PROCLAMATION
Oromo Week: August 1-9, 2026
The City of Columbia Heights is proud to recognize and celebrate the vibrant Oromo
community, whose members have enriched our city and the Twin Cities region through
their resilience, culture, leadership, and commitment to building strong communities.
More than 45,000 Oromo people, many of whom arrived in Minnesota as refugees and
asylees from the Oromia Region of Ethiopia, now call the Twin Cities home. They have
contributed to the economic, cultural, and civic life of our region while preserving a rich
heritage that continues to inspire future generations.
This year marks the 30th Anniversary of the Oromo Sports Federation in North
America (OSFNA), honoring three decades of bringing people together through sports,
culture, youth empowerment, and community leadership. Throughout the week of
August 1–9, visitors from across North America and around the world will gather in
Minnesota for athletic competitions, youth conferences, business and economic forums,
human rights discussions, and cultural celebrations that showcase the strength and
diversity of the Oromo community.
Columbia Heights is honored to join our neighboring cities—including Minneapolis,
Brooklyn Park, and Saint Paul—in welcoming these visitors and celebrating the lasting
contributions of our Oromo neighbors.
As Mayor of Columbia Heights, it is my honor to proclaim August 1–9, 2026, as
Oromo Week.
May we continue to celebrate one another, honor the many contributions of our Oromo
neighbors, and build a city where everyone belongs.
Proclaimed this 10th day of August 2026.

achievements, service, and contributions of older adults to their families,
communities, and country.
Older residents have helped shape Columbia Heights through their work,
caregiving, service, leadership, creativity, and commitment to neighbors across
generations.
Senior citizens strengthen our community by sharing wisdom and lived experience,
supporting families, volunteering, participating in civic life, and helping preserve
the stories and traditions that give Columbia Heights its sense of place.
The City of Columbia Heights values a community where people can age with
dignity, stay connected, participate fully, and find welcoming public spaces,
services, and relationships that support independence and belonging.
As Mayor of Columbia Heights, it is my honor to proclaim August 21, 2026, as Senior
Citizen Day.
May we continue to celebrate one another, honor the many contributions of our senior
citizen neighbors, and build a city where everyone belongs.

10

wondered if switching the side of the road cars could park on would solve the issue. She added that
there is not much bicycle parking and suggested including additional bicycle parking.
Fatemeh Raboodan, Business Owner, expressed concern about parking enforcement in the business
district on Central Avenue between 39th Avenue NE and 40th Avenue NE. Police will surveil the area,

BUSINESS ITEMS
5. Façade Improvement Grant Report for 37th & Johnson Hair & Tanning Salon (Lan Salon LLC).
(pg. 39)
Voight stated the report pertains to the 2026 Façade Improvement Grant application for 37th &
Johnson Hair & Tanning Salon (Lan Salon LLC), located at 1529 37th Ave NE. The building and
business owner has owned the building since 2001. They are applying for grant funds to furnish and
install new signage on the south-facing exterior wall. Photos of the existing conditions and
renderings of the proposal have been included in the agenda packet.
Voight noted that the applicant was able to receive two bids for the work, amounting to
approximately $1,420 plus tax (Mathey Sign) and $4,433.79 (SignArt). This sets them up for a grant
amount of $2,216.89. Community Development staff recommend funding th is project in full as the
existing signage is rusty and weathered and would benefit from a refresh. This is the fifth Façade
Improvement Grant application in 2026. If this Façade Improvement Grant were to be approved, it
would leave $24,761.93 remaining in the annual program budget.

6. Façade Improvement Grant Report for One Reason (4065 Central Ave NE). (pg. 55)
Forney stated that the report pertains to the 2026 Façade Improvement Grant application for One
Reason (4065 Central Ave NE). The tenant, a dance studio and church, was previously at a different
location in Columbia Heights and is moving into this location to benefit from a larger and more
suitable venue. They are applying for grant funds to furnish and install new storefront signage on
the exterior façades. Photos of the existing conditions and renderings of the proposal have been
included in the agenda packet.

Item 3.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES July 06, 2026
Economic Development Authority Page 5
Forney noted that the applicant was able to receive three bids for the work, amounting to
approximately $12,000 (BMS), $12,275 (Mathey Sign), and up to $17,510 (North Star Sign). This
sets them up for a grant amount of $6,000. Community Development staff recommend funding this
project in full as the new signage will reflect the new occupancy and attract customers. This is the
sixth Façade Improvement Grant application in 2026. If this Façade Improvement Grant were to be
approved, it would leave $18,761.93 remaining in the annual program budget.
Questions/Comments from Members:
Deneen asked if the City had a history of providing façade improvement grants for non -profit
organizations. Forney replied that the City does not have a history of providing grants for façade
improvements for non-profits.
Buesgens asked if there were rules about non -profits in the City’s Ordinance and the grant program
guidelines.
Deneen pointed out that non-profits are tax-exempt, and the grant program would be taxpayers'
money giving money towards organizations that partially do not pay taxes.
Voight reviewed grantees since 2018 and noted that there have not been non-profits that have
received the grant. The local VFW received two façade improvement grants. Forney added that the
City allows 501(c)(3) organizations to apply for the grant, as specified in the grant program
guidelines.

