Mayor Márquez Simula reported that Kim and Ryan Sebesta have been nominated by their
neighbors for leading the neighborhood in recycling, reuse, and general waste reduction.
They do this in practice by maximizing their use of their curbside single sort recycle cart
and the drop-off recycle center and will try to reuse otherwise discarded materials. They
also have a compost cart and maximize organics separation from the trash. Their efforts
reduce the use of landfills and saves the City expenses, as the City pays by the ton for trash.

snowblower, plus installed solar panels for their camper. We thank them for being a

sustainable in our daily practices.

B. Outstanding Business in Columbia Heights, Heights Pizza Man
Mayor Márquez Simula stated that Chris Kolstad was nominated by his employees, who
has kept his business going through the pandemic, and hires people that may have not had

people waiting for the bus, and that he is a “shining star” within the City. Mayor Márquez
Simula presented Kolstad with a Certificate of Commendation for Outstanding Business.
Kolstad thanked the Council for the opportunity and recognition. He stated he has run
businesses his whole life and this is a different setting than the others; they have had the
chance to get a lot of people and enjoy what they do.
C. National Night Out Proclamation
Mayor Márquez Simula proclaimed August 2, 2022, “National Night Out” and read the
City’s proclamation.
Chief Austin accepted the proclamation and stated that National Night Out is the highlight
of the year for the department. He stated that they have been part of National Night Out
for over 30 years and it’s an opportunity for them to get out in the community to talk

they anticipate 40 parties, and they will be adding to the list throughout the week. He said
that the Council is welcome to ride along if they would like to.

Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES July 25, 2022
City Council Meeting Page 3
Bohm stated she is a special education teacher, advocate, and a person with a disability, as
well as a parent to a child with a disability. She stated that the Americans with Disabilities
(ADA) started before the 1990’s, but the march took place on July 26, 1990; President
George Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act. She said that persons with
disabilities have faced discrimination in many ways such as not having access to public
places, safely living in their homes, and discrimination in the workforce. She further stated
that she has struggled if she should or shouldn’t disclose her disability throughout her life
in fear; she considers her disability a gift.
Bohm said that the ADA has meant a lot to her, because she not only has a physical
disability, but she also has invisible disabilities. She stated that the ADA is supposed to
allow them to have access to life but there is still a long way to go; she gave examples of
several ways discrimination still exists.
She thanked the Council for the proclamation and accepted it on behalf of the people who
have fought for the rights of the disabled and continue to do so.

ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
9. Change City Council Meeting Times
Manager Bourgeois reported that at the July Work Session, Staff presented the idea of
changing the Council regular and work session meeting times from 7:00 pm to 6:00 pm. to
make better use of Staff time and allow meeting participants to get home earlier in the
evening.
Manager Bourgeois stated that in the past, moving the meeting start time earlier was a
barrier to attendance and participation for community members who worked traditional
Monday through Friday 8:00 am-5:00 pm jobs as they would have to get home from work,
eat dinner, and then physically come to City Hall to be able to actively participate in Council
meetings. This has now changed with remote attendance and participation via Zoom,
which Council has recently confirmed they would like to continue to make available. Now,
residents can attend and participate in meetings from their own home or anywhere with
internet access.
Staff recommends changing the meeting start times for regular City Council meetings and
City Council work sessions from 7:00 pm to 6:00 pm. In addition, given the Economic
Development Authority (EDA) meets immediately prior to the Council work sessions, Staff
recommends changing the EDA meeting start times from 6:00 pm to 5:00 pm. These
meeting time changes would be effective for meetings beginning August 1, 2022. This
meeting time change would be permanent and be in effect unless and until the Council
votes to change it.
Motion by Councilmember Buesgens, seconded by Councilmember Jacobs, to change the
meeting start time for all regular City Council meetings and City Council work sessions to
6:00 pm effective August 1, 2022.
Motion by Councilmember Buesgens, seconded by Councilmember Novitsky, to change the
meeting start time for all regular Economic Development Authority meetings to 5:00 pm
effective August 1, 2022.
Bid Considerations
10. Accept and Award Contract for Public Safety Fence Improvement, City Project 2207
Director Hansen reported that on March 14, 2022, the Council authorized Staff to seek bids
to remove and replace existing chain link and decorative fence at the Public Safety Building
with anti-climb safety fencing. The project scope included fence removals, new anti -climb
fencing, concrete work, conduit and electrical installation, and access controls.

Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES July 25, 2022
City Council Meeting Page 6
Plans and specifications were prepared and advertised for bids in LIFE on May 13, 2022.
One bid was received and publicly read aloud at the June 7, 2022, bid opening. The Council
rejected this bid and authorized staff to prepare new plans and specifications that included
only fencing and gating work. These plans were readvertised for bid in LIFE on June 24,
2022, and electronically on the City’s website. On July 19, 2022, the rebid opening was held
and two bids were received. Century Fence Company in Forest Lake, MN was the low
bidder with a total bid of $357,534.86.
The bid is consistent with the engineer’s estimate for this portion of the work within the
entire project cost of $375,000 to $400,000. Staff will quote and coordinate the other work
(concrete work, conduit and electrical installation, and access controls) directly with
Century Fence. Funding will be from 2021 Police operating budget surplus that was
transferred into the Capital Building Fund 411.42100.45120.2207.
Based upon the bids received, Century Fence Company is the low, qualified, responsi ble
bidder. Staff is recommending award of the bid to Century Fence.
Motion by Councilmember Buesgens, seconded by Councilmember Novitsky, to accept and
award the contract for Public Safety Fence Improvement, City Project 2207, to Century
Fence Company of Forest Lake, MN based upon their low, qualified, responsible bid in the
amount of $357,534.86 with funds to be appropriated from Fund 411.42100.45120.2207
and, furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a contract for the
same.
CITY COUNCIL AND ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
Report of the City Council
Councilmember Novitsky thanked Staff for the great “Bring Your Kid to Work Day”, he was able to bring
his daughters in to see what they do; he stated he hoped to see it again next year.
Councilmember Jacobs made a statement to the community: “I recently raised questions concerning
regard for the intent to add recognition of local businesses to the Mayor’s ceremonial functions; under
other circumstances I fully support recognizing local businesses for their success and contributions to
the community; Pizza Man is a wonderful example of giving back to the community and I’m very
appreciative of their contributions. They are one of many businesses so deserving, unfortunately Pizza
Man has been caught in the web of this issue. I had hoped for delay in implementing this optional
recognition by the Mayor pending more in-depth discussion of the Council to evaluate the impact and
timing during an election, however, the decision was made by the Mayor to move forward with this
evening’s presentation. To provide a little background and clarity, I reference Pizza Man’s public
announcement of hosting a meet-and-greet for the Mayor. During a very short discussion during our
previous work session, the Mayor claimed she had not seen the post and did not know it was
advertised as a meet-and-greet, despite having commented on the thread prior to the work session,
confirming not only knowledge of the post, but also a sole responsibility to correct any inaccuraci es
when they may occur. The Mayor is in an active reelection campaign, consideration in to whether
10

City Council Meeting Page 7
business owner, or the employees are pre-determined to be voting residents of Columbia Heights, and
further considering how the meeting was publicly advertis ed, her intent to initiate giving recognition to
any business during an active campaign, appears to offer value in exchange for support. This is contrary
to the boarder and ethical violations of campaign law. I believe it is important to operate with full
transparency in what we do and how we perform as your elected officials. To be clear, I oppose any
elected official initiating a change to ceremonial actions, that during an active campaign risks any
appearance of personal gain or collusion. Again, my deepest apologies to Pizza Man and its employees
for any discomfort this issue may have caused.”
Councilmember Buesgens stated she attended the Mississippi Watershed Management Board meeting
that she is the liaison to; she said it’s exciting to see the work they are doing to clean the water; she
also got to talk to the new director. Buesgens attended the swearing in ceremony for Officer Boskovic;
attended the League of Women candidate forums; attended via Zoom Metro Council Housing and
Economic Committee, where they had some great ideas at the legislative level, unfortunately, many of
them had not been passed at the last session. She attended the MNDOT vision open house, they was a
great attendance; the committee presented the petitions to MNDOT and they had 607 signatures.
Buesgens added that just in the last five months, there has been over 60 accidents on Central Avenue.
She continues to volunteer at Lomianki at the Blooming Sunshine Garden; the corn, thyme, and fruit
trees are growing, there are benches that people can use. She stated she is taking care of the
flowerpots at City Hall and will be starting to do Murzyn Hall.
Mayor Márquez Simula commented on Councilmember Jacobs’ statement and stated that Pizza Man
had put on Facebook that they were having a private meet-and-greet for their employees and families
to celebrate the recognition and not related to a campaign. She continued onto her Council report: she
attended the Traffic Commission meeting, the Metro Cities Metropolitan Agencies Policy Committee
meeting, League of Women Voters candidate forum, and attended the swearing in of Officer Boskovic,
who she is noted is a new Officer but also a new citizen of the Country .
Report of the City Manager
Manager Bourgeois stated that tomorrow on July 26, 2022, there is the 37th Avenue Street Project
Open House at the library from 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm. This coming Saturday, July 30, 2022, there is a
ceremony honoring Curtis J. Ramsdall, who was killed in the line of duty, this is the 45th anniversary;
the service will take place at 10:00 am at Ramsdall Park. Bourgeois said that National Night Out is
August 2, 2022; the last music in the park is Tuesday, August 3, 2022,” Pickle” is playing from 6:30 pm –
8:00 pm at Huset Park; the primary election is August 9, 2022; the first movie in the park is Ferris
Bueller’s Day Off on August 11, 2022, at Huset Park. Bourgeois reminded candidates that ar e
campaigning: “campaign signs are not allowed within 100 feet of the absentee voting location, which is
City Hall or within 100 feet of a polling place on election day, or on public property where polling is
located, no signs in the right-of-way or other public property, no signs that support a specific candidate
or party are allowed on commercial property where products or services are sold to the public.”
COMMUNITY FORUM
Mayor Márquez Simula opened the community forum.
Frost Simula, City resident, stated he recently watched the replay of the Lions Jamboree parade on
11
Item 1.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES July 25, 2022
City Council Meeting Page 8
YouTube, but the commentary on it referenced that one of the candidates was running against the
“reprehensible Ilhan Omar of the 5th district”. He said he believed that kind of commentary should not
be allowed by the City.
Mary Granlund, City resident, stated she was in attendance because of the proclamation for ADA as
she lives with an invisible disability and many of her family members do, and she found it important to
be there. She further stated that she appreciated that businesses that are doing good work were also
recognized, especially Pizza Man who is doing work in the community. She said she was disheartened
by Councilmember Jacobs comments and found it inappropriate at the Council meeting.
Justice Spriggs, City resident, stated that someone recently reminded him, “how can he be expected to
fight for others, if he can’t even fight for himself”. He said he had a phone call yesterday with a person
who filled out a form to discuss his campaign; he stated that the name given was falsified and not a
registered voter in the State and the phone number was linked to a Councilmember. Spriggs stated he
was asked many questions about his campaign, qualifications, and they questioned him about his bi-
racial heritage. He stated that his grandparents were finally able to be married in an interracial
marriage after the 1967 Loving v. Virginia case. He further said that it is frustrating to be called out and
questioned on the basics of his identity and upbringing. Spriggs said he would like to see more
transparency and it is appalling to him that a Councilmember lied about their identity to a constituent
and how they treat the people they are representing. He further stated that this isn’t going to stop him
from wanting to make the City a better place, but now he understands why groups are
underrepresented and do not step up to participate in democracy.
Brenna Zeimet, City resident, spoke regarding the importance of the City recognizing businesses , and
stated that she supported what the Mayor is doing, and that it was inappropriate to accuse the Mayor
in a public setting of a crime when there is no proof. She further stated she is appalled after hearing
Spriggs speak and hopes there will be change in the City, especially how the Council treats the people
in the community.

