
there were attempts to try to keep them in the City and stated the mall owner has contacted the
Frattallone’s.
Chirpich said that the brewery that previously submitted an application for a CUP that had expired,
resubmitted an application that day. He stated that they have seen more interior plans and contractors
are getting ready to pull permits; there isn’t a timeline established yet.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. Approve Contract for Private Redevelopment with 42 Central Limited Partnership (Reuter
Walton)
Chirpich reported that in June of 2020, the City of Columbia Heights approved the sale of the
vacant land located behind the Public Safety campus to Reuter Walton Development for the
construction of an affordable housing apartment community. As part of the purchase
agreement, it was decided that the City and Reuter Walton would work together to develop a
site plan that included a future parcel for the relocation of the Southern Anoka Community
Assistance (SACA) food shelf and thrift store.
In June of 2021, Reuter Walton and the City completed the land use approval process for the
project that resulted in the creation of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) that includes a 62 -
unit affordable housing apartment complex and future development site for a new 12,000
square foot SACA facility. The PUD consists of two parcels, one for the apartments, and one for
the food shelf.
Concurrent to the land use approval process, Reuter Walton submitted an application to the
EDA for public financial assistance, specially requesting Tax Increment Financing (TIF) to support
the project. In March of 2022, the EDA approved the establishment of the 42nd and Jackson TIF
district and adopted a TIF plan for the project. Approval of the TIF plan did not obligate the EDA
to provide TIF assistance to the project. Rather, the plan established limits for assistance and
qualified the site as eligible for the creation of a housing TIF district per state law.

Item 2.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 9, 2022
Economic Development Authority Page 2
Now that the entitlements are in place and the land sale terms have been negotiated, it is time
to finalize and execute the Contract for Private Redevelopment. This agreement serves to
memorialize several important components of the land sale, and it also provides the terms for
the final TIF agreement and associated TIF note that will be issued to Reuter Walton. The
primary provisions of the agreement are as follows:
1. Reuter Walton will be reimbursed for TIF eligible expenses only.
2. The maximum principal amount of the TIF note (assistance) has been set at $732,000.
3. The expected duration of the TIF district is 18 years.
4. The EDA will be reimbursed by Reuter Walton for all costs associated with establishing the
TIF district.
5. 10 shared parking spaces are preserved on the Reuter Walton site by an easement in favor
of SACA.
6. Access to the 10 shared parking spaces is preserved through an access easement in favor of
SACA.
7. Reuter Walton agrees not to charge residents of the affordable housing community for
parking.
Staff recommends that the EDA approve Resolution 2022-13, thereby approving the Contract
for Private Redevelopment.
Questions/Comments from Members:
Szurek asked if they pay-as-you-go or if they pay at the end. Chirpich stated it is pay-as-you-go,
the risk is on the developer; the City does not front the money for development but instead the
developer does and they are reimbursed through taxes.
Herringer asked if the City sold the land or was it given. Chirpich said that the City is selling the
land, the closing is expected to take place at the end of June 2022; it is $450,000 for the Reuter
Walton site.
Herringer asked what the expected value of the building will be. Chirpich asked the developer
for the taxable market value for the project. Jared Ackmann stated it would be $13 million.
Szurek asked if Reuter Walton would be handling the processing of applications and calculating
what the rent would be. Chirpich stated the management company for Reuter Walton will be
responsible for checking income eligibility due to the agreements with the City and the type of
financing from HUD.
Szurek asked if there will be public spaces for children to play and stated she was concerned
about the potential of children playing in the parking lot or street. Chirpich stated there will be
a small playground, that also has a common space for picnic tables and grilling, all which is
fenced.
Jacobs stated she thought they were making additional space towards the back of the parking
lot available next to the SACA property. Chirpich stated there was an area that included a dog

run that had to be changed to a stormwater area. He added that this concern was also voiced
by residents during the site plan approval process and the park infrastructure within the vicinity
is reasonable; the site plan was approved by the Planning Commission and the Council.
Buesgens stated that there isn’t much activity at the playground at the Flats and there isn’t
children playing outside as much as they used to. She said she isn’t concerned about the size of
the playgrounds.
Jacobs asked if it would be possible as the project moves forward to see if they could make
more space, not necessarily in contract.
Novitsky asked if SACA would have a park and stated that it could potentially be used too.
Jacobs added it should be thought about and be good to know what it may look like.
Márquez-Simula said the good thing is the park area will be fenced. Szurek stated the park was
not on the plan or the plat so she was unaware of what it would look like.
Szurek opened the public hearing.
No one wished to speak.
Szurek closed the public hearing.