7. Fire Suppression Grant Application 4065 Central Ave NE (One Reason). (pg. 85)
Forney reported that in 2022, the EDA created the Fire Suppression Grant Program to assist local
businesses with the expenses incurred when installing fire suppression systems within commercial
buildings. Many of the commercial properties in Columbia Heights do not have fire suppression
systems. Certain businesses and changes of use require the addition of fire suppression systems to
existing buildings. The price of adding fire suppression systems is often cost prohibitive for small
businesses.
Forney explained that the tenant of the property at 4065 Central Ave NE, One Reason, has
submitted an application for this grant program. The tenant is currently working to relocate their
21
Item 3.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES July 06, 2026
Economic Development Authority Page 7
church and dance studio from a different location in Columbia Heights. As part of this relocation,
the tenant is planning to update the existing fire suppression system.
Forney added that the applicant has provided two quotes for the proposed work. One bid amounts
to $27,214 (Summit) and one amounts to $8,200 (Pye-Barker). The quotes have been included in
the meeting packet. Based on these estimates, the project would be eligible to receive a maximum
grant award of $4,100. In the 2026 budgeting process, the EDA allocated $100,000 to the Fire
Suppression Grant program, of which $50,268.50 remains. This is the third Fire Suppression Grant
application in 2026.
Questions/Comments from Members:
Spriggs asked why there was a large difference in the two quotes. Forney replied that one of the
bids was higher because there was a larger scope of work. The applicant determined that the larger
scope of work was not necessary.
Deneen asked if the same requirements for 501(c)(3)s applied for the fire suppression grant.
Forney agreed.

8. EDA Commissioner Appointment Process. (pg. 106)
Voight stated that following the resignation of EDA Commissioner Lamin Dibba, staff have worked
with the City Clerk to prepare for the appointment of a new commissioner. Pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes 469.095, Subd. 2 (c), commissioners “shall be appointed by the mayor with the approval of
the city council.” Furthermore, in accordance with MN Statutes 469.095, Subd. 2 (f), the vacancy
“must be filled for the balance of the unexpired term, in the manner in which the original
appointment was made.” The City Code erroneously states that it is possible to begin a new six-
year term, but this statement is in conflict with Minnesota Statutes; the Statutes take precedence
in these circumstances.
Voight noted that the new commissioner will serve for the remainder of Commissioner Dibba’s
original six-year term, through December 2029. This also means that the candidates will need to be
interviewed by the City Council during a work session, then appointed by the mayor.
Voight explained that the application period for candidates opened on July 1st and will remain
open through July 15th. After the application period has closed, Community Development staff and
the City Clerk will work together to schedule interviews for eligible candidates. Staff recommends
that the EDA reschedule its August meeting to 4:30 pm. on Monday, August 3 rd. This change will
allow the City Council and mayor to conduct candidate interviews in a special session immediately
following that EDA meeting, ahead of the regularly scheduled 6:00 pm. Council work session. The
selected candidate will then be appointed via resolution at a regular City Council meeting later in
August.
Questions/Comments from Members:

Item 3.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES July 06, 2026

Buesgens asked if anyone had applied yet. Voight replied that no one has applied for the position
yet.
Buesgens suggested that there be an interview question about how connected and active the
applicant is to surrounding businesses.
The Commissioners agreed to move the August 3rd EDA meeting to 4:30 pm.
BUSINESS UPDATES
Voight provided an update on the microloan program. Staff will meet with MCCD tomorrow to go over
the state of where the applications are in the process. There have been nine loans originated thus far,
and nine that are in the process but have not been ori ginated yet. The nine that have been originated
so far equate to $87,540. The EDA approved $300,000 for the grant program.
Buesgens inquired about the Medtronic site. Forney replied that staff would have an update during the
next meeting.
Forney provided an update on the NOAH program. The City received initial inspection report s for two
loans. Voight added that one loan has been originated, and one has completed its prioritization
inspection and is getting quotes finalized. There are two loans in process, and one is in the initial steps
to start the process. She mentioned that the apartment building that is in the process is interested in
doing roof work.
Forney stated the City received the 2026 Local Affordable Housing Aid Certification and will be
receiving an additional $403,000 for Fund 205.
Buesgens asked if there could be a way to track the work that is being done through the NOAH
program funds. Voight replied that staff have not established any specific tracking system yet, but
would be able to create one. She added that there will soon be a map on the City website to show
where all of the façade improvement grants have been across the City.
Forney noted that the Community Development Department has opened up the application period for
a Community Development Intern. The intern will assist with the business outreach and Highway 65
this fall. Staff will have a meeting with Partners in Energy about energy efficiency upgrades.
Buesgens asked if the County had any toolkits for businesses. Forney replied that they are working with
the County to determine tools to provide businesses throughout the Central Avenue construction.
Deneen asked if the light rail project would have any tools. Márquez-Simula replied that there should
be tools provided. Forney stated staff would look into it.
Márquez-Simula suggested the EDA work on encouraging tight bonds between businesses and doing
business block parties. The City could provide opportunities for businesses to express their opinion on
what would be helpful during the Central Avenue construction. The City could learn how to get through
the construction period in an equitable and helpful way for businesses.