2. Request for NO PARKING on North Side of 41st Avenue from Monroe Street to Jefferson Street
Residents Present:
Kt Jacobs, 4104 Monroe St
Dan Spriggs, 3331 Stinson Blvd
Kt Jacobs has requested No Parking on the north side of 41st Ave from Monroe St to Jefferson St. The
concern is that the width of the street cannot accommodate two-way traffic with parking on both sides.
41st Ave is a primary route for emergency vehicles from approximately Jackson St to Jefferson St. The
following No Parking restrictions are in place on 41st Avenue:
Monroe St to Quincy St – No Parking on the north side.
Quincy St to Jackson St – No Parking on the north side next to the Public Safety Building. No parking
on the south side, except for funerals.
Jackson St to Van Buren St – No Parking on either side of 41st Ave.
Van Buren St to Central Ave – No Parking on either side, except for a short distance next to Wargo
Park.
41st Ave is 30’ wide from Monroe St to Jefferson St, which is typical for residential streets in Columbia
Heights. It is 36’ to 37’ wide east of Monroe St.
Kt Jacobs, 4104 Monroe St, stated she has nothing more to add to her request except that she did meet with
Lenny Austin, Chief of Police, and Dan O’Brien, Assistant Fire Chief, to get their input. They were both quick
15
Item 3.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES June 21, 2022
Traffic Commission Page 2
to point out that they are used to making the zigzag across the city. They would not request the no parking
but would not be unhappy if it was implemented. There is an impairment of view coming up the hill on 41st
Ave and if cars are parked on the north side they obstruct the view of the alley. At the end of Jefferson St
people do tend to park close to the corner. Both chiefs did agree there should be no parking signs from the
corner. When coming around that corner at night you are committed to making the turn wide and into the
other lane before being able to see if cars are coming. No one is losing any parking with this request; the
homes all have driveways as well as street parking on the north-south streets. Davis agrees this makes
sense, there’s already no parking to the east and the road does narrow, plus it’s used as a main thoroughfare
for safety personnel.
Finkelson stated that the pictures show few parked cars or congested parking. He feels that in this case the
parked cars provide traffic calming and removing parking may have the effect of widening the road which
increases reckless driving. He understood that per state statute it’s prohibitive to park near the corner.
Young advised the red car in the photo is parked legally. Per state statute you can park up to 20’ from an
intersection except where there is a marked crosswalk or traffic signal. Finkelson thought it’s any crosswalk
not just a marked crosswalk. Young will need to seek clarification, it’s her understanding that it’s 20’ from
a marked crosswalk not any intersection. Kt stated there are areas in the city that have posted no parking
from here to corner signs and that is what she would request. In response to the photos of parked cars, the
amount of traffic is not consistent throughout the day, it just depends. These photos were taken in the
middle of the day, traffic and parking are heavier in the evening. She agrees narrower roads can help restrict
speeding, but this street is not wide enough to accommodate two vehicles forcing drivers to drive in the
middle of the street to get through. If there are two cars parked across from each other drivers it may force
you to slow down but you still don’t know what’s coming up the hill, it’s unsafe. Eastbound traffic on 41st
Ave has a better view of what’s coming up the hill but it’s not uncommon for drivers to stop when cars are
parked on both sides of the street before continuing.
Finkelson stated eastbound traffic would still need to cross the centerline due to parked cars. Kt advised
eastbound drivers have a better view of what’s ahead of them—that’s the difference. Westbound traffic
needs to come up the hill. She feels parking should be on the south side not the north side because of the
hill. She’s had a couple of calls on this from neighbors. There are also a lot more walkers and dog walkers
in the neighborhood, which is another reason to increase safety. Davis questioned moving the centerline.
Young advised it’s something that can be looked at, unfortunately this type of striping needs to be ground
off in order to cover it which is quite expensive but shifting the centerline would be the best alternative.
This would be an administrative decision that could be done at a future date.
Nekora lives on 40th Ave and Washington St so frequently uses this road a lot coming off Central Ave. The
only issue she’s run into is north-south vehicles not stopping or barely stopping. She’s also noticed several
cars at 41st Ave and Quincy St that have been parked in the no parking zone a couple days in a row. Kt
advised she also sees many drivers going the wrong way on a one way. The sign on Monroe St is only a red
yield sign. There’s a litany of issues in this area but she feels this one would be the best to fix.
Motion by Davis to hold a public hearing to request No Parking on the north side of 41st Avenue from Monroe
Street to Jefferson Street and no parking 30 feet from the southeast corner of Jefferson Street. Roll call
vote: Ciesynski Aye, Davis Aye, Finkelson Nay, Nekora Aye. Motion passes.
A public hearing will take place in July.

3. Traffic Speed Update for Reservoir Boulevard from 37th Avenue to 40th Avenue
In 2021 the Traffic Commission requested a speed comparison be obtained for Reservoir Blvd from 37th Ave to
39th Ave before and after restriping to add bike lanes and narrow the travel lanes.
Traffic patterns were obtained by the Police Department from May 18-22, 2021 with radar and from May 25-28,
2022 after Reservoir Blvd was restriped with bike lanes and narrower traffic lanes.
Comparison between the two data sets shows the 85th percentile speeds, which is the speed that 85% of
motorists drive, were within 1 mile of each other. In 2021 it was 35 mph and in 2022 it was 36 mph. The
average speed in 2021 is unavailable due to an equipment malfunction. The average speed in 2022 is 30 mph.
Finkelson stated it seems the bicycle path has had zero effect on traffic speed. Finkelson feels if we do bicycle
paths in the future we may want to use the plastic sticks to add a buffer. Bicyclists he spoke with stated that just
painting bicycle lanes does not provide any safer feeling.
Young also handed out another set of data at the meeting that showed the speeds on Reservoir Blvd near 40th
Ave are a little slower. The 85% percentile speed was 34 mph and the average speed was 24.5 mph.
REPORTS
City Engineer
Young advised that she included the simplified version of the Roberts Rules of Orders provided by the City
Clerk in the agenda packet.
She received three emails concerning traffic issues and these were all handled administratively as follows:
Request for 4-way stop signs at 50th Avenue and Jefferson Street
The concern is traffic not stopping at the stop signs at 49th Ave and Jefferson St (4-way stop) as well
as the signs stopping traffic on 50th Ave at Jefferson St (2-way stop) and the speed of traffic.
Currently traffic stops on 50th Ave at Jefferson St. There is a flashing light on the stop sign. The
threshold to put in a 4-way stop sign per the MMUTCD guidelines is “Five or more reported crashes
in a 12-month period that are susceptible to correction by a multi-way stop installation.”
The Police Department reviewed the accident records for th is intersection and there have been five
reported accidents since 2018. One reported accident in 2020, one in 2019 and three in 2018, with
one being due to snow and the other alcohol. Davis asked if there are any other options for a multi-
stop traffic light such as high traffic counts or pedestrian counts. Young stated the answer is yes,
these can also contribute. The Police Department did obtain some traffic counts but they were not
high enough. She also advised the purpose of a stop sign is to establish right-of-way at an
intersection and that’s already being done with the 2-way stop.
The resident was informed that the intersection at Jefferson St and 50 th Ave did not meet guidelines
for multi-way stop.