AGENDA SECTION BUISNESS ITEMS
MEETING DATE 7/5/2022
ITEM: Façade Improvement Grant Program Expansion, Central Ave
DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Mitchell Forney, 6/15/22
BACKGROUND:
During the last EDA meeting commissioners brought up concern s about a few businesses that are still not
included in the range of the Façade Improvement Grant program. During the discussion the commission gave
staff the guidance to further research the effects of expanding the grant program further up central Ave. Some
of the commissioners expressed concern about the inclusion of the many franchises that inhabit the northern
part of Central Ave. Below, staff have brought forth a few options along with examples of how changes to the
program may include or exclude certain businesses.
The First option in increasing the coverage of central avenue is to expand the program from 47th to 50th.
Making this expansion adds 17 new businesses to the eligible business list. 11 of these have locations solely in
Columbia Heights. Some examples would be Big Marina, Asia Chow Mein, Heights Bakery, and Crafty Crab.
While 6 franchised/multiple location businesses would be included in the expansion. For example, Sonic, Taco
Bell, Jimmy Johns, and Savers.
The second option is very similar to option number one but extends the Façade Improvement Grant to
encompass all Central Avenue. This change would add 38 new businesses to the eligible business list. 16 of
these have locations solely in Columbia Heights. Some examples that extend beyond those in the first option
are: Griffis Car Care, Quick Fix, E & M Beauty Supply, Great Health Nutrition, and Diaa Barber. While 22
franchised/ multiple location businesses would be included in the expansion including Chipotle, La Casita,
Domino’s, Wendy’s, and Speedway.
It is important to note that in the past the EDA has approved certain local, regional, and nationally recognized
chains and franchises. For example, Dairy Queen and Midas, which received grants in 2020 and 2018, are
nationally recognized franchises which are locally owned. Previous decisions prioritized improvements made
to the existing structure rather than the type of business that applied.
The very first option researched by staff was to put a limit on the age of approved buildings. Staff dove into
the idea of excluding any buildings built after the year 2000. In compiling data staff chose to focus on the
section of central in question 47th to 53rd in Columbia heights. Of the 22 franchised/multiple location
businesses, 12 would be unable to receive the grant. Some examples are chipotle, KFC, taco bell, and sonic.
While regionally and nationally recognized franchises make up a large part of northern Central Ave. Many of
the buildings were built in the 70’s and 80’s and have been retrofitted for their current use. Staff did not
review all the properties in the grant area but from a widespread blanket review the exclusion of buildings
built after 2000 would have little effect on the rest of the grant area.
Community development staff also explored the idea of eliminating franchises from the program. In speaking
with the City attorney this would be a legal gray area requiring more research and would be unfavorable if
48

there are other ways available to achieve the EDA’s goals. By eliminating all franchises from the program,
locally owned and locally active franchises would also be barred from utilizing the program.
To date the Façade Improvement Grant Program has been an effective and selective program. 6 applicants
have been rejected due to not meeting the grant programs criteria or by recommending improvements which
were deemed not enough of a change/improvement. This is exemplified by a business located at 4111 Central
Ave. Which applied two years in a row for a signage update. The EDA determined not to approve the
application because the sign was just an updated version of the current one . In the end, the EDA has ultimate
authority over weather or not to approve a Façade Improvement Grant applicant for a multitude of reasons. If,
the Authority can clearly articulate why an improvement does not meet the programs guidelines or goals. This
is clearly articulated in the application agreement on page 2. By utilizing the current language, the EDA can
limit applications that attempt to utilize the grant to cover normal maintenance. If the EDA would like to take
it, one step further. Language such as “Projects determined by the EDA to be normal maintenance are
considered ineligible.” could be added to the program. While this language would more directly mitigate the
issues brought forth by the EDA. It would also limit certain projects that in the past were seen as good
improvements.
If the EDA would like to include more small businesses in the program while limiting the use of the grant for
routine maintenance. Community Development staff recommend expanding the program from 47th to 50th
and maintaining the current language of the program. By engaging in selective processing of grant
applications. Which is currently done. The EDA maintains the Authority to be flexible but decisive in how the
program achieves its goals. By only expanding the from 47 th to 50th. The EDA limits the number of franchises