Deneen suggested doing the culinary passport program based on the Central Avenue construction.
There could be specials for the restaurants under construction to encourage people to go to them. She
added that the City could partner with HeightsNext to build a strategy. Forney agreed and added that
the next steps are to build a plan and to build relationships with businesses.
Spriggs asked if the State funds for affordable housing projects could be used for a business relief fund
during the Central Avenue construction . Forney replied that the affordable housing funds are
restricted, but the City has a W-3 and W-4 TIF district that has been used for Habitat for Humanity. The
EDA could use the ACHRA levy to shift funds to a business relief fund.
Márquez-Simula suggested getting community groups together who might be in contact with
businesses and ask for ideas on how to support businesses during the Central Avenue construction.
Deneen mentioned that the City needs to focus on making the parking ramp more aesthetically
pleasing to encourage parking. She added that it is not a pleasant experience to walk between the two
buildings to the parking ramp, and by making the area look more pleasing, it will encourage people to
go to the surrounding businesses. Buesgens suggested putting in post lights that could be screwed into
the cement. Forney noted that Voight is working on the purchase of the pass-through and the
easement for the public art and lights. The City will have the easement for the lights on the side of the
building.
Chirpich noted that the lighting has been upgraded for the ramp and the alleyway, and there are
additional police patrols in the ramp area to crack down on non-parking behavior that has taken place.
A camera trailer has been installed in the ramp outside the entrance.
Spriggs asked if there was discussion about putting meters in the parking ramp. Chirpich replied that
there have been discussions and that it could provide revenue. Forney added that the next step is to
add signage with the Police Department that allows 24-hour-only parking. He explained that people
have been storing cars in the ramp.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
4. Consideration of a Variance for reduced parking lot setback for 81 38th Ave NE
Presenting Item: Ursula Brandt, City Planner
Introduction: Brandt stated that the applicant owns the building at 81 38th Ave and has run
a successful business in this location for decades. In 2012, the applicant first asked for a
variance to the parking setback to accommodate the addition of a parking lot to the west
of the building. The original request (granted through resolution 2012-050) was to allow for
a 0.5ft setback from the side property line to accommodate 18ft by 9ft parking spaces and
a 24ft drive aisle. The current request is for a 0 ft setback from the side property line s to
accommodate an accessible sidewalk leading to the west entrance, along with 18ft by 9ft
parking spaces and a 24 ft drive aisle.
Brandt explained that, as noted in 2012, and is still relevant today, a vacation of the
California Street right-of-way was conducted in the 1990s. The result of the vacation gave
an additional 30 ft of land to the subject property. Upon review of the area, it was
discovered that there are some city utilities along the right -of-way, but they are buried
deep enough to accommodate the construction of a parking lot.
Brandt noted that the applicant is utilizing the building for office and warehousing. The City
Code requires 1 parking space for each 300 sqft of office space and 1 parking space for
each 3,000 sqft of warehousing. The building has 1,500 sqft of office and 4,500 sqft of
warehouse, requiring 7 parking spaces. Currently, the property utilizes approximately 11
parking spaces along the south side of the building, all of which are legal non -conforming
for setbacks, and none are handicap accessible. The applicant would like to accommodate
more parking on the property by constructing a 5-space parking lot to the west of the
building, which includes one handicap accessible parking space located in front of the main
entrance to the building. City Code 9.111(C) requires parking areas to be no closer than 20
ft from the front property line and 5 ft from the side and rear property lines. City Code
9.106(L)(7) prescribes parking spaces to be a minimum of 9 ft wide and 18 ft deep when
abutting a curb, and the drive aisle width to access the parking spaces can be no less than
24 ft. To accommodate the new parking lot, the applicant is seeking a variance for the
following:
1. Variance to allow for a 0 ft parking lot setback on the west and north property
lines and an increased amount of 0 ft setback on the east property line.
Questions/Comments from Members:
Gianoulis asked if railroad tracks were on the west side. Forney replied that the railroad is
at the bottom of the hill, and the space to the west is green space. The City owns the west
portion of the area.

Brandt added that neighboring properties within 350 feet of the applicant were notified
about the public hearing. Several people reached out to staff with questions, but once they
understood that additional parking would be included, they were excited about the
project.
Schmitz asked if the area to the west is developable. Forney replied that it is not.
Moses asked if there was an environmental study conducted and what the environmental
impacts would be. Forney replied that the City does not require an environmental study for
a parking lot to be paved. The Engineering Department and stormwater specialist reviewed
the application.

Christopherson opened the Public Hearing. There were no public comments.