Request for flashing pedestrian crossing at Columbia Middle School
A parent has requested a flashing pedestrian light at the crossing by the middle school. Staff passed
this request on to Anoka County. They will study the crossing in the fall to determine if it meets the
criteria to install a pedestrian light. The light would only activate when the button is pushed, it would
not flash continuously.
Request for speed humps on St. Moritz Drive
The concern was traffic speed. Resident was informed that speed humps are not an option as St.
Moritz Dr is shared by both the cities of Columbia Heights and Fridley.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
4. Conditional Use Permit and Variance for Public Safety Site Perimeter Fence Located at 825 41st
Avenue NE
Introduction: Hark reported that the City of Columbia Heights has applied for a Conditional Use
Permit and Variance for the property located at 825 41st Avenue NE. The project site is home to
the City’s Police and Fire Departments, which was constructed in 2009. The applicant proposes to
construct an 8-foot-high perimeter security fencing to improve the overall security and safety of
the Public Safety campus. The proposed fencing on the western and a portion of the eastern
property lines will be black steel palisade anti-scale fencing with the top turned outwards. The
property’s proposed rear fencing will be chain link, with north and south chain link pivot gates that
meet the pavement. No fencing is proposed along the site’s front property line.
Zoning Ordinance: The subject property is located in the PO – Public and Open Space Zoning
District. It is adjacent to a Planned Unit Development (PUD #2021-01) to the north, One- and Two-
19
Item 4.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 03, 2022
Planning Commission Page 2
Family Residential District (R-2A) to the west, and Multiple-Family Residential District to the east
(R-4) and the south (R-3). Since the site is directly adjacent to residential zoning districts, the
fencing is considered “residential.” Per City Code §9.106(E)(2), fences exceeding six feet in height
shall be deemed structures and shall require a Conditional Use Permit. The Zoning Ordinance
further requires that fences cannot exceed seven feet in height. Because the proposed fence
exceeds this height, a Variance is also requested. The Zoning Ordinance requires the Planning
Commission to hold a public hearing on the applications for a Conditional Use Permit and Variance
and submit its recommendation to the City Council for final determination.
Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for Institutional Use, which is
consistent with its current use as the City’s Public Safety campus. The proposed perimeter security
fencing is compatible with the institutional use guided for this site by the Comprehensive Plan.
Findings of Fact: Section 9.104 (H) of the Zoning Code outlines nine conditions that must be met for
the City to grant a Conditional Use Permit. They are as follows:
(a) The use is one of the conditional uses listed for the zoning district in which the property is
located, or is a substantially similar use as determined by the Zoning Administrator.
Staff comments: City Code §9.106(E)(2) stipulates that residential fences that exceed six feet in
height shall require a Conditional Use Permit. This application is consistent with the
requirements of the Code.
(b) The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan.
Staff comments: The Comprehensive Plan guides this property for institutional use. Installing a
perimeter security fence around the City’s Public Safety Building is in harmony with the purpose
and intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
(c) The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties.
Staff comments: The proposed 8-foot height perimeter security fencing should not cause
hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties.
(d) The use will not substantially diminish the use of property in the immediate vicinity.
Staff comments: The proposed project should not diminish the use of the property in the
immediate vicinity.
(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.
Staff comments: The proposed black steel fencing is of high-quality material that is under 25%
opaque. Additionally, the proposed chain link fencing will also have very low opaqueness, which
will contribute to preserving the current appearance and character of the neighborhood.
(f) The use and property upon which the use is located are adequately served by essential public
facilities and services.
20
Item 4.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 03, 2022
Planning Commission Page 3
Staff comments: This is correct.
(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.
Staff comments: This is correct. The fencing should not affect traffic congestion on public streets
or on-site traffic circulation.
(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.
Staff comments: This is correct. The fencing should not cause a negative cumulative effect.
(i) The use complies with all other applicable regulations for the district in which it is located.
Staff comments: This is correct. The fence will be constructed of approved fencing materials per
the Zoning Ordinance and State Building Code.
Additionally, Section 9.104 (G) of the Zoning Code outlines five conditions that must be met for the
City to grant Variance. They are as follows:
(a) Because of the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or
other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the provisions of this
article would cause practical difficulties in conforming to the zoning ordinance. The applicant,
however, is proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning
ordinance.
Staff comments: The parcel in question serves as the home of the City’s Police and Fire
Departments. The public safety use warrants a two-foot increase in allowable fence height and
is permissible by the zoning ordinance through the Variance process.
(b) The conditions upon which the variance is based are unique to the specific parcel of land
involved and are generally not applicable to other properties within the same zoning
classification.
Staff comments: The specific parcel of land in question serves as the City’s sole public safety
center, making the conditions unique to the parcel.
(c) The practical difficulties are caused by the provisions of this article and have not been created
by any person currently having a legal interest in the property.
Staff comments: The subject property is publicly owned. The variance allowing additional height
of the fence will help improve the overall security and safety of the Public Safety campus.
(d) The granting of the variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Staff comments: The property is guided for institutional use. The proposal is consistent with the
general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
21
Item 4.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 03, 2022
Planning Commission Page 4
(e) The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
materially injurious to the enjoyment, use, development or value of property or improvements
in the vicinity.
Staff comments: It does not appear that the 8-foot fencing proposed for this site would be
detrimental to the public welfare of affect the overall enjoyment, use or value of the property in
the area.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the
proposed Conditional Use Permit and Variance for the property located at 825 41st Avenue NE,
subject to certain conditions.
Questions/Comments from Members:
Vargas asked what material the Impasse II rail, trademark “R” would be and expressed concerns
about the durability, specifically the fasteners and that it could cause rotting and the need to
repaint. Hark stated it would be steel and that Staff could monitor that in the coming years.
Deneen asked if any soft-scape materials were going to be added to minimize the impact of the
fence, since this is a residential area. Hark asked Johnston if there would be any landscape and he
stated that landscape will be adjusted, but the height of the fence is to prevent people from
climbing over it, so trees cannot be nearby.
Wolfe asked about the gates and why portions of fence are enclosed, specifically the back, and the
front is not. Johnston said that this project as part of a larger safety plan for the building, where
three sides will be in place permanently but the fourth side, which is already pur chased, can put in
temporarily if there becomes a need to secure the building. He added that currently the electrical
and inputs into the building are currently not secured, which is another thing to consider.
Novitsky asked if it would make sense to enclose all four sides at this time. Johnston referenced the
events that had taken place at Minneapolis and Brooklyn Center, and stated that they believe this
plan allows for additional security but keeps a good open visual at the front of the building for the
majority of the time, unless the additional security is needed.
Public Hearing Opened.
David DeGennaro, City resident, stated that his question was already answered by Johnston as he
wanted to know what prompted the plans for this type of fence. He also asked if there have been
any studies on how this type of fence affects the value of nearby properties. Johnston stated that
he has not seen any studies on fencing and property values. Hark added that City Staff has
determined that the fencing would not diminish the quality or feel of the properties in the
surrounding areas.
Hoium stated his concern about the building having a “prison fence” around it and he isn’t sure he
agrees with the need. He asked if this is going to continue to the other City buildings, and where is
the line.
22
Item 4.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 03, 2022
Planning Commission Page 5
Deneen asked if it was considered just to do the backside of the building where electrical, squads,
or employee vehicles are, and leaving the other sides open and bringing in temporary housing if
needed. Johnston stated that if an incident happens, there is a time issue ; having to store that
amount of fence, haul it in and assemble it in a timely manner. The one temporary side is 600 feet.
Hoium said that the plan includes 8-foot chain link fence around the back where there is already a
12-foot wall. Johnston stated that they didn’t look at the height of the wall, it’s the ability to scale it
and climb over. He added that they looked at 10-foot and 8-foot and felt that 8-foot was a good
height and moved that recommendation forward.
Hoium asked if the current fence along the back was 5-feet high. Johnston agreed. He added that
the cloth from 2 ¼ inch to 1-inch mesh which is what makes it “anti-scale”.
Hoium asked if there have been any security problems up to this point or are they anticipating a
riot. Johnston stated they are planning for what may happen, they have not had any security
threats at this point.
Vargas stated that there are some elevation and grade changes on the north side of the building
and asked if those have been thought of to incorporate to deter people. Johnston stated that they
are going to use the elevation, but they discovered that there were footpaths, indicating people
were still walking through the elevations. He added that they want to try to secure access points in
an event where they don’t have to utilize staff to do that.
Hoium asked why the swamp area was not included in the fenced area. Johnston stated that it
would cost extra and it’s not an area they are trying to protect.
Vargas asked Staff if the pond is considered a dry pond or if it is draining somewhere specific.
Chirpich stated that the pond is surplus capacity, meaning surcharge events will fill it up, and then
it will dissipate; most of the time it is dry. He added it would be easier for Public Works to maintain
and if it was fenced, the fence would be closer to the residential properties.
Hoium asked what other cities have surrounded their Public Safety buildings like this. Johnston
stated he is aware of the federal building that was built in Brooklyn Center, Anoka County Sheriff’s
office, and any buildings that are being built currently, he believes fencing like this will be
considered.
Vargas stated he believes the Police Department in Brooklyn Park also has a similar fence.
Wolfe said that she recalls that when the Public Safety building was built, that she was surprised
there wasn’t fencing on the Police side at least.
Deneen stated that the residential properties will have a big impact from the change in the fencing
and asked about if any landscape was going to be done in those areas. Johnston said that more
decorative fencing was selected for that area and any landscaping th at is impacted will get
backfilled.
23
Item 4.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES May 03, 2022
Planning Commission Page 6
Wolfe stated that letters would have been sent out requesting feedback from the impacted
properties. Hark said that notices were sent to properties within 350-feet of the entire site and she
received questions regarding the process but no complaints.
Public Hearing Closed.
Motion by Vargas, seconded by Hoium, to close the public hearing and waive the reading of the
draft resolution attached, there being ample copies available to the public. All ayes. MOTION
PASSED.
Motion by Vargas, seconded by Wolfe, to recommend that the Planning Commission recommend to
the City Council approval of the Conditional Use Permit and Variance as presented, subject to the
following conditions of approval:
1. The site plan included in this submittal shall become part of this approval.
2. The applicant shall submit a building permit application for review and approval prior to
construction.
3. Fences greater than seven feet in height shall be of an engineered design and capable of
withstanding the applicable wind loads in the Minnesota State Building Code.
4. All other applicable local, state, and federal requirements shall be met at all times.
A roll call vote was taken. All ayes. MOTION PASSED.
OTHER BUSINESS
5. Role of Planning Commissioner
Hark stated that in the packet they received a PowerPoint presentation regarding all the rules and
regulations and what it means to be a Planning Commissioner. She asked if there are any questions.
The Commissioners thanked Hark for providing it as a refresher.
6. Reminder: Planning Commission Meeting Tuesday, June 7, 2022
Hark reminded the Commission that at this meeting they will elect officers and they have three
applications that they have received: a fireworks tent, a lot-line adjustment, and a conditional use
permit for a brewery.
Hoium asked about the fireworks tent and thought that it was going to be an administrative
application. Hark stated it is still in the City Code and hopefully it can be updated soon.

Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86252215747 at the scheduled meeting time. For questions, please call the library at 763-706-3690.
The meeting was called to order in the Library Community Room by Chair Teresa Eisenbise at 5:30pm.
Members physically present: Teresa Eisenbise; Carrie Mesrobian; Gerri Moeller; Rachelle Waldon; Chris Polley; Nick
Novitsky (Council Liaison). Members remotely present: N/A. Members Absent: N/A. Also present: Renee Dougherty
(Library Director); Nick Olberding (Recording Secretary); Jane Polley (CHPL Foundation). Public physically/remotely
present: Dan Spriggs; Justice Spriggs.
1. Review/Approve Minutes from June 1, 2022, Library Board Meeting: Moved and approved.
2. Review Operating Budget: 6 months (~50%) into the year and 44% of the budget spent.
a. Minor Equipment (42010): New digital camera ($99.99) to replace a 12+ year old one.
b. General Supplies (42171): This budget line has been encumbered by the cost HEPA filters for the HVAC
system. Existing filters were installed when the building opened in 2016 and need to be replaced; average
life expectancy of these filters is 5-6 years.
COMMUNITY FORUM: Opportunity for public input.
Jane Polley: The CHPL Foundation’s Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser will be held September 14, 4:30-7:00 pm @
Murzyn Hall; $10 for adults, $5 for ages 6-12, 5 and under free. Jane asked if any members of the Library Board
would volunteer to help with the event; several members said they would be available to help serve the meals.
For 1st Shift (4:30-5:45 pm): Teresa on salads, and Carrie on bread; for 2nd shift (5:45-7pm): Gerri on spaghetti
noodles.
Dan/Justice Spriggs: Asked whether there were any updates on groups deterred by the Community Room fee?
There have been several bookings recently (ISD-13 & townhome associations), but mainly larger groups with
more resources; Renee will keep count of groups that inquire with her and decide not to rent. The Men’s Book
Club has moved to Silverwood Park. Has the Library Board reached out to MN/DOT about a Central Avenue
crosswalk for the Library? No, but during construction a request for a southbound turn lane into the parking lot
was rejected. Dates of upcoming MN/DOT public input meetings (in-person & virtual) on the future of
Central/University Avenues were shared with encouragement for those with ideas/concerns to attend. It was
suggested that concerns raised in recent City surveys should be forwarded to MN/DOT.
3. Leigh Miller (e-mail): The Board reviewed her email regarding overdue fines and concern that requested items
may be taking longer to receive because previous users are keeping them past the due date because there’s no
fear of overdue fines. The Board considered this possibility when contemplating their recommendation to
eliminate overdue fines. Because the change occurred only a few months ago and CHPL is the only fine-free
location within Anoka County; there is insufficient data to assess the impact on hold item wait times. The Board
acknowledged that Renee’s reply to Leigh had addressed everything that they would have.
OLD BUSINESS: N/A
NEW BUSINESS:
4. Introduction of Columbia Heights Youth Commissioner (Tsenat Mamo): Tsenat lives in Columbia Heights;
recently graduated from Immaculate Conception School and will be attending DeLaSalle High School. Since
beginning earlier in 2022, the Youth Commission has been finding its bearings, attending other 26
Item 5.
Commission/Board meetings to learn how they work, and figuring out their direction for the coming months.
Tsenat is excited for the opportunity!
5. Proposed 2023 Library Budget: This is the first budget created with the City’s new financial software (BS&A). The
proposed 2023 budget includes a 5% increase, mostly for increased personnel costs resulting from pay increases
in all city departments recommended by the pay study. Other proposed increases include building and
technology maintenance agreements, utility rates, and administrative costs. Renee will be meeting with the City
Manager and Finance Director in July.
6. Grant from Columbia Heights Public Library Foundation of $2,750 for “Minnesota on the Road with Doug
Ohman” Program Series: Doug Ohman has presented historical and regional travel programs at the Library in the
past which were very well attended; and he has been a very engaging presenter. MOTION: To recommend that
the City Council accept a $2,750 grant from the CHPL Foundation for a “Minnesota on the Road with Doug
Ohman” seven program Series. Gerri Moeller motioned; Carrie Mesrobian seconded; Motion approved.
7. Grant from CHPL Foundation of $3,000 for 2022 Refresh of Early Learning Play Space: The Foundation made a
2017 grant to establish a play learning space, which acknowledges that the “work” of children is play. Play is a
vital component of brain development and school readiness and supports the library’s mission of lifelong
learning. Because the original play space was not part of the annual operating budget, it seemed appropriate to
request additional funds from the Foundation for a refresh. Eliza Pope (Youth Services Librarian) notes that
patrons are very passionate and vocal about the value of early literacy games, tools, and toys and a public, indoor
space; although some continue to be concerned about shared spaces and objects during a pandemic. The 2022
refresh will focus on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) toys. MOTION: To recommend that the
City Council accept a $3,000 grant from the CHPL Foundation to refresh the Early Learning Play Space. Gerri
Moeller motioned; Carrie Mesrobian seconded; Motion approved.
DIRECTOR’S UPDATE: Operational reports, general updates, event reminders, and items from the floor.
8. May Board Report: For Your Information.
a. Kristal Leebrick’s Author Talk (Thank You for Shopping) on the history of department stores in the Twin
Cities downtown areas was well attended and engaging. Quite a few attendees shared stories from when
they worked and/or shopped at these establishments.
b. Joe Kimball’s Author Talk (Secrets of the Congdon Mansion) was also well attended and very interesting.
c. Storywalks and Poems in the Park are unstaffed, self-directed programs which are offered along trails in
city parks for 1-2 days at a time. During the pandemic, socially distanced and self-directed programs were
added to library program offerings. Because these programs are not staffed, it is difficult to measure
success, but attendance is estimated by asking participants to drop a popsicle stick in a bucket.
There being no further business, a motion to adjourn was made and seconded at 6:33 pm and the meeting was
adjourned.

3. Interim Use Permit for Seasonal Fireworks Sales Tent located at 4001 Central Avenue NE
Introduction: Hark reported that Renaissance Fireworks, Inc. has applied for an Interim Use
Permit to allow the operation of a seasonal fireworks sales tent at 4001 Central Avenue NE.
The specific development standards for outdoor fireworks sales/display are found in
28
Item 6.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES June 07, 2022
Planning Commission Page 2
Section 9.107 (C) (22) of City Code, and will be added as conditions of approval for this
permit. The attached property and tent location map illustrates the configuration and
orientation of the fireworks tent to Central Avenue. The Fire Chief and Building Official will
conduct a site inspection of the tent.
Zoning Ordinance: The property located at 4001 Central Avenue NE is in the CBD, Central
Business District. The properties to the north and west are also zoned Central Business,
while the properties to the east are zoned in the R-4, Multiple Family Residential District.
The site to the south of the subject property is zoned as a Planned Unit Development,
which will have a mix of multi-family residential, commercial, and institutional uses.
Seasonal Fireworks Sales is allowed as Interim Use in the Central Business Zoning District.
Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan designates the property for commercial use.
The proposal for seasonal fireworks sales is consistent with the intent of the City’s
Comprehensive Plan.
Findings of Fact: Section 9.104 (I) 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:
(a) 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.
Staff comments: Fireworks tents are specifically listed as an Interim Use in the Central
Business District, and are considered retail sales, which are permitted.
(b) The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
Staff comments: The Comprehensive Plan designates the property for commercial use,
including retail sales. The proposal is consistent with the intent of the City’s
Comprehensive Plan.
(c) The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties.
Staff comments: The proposed temporary use should not impose hazardous or
disturbing influences on neighboring properties because of its proximity to Central
Avenue. It is screened from adjacent residential uses by the surrounding commercial
buildings.
(d) The use will not substantially diminish the use of property in the immediate vicinity.
Staff comments: The fireworks tent shouldn’t diminish the use of the adjacent
properties.
(e) The use will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a manner t hat is
compatible with the appearance of the existing or intended character of the
surrounding area.
Staff comments: The Fire Department will conduct an on-site inspection prior to any
temporary sales. All State and City requirements regarding fireworks sales will be met.
29
Item 6.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES June 07, 2022
Planning Commission Page 3
(f) 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.
Staff comments: The traffic generated by the fireworks tent will not significantly
increase the flow of traffic on the public streets. Additionally, the site is large enough to
handle additional on-site traffic.
(g) The use will not cause a negative cumulative effect on other uses in the immediate
vicinity.
Staff comments: The fireworks tent should not have a negative impact on other uses in
the immediate vicinity, which are all zoned commercial.
Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the Interim
Use Permit to allow the operation of a seasonal fireworks sales tent at 4001 Central
Avenue, subject to conditions of approval outlined below.
Vargas asked if this permit differs at all from the others they have received throughout the
years. Hark stated it is the same.
Hoium asked about changing the permit process, so they don’t have to come before the
Planning Commission. Hark stated that this is embedded into the Code for the CBD zoning
district and all other districts that it is an allowed use through an interim use permit; what
an interim use permit process entails would need to be amended, to change that it
wouldn’t need to be approved by the Planning Commission. She further stated that Staff
plans to move forward with an administrative application, where Staff would review and
approve.
Hoium and Vargas commented on the Safety Data Sheet stating it is not readable and out-
of-date. Hark stated that whether it goes through the same process next year to the
Planning Commission or is an administrative application, they will require that they submit
an updated copy.
Sahnow opened the public hearing.
No one wished to speak.
Motion by Sahnow, seconded by Hoium, to close the public hearing and waive the reading
of Resolution No. 2022-PZ01, there being ample copies available to the public. All ayes.
MOTION PASSED.
Motion by Hoium, seconded by Kaiser, to adopt Resolution No. 2022-PZ01, being a
resolution approving an Interim Use Permit for a fireworks sales tent at 4001 Central
Avenue NE, from June 24, 2022, to July 5, 2022, subject to the conditions stated in the
resolution. All ayes. MOTION PASSED.