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
In a collaborative effort with the Columbia Heights Police Department (the “CHPD”), the Columbia Heights
Economic Development Authority (the “EDA”) offers a Façade Improvement Grant Program (the “Grant
Program”). The purpose of the Grant Program is to encourage businesses and commercial property owners to
revitalize, rehabilitate, and restore exterior store fronts, but also for the CHPD to provide monitored surveillance
in the City to reduce the incident rate of criminal activity, as well as increase business vitality and economic
performance. The Grant Program reimburses businesses or commercial property owners for eligible
improvements up to fifty percent (50%) of the total project cost; for a maximum reimbursement of $5,000.
Moreover, if determined by the CHPD that an exterior surveillance system is warranted, the EDA will install
surveillance equipment to monitor adjacent businesses and properties, as well as parks and open spaces.

MEETING DATE 7/5/2022
ITEM: 3841 Central and 670 40th Discussion
DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Mitchell Forney 6/29/2022
BACKGROUND:
This letter seeks to bring forth, for discussion, the issue of 3841 central and 670 40 th. Both properties are
owned by the EDA and City respectively. It is important for staff to receive an idea of how the EDA would like
to move forward regarding both properties. This issue has been revisited many times over the past few years
and staff would like to finalize any projects or transfers with regards to the properties. The history of each
property is complex to say the least and will be summarized below. Ultimately Staff are looking for guidance
on how the EDA would like to handle Each situation.
3841 Central was purchased in in 2017 for $200,000 due to the property being commercial non-conforming.
After being purchased, Community Development staff put together the idea of working with the Greater
Metropolitan Housing Corporation (the “GMHC”) to possibly move the house rather than demolish it. During
the planning phase GMHC developed a PRO FORMA which found that after purchasing the house from the city
for a dollar, moving the house, and selling the house they would be in the negative for approximately $72,153.
GMHC came back to the EDA asking if, as part of the deal, the EDA would provide gap funding for the $72,153.
At the November 6, 2017, meeting the EDA approved the sale of the house for a dollar but did not approve
any gap funding. In 2018 Staff along with GMHC brought forth a separate plan which included moving the
house to a city owned property at 670 40th Ave. With this, the City would sell both the house and the lot at
670 40th to GMHC for $1 apiece. GMHC would move the house from 3841 Central to 670 40th but requested
gap financing of $25,000 dollars. The motion for gap f inancing passed 4-2 and the project was referred to the
city council. The public hearing never occurred, and the project ceased.
There are a few options regarding the future of 3841 Centr al. Currently there are utilities, insurance, and other
management costs that continue to pile up the longer the property sits vacant. If the EDA would like to
reconsider the option of moving the house the process would require much more staff time without the
assistance of the GMHC. The PRO FORMA from 2019 estimated that moving the house would cost a total of
approximately $293,500. If moved to 670 40th staff believe the house could be sold for approximately
$300,000 dollars. Add in the $200,000 initial cost and all the estimated deposition costs $22,655. The project
comes out to a net loss of approximately $216,155 in 2019. This estimate was gathered by utilizing some of
the original PRO FORMA along with bids from contractors. It is assumed that the price of the project would be
inflated by a minimum of 16% if it follows the Consumer Price Index. And possibly much more with the current
market for construction services and materials. This also does not take into effect the amount of staff time
that would be dedicated to receiving bids, approving bids, and managing contractors for the complex project.
The final option is to demolish the site in preparation for future development. With an initial cost of $200,000
and a demolition cost of approximately $25,000 the total loss for 3841 would be approximately $225,000
dollars. Some of this cost could then be recovered by the sale of 670 40th for redevelopment which is brought
forth below.