5. Conditional Use Permit and Final Site Plan Approval for a Car Wash at 47th and Central
Ave
Presenting Item: Ursula Brandt, City Planner
Introduction: Brandt stated in 2003 that the subject property, along with parcels to the
north and east, was rezoned to Mixed Use District, with the purpose of promoting
development and redevelopment by allowing the mix of at least two different uses and
providing flexibility on bulk requirements. The site was previously occupied by a Kmart
shopping Center. Also in 2003, the first site plan was reviewed and approved for a
residential portion of the district, resulting in the development of Grand Central Commons,
which consists of Grand Central Flats, Lofts, and Townhomes.
Brandt noted that in 2008, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved a commercial
development consisting of office and commercial space, along with a parking ramp. In
2018, a Hy-Vee convenience store/gas station was proposed and approved for the site.
However, none of the approved site plans for the commercial portion of the mixed-use
district have been developed.
Brandt explained that the applicant met with the City in May of 2026 to review the
requirements to locate a Car Wash on the subject property at the corner of 47th Avenue
28
Item 4.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES July 07, 2026
Planning Commission Page 4
and Central Ave. Staff relayed the requirements, including the Public Hearing and the
Sound Study, to the applicant, who submitted their proposal for the Crew Car Wash in June
of 2026.
Brandt stated the Zoning Ordinance requires the Planning Commission to hold a Public
Hearing on the application for the Conditional Use Permit and submit its recommendation
to the City Council. The subject property is zoned MXD (Mixed -Use District) in a planned
development that consists of Grand Central Flats, Lofts, and Townhomes. The subject
property and the property to the north are the last undeveloped parcels in the Mixed -Use
District. The Zoning Ordinance 9.112 specifies that Mixed-Use developments shall contain
at least two of the following three land use categories: Residential Uses, Commercial Uses,
or Institutional Uses. The district currently only has residential uses in the form of
townhomes, condominiums, and apartments. Therefore, the last undeveloped parcels
must be either commercial or institutional uses. A car wash is permitted, with a conditional
use permit, commercial use in the Zoning Ordinance, and is subject to Specific
Development Standards 9.107(10) for a car wash. The proposed site plan, as conditioned,
shall meet the following specific development standards:
a) Water from the Car Wash shall not drain across any sidewalk or into any public
right-of-way;
b) Vacuum facilities shall be located in an enclosed structure or located at least 50 feet
from any residential property line to avoid noise impacts.
c) 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 purpose of removing
litter found thereon.
d) A sound study is required to determine the overall impact upon the surrounding
properties and ensure compliance with performance standards and MPCA sound
requirements.
e) All new car washes must be located on a minimum of one acre of land.
Brandt noted that the submitted site plan illustrates a total of 12 off-street parking stalls.
The Zoning Ordinance requires two (2) spaces per bay plus four (4) stacking spaces for the
one (1) car wash bay, including one (1) stacking space at the exit. The Zoning Ordinance
also specifies that employee parking is only required when th e parking requirements are
based on employee counts; as such, the parking requirements for car washes are
determined by the number of service bays and stacking spaces, not employee counts.
However, the proposed plans indicate four (4) employee-designated parking stalls.
Appropriately, one off-street parking space on the site has been designated as a disability
stall (in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act) along with an access aisle
striped with “No Parking”. The proposed site plan has more off-street parking than
required and has accounted for employee parking needs.
Brandt stated the applicant meets the Tree Preservation and Replanting Standards in 9.106
General Development Standards (M). All trees that exist on the site are considered
volunteer weed trees of undesirable and invasive species and are to be removed with the
development. The applicant is required to provide one tree for every 50 feet of street
29

Planning Commission Page 5
frontage, and the property has 446 feet of frontage for a total of nine (9) trees, a minimum
of four (4) trees per one acre of lot coverage standards for a total of 13 trees proposed.
Additionally, the applicant is proposing landscaping containing native plantings and
pollinator-friendly habitats for the majority of the trees, shrubs, and grasses used. The City
Forester is satisfied with the proposed landscaping plan.
Brandt explained that as a condition of approval, the applicant is required to provide a
letter of credit or other security as acceptable to the City and shall be deposited w ith the
Zoning Administrator, in an amount equal to 100% of the estimated cost of landscaping
and/or screening. The letter of credit or other security, as acceptable to the City, or
portions thereof, shall be forfeited to maintain and/or replace materials for a period of
time, to include at least two growing seasons. A portion of the letter of credit or other
security, as acceptable, may be released after one growing season, as determined by the
Zoning Administrator. The property owner shall be responsible for the continued
maintenance of landscaping and screening materials to remain in compliance with the
requirements of this section. Plant materials that show signs of disease or damage shall be
promptly removed and replaced within the next planting season.
Brandt noted that the proposed site is considered part of the Highway District in the City
Design Guidelines and is subject to the standards and requirements of that design district.
The proposed site plan demonstrates compliance with the design objectives of the
Highway District; the building is set back from the street behind a parking lot. The
architectural renderings and site plan, as conditioned, show compliance with building
configuration, façade and roof treatments, building equipment, drive-through facilities,
landscaping, and parking meet the design guidelines. It is conditioned that all windows and
doors must also meet the design guidelines to ensure that only 50% of the windows are
opaque. Any proposed signage will be subject to the design standards as a condition of
approval.
Brandt stated the applicant has provided a Sound Study that analyzed the sound impact
that the car wash and vacuum operations will have on the adjacent residential properties
and provided mitigations they will use to decrease the sound impact to meet MPCA
standards. The applicant is proposing the following mitigation strategies for the vacuums;
reduction in the number of vacuums from 10 to 8, placement of the vacuums at the
northern extent of the proposed parking lot, vacuum suction will be generated at a single
location within the carwash tunnel, vacuum nozzles will be used that have a lower
operational noise levels, and an 8 ft by 20 ft brick noise wall will be installed adjacent to the
southernmost vacuum unit. The applicant is also proposing the following mitigation
strategies to the design of the tunnel: blower units are to be placed inside the tunnel to
allow for a 30 ft sound-deadening room adjacent to the tunnel exit, (2) 8 ft tall, 10 ft wide
roller doors at each end of the tunnel that will be closed whenever the blower units are
active. With the use of the mitigation strategies, the Car Wash will meet the MPCA noise
standards.
Recommendation: Staff did not receive any comments from the public and are
recommending approval of the site plan and conditional use permit.