Conditional Use Permit for a Brew Pub located at 4001 Central Avenue NE
Introduction: Hark reported that William Roberts of Rail Werks Brewing Depot has applied
for a Conditional Use Permit to allow for the operation of a brew pub at Columbia Heights
Mall, located at 4001 Central Avenue NE, specifically within Suite 4055. The brew pub is
proposed to include a microbrewery production facility, full-service bar with in-house
brewed beers and craft cocktails, food service specializing in smoked meats, a game zone
for iceless curling, and a private party room. The applicant was previously approved for a
Conditional Use Permit for a brew pub at the same location by Resolution No. 2020-18 on
February 10, 2020. The Conditional Use Permit has since become null and void due to the
lack of project completion within the calendar year following the project’s approval. This
current application acts as the petition for the renewal of the previously approved
Conditional Use Permit.
Zoning Ordinance: The subject property is located in the CBD – Central Business District. It
is adjacent to the Central Business District (CBD) and Multiple Family Residential District (R -
4) to the north, Central Business District (CBD) to the west, and Multiple-Family Residential
District (R-4) to the east. Just south of the site is a Planned Unit Development (PUD No.
2020-01), to include the new City Hall, multiple-family dwelling units, and a café.
The Zoning Ordinance defines a brew pub as “a restaurant that conducts the retail of on -
sale malt liquor consumed and brewed on the premise.” The Zoning Ordinance allows brew
pubs by Conditional Use Permit in the Central Business District. The Conditional Us e Permit
requirements, licensing requirements, and applicable Zoning Ordinance requirements are
all discussed in this report. The Zoning Ordinance requires the Planning Commission to hold
a public hearing on the application for a Conditional Use Permit and submit its
recommendation to the City Council for final determination, which will be Monday, June
13, 2022.
Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for Transit Oriented
Development. Transit Oriented Development seeks to promote a variety of uses, including
retail businesses. The proposed brew pub is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s
goals.
Site Plan: The following numbered items are an analysis of the application plans against the
City Code and Zoning Ordinance. Since the applicant intends to occupy a vacant tenant bay
in an existing commercial building, note that some of the conditions are previously existing.
1. Parking
The existing shopping center contains numerous parking spaces that serve the tenants
of the site. The site is located in the Central Business District, which does not require
parking. It should be noted that the performance standards for a brew pub do not
contain specific requirements for off-street parking; only confirmation that the site
complies with parking requirements for the district where the site is located. In this
regard, the site is compliant with its parking standard.
31
Item 6.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES June 07, 2022
Planning Commission Page 5
2. Access
The site is currently served by access from Central Avenue NE, 40th Avenue NE, and
41st Avenue NE. The site has a service road on the rear of the building for trash
handling service and deliveries. No changes to site access are proposed.
3. Signage
The applicant has not submitted drawings for on -site signage. Signs are required to
have a building permit and are subject to review for compliance by City Staff. As a
condition of approval, all signage shall be reviewed by the City for approval.
4. Trash Container / Trash Service
The site has trash service on the rear of the building that serves all the tenants of the
site. The project will be conditioned to use poly trash containers to help mitigate noise
from trash handling services.
5. Fire Access
The area in front of the building is marked with yellow curb paint and signage that
states “No Parking – Fire Lane”. As a condition of approval, this will be required to
remain.
6. Pedestrian and Bicycle Access
The site has pedestrian access to connect the parking area to the building. The parking
area is connected to the City’s sidewalk system so pedestrians may access the site. It
does not appear that the site provides access or parking of bicycles. The 2040
Comprehensive Plan land use goals state that sites should have pedestrian and bicycle
access. While the pedestrian access appears to be satisfied, the site should incorporate
a bicycle parking area to satisfy this goal. Staff is recommending that a bicycle rack
capable of accommodating four bicycles be a condition of approval. Additionally, it
should be noted that the site also contains a transit hub.
7. Patio / Outdoor Dining Area
The applicant is not proposing any outdoor patio areas at this time. If an outdoor patio
and dining area is proposed in the future, the applicant shall submit an updated site
plan for review by City Staff. This may require an amended or new Conditional Use
Permit.
8. Loading Area
The applicant is proposing to use an eight-foot by eight-foot overhead door on the rear
of the building for loading and unloading purposes. As a condition of approval, supplies
can only be delivered through this rear loading area. No loading or deliveries shall be
allowed from the front of the building.
9. Neighborhood Notification
32
Item 6.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES June 07, 2022
Planning Commission Page 6
A Notice of Public Hearing was sent to property owners within 350 feet of the project
site. City Staff received phone calls and emails from residents bot h supporting the
project and requesting more information. No comments of opposition were received by
City Staff.
10. Staff Review
The project submittal was reviewed by the Public Works Department, Fire Department,
Police Department, and Community Development Department. City Staff found that
the conditions of approval from Resolution No. 2020 -18 were still relevant and
sufficient for this Conditional Use Permit renewal. No additional comments or
conditions were provided.
Findings of Fact: Section 9.104 (H) of the Zoning Code outlines nine conditions that must be
met in order for the City to grant a Conditional Use Permit. They are as follows:
(a) The use is one of the conditional uses listed for the zoning district in which the property
is located, or is a substantially similar use as determined by the Zoning Administrator.
Staff Comments: The use is specifically listed as a conditional use in the Central Business
District under Section 9.110(F)(3)(k).
(b) The use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan.
Staff Comments: The Comprehensive Plan guides this property for retail, office, and
multi-family residential. As a brew pub, the use will be in harmony with the general
purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan.
(c) The use will not impose hazards or disturbing influences on neighboring properties.
Staff Comments: In review of the applicant’s site plan and narrative, Staff does not feel
this will be an issue at this site. Staff has added conditions related to noise and crowd
control to ensure that this project would not impose disturbing influences on
neighboring properties.
(d) The use will not substantially diminish the use of property in the immediate vicinity.
Staff Comments: The proposed project should not diminish the use of the property in the
immediate vicinity.
(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.
Staff Comments: The use will be occupying an existing building as part of a larger
shopping center. No significant changes to the design are proposed.
(f) The use and property upon which the use is located are adequately served by essential
public facilities and services.
Staff Comments: The site has all existing utilities and services. No changes to public
services or facilities are proposed.
33
Item 6.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES June 07, 2022
Planning Commission Page 7
(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.
Staff Comments: The site is served by existing traffic circulation. The site can be
accessed from the north, west, or south; this is an existing condition. Staff is not
recommending any changes to the on-site traffic circulation. Traffic congestion on the
public streets is not expected to be a concern. The site and area have been designed to
accommodate traffic at this location.
(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.
Staff Comments: This is correct. The brew pub is not expected to cause a negative
cumulative effect on the area.
(i) The use complies with all other applicable regulations for the district in which it is
located.
Staff Comments: In review of the site plan, Staff believes that the use complies with all
other applicable regulations for the district it is located in.
Specific Development Standards: Section 9.107(C)(53) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines
eight specific requirements for a brew pub. These requirements are reviewed below:
(a) All malt liquor production shall be within a completely enclosed structure.
Staff Comments: In review of the applicant’s site plan, they are compliant with this
requirement.
(b) Mechanical equipment shall be placed and/or screened so as to minimize the visual
impact on adjacent properties and from public streets.
Staff Comments: The applicant is not proposing to locate any new mechanical
equipment on the outside of the building at this time. As a condition of approval, any
new mechanical equipment this is installed at a later date will have to adhere to the
screening requirements of the District.
(c) In zoning districts where off-street parking is required, a transportation management
plan shall be submitted to address off-street parking, bus and freight loading, and
traffic control.
Staff Comments: No parking requirement is needed at this site. The existing site has
many parking spaces and a transit hub on-site.
(d) Loading areas shall not be oriented toward a public street, nor shall loading docks be
located on the side of any building facing an adjacent lot that is zoned residential.
Where these districts or streets abut all sides of the property, the loading areas shall be
screened by a solid wall or opaque fence with a minimum height of si x feet, in addition
to any required landscape buffer.
34
Item 6.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES June 07, 2022
Planning Commission Page 8
Staff Comments: The loading area for this site is on the east side of the building. This is
an existing condition from the original site plans and predates the residential uses to the
east. The applicant is proposing to continue to use this side of the building for deliveries.
(e) Trash and/or recycling collection areas shall be enclosed on at least three sides by an
opaque screening wall or fence no less than six feet in height. The open side of the
enclosure shall not face any public street or the front yard of any adjacent property.
Staff Comments: As a condition of approval, the applicant shall meet this requirement.
The applicant shall submit drawings of the trash enclosure for City Staff review.
(f) By-products and waste from the production of malt liquor shall be properly disposed of
off the property.
Staff Comments: As a condition of approval, the applicant shall submit a narrative on
how they plan to dispose of the by-products from the malt liquor production.
(g) The premises, all adjacent streets, sidewalks and alleys, and all sidewalks and alleys
within 100 feet of the use shall be inspected regularly for the purposes of removing
litter found thereon.
Staff Comments: This will be a condition of approval.
(h) The facility shall meet all applicable building and fire codes, and shall be licensed as
required by the state or county.
Staff Comments: This will be a condition of approval.
Malt Liquor License: As part of the process, the applicant will be required to apply for the
appropriate alcohol licenses. Based on the narrative submitted to the City, they will need
to obtain both an On-Sale Brew Pub license for the on-site consumption and sale of malt
liquor per City Code Section 5.503, and an On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor license for the on-
site consumption and sale of alcoholic cocktails per City Code Section 5.505. This process
will be completed separately from the Conditional Use Permit application. By City Code,
the licenses must be obtained prior to the business’s sale and service of alcohol.
Recommendation: In review of the applicant’s site plan, application, and other relevant
materials, Staff finds the request for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a brew pub to be
a reasonable request that will not negatively impact the health, safety, or welfare of the
City, its residents, and property owners. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission
recommend that the City Council approve the conditional use permit as present, subject to
the conditions of approval outlined in the resolution.
Kaiser stated he was happy that Staff recommended adding bike parking there and asked
about why the project was delayed. Hark said that it was due to the pandemic and in early
2020, the project was proposed as an arcade and a brew pub, and it has now been revised
to not include the arcade. She added that the applicant was not charged another fee for
renewal, but Staff felt it was appropriate to go through the approval process again.
35
Item 6.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES June 07, 2022
Planning Commission Page 9
Kaiser asked if this plan proposed is the same square footage since the arcade is was
removed. Hark stated she didn’t believe so.
Hoium asked if they will be submitting for a liquor license. Hark stated they are required to
do so; they need two licenses, one for the brew pub and another for serving craft cocktails.
Hoium stated that the intoxicating liquor license was new from the previous application.
Hark replied that this is the case and Staff changed the liquor licensing rules for the City so
that licensees that hold intoxicating liquor licenses must sell fifty-five percent food in order
to sell liquor, which may change their mind. She added that the malt liquor licenses do not
have any food requirements attached to it.
Sahnow asked about the capacity that they will brew, and also if any of the recent state
liquor law changes impact them at all. Hark stated she didn’t believe any of the changes
would impact them negatively, it may only make it easier for them to operate and
generally, the city takes precedent as long as they are complying with what the state has
set forth. She added that as far as capacity, they are required to brew on site, and it is a
smaller capacity.
Sahnow asked if they would be allowed to sell growlers. Hark replied she believed so.
Deneen asked if the fifty-five percent food applied to growlers. Hark stated she believed it
applied to growlers and would have to look into if a third license would be required for the
sale of these.
Sahnow asked if they have a scheduled timeline on construction and occupancy. Hark
stated she was not sure, but this came to Staff’s attention because a few permits were
pulled, which also prompted them to initiate the CUP process again.
Deneen asked if the applicant is required to submit a construction plan as on how they will
not impact other business parking. Hark stated they are not required to submit a plan, and
that it would be worked out with the landlord instead.
Vargas stated that there is going to be a lot of pressurized work done with gases, in
conjunction with when the fireworks stand is going to be there. Hark said that there is a
distance between them, the contractor should be aware of that, and the fireworks sales
are only about two weeks.
Sahnow opened the public hearing.
No one wished to speak.
Motion by Hoium, seconded by Kaiser, to close the public hearing and waive the reading of
the draft resolution attached, there being ample copies available to the public. All ayes.
MOTION PASSED.
Motion by Kaiser, seconded by Hoium, to recommend that the Planning Commission
36
Item 6.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES June 07, 2022
Planning Commission Page 10
recommend to the City Council approval of the Conditional Use Permit as presented, subject
to the conditions stated in the draft resolution. All ayes. MOTION PASSED.
OTHER BUSINESS
Hark stated that they received a third application, but the application was deemed incomplete. She
stated that if the completed application is received soon, there will be a meeting scheduled in July
2022, otherwise there isn’t any other pending projects, so the next meeting would take place in August
2022.
Hark stated they are still waiting on the “Rainbow Site” to start their public engagement process and
show their plans, which when ready, will then be brought to the Planning Commission for viewing and
feedback.
Hoium asked about the project behind the Public Safety Building. Hark stated they are working on the
sale of the city land, and they have resubmitted their building plan review; they are still hoping to
break ground this summer.
Hoium asked about SACA and Hark replied that she has not heard from SACA in a while.
Kaiser asked about the occupancy date of the new city hall. Hark stated that there is a delay in some
mechanical equipment so it is tentatively planned for winter or possible spring, however, the
apartments should be ready by the end of the year.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Vargas, seconded by Novitsky, to adjourn the meeting at 6:29 pm. All ayes. MOTION
PASSED.