In 2008 the owner of the property located at 670 40 th Ave NE (formerly known as 666 40th), reached out to the
city via the attached letter to inquire about donating the property. Located on the property was a 2 -story
commercial/residential building that had been used as a dental laboratory. Over time the structure had be en
vacated and sat in disrepair. As soon as city staff had received the letter, they began to work with the owner’s
attorney to obtain ownership documents approving the donation of the property. In 2011, before the
donation could be executed, the building was posted as hazardous due to a broken pipe that flooded the
basement. The structure continued to decline and in 2012 the EDA found that the donation could not be
accepted due to outstanding title obligations. In 2016 the title issues had been resolved an d the donation of
the property had been accepted. City staff worked to demolish the structure on the lot, which was completed
in 2012. The donation was accepted with the assumption that the City would keep the lot as an access to the
park. The EDA of 2012 decided that the property would be used as a park access due to the zoning issues of
the property and the account in the letter submitted, stating that the property had sometimes been used as
an access to Huset Park. The property was and still is zoned lim ited business which prohibits the lot from being
redeveloped as a single-family home. EDA members showed interest in the redevelopment of the lot as a
single-family home but chose to forego rezoning the lot to maintain it as a part of the park. All of this is
exemplified by the minutes of the EDA meeting dated 11-05-2012. (Attachment #4) Resolution 2012-15 states
the property is being accepted as a park, but there was no formal action taken solidifying that to a deed or any
other legal documentation.
There are a multitude of paths forward for the property including the one listed above with regards to 3841. If
the EDA does not want to take up the redevelopment of the site, or if the City Council would like the property
to remain a park access. Community development staff will forward on the results of the discussion to the
parks department and allow them to proceed with any recommendations or ideas.
If the EDA would like to redevelop the site, it has multiple options. Developing a single-family residential unit
on the property fits in line with the current makeup of the nearby properties. As stated above, the property is
currently zoned limited business. Which does not allow for any creation of single -family residential, even as a
conditional use. In order to redevelop single family on the lot staff would recommend adding single family
homes as a conditional use to the limited business district. By adding the conditional use the limited business
district would maintain its commercial focus but allow for selective residential in the Transitional Development
District. In the 2040 Comprehensive Plan the Limited Business District, which is called the Transitional
Development District, is described as “Commercial/retail development will consist of a mix of neighborhood
service-oriented development and varying densities of residential development.” The goals set by the comp
plan state that “development in this area will focus on strengthening the residential character of 40th Avenue
and allow for opportunities of neighborhood retail/commercial activity.” Currently, the makeup of the Limited
business zoned properties on 40th is 33 single/multi-family residential lots and 9 commercial lots. Any change
to the conditional use would also affect the other areas zoned limited business. Currently University is made
up of 25 limited business lots, and Central has 17 lots. Ultimately the comp plan removes all limited business
sections other than 40th and adds one to the western part of University Ave between 37th and 40th. In the past
Community Development staff have been approached by single family developers interested in the site.
A small multiple-family structure is another possible redevelopment for the site. Currently Limited Business
zoning allows for the development of multi-family housing within the district. The lot having an estimated area
of 6,237 sq/feet allows for a small multi-family development, around 3 units. All development proposals would
have to meet setback requirements, enclosed off street parking requirements, and any items the Authority
59
Item 5.
Page 3
would like to require through the proposal process. In the past Community development staff have been
approached by small multifamily developers interested in the site.
As stated before, the property had been a commercial building in the past. A small commercial redevelopment
of the site is possible but may prove difficult. In the Eyes of the Comp plan there are no issues with having a
small commercial building on the site. Yet, many of t he small commercial buildings on 40th remain vacant
bringing into question the viability of a small commercial space on the lot. The Limited Business District allows
for a multitude of neighborhood like businesses. As highlighted above many of the neighbor ing properties are
made up of residential units which may be opposed to commercial on the site.
Both of the properties have complex pasts, and it is beneficial to devise a solid plan for the future of both
sites. For 3841 Central Community Development staff recommend the Demolition of the site in order to
prepare it for redevelopment. The costs of such an endeavor have only increased since the last PRO FORMA
and the staff time required for such a complex project exceeds many of the perceived benefits. The EDA had
the chance to move the house in the past but even with the help of a nonprofit the cost was too prohibitive.
With regards to 670 40th Staff recommend redevelopment of the lot. We have received interest from a variety
of residential developers that have proposed high quality projects ranging from single family to small
multifamily residential. With the addition of single-family conditional uses to the district, the City retains the
right to be selective in the transitional nature of the Limited Business District.