Questions/Comments from Members:
Schmitz asked if there would be a roundabout at 47th Avenue. He asked how people would
access the car wash. Brandt replied that yes there will be a round about at 47th and Central
but the only access point to the site will be from 47th Avenue. Schmitz asked if staff spoke
with the applicant about the construction on Central Avenue and the impacts on the
business. Brandt replied that staff had a pre-construction meeting with the applicant to
inform them about the construction, the timeline, and the requirements for the site.
Schmitz asked if the remaining lot to the north was big enough for development. Brandt
replied that it is large enough for development. She noted some topographic issues that a
future developer would need to deal with.
Christopherson inquired about the wastewater mitigation system. Civil Engineer for the
project, Matt Schwartz, explained that the wash water from the car wash is filtered into
different reclaimed system manholes. All the discharged water will go into the sanitary
sewer. The manholes get cleaned out on a regular basis so that the debris does not fill up.
There are four manholes in the center of the configuration that act as a water reclai m
system. The water from the final rinse is discharged into another set of manholes. All of the
water from the car wash is being collected inside the tunnel and discharged into the
sanitary sewer. There is a trench drain at the end of the car wash for the residual wash
water. The trench drain leads to the underground stormwater infiltration system and is
treated like the rest of the stormwater on the site.
Gianoulis inquired about the lighting and wondered if the lighting would be a nuisance to
the neighborhood. Mr. Schwartz replied that one of the conditions for approval is that the
lighting needed to be downlighting. The City has a lighting Code that explains the lighting
requirements. The site will not produce more light pollution than a typical street l ight.
Brandt confirmed that the site would meet the City’s requirements.
Schmitz asked if the exit was a wall to be driven around. Brandt replied that the wall
indicated on the graphic was to depict the flow of traffic. She pointed out a sound wall that
is included in the western portion of the site.
Public Hearing Opened.
Christopherson opened the Public Hearing.
Public Hearing Closed.
Paul Biernet, City resident, expressed his concern regarding keeping the integrity of the
boulder wall that was intended to be kept throughout the entire apartment development
near the site. He asked that the wall not be replaced with a cheap retaining wal l. He
requested that there be full-time monitoring for noise since there can be long-term health
effects. He encouraged the Commissioners to come to the area to see what the lighting is
like in the evening because there is a lot of light that comes from across the street. There
are three car washes within a quarter mile. He expressed his concern that another car wash
31
Item 4.
City of Columbia Heights MINUTES July 07, 2026
Planning Commission Page 7
will drive other car washes out of business, and there will be more dilapidated properties.
He suggested including more landscaping to help mitigate the sound from echoing up the
hill.
Mary Matthews, City resident, noted that there is a bright light through her window from
Savers. She added that 47th Avenue is full of parked vehicles, including large trucks. She
asked how there would be room for vehicles to line up for a car wash, and if there is a
concern about ice on the hill since vehicles will exit onto 47 th Avenue. She asked if the
parcel went up to Grand Avenue. Forney replied that it goes up to the right-of-way. The
seven feet of right-of-way to Grand Avenue is owned by the City. Ms. Matthews explained
that the property owners from Central Avenue to Grand Avenue do not maintain the
property.
Motion by Johnson, seconded by Rehfuss, to close the public hearing. All ayes. MOTION
PASSED.
Johnson asked why so many trucks were parked on 47th Avenue. Forney replied that it is a
Twin Cities-wide issue for commercial vehicles to find parking. He added that it is difficult
to enforce because the vehicles typically move within the allotted time.
Schmitz asked if the developer had done a study to determine if they could make a profit
even with the other car wash businesses in the area. Forney replied that the developer did
a market study.
Motion by Moses, seconded by Rehfuss, to waive the readings of draft Resolution No. 2026-
042 and Resolution 2026-PZ02, there being ample copies available to the public. All ayes.
MOTION PASSED.

BACKGROUND
The new Municipal Service Center project will design, construct, furnish, and equip a facility and out-building
for the Columbia Heights Public Works Department, to be constructed on the existing City owned site located
at 675 37th Avenue, and when completed, demolish the existing Public Works building located at 637 38th
Avenue NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421.
The proposed new facility will replace the existing 51,605 square foot Public Works building constructed in
1971. An existing facility analysis was completed in 2021 identifying issues with structural deterioration, total
space, accessibility and safety of employees and visitors to the facility. The study identified a need for an
80,805 square feet facility consisting of vehicle storage, vehicle maintenance spaces, and offices as well as a
new fuel island and expanded public recycling area. The Public Works Department provides streets, parks,
utilities (water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer), engineering, street lighting, forestry, refuse, ce ntral garage and
central building services for the City.
The existing site is 7.6 acres. To accommodate the increased department needs, the Southern Anoka
Community Assistance (SACA) vacated building (located on City owned land) to the northwest will be
purchased and incorporated into the Public Works site planning, as well as shifting Madison Street to the west
to allow the new Public Works facility to orient and fit between property lines and front 37th Avenue NE.
These two site modifications will allow for the office area and employee parking to be separated from the
heavy truck traffic of the yard operations and keep local business traffic separate from the operations of Public
Works.
SUMMARY OF CURRENT STATUS
The City of Columbia Heights has been selected to receive a Special Appropriation Award from the 2026
Minnesota Legislature for new Municipal Service Center. Grant funds will be applied to the pre-design and
design of a new Public Works facility, an expanded public recycling area, a new access road, and other related