BACKGROUND: Staff has discussed and recently reviewed the rental fees, damage deposit, and policies for John P.
Murzyn Hall. The last several years have highly impacted the building with more repairs and cleanup from large events.
Operational costs have significantly increased with utility costs rising and HVAC repairs becoming very expensive.
Additionally, the recent city compensation study resulted in a significant increase to our custodial wages.
All these items combined have resulted in staff recommending fees be increased significantly to cover all the operating
costs. Staff also feels some of the policies need to be redefined to reduce liability and wear and tear on the building.
At the Park & Recreation Commission Meeting from July 27, 2022, the following items were passed. These items are
recommended to take effect immediately for any new rentals.
1. All rentals of 50 or more people must use the Lions Club for Bar Service (current policy is over 200 people must
use the Lions Bar).
2. Increase damage deposit from $500 to $800.
3. Renters lose all damage deposit if attendance is 50 or more people over the disclosed amount.
4. Rental Rates – Have a weekend rate for Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Have a weekday rate for Mondays –
Thursdays. Residents will still receive a 25% discount on rentals.

MEETING DATE 08/08/2022
ITEM: First Reading of Ordinance 1678, Establishing a Single-Family Rental Moratorium
DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Mitchell Forney 7/19/2022
CITY STRATEGY:
_Safe Community _Diverse, Welcoming “Small-Town” Feel
_Economic Strength XExcellent Housing/Neighborhoods
XEquity and Affordability _Strong Infrastructure/Public Services
_Opportunities for Play and Learning _Engaged, Multi-Generational, Multi-Cultural Population
BACKGROUND:
During the August 1st work session, the city council discussed the form and substance of Ordinance 1678, an
interim ordinance, which places a moratorium on new single family home rentals. This moratorium came
about to afford staff the time and space to establish a single-family rental density cap for consideration by the
council. The establishment of the cap requires new processes and studies to efficiently create and regulate
single family rentals.
The City Council originally began the rental density cap discussion after bringing up worries regarding single -
family home conversions to rental properties. Most of all, the City Council is concerned that it has become
increasingly difficult for potential home buyers wishing to purchase property in the City to identify financially
attainable options. Many such options are quickly purchased by remote corporate entities or landlords an d
converted to rental properties. Further, the City is concerned that the overall number of rental properties in
the City has increased at an unsustainable rate. In addition, the City is aware of possible shortcomings within
City Code relating to provisions governing rental licenses and property maintenance and would like to be more
proactive in securing compliance for the health, safety, and welfare of City residents generally.
To establish an interim ordinance, state statute requires the City to establis h clear goals and a plan of action.
This is presented in the sample ordinance as a set of studies that will assist the City in reaching its goals. The
interim ordinance can be put in place for 12 months or until the following goals have been completed and any
resulting changes to the City’s ordinances have been made. First, City staff will determine the current makeup
and status of the rental housing stock within the City. Second, staff shall determine the effect and feasibility of
creating a rental density cap on single family residences. Last, staff will consider whether the City has sufficient
staffing and resources to enforce the rental density cap.
The establishment of the moratorium affects the receipt, processing, or approval of any new rental licen se for
a single-family residential structure. It does not include such residences as townhomes, duplex’s, apartments,
cooperatives, or condominiums. Applications for the renewal of existing rental licenses are exempt, and any
complete license submitted before the enaction of the ordinance will continue with the normal process. Any
application submitted and received prior to the passage of the ordinance but deemed incomplete by the City,
81
Item 12.
City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2
shall be returned to the applicant, along with the application fee, and if not resubmitted before the passage of
the ordinance, no resubmission of such application shall be accepted during the moratorium.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to close the public hearing and waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1678, there being ample
copies available to the public.
MOTION: Move to set the second reading of Ordinance No. 1678, being an interim ordinance establishing a
moratorium within the city on new rental license applications for single family homes, for August 22, 2022,
at approximately 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers.

