' erges•', M. or AGENDA ITEM 6B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul Bengtson CC MEETING DATE: February 28, 2005 TOPIC: Resolution Number 05 -13 Conditional Use Permit Amendment Molin Concrete ACTION REQUIRED: 3/5 vote BACKGROUND Molin Concrete is proposing two additions to the existing facilities at 415 Lilac Street. One is an outdoor storage bay with an overhead crane, and the other is a 17,500 square foot addition to the pre -cast fabrication area. Under the new zoning ordinance, the site plan review is done administratively. However, a Conditional Use Permit amendment is necessary; therefore the comments for the Site Plan Review will be included in this report. The Molin property is covered entirely by a conditional use permit for the concrete plant. An interim use permit for outdoor storage also covers the northern 20 acres. This new application does not involve the storage area. Building additions such as those proposed in this application require an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit. Because this application involves the CUP amendment, it is appropriate to review the conditions placed on the site through the last CUP amendment in 2003. That City amended the CUP with Resolution 03 -73. ANALYSIS Comprehensive Plan, Land Use and Zoning: The table below identifies the existing land use and zoning as well as guided land uses for the area. Location Existing Land Use Guided Land Use Existing Zoning Site Industrial Industrial LI (Light Industrial) & GI (General Industrial) North Single Family Low Density Unsewered Residential R (Rural) South Industrial Industrial GI (General Industrial) East Single Family Industrial, Commercial & Low Density Unsewered Residential R (Rural) West Single Family Low Density Unsewered Residential R (Rural) & R -1 (Single Family Residential) • • SITE PLAN Molin Amendment Page 2 of 3 Buildings: Site plans have been submitted for two additions. One is an outdoor storage bay with an overhead crane. This will attached to the north side of the two existing storage bays, just north of the existing extruded pre -cast manufacturing building, and will meet all required setbacks. The second proposed addition is a 17,500 square foot addition to the north side of the existing manufacturing and batch plant, which will also meet all required setbacks. Lighting: The lighting plan for the 17,500 square foot addition depicts seven additional wall mounted lighting fixtures, however due to the fact that that it is setback so far from property lines, a revised photometric lighting plan was not required with this submittal. However a condition similar to that put on the most recent Conditional Use Permit amendment will be added requiring hoods, direction from residential, and 90 degree cut off angles for all new exterior lighting. Traffic: The building additions are being made to accommodate current manufacturing activities on site. The additions will not increase the number of employees or the amount of traffic generated by the concrete plant. The City has not received any recent calls about traffic concerns. Grading/Drainage, Utilities: A grading and utility plan was submitted with this application, and was thoroughly reviewed by the City Engineer. A memorandum is attached to this report that outline all of the City Engineer's comments. The City has received notification from the Rice Creek Watershed District that the proposed additions will have only a minor effect on the site and will therefore be treated as an amendment to the existing permit. Landscaping: There is no landscaping proposed for these additions, and staff does not recommend any additional landscaping. These additions are both fairly minor in nature compared to the existing facilities on site, and screening in the form of landscaping and walls is already provided in ample quantity. Completion of a number of landscaping issues was a condition of approval for one of Molin's previous Conditional Use Permit amendment (Resolution 01 -182), given in November of 2001 for an expansion of the facilities. These landscaping issues involved tree and shrub planting on the berm to the north of the property, as well as native seed planting around the pond located north of the berm. When the latest amendment was proposed in 2003 (Resolution 03 -73) city staff visited the site and verified that the landscaping plan approved in 2001 was being implemented properly according to the approved planting plan. City staff will complete another inspection of the site for conformance to the approved landscaping plan once weather permits. • • PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD Molin Amendment Page 3 of3 The Planning and Zoning board recommended approval of the proposed amendment to the Conditional Use Permit at the February 9, 2005 meeting. The major concern the board expressed was that the landscaping that was previously approved was appropriately installed and was being maintained. OPTIONS. 1. Approve Resolution 05 -13 and the proposed amendment to the Conditional Use Permit. 2. Deny Resolution 05 -13 and the proposed amendment to the Conditional Use Permit. 3. Return to staff with direction. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions: 1. Issues discussed in the City Engineer review memo must be addressed to his satisfaction. 2. Exterior lighting fixtures shall be hooded and directed to reflect light away from neighboring residential properties and rights of way. The fixtures must have a 90- degree cut off angle. 3. All conditions in Resolution 01 -182 continue to apply. Attachments: 1. City Engineer Comments dated February 4, 2005 2. Cover Sheet and Site Plan received January 20, 2005 3. Floor Plan and Exterior Elevations received January 5, 2005 4. Grading/Drainage /Erosion Control Plan received February 4, 2005