PLANNING CASE NUMBER: 2026-PZ07
APPLICANT: NuLife Holdings LLC & NuLife Recovery
LOCATION: Citywide
BACKGROUND
Community Development staff are bringing forward for the City Council’s consideration a zoning text
amendment to allow State-Licensed Residential Care Facilities as a conditional use within the Central Business
(CBD) District. Because this request has the potential to influence future land use and redevelopment
opportunities throughout the City's downtown, staff believe it is important to first provide background on the
City's long-term vision for the Central Business District and the planning policies that have guided the
evolution of the district. This context will assist in evaluating the proposed amendment against the City's
Comprehensive Plan and the required Findings of Fact for a zoning text amendment.
Over the past several years, the City has partnered with the Minnesota Department of Transportation
(MnDOT) on the redevelopment of Central Avenue. During the community visioning process, residents
expressed a strong desire to narrow Central Avenue within the Central Business District to crea te a more
identifiable and welcoming downtown corridor for Columbia Heights. MnDOT incorporated this community
vision into the redevelopment plans, which also include enhanced streetscape improvements and multi -use
trails extending throughout the downtown area and connecting surrounding neighborhoods to the city's core.
Through the Central Avenue redevelopment and the ongoing update of the City's Comprehensive Plan, the
City and community are working together to strengthen the Central Business District as a vibrant, pedestrian
oriented destination. Building on its existing mix of commercial uses that generate activity, including
restaurants, retail shops, and a destination theater, the vision is to create a dynamic downtown that attracts
residents and visitors while supporting continued economic growth and investment.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AGENDA SECTION ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION
MEETING DATE AUGUST 10, 2026

Item 11.
City of Columbia Heights Page 2
The 4000 Central Ave building is located in the heart of Columbia Heights' designated Central Business District
and downtown. For many years, 4000 Central served as office and clinic space for Fairview Medical,
contributing significantly to downtown foot traffic and daily activity. In 2020, the Fairview Clinic closed, and
the property has remained vacant since then.
CURRENT STATUS
Zoning Considerations
The applicant purchased the building in early 2026 and proposed the use of an in-patient drug treatment
facility, which is considered a residential care facility in City Code, on two floors of the building along with an
out-patient facility on another level of the building.
9.103 of the City Zoning Code classifies drug treatment facilities as:
“Residential Care Facilities” with the definition “A licensed public or private facility, which, for gain or
otherwise, regularly provides one or more dependents with 24-hour-a-day substitute for the care,
food, lodging, training, supervision, rehabilitation, and treatment they need, but which for any reason
cannot be furnished in the dependent’s own home. The term includes facilities that are licensed by the
Minnesota Department of Health, foster homes, residential treatment facilities, maternity shelters,
group homes, schools for challenged children, and homes for battered children or spouses. Such term
shall not include any facility eligible for licensure by the Minnesota Department of
Corrections. Residential care facilities serving six or fewer dependents are considered permitted uses in
all residential zoning districts where single family residences are permitted subject to the same
regulations.”
Residential Care Facilities serving six or more residents are currently only allowed in LB (Limited Business
District), R-3 (Limited Multiple Family) and R-4 (Multiple Family) as conditional uses.
The applicant is proposing a text amendment to the City Code to allow Residential Care Facilities in the Central
Business District as an allowed use with a conditional use permit, as well as proposing a change to the specific
development standards pertaining to Residential Care Facilities.

(36) Residential Care Facility
(d) On-site services shall be for residents of the facility only., except where the facility is located within a
multi-story commercial structure and maintains distinct separation (architecturally or by schedule) between
residential and non-residential clients.
Analysis of Zoning Ordinance Amendment and Required Findings of Fact
Section 9.104 (F) of the Zoning Ordinance outlines findings of fact that must be satisfied in order for the City to
grant approval for a zoning amendment. The findings are as follows:
(a) The amendment is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Not satisfied.
The City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan envisions the Central Avenue corridor, particularly the area
around 40th Avenue and Central Avenue, as the community's primary commercial and civic
destination. The Plan emphasizes “creating a unified downtown central business district that serves as
a focal point for the City”. The subject site is designated Central Business District (CBD):
“The CBD, Central Business District provides for the development and redevelopment of the
established downtown core, including a mix of retail, financial, office, service and
entertainment uses. Residential units are allowed within this district when located above a first-
floor commercial use.”
It further identifies this intersection as an Area of Opportunity, with a guiding principle for
redevelopment of the area to "encourage uses that will attract people and enliven this central point of
entertainment and commerce."
While Residential Care Facilities and drug treatment centers provide important community services,
they are generally institutional or residential in nature rather than destination -oriented commercial
uses. Their primary function is to provide treatment, housing, and support for re sidents or patients,
rather than to generate pedestrian activity, retail spending, or public engagement that contributes to a
vibrant downtown environment.
Unlike restaurants, retail establishments, entertainment venues, offices, or mixed -use developments, a
residential treatment facility typically serves a limited resident population and receives relatively few
visitors from the broader community. As a result, it may not significantly contribute to the street -level
activity, consumer traffic, or economic vitality that the Comprehensive Plan seeks to foster along the
Central Avenue corridor.
Because land within the Central Business District is limited, using a prominent site in a designated Area
of Opportunity for an institutional residential use would red uce opportunities for commercial, mixed-
use, and entertainment-oriented development that directly support the Comprehensive Plan's goal of
enhancing the image and economic vitality of the Central Avenue corridor. For these reasons, City staff
finds the proposed zoning text amendment is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan's land use
goals and vision for the Central Business District.
(b) The amendment is in the public interest and is not solely for the benefit of a single property owner.
Satisfied.
The zoning text amendment would allow residential care facilities in the entirety of the Central
Business District and therefore would not solely benefit a single property owner.