The City of Columbia Heights does herby ordain:
(a) Preamble
The City of Columbia Heights (“City”) is concerned that it has become increasingly difficult f or potential
home buyers wishing to purchase property in the City to identify financially attainable options. Many
such options are quickly purchased by remote corporate entities and converted to rental properties.
Further, the City is concerned that the overall number of rental properties in the City has increased at
an unsustainable rate. In addition, the City is aware of possible shortcomings within City Code relating
to provisions governing rental licenses and property maintenance and would like to be more proactive
in securing compliance for the health, safety, and welfare of City residents generally.
The City Council finds it necessary to conduct studies to: (1) determine the current makeup and status
of the rental housing stock within the City; (2) determine the effect and feasibility of creating a rental
density cap on single family residences; (3) consider whether the city has sufficient staffing, resources,
and processes to establish and maintain a rental density cap.
Upon completion of the foregoing studies, the City will consider the options for amendments to City
Code in order to maintain and increase the inventory of attainable homes available for purchase by
current and prospective City residents, and deal with the unsustainable increase in properties
constructed as or converted to rental housing, and whether City Code changes can address that
ongoing issue.
(b) Moratorium Established; Scope
(1) In accordance with the above and pursuant to authority granted by Minn. Stat. § 462.355, subd . 4,
the City hereby establishes a moratorium on the receipt, processing, or approval of any new rental
license for a single-family residential structure. It does not include such residences as townhomes,
duplex’s, apartments, cooperatives, or condominiums.
(2) The moratorium shall not apply to: (a) any complete rental license application submitted to the City
on or before August 22, 2022; (b) any application for renewal of an existing rental license; (c) any
application already approved or in the process of approval by the City:
Any application submitted and received prior to August 22, 2022, but deemed incomplete by the
City, shall be returned to the applicant, along with the application fee, and no resubmi ssion of such
application shall be accepted during the moratorium. The City may make exception for an y

ITEM: First Reading of Ordinance 1679, Establishing a Moratorium on the Production and Sale of
Edible Cannabinoid Products Containing Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Mitchell Forney 08/03/2022
CITY STRATEGY:

BACKGROUND:
At the August 1st City Council work session Community Development staff brought forth for discussion draft
ordinance 1679. An Interim Ordinance that would place a moratorium on the production and sale of edible
cannabinoid products containing Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Community development staff has brought
forth the official ordinance for the council’s consideration along with answers to the questions raised by the
council on August 1st.
The revised ordinance 1679 is slightly different than the draft ordinance presented at the work session. The
official ordinance changes the language defining the prohibited products from: “hemp derived
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) food and beverages” to: “edible cannabinoid products containing
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)”. This was altered due to the State amendment in 2022, (Chapter 98, Article 13
section 1) which declares that edible cannabinoids are not considered food. By altering the definition, the City
ensures all edible cannabinoid products containing THC are affected by the moratorium.
As stated previously, towards the end of the 2022 legislative session, the State of Minnesota passed a law
amending state statute which legalized the sale of edible cannabinoids derived from hemp to people ages 21
and older. On July 1, 2022, this law came into effect leaving many local and state government agencies
scrambling due to the lack of state regulation and oversight. Attachment #2 summarizes the potency, testing,
and labeling requirements that have been put in place . In response, the League of MN cities has published its
guidance in the form of a Frequently Asked Questions page (Attachment #3) and continues to work on
understanding how the new statute affects cities.
Regulation and enforcement of the new law falls on the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy. It is important to note
that the regulations in Attachment 2 are not proactively enforced. Packaging and laboratory reports are not
required to be submitted to the board , but only required if the Board of Pharmacy requests them. The
Minnesota Board of Pharmacy is not proactively requesting them but will review the testing if it receives a
complaint. Due to the ambiguous nature of the Statute, there are a lot of questions at all levels regarding the
ongoing enforcement of the new regulations.
86
Item 13.
City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2
At the time of the August 1, Council work session, four cities had enacted emergency or interim ordinances
placing moratoriums on the sale and production of edible cannabinoids . Since that meeting, West St. Paul,
Roseville, Maple Grove, and Edina have all began the ordinance process of establishing a moratorium.
As part of the discussion of how the city should respond to the new state law, staff have created a draft
moratorium similar to those recently adopted by other cities. With or without a moratorium there are quite a
few questions the City will face in regard to the production and sale of edible cannabinoid products containing
THC. Posted in attachment #4 is a compilation of some of the questions the City faces. While all these
questions may not be answered at this meeting it is important to begin the discussion of these items.
Attached is draft ordinance 1679. This ordinance would establish a moratorium on the expansion of sales and
manufacturing of edible cannabinoid products containing THC. State Statute 462.355 regulates the application
and use of interim ordinances by the City. To ensure compliance with 462.355 the draft ordinance clearly
outlines the goals and purpose for the prohibition of edible cannabinoid products containing THC. As stated in
the preamble the purpose of the moratorium is to limit the expansion of these sales until the city can study,
discuss, and craft a response to the new law. A well -rounded response will include changes to the code of
ordinances in the form of zoning, licensing, enforcement, and other related processes and procedures. Under
draft Ordinance 1679, businesses that are selling or producing edible cannabinoid products containing THC
prior to the establishment of the moratorium, will still be allowed to do so during the moratorium. This draft
ordinance does nothing to effect legal, medicinal CBD operations.
Staff recommend moving forward with the establishment of a temporary moratorium on the discussed items.
As shown in the compilation of questions, there are a lot of unknowns that need to be addressed by the City.
Establishing a moratorium will also afford the City the opportunity to work with the League of MN Cities in
clarifying the City’s role.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to close the public hearing and waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1679, there being ample
copies available to the public.
MOTION: Move to set the second reading of Ordinance No. 167 9, being an interim ordinance establishing a
moratorium on the production and sale of edible cannabinoid products containing tetrahydrocannabinol
(THC), for August 22, 2022, at approximately 6:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers.

ORDINANCE NO. 1679
BEING AN INTERIM ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A MORATORIUM ON THE PRODUCTION AND SALE OF
EDIBLE CANNABINOID PRODUCTS CONTAINING TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL (THC) WITHIN THE CITY OF
COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
The City of Columbia Heights does herby ordain:
(a) Preamble
The City of Columbia Heights (“City”) recognizes the significant public interest in new amendments to
chapter 151 and 152 of Minnesota State Statute. These laws took effect July 1, 2022 and make it legal
to sell edible products that contain certain amounts of hemp derived tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
Further, the application of the new law has demonstrated a clear shortcoming of behalf of the City and
the City’s code. For example, the City’s code of ordinances lacks any regulations in the form of, zoning,
sales, testing, manufacturing, and distribution of THC containing products. Specifically, regulations
similar to those on other products such as alcohol or tobacco. The City is concerned that without a
temporary moratorium, new businesses and uses will expand significantly prior to the establishment of
necessary safety regulations and procedures.
Overall, the City Council finds it necessary to conduct an in-depth study of and effectuate changes to,
the City’s Code of Ordinances. Changes that would regulate, enforce, and or license the sales, testing,
manufacturing, and distribution of edible cannabinoid products containing THC.
Upon completion of the foregoing study and the resulting changes that will be established, the City will
revoke the interim ordinance and enforce the newly adopted regulations and procedures.
(b) Moratorium Established; Scope
(1) In accordance with the above and pursuant to authority granted by Minn. Stat. § 462.355, the City
hereby establishes a moratorium on the production and sale edible cannabinoid products
containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) within the City of Columbia Heights.
(2) During the effective period of this interim ordinance, the City of Columbia Heights will prohibit the
production and sale edible cannabinoid products containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) pending
the completion of the above referenced study and the adoption of appropriate official controls.
(3) The moratorium shall not apply to preexisting businesses selling or producing edible cannabinoid
products containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) before the effective date of this ordinance.
(c) Enforcement
Any person, corporation, or other entity found to be in violation of this Ordinance
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. The City may enforce this Ordinance by
mandamus, injunction, or other appropriate criminal or civil remedy in any court
of competent jurisdiction.

BACKGROUND:
In 2018, the owner of 3821 Reservoir Boulevard received a building permit for a garage and driveway/ parking
area served off the alley. In April of 2019, Public Works was made aware of a large excavation of the entire
rear of the property, and completely lacking any erosion con trol or soil containment measures. Staff
subsequently contacted the Inspections Department to advise of the condition of the property and review the
status of any permits on the property. On May 6th, 2019 the building permit expired for the property. Later
that month, the Fire Department conducted a property inspection of the property and issued correction
orders. In June, Public Works also sent a letter to the property owner regarding erosion control measure
corrections. A re-inspection was conducted at the end of June 2019, with several items not addressed by the
property owner. Staff both spoke with and met with the property owner at the end of June 2019 to review the
site, and offered options for correcting the site. In August of 2019, the property owner submitted a new
building permit application. Following a Fire Department follow-up inspection in September of 2019, a large
concrete slab had been placed on the site, along with additional excavation creating nearly vertical
unprotected slopes close to 8 feet in height. In October of 2019, another Fire Department inspection found
several property maintenance violations on the site. Due to the condition of the site, Public Works performed
an emergency abatement in November of 2019 for temporary erosion cont rol measures. In February of 2020,
the second building permit expired. In June of 2020, additional erosion control measures were placed by
Public Works under a second emergency abatement.
Staff has met with the property owner previously, but the property owner has not conducted or completed
any further activity on the site. Attached are photos of the site, indicating a vertical height safety condition
along with significant erosion potential. Staff has explored options to address a permanent solution for t he
site. In 2020, a permanent solution of retaining walls ranged in cost from $65,000 to $90,000, a semi-
permanent erosion control such as leaving the excavation as is and applying shotcrete was, at that time,
estimated to cost up to $30,000. Based on feedback from the September 2020 work session, the least costly
option of simply removing the vertical slope and regrading the property to establish mowable slopes is the
preferred approach, estimated at that time to cost in the range of $12,000 to $20,000.
On staff’s recommendation, the City Council tabled the matter on 10/26/2020 until May 2021 as the property
owner had made progress towards compliance.
105
Item 14.
City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2
Staff contacted the homeowner in the Spring of 2020 and additional compliance was noted but not
completed.
A review of outstanding violations noted that the project had not made progress in the next year and all
permits related to the project were expired.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution 2022-69, 2022, being declarations of nuisance and abatement of violations within the City of
Columbia Heights regarding property at:
3821 Reservoir Blvd NE
for ordinance violations pursuant to City Code.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to close the public hearing and to waive the reading of Resolution 2022-069, there being
ample copies available to the public.
MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution Number 2022-69, being resolution of the City Council of the City of