(c) 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.
Not applicable.
The amendment is not to change the zoning classification of a particular property.
(d) 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 its current zoning classification.
Not applicable.
The amendment is not to change the zoning classification of a particular property.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At the August 5th Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Zoning Text
Amendment and conducted a public hearing. No comments were received during the public hearing. The
Planning Commission engaged in a thorough discussion of the proposal, including discussion of other uses
permitted within the Central Business District, the potential future of the property at 4000 Central Avenue if
the application were denied, and the services that a treatment facility at that location could provide to the
community. Following its discussion, the Planning Commission voted 3 –2 to recommend denial of the
proposed zoning text amendment.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends denial of the amendment to the Zoning Code because:
1) it is in direct conflict with the Comprehensive Plan,
2) it does not fit the vision of the downtown district , and
3) it does not meet the Findings of Fact that are required by Section 9.104(F) as specified above.
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1727, there being ample copies available to the
public.
MOTION: Move to deny Ordinance No. 1727, an ordinance amending Chapter 9 (Land Use) of the City Code
to amend Sections 9.106, General Development Standards, and 9.107, Specific Development Standards.

Narrative Framework for Zoning Text Amendment & Variance Request
Applicants: NuLife Holdings LLC & NuLife Recovery
Parcel ID: 35-30-24-41-0163
Property Address: 4000 Central Ave NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421
Mailing Address: NuLife Holdings LLC c/o Twin Cities Roofing,
Current Zoning: Central Business District (CBD)
Proposed Use: 245G Medical Treatment and Wellness Facility
Introduction and Purpose of Request
The Applicants respectfully submit this application to request a Zoning Text Amendment to
the Columbia Heights Central Business District (CBD) ordinance to include “Residential
Care Facilities” as a “Permitted” or “Conditional Use”, as well as a concurrent request to
amend or grant a variance regarding the City Ordinance service restrictions on Residential
Care Facilities to allow for integrated outpatient services.
The objective is to repurpose the vacant commercial building at 4000 Central Ave NE into a
state-of-the-art, 245G-licensed medical treatment and wellness facility. The proposed
operational model optimizes the building’s three-story layout:
• Floors 1 & 2: Dedicated exclusively to short-term inpatient residential housing.
• Floor 3: Dedicated to treatment programming, securely accommodating inpatient
clients during daytime hours (Monday–Friday) and outpatient clients during evenings
and weekends.
Why a Text Amendment is Necessary
A text amendment—rather than a parcel rezoning to a Limited Business (LB) District—is
necessary to preserve the existing property's compliance. The structure's exterior facade
approaches or exceeds 40-to-42 feet, which strictly conflicts with the 35-foot maximum
building height restriction imposed in the LB District. The following narrative outlines how
this proposed use aligns with the City's comprehensive planning goals, mirrors existing
121
Item 11.
Page 2 of 4
permitted medical uses, and provides substantial economic benefits to the downtown
corridor.
Precedent for Evolving Central Business District Uses
The Columbia Heights CBD is the commercial heart of the city, designed to accommodate a
diverse and evolving mix of services, retail, and professional spaces. Historically, the City
has demonstrated a willingness to amend the permitted and conditional uses within the
CBD to adapt to changing market demands—such as the previous additions of recreational
facilities like billiard halls and bowling alleys.
The integration of a modern medical wellness facility represents a similar, necessary
evolution of the downtown district. By updating the zoning text to permit Residential Care
Facilities in the CBD, the City ensures that its downtown remains a dynamic, mixed-use hub
that adapts to modern healthcare and professional service demands.
Economic Revitalization of a Stagnant Property
The property at 4000 Central Ave NE has sat vacant and unutilized for several years. In its
current state, the vacant footprint detracts from the vitality of the Central Avenue corridor
and produces no active economic footprint for the surrounding business community.
NuLife Recovery proposes a substantial capital investment to fully renovate the interior of
the building, bringing it up to modern architectural, aesthetic, and safety standards.
Activating this property will eliminate a prominent downtown vacancy, prevent the risk of
blight, stabilize the block, and increase the inherent property value of both the subject parcel
and neighboring properties.
Substantial Job Creation & Local Economic Impact
The proposed facility will be a thriving, high-volume contributor to the local economy. In
Phase One of operations, the facility will create an estimated 30 to 50 immediate full-time
equivalent (FTE) jobs, spanning professional medical staff, counselors, administrative
personnel, security, and facility maintenance.
Operating across three shifts, this consistent influx of professionals will provide a direct
secondary economic benefit to the CBD. Staff, visitors, and facility vendors will regularly
patronize local downtown restaurants, coffee shops, and retail establishments, generating
sustainable, year-round daytime and evening foot traffic that supports the broader Columbia
Heights commercial ecosystem.
Medical Facility Parity within the CBD
122
Item 11.
Page 3 of 4
Under the current Columbia Heights zoning code, a "Clinic, medical or dental" is a Permitted
(P) Use within the CBD. NuLife Recovery's proposed operation is, fundamentally, a highly
regulated medical facility focused on holistic, evidence-based practices and wellness.
The primary distinction between the proposed 245G program and a standard permitted
medical clinic is the logistical requirement for short-term, overnight residential care for a