BACKGROUND:
In June of 2021, following a complaint to the city, several departments met at the property and found
violations of city code. City staff from Engineering, Community Development, Building and Fire Department
met with the Owner of Record several times to assist him with understanding what is required for compliance.
The Owner of Record has taken small steps toward compliance by installing erosion control measures and
working on a permit for the rain garden. However, the property Owner has not made significant progress
towards completion.
A review of outstanding violations by all departments involved has determined that significant progress
towards correction of the code violations listed in the initial comp liance orders has not taken place.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution 2022-070, being declarations of nuisance and abatement of violations within the City of
Columbia Heights regarding property at:
4224 2nd St NE

BACKGROUND:
A property owned by Clifton Properties LLC was found vacant and unsecured by the Fire Department and
Building Official in September of 2020. There were unpermitted renovations taking place within the property
and the Building Official issued a stop work or der. The conditions of the property were such that the Building
Official revoked the property’s Occupancy Permit. Correction orders to secure the vacant property and board
it up were sent to the Owner of Record. A copy of the orders were also posted on the property. The Owner of
Record has made no effort to comply with the compliance orders, even after two verbal conversations with a
Property Representative, Jay Rassman, on the matter. Following the police department response to
complaints of people illegally inhabiting the property, the Fire Department obtained a search warrant and
performed an emergency abatement to board up the property. Nuisance abatements for outside storage and
long grass/scrub growth were also performed on the property. The property is now secure and posted as
Condemned/Unlawful to Occupy and the Fire Department will continue to monitor it regularly for security and
property maintenance violations.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AGENDA SECTION ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
MEETING DATE AUGUST 8, 2022
ITEM: First Reading of Zoning Ordinance 1680 (Map Amendment) Rezoning of Property
DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Aaron Chirpich – 8/4/22
CITY STRATEGY: (please indicate areas that apply by adding a bold “X” in front of the selected text below)
_Safe Community _Diverse, Welcoming “Small-Town” Feel
_Economic Strength _Excellent Housing/Neighborhoods
_Equity and Affordability X Strong Infrastructure/Public Services
_Opportunities for Play and Learning _Engaged, Multi-Generational, Multi-Cultural Population
BACKGROUND:
The City of Columbia Heights has initiated the rezoning of its three municipal liquor store sites from GB,
General Business to PO, Public and Open Space.
Specifically, the rezoning of the following properties is proposed:
Top Valu Liquor Store #1 located at 4950 Central Avenue NE
Top Valu Liquor Store #2 located at 2107 37th Avenue NE
Top Valu Liquor Store #3 located at 5225 & 5233 University Avenue NE
The intent of the rezoning request is to apply zoning designations to the three liquor store sites which reflect
their ongoing “public use.” The PO District specifically references “publicly owned and operated facilities” as a
permitted use. To be noted is that the City’s parks, and other municipal building sites (including City Hall,
Murzyn Hall, the Library, and Public Works building) were similarly rezoned to PO, Public Open Space in 2008.
ISSUES AND ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan
All three liquor store sites are guided for “commercial use” by the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
No changes in land use are proposed as a result of the proposed rezoning. In this regard, the existing
municipal liquor store uses will remain intact. Thus, the existing land uses are consist ent with the directives of
the City’s Comprehensive Plan which directs commercial uses upon the various sites.
Lot Requirements
In consideration of the proposed zoning changes, it is worthwhile to examine the minimum lot requirements
imposed in the PO zoning district to determine whether the rezoning action will result in the creation of non-
conforming lot and/or setback conditions.
118
Item 17.
City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2
For comparative purposes, the following table provides a comparison of minimum lot requirements imposed
in the GB, General Business District and PO, Public and Open Space District:
General Business District Public and Open Space District
Lot Area 6,000 square feet None
Lot Width 40 feet None
Building Setbacks
Front Yard 15 feet 25 feet
Side Yard (interior) None 5 feet
Side Yard (corner) None 10 feet
Rear yard 15 feet 20 % of lot depth
Parking Setbacks
Front Yard 15 feet 5 feet
Side Yard (interior) 5 feet 3 feet
Side Yard (corner) 15 feet 3 feet
Rear yard 5 feet 3 feet
Maximum Height 35 feet None
While the lot area, width and parking setback requirements in the PO District are less restrictive than those
imposed in the GB District, the building setback requirements in the PO District are more restrictive.
Both Liquor Store # 2 and Liquor Store #3 presently overlay two parcels of land and are occupied by buildings
which are bisected by side property lines. As a result, the buildings do not meet the minimum 5-foot side yard
setback requirement which is imposed in the PO District. To eliminate this issue, it is recommended that the
two parcels which comprise each site be combined.
Liquor Store # 2 exhibits a lot depth of 260 feet which, under PO District zoning, would result in a minimum
rear yard setback requirement of 52 feet. Wit h a rear yard setback of 28 feet, the existing building does not
meet the rear yard setback requirement imposed in the PO District.
Liquor Store #3 exhibits a lot depth of 128 feet which, under PO District zoning, would result in a minimum
rear yard setback requirement of 26 feet. With a rear yard setback of 10 feet, the existing building does not
meet the yard setback requirements imposed in either the GB or PO Districts. The existing setback was
however, legally established and therefore holds grandfather rights. Any new construction on the site would
be subject to PO District development standards.
Lot Combinations
As previously indicated, it is recommended that the two underlying parcels which comprise the Liquor Store
#2 site and the Liquor Store #3 site, as described below, be legally combined.
Top Valu Liquor Store #2
2105 37th Avenue NE (PID’s 36-30-24-44-0025 & 36-30-24-44-0026)
Top Valu Liquor Store #3
5225 University Avenue NE and 5233 University Avenue NE
(PID’s 26-30-24-21-0093 & 26-30-24-21-0094) 119
Item 17.
City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 3
To be noted is that the lot combination action is considered independent of the rezoning action now under
consideration.
Dynamic LED Sign Requirements
The rezoning of these properties is also prompted by the City’s desire to install a d ynamic LED sign on an
existing pylon sign at Liquor Store #3. While independent of the rezoning action, it is important to note that
the proposed rezoning would result in a change to the dynamic LED sign requirements which would apply to
all three liquor store sites.
As mentioned, the current zoning classification for all municipal liquor stores is GB, General Business. Within
the GB District, dynamic LED signs are permitted as a conditional use on monument signs only. In contrast,
dynamic LED signs located within the PO, Public and Open Space District are allowed to be placed on pylon
signs. Therefore, the proposed rezoning would allow Liquor Store #3 to install a dynamic LED sign on its
current pylon sign. City Code provides more flexibility for dyn amic LED signs on public sites because such
signage can be used to convey messages of general importance citywide rather than simply advertising.
FINDINGS OF FACT - ZONING ORDINANCE (MAP) AMENDMENT
Section 9.104 (F) of the Columbia Heights Zoning Code requires that the City Council make each of the
following four findings before approving a zoning amendment:
1. The amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides the three municipal liquor store sites for “commercial” use.
No changes in use are proposed as a result of the rezoning. Thus, the proposed zoning change is
consistent with the land use directives of the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
2. The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a single property owner.
The City of Columbia Heights owns all parcels which are affected by the proposed zoning amendment.
The proposed rezoning of the City’s municipal liquor sites is consistent with previous City actions
involving the rezoning of other City owned public uses from a variety of zoning designations to PO,
Public and Open Space.
3. Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, the existing use
of the property and the zoning classification of property within the general area of the property in
question are compatible with the proposed zoning classification.
All three liquor store sites are located within commercially zoned areas of the City. The proposed
zoning amendment will not result in any land use changes. In this regard, the existing and future land
uses are considered compatible with surrounding uses.
4. Where the amendment is to change the zoning classification of a particular property, there has been
a change in the character or trend of development in the general area of the property in question,
which has taken place since such property was placed in the current zoning classification.
120
Item 17.
City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 4
The City’s PO, Public and Open Space zoning district was created in 2008 for the purpose of creating a
district which allows areas of the City to be retained and utilized for, public uses, open space and to
provide a holding zone for future development.
While most public uses in the City were subsequently rezoned to PO, Public and Open S pace
designations in 2008, the City’s municipal liquor store sites were not. The proposed zoning change
represents a consistent application of the PO zoning district throughout the City.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff review finds that the proposed rezoning application meets all the requirements of the City Code. On
August 3, 2022, the Planning Commission voted 3-1 (three members absent) to recommend approval to the
City Council on this matter. Staff recommends that the City Council approve Ordinance No.1680 as presented
on first consideration, and set the date for the second reading.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1680 there being ample copies available to the
public.
MOTION: Move to set the second reading of Ordinance No. 1680, being a zoning ordinance (map)
amendment pertaining to the rezoning of the City’s municipal liquor store sites from GB, General Business
to PO, Public and Open Space, for August 22, 2022, at approximately 6:00 p.m. in the City Council
Chambers.