portion of the patient population, as overnight care facilities are currently not provided at
standard clinics. Because the intensity of the use, the professional nature of the staff, and
the daily operations mirror those of standard medical offices and clinics already permitted
in the CBD, allowing this use via a text amendment represents a logical parity in municipal
zoning logic.
Current City Ordinance Regarding State-Licensed Residential Care Facilities
Current municipal code regarding State Licensed Residential Care Facilities dictates that
"On-site services shall be for residents of the facility only." To accommodate the necessary
outpatient component without triggering severe state licensing conflicts or artificial property
subdivisions, the Applicant requests the following legislative modification to the text:
Proposed Ordinance Amendment (CBD Text) for State Licensed Residential Care
Facilities
"On-site services shall be for residents of the facility only, except where the facility is located
within a multi-story commercial structure and maintains distinct separation (architecturally
or by schedule) between residential and non-residential clients."
Alternative Language: "If the facility is a single -family or two-family dwelling, on-site services
shall be for residents of the facility only."
While splitting the building into two separate addresses was considered to circumvent the
current restriction, doing so creates severe regulatory and operational complications.
Operating under multiple addresses triggers dual property tax burdens, leasing and billing
complications, and more importantly, significant licensing conflicts under the state's 245G
framework. Maintaining one integrated entity and license ensures the highest standard of
regulatory compliance, safety, and oversight.
Alignment with Variance Standards (Practical Difficulties)
Should the city prefer a Variance over a text amendment for this restriction, the request is
justified by unique practical difficulties inherent to the property's physical structure:
1. Inherent Physical Layout: The building's rigid, multi-story vertical layout makes
physical subdivision into separate addresses structurally impractical, yet its floor
plates provide ideal, built-in physical segregation for different care tiers.
123
Item 11.
Page 4 of 4
2. Regulatory Compliance: Artificially splitting the building into two separate physical
addresses to circumvent the text restriction would trigger severe state licensing
conflicts under the Minnesota 245G framework, effectively denying the property a
reasonable, permitted medical use.
Strict Operational Controls & Logistics (Address of Dual Use within the City Ordinance)
To ensure the dual-use facility integrates seamlessly and safely into the CBD, the applicant
is implementing rigorous logistical separations, including:
• Architectural Separation & Scheduling: Outpatient and residential spaces are
restricted to separate floors. The programming floor (Floor 3) will operate as a shared
space utilizing dual-use scheduling separations: daytime Monday-Friday
programming for inpatient clients, and evening/weekend programming for outpatient
clients.
• Advanced Access Control: The facility will utilize state-of-the-art access control and
security systems, with keycard-controlled front elevator and front stairwell (requiring
ID badges) to ensure outpatient clients can only access the designated programming
floor, keeping them completely physically separated from inpatient clients.
• 24/7 Security & Staffing: The property will be actively managed and monitored
around the clock by professional staff.
• Required Curfews: Residential patients will be subject to strict rules, curfews,
supervision, and rigid daily schedules, resulting in highly controlled, minimal exterior
foot traffic compared to standard retail or commercial uses.
Conclusion
The proposed text amendment and concurrent variance represent a collaborative
opportunity to eliminate a prolonged commercial vacancy, generate dozens of professional
jobs, and bring a high-quality medical use to a district where medical clinics are already
welcomed. We respectfully request approval of this application to allow NuLife Recovery to
invest in the vitality and safety of the Columbia Heights community.

A Message from the CEO: Purpose Driven, Mission, and Redemption
The property at 4000 Central Ave NE has sat vacant and unutilized on the open market for
years. While it features a unique footprint as a medical facility, it has struggled to compete
in the modern healthcare market. Frankly, the building requires a substantial aesthetic
overhaul in the exam rooms and serious mechanical and HVAC upgrades to overcome the
challenges of an aging infrastructure. Where competitors saw a liability, I saw a profound
opportunity. I saw a structure that could be repurposed into an agent of positive change for
the people and the community.
This mission is deeply personal to me. I am living proof that recovery is real and that
redemption is possible.
I have been in active recovery for a decade. Because of that sobriety, I have been blessed to
be reunited with my family as a father and a partner. It has allowed me to build a
successful, trusted local business as the owner of Twin Cities Roofing. Having experienced
the devastating toll that drugs and alcohol take on individuals and families, I have made a
substantial personal and financial investment in this venture to help others become the
best versions of themselves.
We are asking the City of Columbia Heights to stand with us in this mission. This facility is
an opportunity to fight for what is right, healthy, and good. Our goal is to show people that
happiness in sobriety is real and attainable, and to equip them to return to their families as
better partners, better parents, stronger leaders, and as productive members of society.
Together, we can eliminate a long-standing commercial vacancy and make a difference in
the lives of individuals, in the lives of their children, and in their greater contribution to
society. We are making it our mission to assist people seeking positive change in finding
their redemption, just as I found mine.
I thank you in advance for your partnership, your leadership, and your support.
Respectfully,
/s Paul Anderson__________
